Then how come the OEM unlocking option is unavailable.... If you have ever flashed stock firmware before, maybe you flashed the wrong one? That could cause OEM unlocking option to be unavailable.

It's been unavailable since I bought the phone directly from Tmobile. I've tried every solution out there and no build for my phone regardless of carrier in the US or Canada on android 11 or 12 has the option to OEM Unlock available. I've built ROMs myself right here on Xda and flashed many Samsung devices using both odin and heimdall so I know it's not me this time. I'm just wondering if I try an latest build Android 12 GSI with this tool if I can get past vbmeta errors when flashing on my end on my end among other things?

If OEM is not unlocked you cannot get past the Verified Boot protection, even to flash a GSI. I just wonder how is that possible you can flash any other country's stock firmware and not get the OEM unlock option? Or you can't flash? Did you try the NPB firmware (Nepal/Butan, that's my favorite) and did Factory Reset without letting the system to boot after that? Flashing with NAND erase and repartitioning would also be helpful.

OEM unlock sets some secret bit somewhere, maybe via a GPIO pin. It's interesting if anyone tried to find out how exactly it is done, disassemble the stock firmware, hook oscilloscope to pins, etc.

Will the heimdall_flash_stock.sh script work for a Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G (SM-N986B C2S exynos)?

v1.15.2 released: Added the Ctrl+C trap in heimdall_flash_stock.sh, so now the temporarily renamed files are correctly renamed back in case of flashing being aborted with Ctrl+C. Upgraded Heimdall with the git pull requests, but it seems those still do not cure the relatively rare issue when flashing specific files gets completely stuck at some point.

I downloaded the stock image for my phone and when running the heimdall_flash_stock.sh with the zip file I get the following error;

Checking the PIT file format...
PIT file seems to be incorrect. Exiting...

I've got a Samsung NOTE 20 Ultra 5G and I'm in Australia and I think the phone is Telstra as it came with those apps, the bit/binary SW Rev number is 4. I've tried a 5 as it said to try the latest.

repacksuper/heimdall_flash_stock.sh N986BXXU5GWA5_N986BOXM5GWA5_TEL.zip

Should I try with the heimdall_flash.sh and pass in my pit file?

@physwizz I did have TWRP on there, but now when I boot I get the following error:

DEBORE ON_FAIL_PARTITION_ID

I can still get the downloading page though if I reboot and hold volup+voldown+plug usb in PC.

I think I have the correct stock image but I'm not completely sure. I've got the Bit/SW Rev = 4, and it's a SM-N986B Telstra phone from Australia. So I think that is one of these stock images https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-N986B/TEL/bit/4/av/all

So I've downloaded that and are you suggesting I untar & unlz4 then flash the recovery only like so?

Code: 
sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img

Thanks for reporting this! I have fixed this problem, you can try heimdall_flash_stock.sh again.

v1.15.3 released: The "file" tool used to identify PIT files was replaced with direct reading of the file header as the first method proved to be unreliable.

Alas, Heimdall sometimes fails at some files, and I can't fix it because C/C++ programming is beyond me. Recently I've backported all the git pull requests I could find which theoretically could remedy this issue but none helped. So only Odin remains.

For some firmware Heimdall works flawlessly, for example A127FXXU4AUK1, A127FXXU7CVL2, A325FXXU2AUJ4, A325FXXU2CVK3 (for A12 and A32), but not A325FXXU2BVH1 or A325FXXU2BVD6. I absolutely cannot tell why it gets stuck at some files from some particular firmware. May be it's still some weird libusb issue, but I think it's all was fixed long ago, it's something in the Odin protocol.

v1.15.6 released: Fixed compatibility issues with systems where /bin/sh is Bash, such as ArchLinux

Tried heimdall_flash_stock.sh on my brother's ArchLinux and discovered that some things are completely messed-up. Fixed it now. So not every /bin/sh the same /bin/sh and probably not really Bourne-compatible at all :oops:

    repacksuper
    ===========
    Copyleft uluruman 2021-2022

    (for LINUX/WSL only)

    This is the minimalistic set of tools + a script for Linux for the automated
    ground-up repacking and flashing of the Samsung Galaxy super.img, replacing
    the stock Android system with something much less intrusive and obtrusive
    (e.g. LineageOS). Or just some other GSI (Generic System Image).

    Additional included scripts (since v1.1) simplify flashing of stock firmware or
    separate image files under Linux using Heimdall.

    Theoretically should work for any Samsung A-series phones, and may be even for
    some others. Tested on SM-A127F/DSN made in India and Vietnam and SM-A325F/DS
    made in India, on Debian Linux 11 x64. There are reports of successful flashing
    of SM-A127M, SM-A032M and SM-A226B.

    Why this method?
    ----------------
    Repacking of super.img is the only method which allows changing of the phone's
    operating system without screwing up the Verified Boot (VB) protection
    mechanism. Keeping the VB allows you to be sure that everything besides the
    platform was indeed compiled by Samsung and wasn't tampered with, no matter from
    where you downloaded your stock firmware.

