So there is all these h950 AT&T unlocked device and no one has built recovery for them....
Well, i am not sure about unlocked H950 but for now, bootloader is still closed so no custom recovery.

Well the AT&T h950 I have is unlocked and because I'm not on the US there is no boot loader.....I can't see there being two boot loader on this phone......
Unlocked = Bootloader open? Is that what you mean?

How can you tell
When I go in to service menu I see nothing about the boot loader INFO.....
It is like the g3 I had no boot loader that I can see.....
I don't know, sorry, in fact I have H955, I just replied because I never heard that any Flex 2 model has custom recovery.
unlocked meaning that it is Carrier Unlocked... (ie Any GSM SIM would work along with ATT's)
Bootloader unlock is something different...
lockscreen unlock is different..
your door lock unlock is different...
The bootloader is still securely locked away and encrypted by Mrs. ATT and Mr. LG ..

No matter where you are US or Pluto....bootloader is locked..
G3 is different device where bootloader was workedaround using bump to flash bumped imgs

Seriously, why SD810?
6p is 810

Because of his overheated reputation, the Flex 2, the first phone to have the SD810, sold quite poorly. In reality there was more phone in the past that overheated more than the Flex 2 but people stay away from a phone that seems to have a flaw.
That reputation forced LG to use a 6 core SoC in the LG G4 (that came after the LG G Flex 2 with 8 core).
If there is no dev for LG G Flex 2 is because there is few user. Even with a locked bootloader, if our phone was sold massively, someone would have found a way to unlock it as it already happened with so many phone with locked bootloader in the past.
1plus two have a reputation of overheating, Nexus 6P have a reputation of overheating.
In fact SD810 caused inderectly major profit loss for Qualcomm as it was not chosen for the alternate SoC for the Galaxy S6. Samsung sell so many phone that their own production of Exynos SoC is not enough and need another SoC to still produce their flagship. But with SD810 they lose Samsung which is a major client.

Nexus 6P and OP2 have SD810 but not the initial realese, have v.3.0 since i know and that version dont overheat...so, Qualcomm did a big mistake launch the SD810 too early...if they aprimorate more this SoC i am sure more phones will use it, unfortunnaly LG are the fist brand to use it so it's the first to suffer in market.
but now GF2 have a 80% price cut since theyr launch and i see a lot of people buy it, i dont know why LG dont unlock theyr bootloader now!
Oh yeah the so called hardware revision.
The Sony Xperia Z3+/Z4 (same model, different name) had the V2.1 (same as 1+two) and it was the worst of them all before being patched, the camera triggered an auto shutdown after few minutes. There is no V3.0
I bought the Flex 2 because of the price cut and I'm happy with that phone for the price I paid.
In fact in the end it's not really Qualcomm that is to blame but ARM as their big.LITTLE architecture is a failure. Qualcomm failed, Samsung almost failed but limited the heat with 14nm technology and other chinese branch chose 8 Cortex-A53 core (as opposed to the 4 A57 + 4 A53)
It don't change the fact that there is way less LG G Flex 2 than any LG G model.
The fact is that this phone rocks, no matter if the bootloaders are locked or unlocked. Anyone can check the benchmarks and see.
Also it sells a lot due to price cut.
Also there is no real overheating problem. Maybe because its plastic and not metal, i am not sure. Still, i cant say that i ve felt overheating nder any circumstance.
It s a shame the is no custom ROM.
This is amazing device except boring and heavy lg skin. This hardware need AOSP rom, just imagine how fluid and smooth that combo will work.
Shame on you LG, people with some cripled mediatek phones have custom roms and we are not able to flash anything.

Agree with you. I think the reason LG is acting so weird about not unlocking and going against independent development is because they want their phones to have tight security. They don't want everyone playing around with their bootloaders and Xposed etc. The reason for my belief is because last month I incidentally faced FRP lockdown. And spent a month looking for a method to unlock it but ONLY one software worked. I bought the phone in December and LG had plugged all the possible methods available even that were discovered in Jan on Samsung phones and even that loophole will be fixed as soon as they find it. Even Samsung is tightening the noose on security because they are facing harder competition when Blackberry decided to switch to android too with fort knox security. No one wants losing business. Google was already facing major embarrassment on security front and people switching to Apple. Just see how fast they are acting on plugging security holes each month with their patches. So I don't think we would see any development on LG phones atleast and even less in future.

No there is no unlocked bootloader yet... we have prepared a bounty for whoever does.

Given the fact that Samsung rolled out all the Snapdragon s7 and s7e with locked bootloaders, I have little to no hope for the note 7. What do you guys think about its chances of coming with an unlocked bootloader?

All the future samsung usa phones which are branded tmobile, at&t, sprint and verizon will have locked bootloaders
If you want a rooted samsung phone in the future you will all need to buy the international models.
Thats why I purchased the S7 EDGE G935F international model a few weeks ago. All the international samsung phones are very easily rooted and none of them have locked bootloaders.
And to top it off all the samsung international phone models come sim unlocked .
Good luck.

