S7 bootloader unlock petition - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Anybody interested in the bootloader and unlocking it I encourage you to sign this petition. These phones are ours to use how we see fit and the more noise we make the better our chances are. I bought this phone under the assumption that nothing had changed and for Samsung to change their policies without notice isn't acceptable for me and hopefully you as well. Thank you
Petition

doesn't bootloader locked= no custom roms? if so then what the hell samsung. No S7 for me

Do these petitions ever work?

You guys want the honest truth, majority of Motorolas sold, for example the RAZR are not to techies but to everyone. Majority of my customers don't even know what a BL is and let alone how it affects them. As much as I would like to go back to Motorola, these petitions will never have the same effect as the HTC ones a while back ago. But who knows, maybe Google will implement some changes regarding way locked BLs.

vote with your wallet
Personally, I think the best way to petition motorola is to vote with your wallet and refuse to buy their products. Moto will only change their bootloader policies and lack of timely updates is if they see their actions have a negative effect on their sales. So instead of signing a petition, buy an HTC device that is unlockable with the official HTC bootloader unlock tool or buy a Galaxy Nexus. They won't react to an online petition, but they will react if developers convince their friends to stop buying products from a company that breaks promises and is hostile to development efforts.

Not trying to be mean or discerning but that will not work either. Devs/techies and their families only makeup a small percentage of the buying field. Best option is to slam Motorola with filed complaints on the Better Business Bureau website then they will respond.

The reason I'm trying hard to get votes is that Google has little influence over Motorola and This might change something

There was a similar action with Sony Ericsson, the x10 community basically pounded the SE official site, petitioned, emailed, and generally publicly highlighted SE's failure to provide support or development. It worked, eventually, but SE(obviously now Sony) were a different proposition from Motorola as in the x10 was their first android phone and their share of the smartphone market was relatively small compared to Motorola, so they had more to lose, so to speak.

Knox is a great idea for everyone outside XDA. It supports BYOD so people can use a single device for their personal stuff while giving corporate IT the security they require for their stuff that co-exists on an employees phone. So employees don't have to carry around two separate phones and are always connected via a single voice and data connection for their business and personal communication. For non-business users, because Knox lives at the bootloader level, it prevents the wiping of a lost or stolen phone. I connect to multiple secure networks and haven't been able to root my phones for over a year so for me and those like me Knox is no big deal and most likely a benefit. I'll miss rooting to do stuff and then unrooting and still being able to keep "official" status but it is what it is.
Knox has been so well received in the B2B market LG is introducing something similar - LG Gate
http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/528187/smartphone_vendors_target_byod_enterprises/
There are tens of millions of devices that can be sold B2B and about 5M "enthusiasts" on XDA who Samsung by their behavior think are expendable. Knox is here to stay so those impacted by it should send Samsung a message and not buy their devices. A petition won't change a thing.

It would be nice if it were something you could opt into during checkout or during your purchase of the device. I see the benefits to people who aren't about roms and rooting but it seriously inconveniences those of us who are :laugh:

I posted the "happy" stuff. There's a definite f-u message to the dev community in that Samsung moved the warranty flag to Knox where it's now tamper resistant. They didn't need to do that for anything security related. So Knox or not Samsung's not exactly embracing "enthusiasts."
I'm glad people are starting a petition. It's a petition that got our bootloaders unlocked for our asus prime? Or tf700...cant remember cuz I have both but the fact is the community got it unlocked.

This is true and when I unlocked my bootloader it said my warranty was voided but when I had an issue with the internal battery they replaced even though the warranty was voided. I guess it depends on the problem in which the warranty is voided.
Hopefully Samsung can be more specific with what's voided and what's not.

I remember the argument people had with the warranty too. I'm glad that they fixed the battery because it was hardware related and not software which is why this voided warranty for unlocked devices is ridiculous.

The real alternative here is an AOSP or Developer edition Note. Samsung is trying to entrench in Enterprise, Knox is their lever. They won't be removing it.

This... The enthusiast community is a very very small segment of the population and Knox is a feature that is sold to the community at large, especially buisnesses wary of android's reputation for malware and security problems (wether true or not, it's what's out there). Get used to this, because eventually all phones will be locked down like this. Companies may lose the enthusiast segment but they gain the far larger and more profitable business market. If anyone thinks that's not an easy choice, you're kidding yourself.
LOL, I thought someone is publishing the digital signatures for a Knox bit free boot loader....

The problem is not that Knox is bad or not , the problem is that consumers don't have a choice. The sad truth is this is happening everywhere from food to computers. I agree that we should do something but I personally think it's already too late.

I doubt that very much.
They'll take one look at it and bounce it back as null and void.
I am planning to buy Note 3, I already have S4 with older rom and bootloader (canadian variant).
So I understand (somewhat) this Knox system.
If I do get Note 3, I can't install custom recovery and flash custom roms?
What would flag the Knox system, the warranty becoming void, is it installing custom recovery, or rom? What about the rooting, does that affect knox as well?

