FAQ
Q: Can i use this recovery with other firmware then mentioned in compatibility?
A: Only with same Android version or Rollback protection might 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:
ymlnQUE.jpg


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.

Hello,
When flashing the multi disabler 3.2 there's a log message :
"Disabling restoration of stock recovery... Found /vendor/recovery-from-boot.p. Disabling... Failed."

Is it normal ?

EDIT : I rebooted and lost TWRP, when I went back into recovery it was the Android one.

I'm still trying to find the issue, for whatever reason multidisabler needs a second flash to work as far as i seen on my device. So for now please flash multidisabler 2 times in a row, until i find a better solution to this.

I did this with my S10e and S10 without a hitch. They were SM-G970F and SM-G973F. Now I have an S20, SM-G9810. I flashed Hong Kong firmware (CRC TGY), Android 11, G9810ZHS3DUL3 (because I am trying to use microG in place of play store, which I was able to do on both the previous S10 models).

This is not working. After I flash the magisk patched AP (with CP and CSC and BL), reboot to download, then TWRP (x1s) in AP and vbmeta_disabled in CP successfully, but when I hold Vol + and Bixby, this is the error I receive:

RPMB fuse Set
RPMB PROVISIONED
CURRENT BINARY: Custom (0x30F)
FRP LOCK : OFF
OEM LOCK : ON (U)
KG STATUS : CHECKING
WARRANTY VOID " 0x1 (0xE03)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT : ENABLE
RP SWREV : B3(1,1,1,3,1,1) K3 S3
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
SPU(VALID):5
HDM STATUS : NONE
DID : 200412620E856811

I have USB debugging enabled. I have root access. But, I cannot use Odin to flash TWRP. I tried adb sideload also, even after granting ADB root permission in the magisk manager (but I don't know if that includes recovery ADB sideload). The recovery was the stock recovery as I cannot flash TWRP.

SM-G9810 is snapdragon, doesn't show up in supported devices either, so why did you even try this?

    Mine didn't work with an S20 and TWRP 3.7.0 either. Finally figured out it was from using the wrong version of vbmeta.tar. I used the one called vbmeta_disabled from this thread instead: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...root-s20-series-and-upgrade-firmware.4079353/
    After that everything worked fine.
