Thank you for letting me know! Just sold my exynos for $840 locally because i couldn't get the oem unlock to be recognized when try to root, bought it for $1050 so lost a few. Got a us model and rooted it up with working twrp! Super happy about this!
I think paying devs(if they ask) for stuff here on xda is the way to go because donations are always hit and miss, thats why i think (im my opinio) Phil got so fed up lol
There is no difference other than the processor. It doesn't affect root differently. The only reason to decide on Snapdragon or Exynos is based on the processor performance. Check out some YouTube videos like this one:


You can also pay $125-$135 to have the bootloader unlocked on the U.S. Snapdragon variant if you live in the U.S. and that is worth it to you. It generally takes a few days to around a week to get the bootloader unlocked that way.

Thanks for posting this! I recently got a Note20 Ultra N9860, hope I can save this thread for future use to flash custom ROMs...

    USA stuff

    I personally own the SM-N9860 device. I successfully converted the csc region to USA (tmobile) by doing the following.

    1. Created a .tar of super.img from TH3 SM-N986U1 firmware (AP)
    2. Created a .tar of prism.img.lz4, optics.img.lz4, cache.img.lz4, omr.img.lz4 from TH3 SM-N986U1 firmware (CSC)
    3. Flash with odin, super.tar in the AP slot, and the CSC.tar in the CSC slot.
    4. Boot into stock recovery and perform a factory reset

    You will also need to edit mps_code.dat inside /efs/imei to reflect the carrier you desire. This needs to be done from a rooted system or from TWRP. After doing this and rebooting, you will be booted into your carriers system.

    Any root benefits for either one?