Would have bought Nexus if, 1) Samsung had been straight with its end users at the time of purchase and 2) seeing as Kitkat update to S4 will also region lock the device =(

Well I don’t agree that we cannot make a change. If you read a book like The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference , you will come to see that even though Samsung spend around 4 billion $ for marketing , the final say is in the hand of the consumers . Currently if you look around the s4 forum, the note 3 forum, and other forums around of the web you will see that people are unsatisfied with what Samsung is doing, and they are advising people away from Samsung.
For one, I know that I can directly influence 50 of my friends and I made sure to contact each and every one of them about Samsung new policies and advised them against any future purchase of a Samsung device. I also contacted some blogs explaining the issues that we have with Samsung - I have yet to hear a word from them - so even though Samsung can pay its way around the web to silence some critiques , it cannot affect the social binding , and the negative social vibe generated around its products . So let’s wait and see if Samsung will stay arrogant and fall like blackberry, nokia , palm … and any other too big for consumer company did , or whether they are going to start making some changes .

man!
I buy a samsung galaxy from the first that came out! always done with what I please! ROM metia you were pre-beta just to try!
with this, we put a barrier samsung and limits us to do what they want!
where it stayed that have Android to be free?
you say you buy a Nexus if I do not go through what we are subjected samsung .. do not you think you're thinking the wrong way? you are undergoing something you limited without any claim?
rings at David vs. Goliath, but at least you will know that there are a handful of unhappy with this new security policy, which on one hand is very good, but on the other, baaaaaaad!
we know that many end users do not even know it's a ROM, let alone answer if you have rooteado or not .. but we are the damned geeks what we like tinkering with what we buy ..
that's the point. perhaps not even make this request out of the desk, but at least we did not stay silent.
For one, the English version of the petition is rather unreadable due to poor punctuation and grammatical errors.
But the real problem is that KNOX itself isn't the problem but how Samsung has decided to inform the companies that handle the warranty repairs. Their line is simply "if there are any 0x1 flags then no warranty". The KNOX flag itself should only mean one thing: that the device was tampered with and its security compromised (important information for corporate IT departments) but it should have no bearing to hardware repairs as these are two separate things.

I think this "petition" threads should be closed and deleted on XDA ... it obviously never changed anything. I signed so many and it never helped (last one was "HTC One X S-Off petition"). I dont think Samsung nor HTC gives a **** about flasher and custom ROM users like us. They need us just for beta testing when they throw us some "leaks" (like a bone to a dog).

Hi guys,
i just wanted to know if there's a way to send a petition with a lot of signatures to samsung , against knox and warranty checker.
I see what you're trying to do but Samsung won't care

hate this kind of thing , i will just move to sell this device..android is open. They are making it close.. i will just buy a nexus device next time
and it gets worst with the region lock on unlocked devices

Possible bootloader unlock coming soon?

According to the firewater twitter account (the same one that showed off the vzw s5 bootloader unlock) there is a vulnerability in the TrustZone kernel/snapdragon 805 devices. While the s5 doesn't have an 805 it does appear to have TrustZone, which, according to beaups, once again the same person who showed off the bl unlock, there is probably a way to unlock the bl on the s5. Apparently it's similar to how the droid turbo was unlocked, and it lists other devices that use the 805 that could benefit. Although the s5 isn't listed, I'm assuming this is similar (if not the same) method he used to unlock the s5 previously. The only problem is he left off before the exploit can be completed, so people will have to work off of his research. Anyone who can understand what this means and perhaps develop something, take a look here at some documentation he released on the subject.
I looked at the PDF and I wouldn't bank on it. If the exploit is in our device I would be surprised.

I work closely with beaups, we are the authors of SunShine, the app that unlocks the droid turbo. I find it VERY hard to believe beaups told you there is a route to unlock the s5 through the Trustzone, I call bullpoop on that.
This vulnerability will never lead to an unlock on the S5, nor are we actively looking into it.

just out of curiosity what would happen if you flashed another boot loader or whatever it was that unlocked the boot loader on other phones? would it hard brick our phone? or is this something you go into your phone manually to do?

I can verify that it will hard brick the phone. At least it did when I accidentally attempted on a Galaxy S4.
Why isn't the method used to unlock the VZW S5 being released? Or was that just a faked video?

There could be a few things. Fear of a lawsuit, they may want to test it further, they may want to see if it can be used on other devices, they may want to see if anyone else can figure it out, etc. Sure they could sell unlocks on a per device basis but if big red wants to sue them, no amount of money made from selling the bootloader unlocks will pay for a court case or what verizon would want in "damages" even though we should be allowed to unlock the devices we paid for, which in turn would be a good argument for their defense in court which they might win with.

Anyway, @beaups, I'm asking you as a fellow XDA member, who has been around for a long time, to please, give us the tools we need to make our device a playground. I'd love to be able to get a custom rom on my new phone, but without a bl unlock, I can't! My old Moto G, I went so as far as paying for your wonderful SunShine tool. I'm asking you, as a fellow nerd, to give us the keys to the kingdom. If you want someone to test the unlock, I'm ready and willing. I'm not afraid of Odin. If you want to keep it private, I respect that. Just release it to those who want it, maybe in a PM.

Anyway, @beaups, I'm asking you as a fellow XDA member, who has been around for a long time, to please, give us the tools we need to make our device a playground. I'd love to be able to get a custom rom on my new phone, but without a bl unlock, I can't! My old Moto G, I went so as far as paying for your wonderful SunShine tool. I'm asking you, as a fellow nerd, to give us the keys to the kingdom. If you want someone to test the unlock, I'm ready and willing. I'm not afraid of Odin. If you want to keep it private, I respect that. Just release it to those who want it, maybe in a PM.

I do not know the persons involved, or see the video, but if they did unlock the BL damn right!! :thumbup::thumbup::beer::beer:
Goes to show there's always a way and makes me happy to know it was done. Where's that bounty $$ at??
Anyway - if it's not being released there's a reason as I'm sure it wasn't a cake walk. I for one when I make a music track after some hard work need to enjoy it a bit before I serve the dish.
Don't worry S5 fam --
Nice work beaups / crew!