    The other reason is that although there are alternative methods of changing the
    OS, for phones with dynamic partitioning and no working version of TWRP
    available they may be even more complicated than repacking of super.img
    externally by this script.

    Requirements
    ------------
    Install the following tools from the official repositories of your Linux distro:
    simg2img xz-utils lz4 unzip gzip jq file

    Basic instructions
    ------------------
    repacksuper.sh: main script for changing your phone's operating system
    heimdall_flash_stock.sh: script for flashing stock firmware under Linux
    heimdall_flash.sh: script for flashing any custom image file under Linux
    Just run a script without any arguments to see help.

    Extra tools used (x64 binaries and sources included)
    ----------------------------------------------------

    GitHub - LonelyFool/lpunpack_and_lpmake: android super.img tools

    android super.img tools. Contribute to...
    github.com github.com

    GitHub - amo13/Heimdall: Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy devices. This is a fork of the original repository with a few crucial pull requests merged.

    Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool...
    github.com github.com

    Additional notes
    ----------------
    The included binaries for the lpunpack, lpmake and Heimdall were compiled for
    the x86_64 architecture. If your PC architecture is different (e.g. x86 32-bit
    or ARM) you have to compile these tools yourself. The full source code is
    included (or otherwise available on GitHub).

    0.9: Initial release

    0.91: Non-sparse new system is now correctly moved into the super dir

    0.91a: Bug in the new system file format checking fixed

    0.91b: Better support for spaces in paths

    0.92: Added checking for system requirements and an optional parameter for
    setting of the final tar archive name.

    0.92a: Fixed file ownership issues inside the tar distribution archive

    0.93: Added support for SM-A325F. Several minor improvements.

    0.94: Added support for gzip-packed GSI images. Packing into .tar is now done
    without question if the command line parameter is given. Tar parameter
    now can include the full path. Without the full path the default tar
    location is now the same as the GSI. Several other minor changes.

    1.0: Finally added working native Linux flashing using Heimdall (HUGE thanks
    to amo13 and Benjamin Dobell). Two new options: using empty product.img
    and silent (non-interactive) mode. Colored text. Bugfixes and minor
    changes.

    1.01: Option to specify the SUPER partition name manually (needed for flashing
    SM-A127F with Heimdall). Now it is possible to place output .img and .tar
    files in any directory and give them any name. Text terminology a bit
    clarified, help text expanded. Done many internal optimizations,
    additional sanity checks and minor changes.

    1.02: Support for SM-A032F/M and similar firmwares with non-packed super.img.
    Support for firmwares with/without additional partitions. Support for
    arbitrary partition group names. Very experimental option to use empty
    system_ext.img for additional privacy (applicable to some phone models/
    regions). Lots of minor fixes.

    1.03: Multiple .img files are now supported in GSI archive files (one of them
    should be system.img in that case), e.g. Android AOSP zip files are now
    supported directly. The logic of flashing with Heimdall now includes more
    complex cases, such as flashing in two steps with a reboot. Unnecessary
    code in GZ unpacking removed. Some other small fixes and optimizations.

    1.1: New scripts heimdall_flash_stock.sh and heimdall_flash.sh added.
    Lots of refactoring in repacksuper.sh (because of that there may be some
    bugs left), improved and clarified UI logic, changes in where the files are
    now placed (see help for details), direct work with stock Zip firmware
    files, lots of minor changes.

    1.11: Colored text now should be correctly displayed in almost any shell that
    supports it except if it's explicitly disabled with NO_COLOR.

    1.11.1: heimdall_flash.sh now can flash Super partitions unconditionally in one
    step when using both the -s parameter and manually specifying parition
    name (e.g. SUPER for SM-A127F).

    1.12: The heimdall_flash_stock.sh script was significantly upgraded with lots of
    new features. Now it theoretically allows upgrading of stock firmware
    without erasing user data, keeping the GSI and custom recovery, etc.
    (although it's not that straightforward, read the help for details).
    A couple of fixes in the other scripts.

    1.12.1: changed unlz4 to lz4 -d, as some distros don't have the needed symlink

    1.13: In repacksuper.sh support added for the Vendor DLKM and ODM DLKM
    partitions, as well as the experimental -v option to add or replace Vendor
    DLKM with a custom image. A couple of minor fixes.

    1.14: Greatly improved logic of heimdall_flash.sh, now it's possible to specify
    both or either custom partition name and custom file name, and acquiring
    PIT from device is done only when it's needed. Versioning scheme of the
    scripts was unified: the script that was updated receives the updated
    version number of the whole pack, the rest retain the old numbers.

