Does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader? Or does anyone have the source to root a galaxy note 20 ultra (snapdragon)? I've seen the link saying why someone did it but it doesn't explain how they did it, or where. I understand i might have to pay but honestly it's worth it.

Currently, the only way is via that method. It's done through an unlocking method that only they're able to do. Otherwise, it would have been discussed by now

SamPWND unlocks bootloader on Snapdragon GalaxySamPWND is a paid service that (remotely) helps you unlock the bootloader on Snapdragon Galaxy devices sold in the USA and Canada. This service is provided by XDA Recognized Developer and long-time community member elliwigy. He first announced this service over at XDA in December 2020.
He is the same developer who found an exploit that led to root solutions for various Snapdragon devices including Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S9/S9+, and Galaxy Note 9.
Here’s the old direct link to SamPWND’s official website: https://www.sampwnd.com/... but unfortunately the site is down.
You can contact elliwigy here though and ask.

new evos come with this installed?? wheres your source on that, first i heard of that.
Id say that where ever people are getting the phone now, the reps there will install the updates before they give it to you.

My source is me. My friend got his from Best Buy this morning, he asked me to root it for him. Then I discovered v1.47.651.1 on it.
My EVO is currently smashed, I am awaiting a replacement. I pray my replacement doesn't come with that version on it but I'm probably SOL on that.
There are still NEW Evos that are coming with stock ROM. I bought another Evo last Thursday from the Sprint website and got it yesterday. It has the 1.32.651.1 firmware and 003 Novatec panel.

I have no doubt that is true. But it's simple logic to figure that eventually those older versioned phones will run out and get replaced by the new v1.47.651.1.
I thought about offering $ as well. Which I may be willing to contribute. But I have the fear that it will cause the free flow of ideas between the devs to stop if they think another dev will crack it first.
They deserve the $, no doubt. But I'm hoping they would be willing to work together and split it up. If that's the case, lets see how high the pool can get.

Sure, it's possible. But he said the guy handed it to him in the box, and the plastic protector was still on the phone screen.
Can you not just downgrade to a previous version then root? (like what you had to do at the beginning if you already got a phone with the first OTA?)
And since you didnt specify that it needed to be full root or NAND unlock.. you could just use this:

Goes good with that avatar of yours. Want to add to it?
You can count me in for $20, mine had the first OTA already installed.. but I didnt read up good enough and thought root wouldnt be possible so I just said the heck with it and installed 1.47.651.1.. Loving this phone but I know ill love it more rooted with a custom rom..
Anyone know what the Verizon developer edition is even worth these days? Can't find any on swappa or eBay. Seems like this is the last unlocked Samsung phone that Verizon released. Before I sell mine, I just want to know what I could get for it.

I know it's a late reply but they seemed to be fetching around $250 USD when I was looking a month ago. I cannot remember the model now but on an actual developer phone under the battery the model number is different so make sure you put that full model number in the title of your listing on whatever site you use.
I just threw mine up on eBay with a best offer option since I really have no idea what it's worth. I'm gonna let it sit there until I get what I feel is a reasonable price.

Dude, we really need your device for development right now. Some devs are close to unlocking the bootloader. Use this thread to generate a dump. Then upload the files to a public place. Please! All we need is the tar file with aboot.mbn.

Makes perfect sense that while I'm trying to sell my device, I would render it worthless or decrease the value and make it equal to all the other Verizon S5 phones by unlocking their bootloaders...

You think dumping would negatively affect your phone? You really don't get it, you selfish tosser. Welcome to blocksville...
Lol you guys in this thread dont get it. He doesn't owe us anything. It would however greatly benefit all of us if it were released though.
Same thing when the video of the b/l being unlocked by Beaups

Hi,
Full noob here. Will appreciate all the suggestions I can get, thanks in advance!
So i have a Galaxy note 8 designated for Sprint. The problem is, it's linked so someones account. I bought this phone from ebay and there is no hope of contacting the person. Is there any way I can get around this?
The phone has a clean ESN...just needs to be released so I can activate it.
Thanks
Nope they will have to do it.

Is there some program they send me that actually does this unlocking? Forgive me but I have not used OnePlus phones yet and am trying to learn this Oxygen OS layer. I basically only wish to root to get root level apps to backup app data etc. The idea that SIM unlock = Bootloader Unlock is very strange. No other equipment works like this. You can SIM unlock without BL unlock. So please educate me. Thanks.

If you have a T-Mobile version... There is an app on it named "unlock", it's controlled through there. If not T-Mobile then I do not know.

If you use the Unlock app, chances are it will tell you that your device cannot be unlocked because it is not yet paid for in full (that is, if you're financing it). You're best off contacting T-Mobile Help on Twitter
