Once you download the boot.tar from the link above, start from step 10 here.

I don't see the point in upgrading at this stage.
No TWRP available for October patch.

Right but will be available soon. i will make twrp 3.2.3.0 for a20 but need to wait till samsung upload newer source of A20.

Right but will be available soon. i will try to update the kernel and dtbo in twrp with the latest one in some time.

Thanks

Quick question, doesn't bootloader and modem get flashed through their respective slots? Or do you flash the whole Firmware (5files)?

Some people like me already upgraded. I won't probably modify my phone until Samsung stops providing updates or until i get tired of it lol

@Agrim720
I guess that you took U3 update boot.img and patched it with Magisk, right?

About that, i found this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/development/one-ui-2-0-t4012447
This is still in beta but it wouĺd be worth keeping an eye on it. Don't know if it would be compatible with our phone, though.

I want to be sure I am using the correct firmware for this patch. It is for October right ?
Can anyone tell me if this is the correct firm to use for this boot.img patch ?

Or maybe this is the Oct release ?

Thank you !

Ok thank you for the info. BTW -- I just noticed that they are pushing NOV UpDate to my phone.
I just lost Root on my last update, so I might try this ... but I assume if I update to Nov then I can
NOT GO BACK to a lower version and I can not get Root ? Am I correct ??

u can get root.

 

[Thibor69]

u can get root.

Oh ? I must be confused again Would I use the boot.img from this thread we are in now ? the October Patch ? Even though it is
a November update ? and do you know if TWRP will instal also ?


So I would just allow them to push the update to my phone, then start the root process again with your boot.img via Odin. ?



Thank you for your help.