My main concern for it is im a huge Viper supporter, and If can't root and get Viper on that device....That device is dead to me. I'm hoping some miracle comes through and we get the Samsung device we all want AND an unlocked bootloader.

Root has been achieved for the s7 and edge on ATT and Tmobile. May want to word your answers in such a way that they dont seem like absolutes.
Also every international model of every phone comes sim unlocked. Thats why there is a category for unlocked phones.

I've seen both sides on it, some got issues and some are reporting that everything is okay. Another interesting aspect is people reporting this doesnt trip knox, while being rooted samsung pay doesnt work but when they revert knox still shows 0x0.

Crazy how there is not much talk about the Note 7 with it only about 2 weeks away. I am really mixed about getting it still since I know it is going to be locked. The only thing that is really holding me back at this point is not being able to use Viper. There are a couple of other things that would be nice to still be able to do but those aren't major. Android has come a long way and the need for a custom rom just isn't what it used to be. I really like the Note line and prefer to stay with it so I may just bit the bullet and go without root. Whether I get it at launch will also depend on the special offers they are giving out. I got the Year of Netflix and free VR with the S7 Edge before I returned it so if they have a simular offer, I will probably jump on it.

I was just thinking this same thing...i own my note 5 outright so i may just trade it in if there's a good deal...progress has been made with root on the s7's so I'm hopeful similar leaps are made...nonetheless, i have to say, my girls note 5 is bone stock unrooted and with few exceptions there's little that can't be done...for her nothing, and for me, well, I'm just finally learning to develop on Linux so i definitely want to keep SOME rootable device in my stable as well, but that's might end up meaning a second device (next nexus?) and swapping my sim around smh...it's just that usb3.0, ip68, 256gb storage and 6gb ram PLUS a true edge screen is almost too much to resist, root or not, plus there's always samsung pay while it's still 0x0...i see myself getting it, only question is when and will i also spent flagship money on a second device (OP3? nexus? Htc?- pretty much all are sd820...) until a good root method or unlocked bootloader becomes a reality....

I'm always with 2 phones, 1 is usually a nexus device, the note series have been my go to though. I'll likely get the N7 and do what I can do to it with in the confines of no super user. Nexus devices are so cheap, you can always pick up one for around $200, excluding the 6p. The devs here on XDA are top notch, so I'm always confident they'll come up with something.

Well a locked bootloader is a locked bootloader in most cases. The s7 exploit is really just a Samsung repair kernel that was leaked that's really not fit for prime time, unfortunately...
And even that is still limited in no custom recovery or roms, just stock debloat, xposed, viper/etc...

I wouldn't say can't, it can in fact happen and has. It just isn't easy. There are snapdragon devices that never got stable CM builds. Just in the case with the exynos, the odds aren't in their favor.
If I do get the Note 7, which I probably will, it will be with the knowledge that if most likely will never be unlocked. I have been running pure stock and not even rooted for a couple weeks now to see how unrooted life is. I have been rooted and running a custom rom for several years now. Like I said before, there are some cool features in custom roms but the need for them just isn't what it used to be. The only thing I am truly missing is Viper. So for me it comes down to the simple question of which is more important. What is more important, all of the new features of the new phone or the ability to use Viper.
I swore I wouldn't buy a locked phone and would move to the Nexus line but based on the rumors of the next Nexus phones, I am not thrilled with them. I just don't see anything that I would rather move to over the Note 7 based on what we know so far. That along with the fact that I am on the original Jump program so without needing to buy the phone outright, I need to pick from T-Mobiles selections.
A lot of the reasons to have root can be accomplished with apps so life without root isn't a huge deal for me anymore. I just wish there was a Viper alternative that can be used without root. Anyone know of one?
I bought a new S8+ from samsung for a good price. i know the phone is unlocked but i can't find info about root, roms and other robot stuff. here is the sku id SM-G955UZKAXAA from samsung. i will have more info once i get the phone sometime on wednesday. if anyone has any info that would be great.
If you have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 variant you won't be able to root at the moment. Only Exynos variants has root. We don't know how or when root will be possible on the Snapdragon units - if it's ever possible.

May i ask for what reason you want to root it? Almost all functions of previous root reasons are today integrated. And you will lose the precious warranty. I don't want to say rooting is useless. But there are from day to day less reasons to root.
I have unlocked S8+ coming from samsung.com and should be tomorrow, I would like root too, but with the price i paid for it, I can live with out root, Samsung had 100.00 so it 724.99, then I have my old Note 5 as trade-in so that`s another 300.00..... so heck 400.00 total off and I paid only 450.49 shipped so I can`t beat that price.

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my phone from a 2020 Moto G Power. The A53 5G is in the running to be a possible upgrade but I need to have root on my phone. I know Samsung has been anti-consumer for years now and have had locked bootloaders (RIP the days of flashing custom roms to my Galaxy S3). From my brief research, it looks like root is unfortunately not possible on the A536U - just wanted to confirm its true?
