Thanks for the updated link, but I have unfortunate news. SD S8/S8+ do not have unlockable bootloaders, so no TWRP or root available.

The Snapdragon Version? That means Samsung forces European customers to buy the Exynos Variant which is unlockable while the US gets the Snapdragon which is locked?
What kind of slaving is this? Looks like Samsung don't wants us to use AOSP so we have to buya new Device every Year to get the latest Android!?
I would really like to support the Users of the Samsung Devices but i'm sad to hear that it will not happen yet :/ What about the S7? Has anyone cracked it?

S7/S7edge do indeed have root by way of Engineer Boot kernels flashed through Odin. They also have locked bootloaders though so no TWRP.

As long as root is available and the System R/W it will work. Cross My Fingers for the S8 Snapdragons! It is really a great Device on the Hardware Side...
I've experienced the same locked Bootloader Story with the LG G5 which means for Me less Users all over XDA. Really a bummer! Looks like i go back to Sony which are Worldwide unlockable (except for some strange Carriers in the far East). They are also very open to XDA and the custom Szene around Android which is unique somehow. I've to support them...
Thanks for the Infos Mate!

Good news!

We are getting closer to some KitKat goodness and potential custom ROMs!
Looks like we will be going straight to 4.4.3, just need a timeframe, at least we have not been forgotten.

After flashing the stock ROM, my phone says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." when I try to check for updates. How do I make the phone realise that it's running the stock rom?

Hey
Great. This is only a few hours old. I've been working in my garden. But why 4.4.2?
I crack myself up. They should have released 4.4.3. Never mind, now I just need a dump and some updated sources.
About your problem; this is Samsung in a nutshell, but I'll do my best to release a 4.4.2 kernel and system as soon as I can. Hopefully I'll be able to make it compatible with 4.2.2 and 4.3 bootloaders.
Stay tuned.

According to SamMobile, Samsung has ignored our device. True, but why?
Ok, this is my personal opinion. The GT-I9506 is outstanding, making it a direct threat to the Galaxy S5. As you know, the S5 features a Snapdragon S801...just an overclocked S800. No magic in that. I can do the same, well to be honest...I already did for my own phone. It's a piece of cake to overclock. But the fact is, do we need it? For myself; nice to have but not need to have.
I'm pretty sure that we can do the same as the S5, and even more. But with the new S805, we WILL loose, no doubt about that.
Stay tuned guys, the game is about to begin.

Verizon 5.1.1 Root??

Sorry, but I have searched, and can't find a direct answer, is 5.1.1 rooted for Verizon?
Where can I find the guide if it is.
Currently I am rooted on 5.02, have been delaying any OTA since purchase, rooted using Ping Pong
Thanks in advance
Anxiously awaiting this myself...I do know that Verizon locked the bootloader on or before 5.1.1 and as far as I know there is no root...yet.
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
It does not exist. Not even the top rom makers and programers have been able to do it. The 5.1.1 update will also make it so you can't go backwards to 5.0.2. This is the first time since I've owned cell phones that I've seen a company finally beat the cell phone gurus but they finally did it on this one. However if you are not on Verizon or AT&T you can still do it through ODIN.
So if you have a phone pre 5.1.1 that rootable and root it...will you be able to flash 5.1.1?

s4 beat the cell phone gurus... Technically... MDK was unlocked, nothing after that was.
s5 has also never had a bootloader unlock..

It has not been released but I'm sure it will soon. Once that is released it should open things up for the S6.

It will not be released ever. That has been said a few times. It uses(from what I have heard) a Zero Day exploit, meaning it's very damn complicated, and it has a high chance of bricking people's phones. That was never meant to go to the general public. It was aimed at other devs. It's a proof of concept, meaning it CAN be unlocked, just not through that way.

0 day exploits are OS vulnerabilities that the manufacturer themselves aren't aware of. It doesn't necessarily mean that exploit itself has a high chance of bricking the phone.
Not releasing the method could be any number if things. These reasons could range from stolen proprietary source code being used to the exploit's author deciding that he doesn't feel like sharing the method.
I heard that the team that found the method said that they would NOT release it at the moment but that in the future it will be available.

I know that it may not have a high chance of bricking the device, but with the device, I assume it is thanks to shenanigans with Verizon and Knox. I have already discussed legal issues briefly in the s4 bootloader thread... Damn Money Sucking Lawyers. It is what it is. I think it has given some people hope because there IS A WAY... Just maybe not that way.
Maybe hope yet just pay this on google plus not sure if our verizon variant will benefit from this method so correct me if I am wrong but take a look any how.

