[N20 SM-N981U/U1/W_Snapdragon]-[Upgrade Easily Firmware Using Odin]-[Automatically Root Remove Forceencrypt Patch Bluetooth And Fix Safetynet] - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Guides, News, & Discussion

Must Have An Unlocked Bootloader To Do This!
This An odin tar file I have created to flash along with stock odin firmware to automatically install TWRP recovery along with Disable VBMETA image. The tar file will also automatically install magisk root along with remove force encryption and patch bluetooth library file. It will also patch safetynet. No flashing of zips is required
