To Root and install TWRP
WARNING: Rooting your phone may be dangerous.
Rooting a device may void the warranty on the device. It may also make the device unstable or if not done properly, may completely brick the device. XDA-Developers or the author does not take any responsibility for your device. Root at your own risk and only if you understand what you are doing!
This method should root your Samsung Galaxy A20 (A205xx) and install TWRP (all models except SM-A205U).

}
If you don't see the OEM unlock
-Disable Auto System Update
-Then disable Automatic date and time (Found in General Management) > then set the time back 14 days
-Go to software update then check for update and wait till it registers the device on server
-Once it's registered the OEM Unlock should be visible in the Developer Options
then connect phone to PC
2. Reboot into download mode by holding down both Vol up and Vol down
(You might need to long press vol up to unlock bootloader)

Jumping between ROMs
I recently discovered that there is an easy way to jump from one ROM to another.
For example if you are on S20 Port6 and you want to jump to S10+ or to Stock.
You need to have backups that include Vendor because each of these runs with a different Vendor.
This isn't needed to jump from Port 6 to a GSI and back because GSIs are usually independent of Vendor.
To restore to a previous ROM
1. Wipe both caches, data & system
2. Restore boot, data, system & vendor.
3. flash Magisk uninstaller
4. Reboot
You need to use this TWRP which includes Vendor in the backup list.

5. TWEAKS
To remove unwanted system apps
Use a root explorer to delete the apps you don't want from
/system/app
And
/system/priv-app
Reboot to recovery
Wipe caches
Reboot
Some apps might need to be deleted from app tray
You could also use file manager from TWRP but you have to go to
system/system/app
and
system/system/priv-app
For more debloating.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...debloat-final-samsung-a20-android-10-t4171307
Swapping Kernels
If you want to run your current ROM with a kernel you had on a previous ROM just restore the boot (only) from the previous ROM. If you go from Magisk 20.4 back to Magisk 19.3 flash Magisk uninstaller first.
To Hide Root
Some apps don't work if your phone is rooted
Go to Magisk hide
Tick the app that won't work in root

Spectrum in post #3

SPECTRUM
Both Minh14.7 and Eureka 3.0 have Spectrum Support but Minh 14.6 works best because Spectrum can fit GPU settings.
@minhka98 has given us a Spectrum installer.
Install, reboot.
Access the pull down menu
Tap 3 dots
Tap button order
drag the spectrum icon into the pull down menu.
Reboot
It gives you 4 kernel profiles on Hktweaks which can also be accessed from the pull down menu.

4. Gaming:

GPU CONTROL
Spectrum can control the GPU settings in Minh 14.6 but not in Eureka 3.0 or Minh 14.7.
You can change the GPU settings in Eureka 3.0 but not in Minh 14.6 or 14.7 unless you apply the GPU fix.

Great work

Sky hawk recovery now available

@physwizz Like magic, Sky Hawk Recovery falls out of the sky with no information on who built / ported it for A205 and no credit to the original developer. Themes don't save but no idea if that is peculiar to the A20 build, a fault in all Sky Hawk recoveries or who to report that to??? Don't get me going on the lack of Minh kernel source code or change logs..... Maybe this info is available on Telegram but it is not available here on this forum which is where it is meant to be.

A big thank you to all of these developers who have donated their time and energy to keep the A20 at the cutting edge as we move into Android Q

MTP not working in recovery mode

@minhka98 Is there a possibility of patching your kernel to support MTP at recovery level in the same way the previous afaneh Pie kernel was patched to achieve this? @crazo7924 Themes settings do not save in your A205 Sky Hawk recovery.

Is the MTP at recovery level due to the kernel inside recovery?

@physwizz If you go back to when it was fixed for Pie TWRP, it was the afaneh kernel that fixed it, not TWRP. You can still see what he did in his github but unfortunately, we cannot see anything of the minh Q kernel alterations as the link provided just shows the original cloning of afaneh's project.....

I thought the 2 kernels operated at different times.
The os kernel is running at os level and the recovery kernel operates at recovery level.

@physwizz Could be right???? So who made the Q version of TWRP and what kernel does that use?

Why do you need it at recovery level?

@physwizz I have some GPS mapping files that are locked while at O.S level so I can't copy these unless in recovery. I do this on a regular basis to transfer these files across to other devices so it is much easier not to have to go through an intermediate process of copying to USB OTG or SDCard.

Well, you are right, I did download it but I'm scared to try, I think once I unlock the bootloader,
1. I'll not be able to re-lock it
2. I only have a raspberry Pi 3B+ and hence can't use Odin to restore of something goes wrong
3. I can't run the banking apps anymore due to Knox trip status
4. And if Knox trips, going to stock fully is going to be impossible, and Knox features will be unusable
And to top these all off, it's the new phone of my parents, they had a moto they previously lost, if their apps don't work after I do something, I'll be screwed over... :/

I have the Galaxy M127F / DS and I have problems installing a custom recovery, I have tried many but cannot finish successfully. I have root and it was as far as I could go, I miss my A20, by the way the binary is 2.
When I install any of the recovery that you uploaded, it sends me the statement "Recovery: No footer detected. (0)
Recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6) "
I don't know why this is, I hope you can help me, please.

I have the Galaxy M127F / DS and I have problems installing a custom recovery, I have tried many but cannot finish successfully. I have root and it was as far as I could go, I miss my A20, by the way the binary is 2.
When I install any of the recovery that you uploaded, it sends me the statement "Recovery: No footer detected. (0)
Recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6) "
I don't know why this is, I hope you can help me, please.
