FAQ
Q: Can i use this recovery with other firmware then mentioned in compatibility?
A: Only with same Android version and only if you don't plan to boot rooted with TWRP (some kernels deliver root prebuilt in kernel), or Rollback protection will kick in and you won't be able to pass the lockscreen.

Q: Where do i get vbmeta.img?
A: From here, download the one you need according to install instructions.

Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.

Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you flashed multidisabler zip / formatted data partition.

Q: How to format data partition?
A:

Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, consider installing an older TWRP build or a more recent firmware. If you still don't succeed, post here some details about your device and previous firmware and we might be able to help.

Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old firmware encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

Nice, congrats!

Hi, i'm getting the Note 10 soon & remember when i've tested the S10 months ago that i had trouble with twrp encryption/decryption : can you confirm after wiping data that you can encrypt it (system) and twrp will be able to decrypt it after you enter your pattern..? Thanks.

Android 11 TWRP is up already for a while, in case you didn't notice it yet grab it from twrp.me.
Don't forget to use targeted TWRP for your android version and release, read more about compatibility in second post of this thread.
PS: N971N does not have a build compatible with OneUI 3.0 since no public release of that yet, it will be built once samsung starts pushing the update for that phone.
Regards!

HOW?!
I have the same SM-N971N, but I Got the error of showing less storage than it has after flashing. Like, -192GB/60GB and in settings it shows 16GB, Constantly says the TA Downloader has stopped.
So it messed up totally in my case ; and i reverted back

Just follow the instructions!

It seems that you have selected "repartition" option (in odin options),

You can find the solution easly. Maybe installing the stock Rom helps, but plz search for the solution before doing any further actions
