This will sound extremely stupid but,can anyone do a video of this? im a huge noob,all i saw on youtube was S20FE but when i checked it said exynos and then other type of version like "SM XXXG" so i tough it wouldn't work on my snapdragno 865 SM G781B.

Im not trying to be rude or anything but can you provide us the room already flashed to install with odin?,it's because i tested everything and nothing works,either is magisk that gives me error image.boot or odin showing failed when i try to do this,in fact i don´t understand some words.

Its a link if you press on it.
And in the same step there is "OR"
You can skip it and do the easy part.

Go to twrp, advanced> terminal
Type multidisabler and press enter
Then format data and type yes to agree.
Thats it

Ok i reinstalled everything again because i installed a rom that soppose to have root but ended up to be logo stuck or loop.Now that i reinstalled i can't go to recovery mode i tested some combinations and the only thing i have is the blue screen that shows,up to download mode,hold to go to the unlock mode and cancel.What's the combination of S20 FE 5G 781B?,i hope this is for root haha,jeeeesus,only for changing sounds of the system haha.

I manage to go to the recovery mode but it shows the official one,the one that shows black backround and then letters in colors white,red and green,you know,the original recovery mode,it doesn't show the one that shows in the post,the one with gray and blue screen,weird,since i installed everything and didn't show any errors on odin,do you have any clues of why is that happening?.

There´s no way this is true,s20 FE UI4.1 SG781b is not rootable,trust me guys when i say i tried everything and no luck at all,TWRP fails to open even with no errors on odin,the other metods like kingroot,kingo root,iroot and so,everyting shows me that i need wifi bu i do have data to use internet but still doesn't work.

And still i can't root mine,so what is that tell you?.I didn't touched anything of normal use of it,so why TWRP doesn't work?.
after flashing twrp you must boot straight into the recovery and not the system. if the system boots and multidisabler wasn't flashed the stock recovery will be restored.
flash twrp again and start holding volume up and power straight after clicking start in Odin. leave the cable plugged in.

I did everything Mr Burns,and still didn't show it up,what do you guys mean by "flashing"?,because i only use odin as the tutorial said and nothing happen,im just stuck in that part.

I understand now,the thing was that i was pressing power + up a liiiiitle bit too slow,in fact,i notice that when you start flashing TWRP in odin you need to start pressing power + up inmediatly in order to make it work,but also you need to be fast in the menu of "the bootloader is unlocked" by pressing power and then fast hold power again + volume up,at least that worked for me.So,now that i have root,i was locked the bootloader but once you do that the error ! shows up and not letting me enter again,so i needed to start all over again,is there a way to avoid that bootloader unlocked screen and also the "you´re using an unnoficial samsung software?"

    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.

    Code:
     * 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 S20 FE 5G G7810, G781B, G781N, G781U, G781U1, G981W and G780G (4G).

    US/Canada bootloader unlock thread:
    here

    Download & Guide:
    1. Unlock your bootloader.
    2. Download S20 FE 5G: r8q.
    3. Reboot to download mode and flash vbmeta_disabled.tar in AP slot and reboot. Device will reboot to stock recovery mode prompting you to wipe data so wipe data and reboot to download mode again.
    4. Put the TWRP tar for your device with Odin in the AP slot and click start.
    5. Reboot to recovery via recovery key combo.
    6. Disable encryption:
    - Go to Advanced > Terminal, type: multidisabler.​
    If vendor complain about free space left on device, will attempt to resize vendor. and it ask to - Run multidisabler again!.​
    - Type: multidisabler again. will see - Finished. when done.​
    7. Go back to Wipe > Format Data > type yes.
    8. Reboot to recovery.
    9. Flash magisk apk in twrp.
    10. Reboot to system, Enjoy.

    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
    To avoid stock recovery restoration manually:
    Rename system/recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.p.bak

    Support:
    Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.

    Bugs:
    - Encryption not fully working.

    @afaneh92 just checking in to ask what if any sources to you want / need to help you ?
    I'm on the Samsung open source site now and downloading a zip for G781BXXU2CUD1 but I've no idea if it's kernel sources inside (280mbs ish). another page I saw here mentioned using the inquiry tab to submit a request.

    if you can tell me exactly what you want I'll more than happily put in a request for it, I'm sure others would too.

    I'll edit this later and add the zip files full name that I've downloaded and if you want that I'll put it mediafire or similar.

    SM-G781B_SEA_RR_Opensource.zip is the archive name, taken from clicking on G781BXXU2CUD1 which matches my current baseband and buildnumberView attachment 5299763
    I will start working on the new kernel source soon.

    @QRCode please consider making a thread about the exact method it required, resources needed and your experience with it.
    this sort of thing will be useful to others. particularly of interest is the features that don't work currently.
    I'll do my best still testing everything compiling my data etc
