THe international model will be best for that. The Snapdragons are locked down. So no unlock and no rom support. There will be root but it will be similar to the S8 snapdragons

The specs for both models are same including CPU but 960F (Asia) support DUAL sim whereas Korea only SINGLE sim.
If I odin 960F to my Korea model phone, will it still work? or probably freeze on E.g. Settings when I click Sim 2?
How about the Samsung Pay?
If firmware 960F can work, can I use Samsung Pay in Asia? or they are some in-built mechanism E.g. Knox that will prevent this?
Same question. I have a SCV38 - Japanese KDI/AU Galaxy S9. I have only Android 9, but there are a bunch of US Snapdragon Galaxy S9 based on Android 10. Can I flash this (US firm on JP phone)? I just want to get to Android 10. I have a feeling that wont work, and I checked for the S8 - US and JP phones, altough based on QC chipset had other hardware differences...
Anyway, appreciate any advice on the matter.

As long as the specs are the same you can flash any region rom. You will just have to try it yourself and see if both sims work. Google pay shouldn't have any problems. The only problem you might have is some roms have different baseband files so you might not get network connection if it's not right for your region.

Make sure in download mode you don't have RMM prenormal if you flash Android 10 and it's prenormal you will never be able to get rid of it.

I have an unlocked snapdragon variant s10, but the only ROM I could find that supports it is https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-10-0-lineageos-17-1-beyond0qlte.4190389/
So does Exynos variant ROM work on my snapdragon?

AFAIK no. Please do not flash Exynos firmware/rom to your snapdragon device.

No. You will brick your phone if you flash an Exynos ROM to a Snapdragon phone.

Just to confirm the link you've sent me says "(SM-G780F)" but my model is "SM-G781B/DS" you're aware of that right?

The principle is always the same. I also have a G781B and have done it that way too.

I just wanted to ask if the fingerprint lock works after rooting? Since it is powered by knox and from what I've read, rooting trips knox and all its services. Please guide.

Hi, i checked those instructions and for unlocking the bootloader, it appears not to be an option for those of us with G781W (Canada version). Am I out of luck for now? Device shipped with latest firmware.

follow a guide on the process, there's a format of the data partition involved for bootloader unlock, for magisk and for internal memory encryption removal.
if you want root without TWRP follow this guide https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
if you want root AND TWRP visit the kernels recoveries and roms section, see afaneh92's TWRP thread for snap dragon.
read and read again until you've got a rough idea what you need to do. make sure you've got everything you'll need before you start.

Hey bro, idk if you will read this but i really need help with rooting an S20 FE Snapdragon. I was decided to buy an S20 Plus Snapdragon, SM-G986U, I was ready for purchasing it but just days ago I noticed in many forums here that S20 Snapdragon couldn't be rooted, only Exynos based in, so as the S20 Plus couldn't be I thought S20 FE would be the same, but reading all the replies here I think I have a hope now. I want root because I play Fortnite Mobile and root allows me to unlock 90 fps on any device. I really hope you can help me, of this depends if I purchase a new phone or not lol.
I thought u could please help me in root process of S20 FE or maybe S20 Plus if it's possible.

what country are you in ?
if you're in the US or Canada you won't be able to root now sadly. in other countries the FE with snapdragon or Exynos can both rooted
HOWEVER... if you want a 90fps refresh rate then NONE of the FE models support it, the hardware physically cannot do it. it's 60 or 120 nothing else.
Is there root for SM-G781U1/DS? It's an unlocked S20FE using Verizon.

Is there a current list of which versions can be unlocked and rooted? AT&T in the US recently added a number of international models to its whitelist.

Samsung mostly sells snapdragon flagship phones in the US and Canada, they're only locked because Samsung does what the US carriers want. but Samsung also only usually sells the snapdragon versions of it's phones in America, Canada and Asia. people think all snapdragons can't be rooted but that's not true.
if you buy a snapdragon Samsung from outside of the US or Canada you'll be be able to root it. if you buy an FE in the states you WON'T be able to unlock it, it's all about where you buy the phone.

sadly no.
Could I flash the USA unlocked S10 firmware (SM-G973U1), on my Japanese DOCOMO S10 (SC-03L).
The SC-03L is the snapdragon variant of the S10. And from what I've read (Excuse it being the S9 Forum) it might have different LTE bands. So, I was wondering if it was possible or not.
Thanks in advance!