[WIP][DEVS] CyanogenMod for LG G5

Hi all,
I started working on the LG G5 a way back .. and now that we've got the device in stores I guess it's time to work all together to bring it up !
STATUS
- [02/04/2016] All the US Carriers/Sellers locked the bootloaders so NO TWRP possible and consequently NO CM possible
CURRENT GOALS
- Thought, all the Europe variants will be for sure unlocked so we need to prepare the sources for it
- Here is where all the sources are pushed https://github.com/G5Devs
ETA :
- The tree is made
- The vendor is made
- The kernel is made
TODO :
- Clarifying kernel sources
- Add the ramdisk to the device
- Split the g5 to g5-common and all the under variants
This thread is not a thread to release builds, it's about contributing all together into this bringup in order to get the nicest thing out of it when the bootloaders will become unlockable.
I hope we'll can work all together !

only for that specific device(s) on HTC
HTC has a portal that allows you to unlock bootloader for that specific device (hence the need to copy+paste token to HTC's portal and get the unlock key)
no doubt HTC will void warranty immediately in their system when you input token
LG doesn't have this (yet? i hope)
Yeah, was just a thought. Haven't owned a LG in some time, been on the Samsung wagon. The G5 is on my watch list of devices I might get, I like the design. I'll try to see if I can find something that might be more constructive to the cause. The HTC link was the first thing I could think of that I've dealt with.
I see that LG has release a tool for the G4 and that's device specific and seems to work on the European devices.
Totally willing to contribute monetarily if this will help any developers out. I don't have much else but really want to help get this phone broken open and fixed up good!

How do you test to see if your handset has the DM verify second bootloader lock?
I am hoping to get my UK unbranded unlocked retail H850 unit on Friday, so am happy to test any restrictons, but don't know how to check for this?
If I buy a g5 from best buy would it still have the locked bootloader?

They just released TWRP for snapdragon gs8? real or fake

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-s8-snapdragon-t3636718
Well......I mean there's no way to use it. (in America at least)
Real or not. We can't really use it...
no bootloader unlock though.
Pretty clear in the first statement in red in the OP.
Chinese version only...this is nothing new as historically the chinese snapdragons have not had locked bootloaders.
Means absolutely nothing for the US and CAN snapdragon devices which unfortunately are locked down and will likely never see TWRP.

Without a locked bootloader yes twrp is easily possible..but i very much doubt the s8 bootloaders will ever get unlocked. Plus since the exynos is easily available and never locked there is really no huge demand to bother with the snapdragon.

You did not flash twrp on a us snapdragon and there is no root on oreo yet. You are providing false information to the community. And is not apreciated

[Snapdragon]New OREO Leak w/ March Security Patch Build ARC6

Close thread
Is this a downgrade? Bc my screenshot is from just now and it's the unlocked us variant running the same build it shipped with but has had an update waiting to be installed for about a week. And my number Is higher than yours.
BEWARE!! Thats a new boot loader... v2! you wont be able to do a full factory restore until a v2 bootloader odin file is released.
That being said, how do you like it? any differences?

@AndroidDevices: Could you check something for me? Download AIDA64 from the Play Store, go into the app, select "Display" and look for a date. What is it?

I wonder why they upgraded the bootloader and what feature or exploit they removed ?

You will probably be waiting quite awhile.... As I stated in my thread, little to NO devs are working on root for the s9/+... I've seen one Korean user mention he was trying in another forum for us SD users, and ONE other guy... That's it, just 2 people and myself. Don't expect anything before Christmas.
The only member (SAMFail creaters) i know working on ROOT doesnt have the device but has a tester... Its gonna be a while...
Dude, dont post these. I roasted you enough on reddit. The basics, these are bad updates to use unless I can verify them before. Bl updates are dangerous. Also just dont use them dude, the website could be shut down any day because of people like you.

Why are these bad updates?
These updates from sam firm science allowed a lot of us to get onto oreo beta. If you know how to recover your phone why is this a problem. OP explained the risk with the bootloader.

Because NEVER do bl updates. Btw check my post history, I did Note8 Oreo. Also I work with the dude who makes the site. I know this stuff. That's why I am saying it's a bad idea.

Actually, cancel that, he is no longer trying root methods SAMFail has been PATCHED! So, it gonna be even longer until ROOT....
I may just go to international S9+ if there root seems like a false hope on the SD variant. The only issue would be VoLTE and WiFi calling, oh and Samsung suddenly restricting call recording apps on international variant. I tried flashing those Engboot from other thread with no luck btw.

"NEVER" do BL updates is a bit dramatic, don't you think?
