OTA Update now available! - Update: Instructions to block if desired

I looked at the new OTA update...
It has some new stuff that I am fairly confident was put in place to avert the bootloader unlocking...
Here is the OTA: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31360541/S4/2400258.zip
Here is its contents:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will notice it has a new aboot and a new tz.
They are either unlocking the bootloader or locking it down more...
Do not apply this OTA until one of the 'Elites' talks more about it!
Here are my instructions to block it...
Prerequisites
Must be rooted!
Must have a root level file manager. I prefer ES File Explorer
Instuctions
Start root explorer app
Mount /system as read/write
Navigate to /system/app/
Rename wssyncmldm.apk -> wssyncmldm.apk.bak
Reboot

Thanks for your work, hope to see a cleanrom for this someday.

Thank you!!!! I have been telling everyone to not update without someone looking this thing over, preferably Dan. Also unless AT&T suddenly decided to change how it does business in one OTA (which would be never...) then it's definitely a response to Dan's bootloader unlock.

Ahhh we can't go back can we /: fml

how do we get rid of the annoying notification icon on the top left the red and blue update one already deleted the update file

aboot appears identical in function to original, I foresee no problem flashing this (but I do not know the details of dan's unlock). More than likely, since we know a couple variants of the bootloaderse are around, it is just bringing everyone inline to the exact same firmware.

Absolutely no way to root or downgrade 183.46.15.xt926 ?

Hey XDA,
I would really love to flash lolipop custom rom on my phone but it seems that root or downgrading is impossible atm.. The only viable option i see atm is if i do a factory reset but even then im still not sure if it will downgrade...
Any hope here XDA?

Factory reset won't downgrade. If your boot loader is locked, you can't downgrade.

Check out stevotdo's link. Have to do both because he made a rooted kernel image for us. Can't flash anything until the bootloader is unlocked.
He lays it out in a very easy and manageable way. The thing that takes the longest is emailing Huawei and getting the phones unlock code.
It took about 4-5 hours for them to reply to mine. Seems some people are not getting replies. My recommendation is to send an email late in the day. Check the time difference between where you are and China. If you send it when they are in the office you'll most likely get a response like I did.
I titled mine "REQUEST: Y536A1 Bootloader Unlock Code"

Can't seem to install xposed framework on this phone even with root. I verified root was working properly with root checker but I still get the message "The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install framework and reboot?" I gave it root permission, installed/reinstalled, and rebooted several times and still get that error message.

I would advise against removing AT&T address book. When I removed it, my "Contacts" would still try to open AT&T address book and wont finish loading. Titanium backup had trouble restoring it and I had to do a factory reset. It would be helpful to have a list of bloatware apps that are safe to remove but I use this device as my main phone and I can't risk testing every app and breaking it.

If you all want a real good program for lock screen notifications I recommend an NiLS. After you install it make sure it's checked in accessibility then go into program manager and make sure it has access to drop zone

Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

My understanding, not as a programmer by any means...is that the phone needs to have an unlocked bootloader prior to even having the ability to gain root. If the service provider (Verizon) doesn't unlock this, root cannot happen in a traditional sense. Carriers such as T-Mobile have a root for this phone as they come with unlocked bootloaders. You wont see root on the Verizon variant.

no there isnt hope unless u figure it out the "experts" have tried time and time again
the bootloaders arent locked they are signed with a very special key that would take ever computer together in the worl roughly 200000 years plus to brute force into. verizon and att are the worst
now you all know. as said before if u wanted to root you should have studied before buying a "locked" device
if u want root either get a rootable device or figure it out on your own
as with the g4 there will more than likely never be root for these "locked" devices
not being an ass just the cold hard truth

they cant unlock the bootloader or it would have been done
lgs verity key prevents this through qfused motherboards highly encrypted partitions that the bootloader verifys and if one thing is off bam lg secure boot error.
which again is basicly hardcoded into the device.
no one is going to waste their time trying a 99.9% impossible feat

The phone is just not popular enough the Verizon Galaxy S7 I believe is unlocked for the bootloader. If the phone is popular enough a developer will work on it.

You need to be on marshmallow or have anti-rollback to be 0 which <1% of ppl have. Also, it's not a complete root, so although you have root permissions, it's unstable and you have no root manager (SuperSU/Magisk/etc.)

Nokia 8 official bootloader unlock method.

Rejoice people, Nokia just released an official bootloader unlock method for Nokia 8 confirming via a tweet from Juho Sarvikas.
Please check the tweet or Nokia website for more information, I am not yet allowed to post links/urls on XDA threads yet.

I will not definitely do that! Cause, it is a high risk to unlock a device with a cronic image retention problem. I don't want to make my warranty void until I can completely trust this device!

I get the same message on my TA-1004 (Error Messages: Device not support.).
Tried to install from both official webpage and google drive. No luck.

hmmm i did boot the twrp , but it's stuck at the powered by android logo =((

So, A big question to all participants. If we have already unlocked bootloader via unofficial one, do we need to unlock it via official method?
I want to know if it poses no big deal if you have already unlocked bootloader previously using unofficial method.

Simply speaking: the result is the same, because unofficial method calculated the same keys official does. You don't need to unlock again as it's unlocked already.
btw just would like to put this in this topic where it belongs: official announcement post about unlocking https://twitter.com/sarvikas/status/1045298106818949120
