Can I unlock and root G988U1? - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hello, I'm trying to sell my Exynos s20 but idk if this G988U1 has the support for custom rom and root. As I've read, the Snapdragon can be unlocked only by paying a fee, is this true?

Would you be kind enough to send me a guide, or try to explain the process yourself?
Did you relock the bootloader?
Use RSD lite (you can easily find that instruction at XDA) and full image from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620757667
It won't be possible to relock CN version with EU firmware, so just skip this step
Then you can install Magisk manager and patch boot.img from firmware image provided above and flash modified boot.img with fastboot

Thank you, the image is 6.0 right? Now you are able to use android pay? Can you still use the 64 gb and 2 sims?
No, it is latest 7.1.1 with September patch
Yes, after proper Magisk V14 installation I can use Android Pay and yes, the phone still has 64Gb and 2 sims

The amount of people who have the same problem as me is huge, this should be made in a separate post and pinned. I, like many others, thought I had no chance of ever using android pay with the Chinese version

Kirin Kernel Source Code

Huawei has released the kernel source code for Kirin 980 and Kirin 970. I dont understand why there are no roms for this phone. https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-kernel-source-code-kirin-980-kirin-970-android-pie/
Just a thought; wouldn't one need an unlocked bootloader to install a custom recovery, and then flash a custom ROM?
Since Huawei has gone to some length to hinder owners of this device to unlock the bootloader, the developers might feel reluctance to develop for it?

z2 play from china mobile but was flashed with stock 7.1.1 and does not upgrade futher

I got a z2 play in secondhand.
This phone is from china mobile so it had zui to start off with and the previous owner has flashed 7.1.1 .
Now the phone is stuck in 7.1.1 and it does not get get updated to 9.0.
I contacted Lenovo and they say that the build number is not in the database .
I tried ADB sideload with oreo and Pie OTA zip files but does not work keep getting different error messages.

Can any custom rom be installed on the 7t HD 1907when unlocking the bootloader?

I am about to buy an unlocked OnePlus 7t hd1907 from Tmobile, but I am interested in custom roms can be installed after unlocking the bootloader.?
If it's made for your device, sure.
The roms that I find do not mention, only hot dog and I understand that it is HD1901 HD1903 HD1905 does not mention HD 1907. Could it be that it will not work?
Convert to global (in guides section using msm tool and all hotdogB ROMs will work fine: oos10/11, los18.1 (gapps or microG), omni10/11, statix10/11, evoX10/11, derp10/11, dotOS11, yaap 10/11, resurrection remix 10, havoc10/11, aosip10, Xtended10, crDroid10/11, PE+10/11, few GSIs, etc
Thank you for solving my question, you are very kind. could you share the guide to make it global please?

Twrp v1 is for oos11 to flash custom roms from internal SDcard as it can decrypt data on oos11. Twrp v2 is for already-flashed custom rom A12. There is no twrp for oos12 or custom rom A13. You can't decrypt data on A13 or oos12 with any custom recovery. You can still "adb sideload rom.zip" though.
