Send me your recovery.img.lz4
boot.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 and I'll see what I can do
Thanks, but I don't understand. What are those files? Where are they? Am I supposed to extract them? How?
Thank you again.
I uploaded those three files here:
It's free storage so it expires in 29 days.
S205DL is the same thing as the A205U but under TracFone's carrier, this is a US carrier and does not have the OEM unlock feature as well.

5WARNING: Rooting your phone may be dangerous.
Rooting a device may void the warranty on the device. It may also make the device unstable or if not done properly, may completely brick the device. XDA-Developers or the author does not take any responsibility for your device. Root at your own risk and only if you understand what you are doing!
This method should root your Samsung Galaxy A20 and install TWRP (all models except SM-A205U).

51. On phone developer options in settings unlock OEM and enable usb debugging. Connect phone to PC
2. Reboot into download mode by holding down both Vol up and Vol down then press vol up to continue (you may need to long press volume up to unlock the bootloader for some devices)
3. Use Odin to flash recovery.tar into the AP slot.

4. Reboot the A20 into TWRP and mount everything that you can.
5. Format Data (not just wipe) - don't restart
6. Flash View attachment Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip
7. Wipe both caches and Reboot into Recovery (for Android 10 you will need to flash Magisk 20.4)
8. Reboot system and enter all your data
To reboot into TWRP, hold down"vol up" and "power" during reboot.
Backup boot data and system so you can restore them if you need to.2You guys are mistaken here. this ROOT GUIDE is for A205 series and it doesn't work with the A207 Series. When you say A20 there are 3 type of A20 series which are:
A20e (A202F) ,
A20 (A205F, A205FN, A205G, A205GN, A205S, A205U, A205W, A205YN, A205DL, A205F, A205M) ,
A20s (A207F, A205M)
Please mention this topic is for the A20 series only which I gave above. I tried this method for A20s - A207F for more than 5 times and it didn't work at all.21
