My S10 has been flashed with an unauthorized software and is locked

Your very welcome , same to you!

Hey, I joined AC bc I'm having this issue as well (boot lop). I have been following the directions you've provided here to fix the situation. I did everything, and got a PASS! resolution in Odin. My phone auto-restarted and the boot loop continued. I read on a separate thread after doing a flash in Odin, this can happen if you used the "HOME_CSC" file (which I did), and to boot the phone in recovery mode and to select 'wipe cache partition' , and it should boot normally afterward, but I can't get it to boot in recovery mode holding the volume up + power button several times. Is there anything else I can do, or just keep trying?

Welcome to AC!
If you can't get into recovery then factory reset by flashing with Odin again with using regular home csc and not home CSC

"regular home csc and not home csc"? There's only one home csc file that I see when I extracted the files. Or do you mean just the regular csc file?

Doing this I won't be able to save my data though correct?

Yeah regular CSC and it will factory reset and wipe data unfortunately

Just providing an update on my situation incase people are wondering...

I can't get my computer to even recognize my s22 when I plug it in order to be able to do a flash again with the other CSC file. I was having trouble to booting it in recovery mode too to 'wipe partitions clean'. I was finally able to get it to boot in recovery mode today and I did choose to 'wipe partitions clean', but the boot loop is still happening. I'm still going to try to either flash again if I get my computer to recognize my phone, or trying to do recovery mode again and this time select 'wipe data/factory reset'. At this point, just getting it back working and not having to buy a new phone is more important than saving data since i have a lot of the more important stuff backed up anyway, just not everything. I'll update again if something new happens.
