Qualcomm processor? No. Not yet and no estimate either. There's plenty of complaining about it though so I'm frankly surprised you had to start a thread about it.
There is actually a bounty out now on getting the bootloader unlocked now. Some are pledging money just for persistent root. Go to the T-mobile S7 edge forums to find it. I'm using the XDA app on my phone otherwise I'd link it.

Can someone please give me the step by step on how to unlock my version of the GS3. It is Android version 4.4.2. Model SCH-I535. Kernal version 3.4.0. Hardware version I535.10. I have read some places about downloading ODIN and some other things, but do I download to my phone or to my computer.

If you mean unlock the bootloader, you can't now that you are on 4.4.2.

Am I able to do it with the Samsung Tab S 10.5 Verizon? I bought it from Verizon Dec. 2014. I am now using it on the T-Mobil network

I'm nearly sure that tablet is locked down also but you may want to look in the correct forum for that device as this is for the VZW S3

XDA, would it be possible to look into rooting a Samsung Note Edge (SM-N915A) with Marshmallow 6.0.1. I've tried different things, but there doesn't seem to be a process for this phone with that OS.
2nded!
Is there a way to root the 915T already updated to 6.0.1 dpj2 (October update)?
Root SM-N915A? Please?
I have discovered that the bootloader on my SM-N915A (ATT) Note Edge is locked up tight. I am very eager to root this phone, as I have had it since release and I have yet to use it to its full potential. Perhaps a bounty (like Verizon's Note Edge)? Is anyone interested in cracking open this bootloader?

Has anyone successfully able to get the beta for Android 8.0 on unlock firmware?
yes ! hurry!!!!
i signed up at 355pm PST. with unlocked ATT s8+ plus (i bought the unlock code on ebay). i bought the att s8+ from samsung dot com, i dont know how to get the code from them, so i bought it on ebay.
UPDATE: try some online unlock service (instead of ebay). some give you the unlock code instantly.

you CANT use att unlocked s8+ on verizon, it only works on GSM carriers. if you want to use verizon, sell the att s8+ and get Verizon s8+
i have unlocked att s8+ when i put in Xfinity mobile simcard which uses verizon towers. my unlocked att s8+ got no signal.
Oreo is out for at&t users anyway, look in the guides section. Apply update from SD. Easy and smooth.

How to upgrade AT&T S8 G950U AQEF to Oreo?
I have ATT s8 g950u device which have AQEF(may17) fw. I have some questions that do i have to install every fw one by one by odin (i couldnt find all the fw) . Or do i have to skip all the fw and directly install CBR9(march18) by odin?
Plz answer me.
I recently received my j3 Luna pro from Walmart and checked the specs, of which seem to be the exynos.
is there a legit free way to get this unlocked so I can use it on tmobile, and if there isn't can I flash the j327t or j327u firmware onto it?
any help would be appreciated!!

Look at the Build number, specifically at the letter after J327(?) which would identify what state your device is in. The t stands for T-Mobile (GSM a global phone) the U and the W are I believe from Canada and are carrier unlocked. You should be able to call 1-800-T-mobile and they may unlock it if you will use their network.
Ok so I have a U.S. Galaxy S8 SM-G950U (Sprint)
Android Version: 8.0.0 (downgraded from 9.0) Android Security Patch Level: July 1, 2018 Baseband Version: G950USQS5CRF5 Build Number: R16NW.G950USQS5CRF5
This model doesn't have an unlocked bootloader and after doing a couple of days research on the net, it seems impossible that it can be unlocked because it's Snapdragon.
I really want to root this phone with TWRP recovery and SU Superuser or just another variant that allows me to install SU Superuser.
I've seen reports on XDA Dev that it's been figured out for S8+ but for S8 it seems the OEM unlock is still needed.
Can ANYONE help? Is there any way of rooting this model at all? A link to a step by step guide would be great or any advice/info you can give.
Thank you!
Don't know if you have moved on, found out the answer or are still interested in an answer. I'm not anyone with much of any knowledge about these types of things but I have an s8 and had it rooted. So the short answer is YES IT IS POSSIBLE. Good luck with your endevours
Is your S8 snapdragon? If so what version are you on? Im on Android 9 Pie with snapdragon. I would love to be able to root
I got the same issue, samsung s8 Sm-G950U unlocked from Sprint i got no idea on how to root it first and then unlock it for any carrier. OEM unlock is not active on Sprint devices and i think this is the key to successfully get the phone rooted. Any suggestion would be appreciated for that specific type of phone and carrier/ Thanks
