Still waiting, I really don't want to redo the exhausting process of formatting and restoring all my data again.

Note: steps 2-6 are important, missing any will lose your data.

1. Load all files to their respective slots in odin, pick HOME_CSC instead of CSC.
2. Uncheck auto reboot in Odin and hit start.
3. Reboot to download if possible from odin options, or using buttons combo.
4. Keep auto reboot unchecked, Flash TWRP in AP slot and vbmeta_disabled.tar in USERDATA
5. Hold volume down and power until the screen goes black then immediately switch to holding volume up and power to reboot into TWRP.
6. Disable encryption:
- Go to Advanced > Terminal, type: multidisabler.
You will see " - Finished." When it is done.
7. flash custom kernel and magisk then reboot to system (optional).

I already patch AP tar file with Magisk and flash it in Odin with rest of slots with HOME_CSC as mentioned, so step 7 is not needed am I right ?

    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 Ultra G9980, G998U, G998U1 and G998W.

    If anyone wants to get unlocked and rooted hit afaneh92 up he is awesome and he helped me get my s21 ultra snapdragon unlocked and rooted and installed TWRP which is something I really never thought would be possible because I have always knew in recent years that only the international versions of samsung phones would be able to be unlocked so hats off to everyone involved for offering their services and hardwork!
