The first requirement for me in a phone is that it's rooted. Do you guys think it will be rooted?
No.
Lol
Not anytime soon, especially if you have a Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T variant.
Got it, thanks. What a shame. Another Samsung user may have to jump ship I guess. Verizon is my only option where I live. I dream of a note 5 or 6 with an unlocked bootloader at night haha

Good. That means I better stick with T-Mobile. Was thinking about switching, but T-Mobile usually has root faster than most others.
Anyone with an opinion about future root of Android 6.0 on SnapDragon vs Exynos.
Do we know if Chainfire are working on some stuff for Marshmallow?
I dont care if I breached Knox, if I could enjoy root on a S7 international.

Apple will capitulate to the FBI before SEC does this.
Wishful thinking but I'm not holding my breath on this one.
ROOT
I have a sneaky suspicion that the Verizon S7 & S7 Edge will end up just like the
ATT Note 5 and S6 Edge/Edge+ phones and will NEVER have root. LOL
I would strongly advice & suggest NOT to get rid of your current rooted phones at least not yet!!!
(unless you buy a different brand which can be rooted)
Have a great day!

And let's not forget the S6 active.
The bounty for root on that was up to $1k last I checked

Samsung is just giving their customers what they want. The carriers are their customers, not us.

Right. The s6a bounty was insane.

Does this help for boot root?

The at&t version i got has a locked bootloader so no root. Im so used to rooting all my android phones for various reasons. I know the s6 active has root. Should I just return the s7 and get an s6 active?
I returned my S7 Edge two days ago and reactivated my beautifully rooted S5. No regrets. I'll pickup the S7 again if it gets root (unless I have another new rooted phone by then).
Return the att s7 and take a road trip to canada and buy the exynos version up there.

Read the specs. Exynos models don't have CDMA capabilities. They will NOT work with Verizon or Sprint.

Ok so you have no evidence except looking up on a website, which by the way the websites say the same about N9600 but yet I have it working on Verizon.
So, it's clear you know nothing.

Your N9600 works because it has a Snapdragon 845.
The Exynos versions will absolutely NOT get service with Verizon.
My "evidence" is owning numerous Exynos devices which all work fine on TMO but will not get service on Verizon. No firmware, rom, etc. will make it magically work. It's not compatible with their network.

It seems that the solution for Exynos phones and thereby easier rooted phones, would to be to switch to T-Mobile to avoid the hassle. Did you have any trouble getting it to work on T-Mobile, and any bugs?

Yes no problems with TMO on any Exynos. LTE band 71 is absent but TBH I haven't noticed any issues.
Just purchased the black note 10+ unlocked and also took the galaxy watch while I was at it. I added the Verizon sim to save me a trip to the store.
My two questions are:
Since I selected trade in on my Verizon note 8, will they take it if it's not unlocked?
Will this unlocked note 10+ allow me to flash custom ROMs and root if they are found?
1. I think they'll take the trade-in as long as the phone is paid off and in good condition
2. Only Note 10s with Exynos will have guaranteed access to root and custom ROMs. If i'm not mistaken, starting with the S9 series of snapdragon phones, root became pretty much impossible. IF root happens, it's going to be a very VERY long time (IF ever, that is).

My bad, I meant "Note 10's", as in plural, since there's the 10 and the 10+. So I was referring to those phones.

Where do you get the international Exynos version of the Note 10?
Ended up canceling my pre order through Sammy. I really want to have a exynos again for custom potential.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
With trade ins, it shouldn't matter what carrier or if it's carrier unlocked as long as it's in good condition.
As for potential for root and unlocked bootloaders, the chances are slim to none with any US Snapdragon model. Add to that, having Verizon makes it more difficult as the Exynos models are not compatible. If you want a phone with unlockable bootloader for use on Verizon, your options are the Pixels direct from Google, OnePlus 7 Pro, or buying a Latin American Note 9 or Note 10 that allows bootloader unlocking.

Ahhh, as far as I know for pre-ordering, you'd have to do that through either an overseas carrier or one of Samsung's overseas websites (like UK or something). Even then, don't know if any of em will ship to the US. They likely won't.
If you wait til release day or after, Amazon should sell them then. You can finally find the exynos variants on Amazon under "international version" if I'm not mistaken.

Does T mobile use LTE band 71? I'm not sure if the international ones have band 71. I Could be wrong.

Yes. Tmobile uses: 2, 4, 5, 12, 46, 66, 71, and LTE U. I guess they'll acquire Sprint frequencies eventually.

Youo can either buy it on EBAY - several good sellers offer it there - or you can go the CLOVE UK web site and get it from them. I have purchased all of my last four phnoes from CLOVE - they have decent prices and great customer service. Fast shipping too considering they are in the UK.If you buy the phone from them and pay 20 bucks for 3 day shipping - they will ship the phone on the 23rd and you should hve it by Monday or Tuesday.
Which ever you choose, good luck!
The Exynos does not support all the LTE bands used in the United States, including band 13 which is a requirement for Verizon.
As for the Latin American Note 10+, it's too soon to know if there will be any differences. The Latin American Note 9 (N9600) took a few months after release for people to figure out how to get everything working on Verizon. Out of the box it didn't work with VOLTE, but after a complex series of firmware flashes and tweaks, it can work. For many, the uncertainty of buying an international phone with no warranty and not knowing what challenges they will face is limiting. Check out the Note 9 forum on how to convert an N9600 to Verizon and see if it looks feasible. The Latin American variants will likely be the N9700 (Note 10) and N9750 (Note 10+) if Samsung sticks to their model number structure.

If you absolutely need to be able to root it, I'd buy something else. I don't think it is likely that the Snapdragon models will be rooted.

Ah, thanks. That said, I feel like rooting your phone meant more a few years back. When CyanogenMod was around and even Magisk (?) modules, I think that was the name. With the Note 8 and 9 I didn't really see an advantage of it, but that is just one man's opinion.

Correct. No root for US Snapdragon variants. There probably never will be either. If you need root/bootloader unlock go buy yourself an unlocked Pixel or OnePlus device. Stay far far away from any Verizon branded devices. They even lock down the Pixels and OnePlus

Im still trying to figure out in 2020 why people need to ask if a north american samsung device let alone a verizon device can be rooted.
Imagine if there was a search button or something like that people could use here to look for these commonly asked questions lol .
Sorry couldn't help it guys lol:angel:
His choice is clear, either exynos like Brava has or a HK or Korean snapdragon...if he wants root.
If he wants roms, kernels etc then definitely go exynos.
5g working is another story entirely but something to consider if it matters to the user.

Well Yes apparently from what this article says:
https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-root-us-unlocked-snapdragon-865/
I was going to buy the Note 20 Ultra Exynos to be able to have call recording by changing the CSC to thailand ... but if I can have the snapdragon would be much better... Can anyone that has used that share their experience with this service? I would pay $150 to have the call recording. Even if don't want the LIMITATIONS of rooting but would prefer to have the better Battery life of the snapdragon... This seems like the only way to get call recording on a snapdragon phone... Can someone help with more info on this?
