just want to clarify that the current V4 isn't working for Android 11? after the bootloader unlock, flashing the current V4 results in a bootloop. my N986B/DS has N986BXXU1DUC8

If you find any way to solve this, please share with me. I am also stucking at bootloop. :|
Thanks in advance
just had to reflash the stock firmware to start from scratch again. root the device with Magisk, move the AP file back on the device and patch it using Magisk, then flash the device with the patched AP file. after that, I used Dr. Ketan's recovery on his website.

Flashing TWRP V4 on Odin is a pass but the device does not go to recovery mode [this feature has now become non functional]. This on N985F

Update: To boot to TWRP: Device must be powered off. USB cable must be connected to PC.
Connect the USB cable to device, hold power button + volume up

format data in twrp and disable encryption! (Encryption disabler is in download folder!)

Hello, to preface, I don't yet have my Note 20 ultra, but it's coming in.

For clarification, does this mean the "download" folder for the flash drive of the phone? I'm assuming so.

If so, will the formatting not affect the files, including the download folder? I think at least one person ITT reported back saying they were not able to access their decryption file due to the formatting.

Multidisabler file should be in your external SD

So I got twrp installed--3.5.2. Everything is running smoothly--up until I need to restore a back up. I get this message:

"cannot restore System -- mounted read only."

I've googled up and down on how to resolve this issue, and almost all of them recommend unticking the read only option in "Mount". That problem is: that option ISN'T there for me.

Does anyone have any insight into this?

    Exynos ONLY.
    In NO way it is compatible with Snapdragon variants including but not limited to American(U/A/T/P/V), Chinese(0/8/6), Hong Kong(0), Japanese(SC-*), Canadian(W) variants.


    Special Notes:
    1. DON'T FORGET TO ENABLE "OEM UNLOCK" (located in Developers options).
    2. KNOX will be tripped once you flashed custom binaries to your phone.
    (Your warranty may be voided. However this may not affect you if your country forces Samsung to provide hardware warranty regardless of software status.)
    3. Samsung Firmware OTA (aka System Updates) will no longer work once you flashed custom binaries.
    (You can flash custom ROMs if you want to keep the OS up-to-date.)
    4. All apps that use KNOX like Samsung pay, Secure Folder and maybe more will no more work
