Docomo Galaxy S6 SC-05G root?

Hi,
Is it currently possible to root the Samsung Galaxy S6 from Docomo, Japan (SC-05G version)? I'm going to get it as it's only around 400 usd here in Japan. Thank you.

You can try pingpong root.

Thanks, but PingPong doesn't support the ROM installed on Docomo S6, right? (image below)

My S6 baseband version is: SC05GOMU1AOD2.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me.

The latest Android Version that I can get for my Docomo variant is 5.0.2, can I still use this method? (it seems this is for 5.1.1 only)

There's no CF Root package available for my phone model (SC-05G) unfortunately.

I guess we will have to wait for further developments...

According to a forum in Japanese:
SC-０５Gだろ何言ってんだ？
smg9200のCF auto rootでrootとれてるぞ
It seems that using sm-g9200 's CF auto root, SC-05G (Docomo Galaxy S6) can be rooted. But it will trip KNOX.

Thanks, I actually was able to flash TWRP (the normal one didn't work, but somehow the TWRP for Sprint worked) and install SuperSU from there. Maybe the Docomo S6 and Sprint S6 have similar hardware. I tripped KNOX and didn't care much .
One thing though, I wish I can flash a custom ROM like this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...t/temporary-ram9200-ofe-thread-5-1-1-t3169592. Although this one is for Sprint, maybe it will work for my phone, too. How risky it is to try to flash this if I already have a nandroid backup from TWRP?

Status update?

I just picked up an s6 from Docomo on sunday because I dropped my s4 into a puddle of standing water and the display is fried.
I'd like to root, but I'm wondering, how did your root go?
I know we're not exactly supported here...
Also, do you think it really matters if we trip Knox repeatedly? It voids our warranty, sure, but with the insurance that we have here, you can simply smash your phone with a brick and pay the 5000 yen deductible to get a shiny, new phone, correct?
Anyway, I'm curious what your thoughts are on this, and if you have any useful info for someone newer than you to the s6.
Cheers,
Richard

Have you managed to root your samsung and without angering the mighty knox? I also live in Japan, I'm shopping for a sim-free 3gb ram phone that's good and easily rootable (other than nexus) . Anyone know a good suggestion? buying overseas models seems problematic because most don't support all main docomo bands. so I have to stick to versions sold in Japan );

Hi,
I'm looking for rom cook for galaxy s6 docomo sc-05g, who can help me? Thank you!

Bootloader

Yes. Open dial and press:
*#*#7378423#*#*
This opens service menu, choose Service Info and then Configuration.
Look for rooting status. If it says bootloader unlocked than you are unlocked. If it says Unlock allowed Yes, then you are locked but can unlock. If it say Unlock allowed No, than it's provider locked version and can not be unlocked, but still rootable.

Bootloader is never unlocked BY INSTALLING custom fw. But you need to unlock first to install custom firmware. However, stock based custom fw doesn't need it. So if you have unlocked bootloader, you must have did it by yourself or it was already unlocked if you both it second hand. Unless you have backup of your TA partition there is no way back. Never try to flash TA partition of other phone into yours or you will hard brick it.

[HELP] Converting OP 7 Pro 5G Sprint to International Variant

I've a OP 7 Pro Sprint Variant, Model: GM1925. When I was in stock ROM, the latest build was 10.0.7.GM25CC. Few weeks earlier, I followed the guide here and was able to successfully convert it to EU firmware. The reason behind this conversion is to get the latest OOS updates asap. But it seems the updates for 5G phones are lagging far behind. My phone is running on 10.0.11.GM27BA currently.
Further, I tried to convert my phone to International variant by following the guide here but failed. More specifically, it stopped after 'Param preload'.
Now, I badly want to convert it to International variant. I don't mind if losing 5G would enable dual sim functionality on my phone.
Is there any way?
[I've attached a screenshot of my phone's About section]

Late on the replies but converting to international is impossible due to different partitions. Dual sim WILL NEVER WORK because we don't have the config files for dsds on the X50 modem. Because of the 5G, updates are behind and will be for basically the phone's EOL. Custom roms are a grey area as modem needs porting and rotation needs fixing, and Android 11 custom roms won't work (due to no modem functionality)

Question Bootloader Unlock?

It's still the early days before many people get these phones. I figure I'd ask the question: Which models, if any, will be able to unlock the bootloader?
Previously, I was told the USA models (even if carrier unlocked) could not unlock the bootloader, while the S. Korean models actually *could*.

Typically, Samsung devices with Qualcomm chipsets marketed in the United States are not bootloader unlockable. Exynos on the other hand usually are. No idea if this has changed in regards to the S23.

No changes at all. The ability to unlock the device doesn't depends on the SoC but rather to the region of the device. The international variant of the phone can be unlocked without any issue

77% of us in the UK in the S23U poll are unable to unlock

just in case none of you guys haven't figured it out the S23s are all unlocked, but are temporarily networked lock depending on how you got your phone. I know this because Samsung told me both the american samsung and the Korean Samsung also my program are it has roots for the devices.. It just don't have a way to network unlock them

To clarify: you mean all s23s are bootloader unlockable and able to be rooted, install custom recoveries/ROMs, etc?

Yes, they can all be rooted and more. You just have to be the one to download the firmware you want and use the method that you want this program supports Magisk root. you can also technically flash firmware as if you are using Odin

Just to clarify - approx 50% of us in the UK are unable to unlock the bootloader as Samsung chose to enable Knox Guard active (01) meaning OEM unlock does not show
Samsung is ambivalent about the issue
UK ONLY - do you have oem unlock available?
As the titles states, it'd be good to understand how many people have the normal oem unlock available in developer options. A couple of us have received various s23 models with kg status active and no oem unlock available in developer settings...

Question Back to stock, how to make sure I flash the correct ROM?

Hello everyone, I may be planning to resell my Poco X3 Pro, and for that, I want to reflash the stock ROM and relock the bootloader.
As I understand it, there are different ROM versions, India, Global, EU, etc, and flashing the wrong ROM and unlocking will brick the device, is that correct? I bought my phone from Iran, but as Xiaomi phones are often imported unofficially, the actual version of the phone may not be clear. Is there any way I can find out the stock ROM version so I can relock the bootloader? I still have the box, btw.
Thanks.

You can Figure out which Version you have by Baseband Version in System settings.
No clue which one is which though^^

As long as the ROM version is the same or newer than Firmware you won't have any problems.

Purchase Country: Germany
The actual warranty should be according to where it is from.
In general, Global is 1 year, while Europe is 2 years. UK is also 2 years.
Could ask Xiaomi/POCO about it.
Mi Deutschland
www.mi.com
POCO Deutschland

POCO Deutschland

The non-official website could show the information probably due to the "Mi-Activation lock: On", in order for the "Find my device" function to work.
You can log into Official Xiaomi and check and or un-link

Just flash Global ROM and lock bootloader. It doesn't matter the region.
Download original ROM from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vayu/
Use fastboot rom, don't use recovery.
