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 S21+ G9960, G996U, G996U1 and G996W.

US/Canada bootloader unlock thread:

Download & Guide:
1. Unlock your bootloader.
2. Download S21+: t2q.
3. Reboot to download mode
4. Put the TWRP TAR for your device with Odin in the AP slot, vbmeta_disabled_R.tar in USERDATA slot and click start.
5. Reboot to recovery via recovery key combo (Vol up + power + USB connected).
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.​

I am not getting OEM unlock option in Samsung s21+ 5G (SM-G996W) Device Settings. If anyone can help, please suggest a way. It's Qualcomm based device. [Attached Device SS for reference]

Query: - 1. Is there a way to Root the device without OEM unlocking option on in settings? [Unable to unlock the bootloader]
2. How to get tokens for the unable bootloader in Samsung device. [Please provide any link or contact number to get paid token]

    Can Ice Bear flash this on the US variant?
    You need to unlock bootloader first
