Unless somehow your s10e ever shows you OEM unlocking then you have a unlocked bootloader but US/Canada models Don't and wont unless you crack that bootloader. U3 bootloader was exploited by sampwn, but since that there has been no bootloader unlock method. Hopefully lapsus$ hack will give us some hope for a u4-u6 bootloader unlock and we can jump ship to lineage. Samsung has started to slow my phone down a lot and I want the bloat off. Cross your fingers.

I was reading through and people say the OEM was locked. Has anyone found a work around to this I want to get this phone for the mod friendliness however if the OEM unlocking is locked it would be impossible. Any work around? I really want to have access to hotspot with no issues
Not currently. I don't have the phone yet, ordered Friday probably won't be getting it til Monday. If it seems impossible to root, I'll trade it in for the note 10+.
Unfortunately not. You either have to meet Sprints requirements for them to unlock it (phone paid in full and active for 60 days or more on their network) or we have to wait and see if an amazing devs can help us out.
Wait does that mean that sprint will actually unlock the phone for you? If they do, is root possible or would someone still have to develop something for it?

Pretty sure the post about Sprint unlocking the device is confusing SIM unlock with bootloader unlock. Which of course are 2 very different things. I've never heard of carriers having anything to do with unlocking the bootloader. But unlocking the SIM, yes (they have to by law now).
Otherwise, the requirements stated would not be that hard to meet, and plenty of folks would already be unlocking their Sprint 7 Pro bootloaders.
Unlocking the bootloader is the main barrier to root. I don't see why (with an unlocked bootloader) you couldn't just root with one of the existing methods (flash patched boot img with fastboot, or boot TWRP and flash Magisk) and no real development would be needed. But it's that locked bootloader that is the kicker!
So is there any no root workaround for use of the native hotspot on the sprint version of this device?
Or would we just have to use an app?
Hey folks,
I am new to the rooting scene and was hoping someone could give me some guidance on how to properly root my S7 model G930VL. I've read people say that the bootloader cannot be unlocked while others said it can by simply turning on OEM unlock? Do I really have to flash another firmware in order to root and if so, how would I do that?
Thank you for your time.

all the VLs ive seen use safestrap (i have a G900VL and its the same issue). Ive tried flashing so many different versions of S5 firmware that its becoming hopeless. I know youre talking about a S7 and im talking about a S5, but the issue should be at the very least similar. If the bootloader is locked and isnt unlockable, then all youre left with is safestrap

Hi,
Thanks for the reply back. I actually just ordered a SM-G930F international variant which I was under the impression is much, much easier to root, right? The bootloader is automatically unlocked by turning on OEM in dev settings?

yep and yep. you might have to contend with the 168 hour thing, but other than that it should be a cakewalk. The 168 hour thing is where the bootloader toggle wont switch unless you let it sit powered on for 168 hours. I.E., just dont reboot it for 7 days then toggle the unlock
Hello All,
Ok so first off you guys at XDA are the ****! I swear I can find anything I need to know on this site with a little research, much respect. So as the title suggests I wanted to know if it's possible to flash a SM-G970U (US) with SM-G970F (UK) firmware? I am basically looking for a slightly less complicated way of enabling "OEM Unlock" to Unlock the bootloader. And yes I realize that more than likely I will not be able to use any US sim cards with that firmware but if it is possible and I could unlock the bootloader I could basically load anything I wanted onto it right?
......actually seems like the SM-G9700 would be a better candidate for the firmware to load on the SM-G970U.
.....be gentle, I'm a N00B...kind of =\

Actually i want to know as well because i read somewhere where someone said its possible because they are all the same models........did it work for you?
yea no...don't do that it won't work
Lol i already tried it flashed succesfully according to odin but when the device rebooted it came with the same firmware before and nothing changed Lmao
how did it flashed ,please specify
I was told this is not possible. Unless you can find original overstock (i.e. that has NOT been updated) in which case you can pay to unlock the bootloader.
Otherwise, I believe any bootloader beyond v1 cannot be bootloader unlocked. Only hope is Sammie does us a solid when this goes EOL and unlocks the bootloader. Question is whether VZW and AT&T will prevent them from doing that.
My S10e is still going great, and if I could root and flash a custom rom I'd probably replace the battery and roll with it another 3-4 years because I have no interest in the larger phones that dominate the Android market now.
Hello,
I'm seeing quite a few different "methods" or instructions for rooting. I just picked up my Oneplus 8 today with T-Mobile, it's on a payment plan if that matters for SIM unlock, etc.
What's the easiest method to rooting the device? I use Adguard and want it to run using the "root" method which is better, per their support (which is why I bought this phone). My current build (which reports up to date) is 10.5.10.IN55CB
Thanks to all in advance
P.S. Any negative effects? I'm reading mixed reports of loss of LTE/Wifi.
You can only root after sim unlocking the device. After that you would apply for an unlock token from OnePlus, and after a week you'll be able to unlock the bootloader (which will wipe your data) and then you will be able to proceed with any of the root guides posted here.
There is a sim unlock thread in the guides section here, though the person offering the free service is heavily backlogged at the moment. You may have better luck asking TMobile on Twitter for a permanent unlock, though they are very stubborn.
Once your device has been permanently unlocked, you would toggle unlock bootloader in developer options, enter fastboot and enter a command (follow the OnePlus unlock bootloader guide somewhere on Google for this)

TMobile will officially unlock it after paying it off in full (and I think be on the network for x number of days) but there have been cases where they have unlocked the device prior to it being paid off, ultimately it depends on the representative you speak to

Thanks, this is probably the method I'll go with once I sell off my S10+ (after they release that since I paid off lease).

Look on our website there is someone who can SIM Unlock for you, without you having to pay off your phone first. From there you can request from One Plus to send you your unlock bin. This is how I went about it, I was up and running with an unlocked bootloader in 1 week. Might want to donate if possible:highfive:

Unfortunately the SM-S908U1 cannot have its bootloader unlocked normally. Unless there's some other method or exploit, it will be locked forever.
There is an exploit out there. It has been in the news lately. It is whether or not it actually ever makes it to anyone that can use it to root our devices. But it does work for the s22. Here is an article about it.

Only Exynos and a couple of Snapdragon variants offer bootloaders which can be unlocked. A little research goes a long way.

for now, I'll disable my software updates for android and wait lol.... Root became available for my note 20 ultra after some time, but I had already installed a later version that was patched....
That’s why I ended up spending the money to buy the international version rather than the US\Canada versions knowing that there is a lot of network incompatibilities. I need the bootloader to unlock and root.

This looks very promising... Should be able to transfer root files even without trippin knox? Seem like that concept would fix the issue...
Same case here as OP. Hoping a workaround comes up!
Ditto, here. I'll keep checking back. My 3T was un-rooted for a while, until the ads started getting worse... Gonna really miss AdAway and Vanced.
Still no bootloader unlock for a SM-S908U1? Its time for me to start writing kernels again!!! Tired of no customization and bad battery.

How are you disabling updates? My att 908U just randomly updates without me allowing it. Really annoying. It does it when and where it wants to. I don't like them having such control over my phone.
