[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G (Snapdragon)

[afaneh92]

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

 * Your warranty is now void.
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or your getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Supported Models:
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra N9860, N986N, N986U, N986U1 and N986W.

Note:

To disable encryption manually:
You need to replace fileencryption=ice with encryptable=ice only in userdata line (maybe rest lines) in vendor/etc/fstab.qcom

Thanks for posting this! I'll more than likely be using your page once I finally get my bootloader unlocked from Sampwnd. The fact that US model bootloader unlocks need to be done with internal Samsung tools is pretty dang goofy...

You still can use fastboot to flash GSI

Backup to extsdcard work?

Yes, format to exfat for 4GB+ backup files.

 

[dron39]

I thought that N20 Ultra (by default) will format extsd to exfat. No?