    1.15: up_param_tool.sh script was added: it allows altering of the boot
    sequence images (logo, "not official" warning, etc.), as well as the
    Recovery and Download internal graphics. Happy hacking, but please pay
    attention to the warning displayed after extracting the JPEG files.
    A couple of minor fixes in the other scripts.

    1.15.1: Bug with failing LZ4 uncompression fixed in repacksuper.sh and
    heimdall_flash_stock.sh.

    1.15.2: Added the Ctrl+C trap in heimdall_flash_stock.sh, so now the temporarily
    renamed files are correctly renamed back in case of flashing being
    aborted with Ctrl+C. Upgraded Heimdall with the git pull requests, but
    it seems those still do not cure the relatively rare issue when flashing
    specific files gets completely stuck at some point.

    1.15.3: The "file" tool used to identify PIT files was replaced with direct
    reading of the file header as the first method proved to be unreliable.

    1.15.4: Fixed a bug in heimdall_flash.sh (missing g flag in sed)

    1.15.5: Fixed the compatibility issue with the older LZ4 compressors

    1.15.6: Fixed compatibility issues with systems where /bin/sh is Bash, such as
    ArchLinux

    1.15.7: repacksuper.sh: fixed using the existing "repacksuper" dir as source,
    also in this mode you can now specify "-" as new system image to reuse
    everything inside the "super" subdir. New experimental -w parameter.
    All scripts: the Ctrl+C trap now switched on and off the correct way.
    Several other fixes.

    1.15.8: Fixed using the heimdall_flash_stock dirs as source for repacksuper.sh.
    A couple of other fixes.

    During the script run you can see several "Invalid sparse file format at header
    magic" warnings, just ignore them.

    For some firmware files Heimdall may not work at all (freeze indefinitely or
    exit with an error), in that case you have to resort to Odin. In many cases
    Heimdall freezes when uploading files for some time, but that does not mean it
    is completely frozen, just be patient.

    In LineageOS, Dot OS and some other GSIs I tried on SM-127F the touch screen
    remains not responsive for about 6 seconds after waking up. The problem is not
    present at least with SM-127F/DSN phones made in India, but present at least in
    those made in Vietnam. Another problem in the most, if not all, GSIs is that the
    MTP USB file transfer does not work (at least on Linux) because of the "wrong"
    (Samsung's instead of Google's) default MPT driver used by the kernel.

    Both of the aforementioned problems can be solved by installing the fixed and
    recompiled kernel.

    For the last problem alternative solutions include using apps such as
    Warpinator, Syncthing or ftpd.

    When choosing a GSI to install I really don't recommend using ones which include
    GApps and therefore use any of the Google services. Don't let corporations
    gather your data. You bought the phone and from now on it should be all yours,
    with all of its data, like a PC in the good old days. You own your device, and
    nobody has the right to stick their nose into how you use your phone, gather any
    statistics and push you any ads. You always have a choice to turn down
    privacy-unfriendly stuff, the price of that "inconvenience" is actually
    ridiculous. From my point of view, there is simply no point in using non-stock
    systems if they are still littered with the privacy-unfriendly bloatware.

    For the step-by-step guide (slightly outdated) read this and this post. Also be sure to read this post concerning the importance of optics.img. Concerning the up_param_tool.sh be sure to read this post.

    The included binaries for the lpunpack, lpmake and Heimdall were compiled for the x86_64 architecture. If your PC architecture is different (e.g. x86 32-bit or ARM) you have to compile these tools yourself. The full source code is included (or otherwise available on GitHub).

    One more important thing: if, for example, you're using the Nepalese firmware as the basis for your GSI, while you reside in the UK, you may still need to download your actual regional firmware as well. Inside the CSC part of the firmware there is a file called optics.img which contains the lists of the cellular provider carrier data specific to your region, otherwise you (probably) will be limited in number of service providers available.

    You can extract and flash optics.img separately this way:
    1. download and unzip the full stock firmware for your region of residence
    2. unpack optics.img.lz4 from the CSC_OMC_ODM tar.md5 file using the standard tar utility (e.g. tar -f CSC_OMC_ODM_A325FODM2AUJ3_CL22736284_QB44664166_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 -x optics.img.lz4)
    3. now unpack it using lz4: unlz4 optics.img.lz4
    4. pack .img into tar: tar cf optics_native.tar optics.img
    5. flash it using Odin into the CSC slot
    You can do it at any time after installing the GSI, and you have to do it only once (unless you flash the full stock firmware or the CSC slot separately, of course).

    Thanks A LOT, this works! I am finally able to run LineageOS on my phone!

    For Windows 10+ users: WSL runs this script just fine with a few additional steps.
    1. Install WSL 2 and any Linux distribution from Microsoft Store
    2. Run the distribution to finish setup
    3. Install the required packages from the post (sudo apt install for Ubuntu/Debian)
    4. Shift + Right Click in the folder where you have the script, the AP and the GSI packages
    5. Open Linux shell there
    6. Unpack & run script as stated in its help

    Voila!
