well, but I'm confused. that recovery and vbmeta... do I flash them seperately (with auto reboot ticked off) or do I make 1 tar file from them?

and I also don't understand "wipe your data if you're encrypted". I don't mind wiping data. or will it fail if I do wipe it while I'm not encrypted? Am I encrypted? :p sorry for the noob questions but I have flashed the stock ROM for 10 times before I got the root and TWRP to work :p now it's rooted and I have booted in TWRP but I can't seem to boot in it anymore. If I'm correct I have to flash the TWRP tar (and VBMETA in CL?) each time I want to go in recovery?
i have been flashing firmwares and custom recoveries & roms for 10 year or longer, every time when i find a rom i like i stick to it until i get another phone and then.. -> what you said happens to me also :) i need to read everything 3x and still i forget things or don't get what i have to do or simply do things wrong lol -> Good thing samsung phones can take a lot.
ohja, van waasmunster ofwa ? lol, i used to live in dendermonde, i am happy to see there is at least 1 more person in Belgium who enjoys XDA

Please use the newest one in the 1st post. This has already been reported and with the new version attached it works for me. had similar problem. With me it disappeared only immediately.

I have not yet been able to determine this myself and have already called 2 times in both cases I was called.

Hey, could I receive advice as to how we are supposed to flash VBMETA + T.W.R.P. using the USERDATA section in Odin? I had created a .tar file including both of the above, and yet every time I flash the file, the outcome is Odin either freezes or the progress bar stays in a frozen position after moving by but a few millimeters, I had initially installed a patched Magisk AP File, then proceeded to flash T.W.R.P. by itself using Odin. Although T.W.R.P. had successfully installed the Magisk Patch is not Official Samsung Software, causing the flashing of the installation via T.W.R.P. to inform me that I must download the latest Stock Firmware in order to ensure a successful installation. Any Suggestions that might Solve this issue?

i was having same problems when adding this combined file (twrp + patched vbmeta) to the 'Userdata' in odin. The phone would get stuck and rebooting it would bring me back to the download page. when that happened i could restart odin, reconnect the phone with the USB and flashed the TWRP in AP and the VBmeta in CP and rebooted straight into TWRP
quote from the TWRP topic :
Open Odin v3.14.1 and place the downloaded TWRP .tar file in AP tab, downloaded vbmeta .tar file in CP tab and click Start - once you press start grab the phone and press vol up + power to force it boot straight in TWRP after flashing

I got this s20 now for a couple of weeks, bought it second hand from the internet but when coming from the s10e this sure feels and works like a new phone in 2023 :) But this phone started in Russian after a factory reset always and after setup i also get some russian words and Yandex search and other Russian search engines keep showing up as an option in my search bar.
So i first flashed official firmware from my country in Odin (not with Home CSC) but that didn't change anything and now i am running a custom rom since last week but still the info shows SER and when i put the phone in download mode i also noticed it still shows SER.
Does that mean the phone is locked to this region or can it be changed ?

Hello, can we use 120hz, 8k video recording, 30x zoom, 64mp camera with Telephoto lens in BeyondROM? How about gaming performance and warming up? I am an S20 Exynos user. How is the ram usage and battery usage compared to the original stock rom? I'm looking for a good rom for the S20, with less heat problems and low ram and battery usage. BeyondROM users, can you help?

I guess nobody tested this. Theoretically, the device should boot but you won't be able anymore to use twrp until you wipe your data and prevent the re-encryption at boot.
About two years ago I tested getting BeyondROM to work with encrypted /data, as I think it's pretty careless to keep /data unencrypted (you lose your phone and anyone with technical knowledge can read your data). I never got it to work, and I completely agree that the lack of support of encrypted internal storage should be mentioned in post 1.

Unless this has changed in the meantime :)

Update: It's not possible. BeyondROM-Installer is checking the "compatibility". If GWA7-ROM isn't installed you can't proceed. After three attempts I was able to download the required firmware via "samfw.com".

---

I can't find the official "GWA7" FW I need while using Frija or SamFirm tool. Also when I choose "Manual" and entering G980FXXSFGWA7/G980FOXMFGVL5/G980FXXUFGVL5 I'm evertime ending at the latest available firmware "HWAK" . Can I use this latest firmware instead?

Update: I think I found the correct way to boot into TWRP after flashing this ROM. Maybe this step was unnecessary but while searching this forum I found a post from "serajr" (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...es-and-upgrade-firmware.4079353/post-86456749) and installed his disabler-ZIP after I flashed the ROM with TWRP.

  1. Shut down your phone
  2. Press and hold Vol.-Up & Vol.-Down button
  3. Connect your USB-C cable to your phone (it is connected to my laptop)
  4. Release both buttons after entering the download-mode
  5. Attention: Press Vol.-Down button to reboot your phone and directly Press and hold Vol.-Up & Power button until you entered TWRP

---

Is it normal that i can't boot into TWRP after installing this rom? How exactly would the procedure for the S20 to boot into recovery? Maybe I forgot something to install after installing the ROM? It's the first custom Rom I'm using on this S20. TWRP I downloaded from the official website.

    Official TWRP thread for S20 Series



    Installation procedure

    IS MANDATORY TO BE ON A13 HWB1/HWCG FW BEFORE FLASHING BR 63!!!

    Dirty flash of BR 6.2 over any Android 12 will brick your device !!!

    0) Backup ALL your important files to PC, ext drives, etc

    1) Download and copy the latest BR ROM zip into your external storage or USB stick if you're on stock fw encrypted

    2) Download HWD4 stock FW for your phone model using Frija or Samfw and unpack it on your PC

    3) Boot in download mode (Vol Up + Vol Down + plug the USB cable connected already to PC) and load up Odin on PC
    Don't use USB adapters otherwise you might get issues flashing FW in Odin
    Turn off Auto Reboot in Odin

    4) Select files BL, AP, CP & HOME_CSC (keep data)
    **do not start flash yet

    5) Download latest compatible TWRP for your specific device from the official TWRP xda thread (link above), rename it to recovery.img. Download the patched vbmeta.img file from below. Using 7Zip app add the 2 files (recovery.img and vbmeta.img) into a .tar file.

    6) Add the above twrp + vbmeta patched.tar file into the USERDATA slot in Odin

    7) Uncheck the auto reboot option in Odin and start the flashing

    8) When flashing completes (keep usb plugged in !!!), hold Vol Down + Power buttons and then as soon as the screen goes black hold Vol Up + Power buttons to boot to recovery
    *be warned first time you boot into recovery it will initialize and then reboot so just keep the buttons Vol Up + Power buttons pressed longer
    **if you boot in stock FW, your data will be encrypted and you'll need to wipe your data before flashing BR 3.x

    9) When boot in TWRP, wipe your data if you're encrypted, flash BR 5.x zip and then reboot to system

    10) After the first boot, install Magisk Manager if necessary; when you'll start Magisk Manager for the first time, reply with YES (agree to reboot) after MM have setup your root environment
    *after reboot, go to Magisk Manager settings and toggle On Zygisk

    10) Enjoy....


    1. Backup to PC all your important files: documents, pictures, contacts, SMS, etc. BEFORE starting to flash anything
    2. If you have issues booting the ROM, try the clean flash
    3. To boot into TWRP you need to use a USB cable connected to PC (same for DL mode) or a USB stick
    4. If you like my work, consider buying me a coffee (PayPal link)
