Rooting
Download and install vroot from http://goo.gl/sFnoCX
This will install a Chinese root
To replace it with supersu, go to :- http://goo.gl/r9uENy
Now the bootloader
Now go to %userprofile%\.android and add the line 0x03F0 to adb_usb.ini
Download the driver.exe file and open it
Extract it somewhere
(If you are using x64 bit version then please disable driver signature enforcement)
Right click android_apxusb.ini and select install
Similarly do so with android_winusb.ini
If you get a warning for unsigned driver, just accept the warning
Now download code.txt
Enter the commands ...................... you will not lose any data
But you must be asking :- how do I get to the bootloader? well adb reboot-bootloader does not work so use a program like rom toolbox pro which can get you to the bootloader when in the bootloader you will see powered by android and nothing else you don't even need to confirm the unlock.
Note :- I am not responsible for whatever you do to your phone/tablet or any loss of data.
Hope this helps!
Reserved
The bootloader does not unlock, it just gives an unlock successful message.
It is safe to install xposed on this phone

Hi!
When I try to unlock the bootloader here is what I come up against: it says long press up volume to unlock the bootloader. I long press and the phone simply reboots, and starts back up. I am at my wits end!
Procedure for Android 10Q
1 - In the download mode, I need the VolUp button to unlock the Bootloader.
I have a Samsung A10s (A107M) If anyone can help I would be grateful!
Thanks!
My exact issue.
I have attempted both unlocking methods (with commands and through the phone itself), without any success.
Quite disappointing, I will probably quit once and for all.

Thanks for the great how-to. I'm looking at buying an A30s, but rooting and retaining encryption on the data partition is key for me. I gather that step 6 above will format the data partition, leaving it unencrypted (which is why you get more than the 16 gb if you wipe it - correct?) Will this method allow me to re-encrypt the phone after rooting?
Also, would you mind clarifying about losing root if not using Magisk to reboot - does that include powering off as well?

Yes, if you wipe data from recovery mode it will give you your phone's storage. You will lose warranty, Samsung pay, knox, secure folder, etc.. you can't get it back also if you unroot the device or re-flash the frimware. And power off will also unroot the device. For that you can reset the phone from Settings it will not format your phone. And rooting the phone or using custom frimware will give you less security so high changes of hacking.
Thanks! I ended up getting an A7 instead of A30s, but it's good to know. I try to only buy rootable phones, and I know that some phones can be rooted and still encrypted, like the S7, hence the question.

I recently got my 9 Pro and since i'm used to samsung and the crappy knox, i was wondering if i root/install custom roms and i want to reflash the stock rom and relock the bootloader, will i be locked out of certain stuff or does the system still see that the phone was once running unofficial software like samsung does with knox?
No, you shouldn't be locked out of anything going back to stock...
Here's a good read & guide explaining the many update options:

Magisk root method is a very advanced and safest method. And the best part of this method is that you will receive the OTA update, and you will be able to use banking apps without any problems.
First of all, download the latest Magisk Zip file on your phone.
Then rename the downloaded Magisk apk file extension .apk to .zip.
Move the Magisk zip file to your phone’s internal storage.
And make sure you have a Custom Recovery installed on your phone.
Now Boot your OnePlus 9 Pro to TWRP Recovery Mode by pressing Volume Up + Power Button at the same time until open TWRP mode.
Tap on Install from the TWRP Recovery page.
Now locate Magisk.Zip file from your internal storage and select it.
After Tap on Swipe to Confirm Flash.
Then Reboot your phone.
Once your phone boots up, install Magisk Manager APK.
You have Successfully Rooted you OnePlus 9 Pro device.

Well i have experience with root, i've done it for years now that's how i jnow about that knox sh*te ... Currently i'm not rooting because of widevine, since i haven't gotten any luck keeping it L1 after unlocking the bootloader
Code:
Your warranty is now void.
If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped.
You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards although it is not really possible
Please do some research if you have any concerns about doing this to your device
How to flash official firmware? (not the root and unlock bootloader part!)
You will need:
A Galaxy Z Fold 3 and common sense
Samsung Odin (the flashing tool of the official firmware)
https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.1.zip
You need to extract the zip file and you are going to use the file Odin3_v3.14.1.exe inside the folder.
Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows
Samsung Android USB Driver | Samsung Developers
You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.
developer.samsung.com
Double-click and install the exe file.
Samsung Official Firmware
Release 1.0.3 · zacharee/SamloaderKotlin

How to find the Region: You can check the Region at this link https://samfrew.com/model/SM-F926B/
You need to find find a three-letter word depending on your carrier and country and type it in Bifrost, for example, EVR
Press the Check for Update button and download it with the Download button.
Put it to a place you can easily find, ie. Desktop.
After downloading it, find the file SM-xxxxx_x_xxxxxxxx_xxx.zip.enc4 on the place you put it and change the document format from .enc4 to .zip. Then, double click and extract the file.
Open Odin3_v3.14.1.exe and turn off your phone. Connect a side of your USB to your PC/Laptop, keep pressing volume up and down together until you go to Download Mode. Put another side of the USB into your phone. When you arrived at Download Mode press volume up. Go back to Odin3_v3.14.1.exe:
-Click on BL and select BL_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
-Click on AP and select AP_xxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
-Click on CP and select CP_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
(If you want to keep your data don't flash CSC).
-Click on CSC and select CSC_OMC_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
-Click on USERDATA and select HOME_CSC_OMC_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
Press Start to flash the firmware, after done, your device will automatically reboot to the system.
How to unlock the bootloader?

Open Magisk on your phone and press the install button in the Magisk column. Select 'Select and Patch a File', 'Let's Go' and find the AP_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 and select it. You can have a cup of coffee if you like when you waiting for the patching of the file.

(If you want to keep your data don't flash CSC).
-Click on CSC and select CSC_OMC_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
-Click on USERDATA and select HOME_CSC_OMC_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
When it finishes flashing it, it will automatically reboot and you can gain root access.
Optional: If you want to have the safety net passed (most of the banking apps use it), then you need to install the zip
as a Magisk module in Magisk https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases
How? Go to Magisk → Modules → install from storage and select the zip you downloaded.
How to update without losing root and data
Open Odin and put the new magisk_patched file in the AP slot, the BL and CP from your new firmware into their respective slots and importantly *HOME_CSC* into the CSC slot.
Press start and let Odin do its stuff.
When flashed, do not wipe.
Press and hold Vol-down and Power
As soon as the screen appears, let go of all buttons.
Within moments, the phone with updates, data and magisk rooted will present in front of you. Hurray!

Just rooted my new GZF3 SM926B/DS with this method and got to the exact same thing (but using magisk 24.1).
Re-flashed and the same thing again but it was easily fixed.
One more part should be added to the guide.
After you flash the last time with the patched AP-file and get a boot loop to recovery, do a factory reset from (stock) recovery, phone restarts and you have to set it up but magisk is there and you're rooted!
Just go to apps, try to open magisk which will tell you that you need to upgrade to full version, accept, open magisk and accept the "additional part" -> phone reboot one last time and DONE!
You now have a fully functioning and rooted GZF3
