Is it possible to Root my Galaxy S20 +? (G986U)

[ROB_The_Retro_Guy]

I've been told that samsung locks their phones so you can't root them. Is this true or is it still possible to root this phone? It is a SM-G986U and uses a Snapdragon 865.

I've tried following a bunch of tutorials on YT, but they all say to activate OEM unlock, which doesn't appear to me. I've tried changing the date and everything to no avail.

thanks!

United States snapdragon does not have oem unlock meaning no root unless your bootloader isn't updated to high. Then you can use a service to unlock bootloader
