Please, can someone help by describing how to check the status of the boot loader in the first place. To know if it's locked or not.
I have Note 20 Ultra 5G T-Mobile SM-N986USQS1CTLB, Android 11
Thanks.

It's locked, trust me. When you boot up, it would give you warnings that your bootloader was unlocked otherwise. Gotta use the pay service to unlock it, well worth it!

Realme 2 has launched with snapdragon 450 and a good compitetor with redmi 5 (3+32) and any one know about unlocking bootloader of realme 2, will they support unlocking bootloader?
Most probably, no. But lets see, it has SD soc right now and both asus and xiaomi are providing bootloader to be unlockable.

May be yes
No. Realme 2 has no fastboot binaries even. Hence, though it has settings to OEM unlock, but apparently you can't flash anything.
Realme 2 will not get support in unlock bootloader..as per realme 2 executive
This is what thier response to me when I contacted them on mail about bootloader unlocking
"Thank you for writing to Realme Customer Service regarding Rooting of the device inquiry.
We would like to bring to your notice that it is not advisable for users to root the device as this will void the warranty of the product. This is in line with the terms and conditions mentioned in our warranty card provided with every product at the time of sale.

Moreover, we have taken your feedback and shared the same with the concerned team so that they can look into your suggestions.

I also got the same mail, i think they provide a method to unlock the bootloader if they get many mails regarding the unlocking of bootloader. If u guys want the developement of realme 2 please send a mail to realme care regarding this.

Oppo-RealMe = Won't allow you to unlock your bootloader!
Best Specs killed by bad OEM+OS!
One of the worst OS I have ever used. Never buying any Oppo family device again. Neitheerthe ROM has any theme manager, nor can we install using its apk from other handsetd. Moreover, we cant hide the Nav bar using adb. No root, no fastboot binaries, hence no custom ROMs. Its firmware has such an extension (*.ofp) which cannot be extracted except the latest version of UFI/Miracle box, which needs you to buy a new hardware not available in my country(wanted to extract boor.img). Still phone has OEM unlock settings under developer options. This is worse than even the latest iphone(which too has nothing and the high price is just for their logo).
Would never recommend anyone to buy any handset having ColorOS ROM.
They will allow to unlock the bootloader as the ceo said they will soon upgrade the ui and will launch there own color os and will also help developer.

Realme 2 pro BOOTLOADER UNLOCK announcement
see this video for the official statement directly from CEO Realme about bootloader unlock for Realme 2 pro.
https://youtu.be/bkGYWarGl7Y
Realme 2 pro will be able to unlock bootloader before Jan 15, 2019.
i think Realme 2 also get bootloader unlock soon.
https://myphoneupdate.com/root-galaxy-s10e-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery/
Can we root S10E with this link? I just found it on the web.
Seems like they copy and paste this "manual" for each and every (Samsung?) phone. First point : find me a home-button on the S10(e) ...
I don't believe TWRP is available yet on the S10, nevertheless the S10+ recently got rooted https://www.xda-developers.com/exynos-samsung-galaxy-s10-rooted-magisk/
S10e won't be far off
does anyone have tried the patch boot image magisk method ?useless to try ?
Check it out!! https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1112611158735966209?s=19
The magisk Mastermind has struck gold again! This is no April fool's day joke! We are about to see payloads galore!!
Great work John Wu!
Why is it that I can't find any information on the status of the snapdragon version of the s10e root/bootloader unlock? I love this phone but I really need root. Does anyone know where I can find information or status updates?

From my understanding, if your model has the option to unlock the bootloader from developer options, then you can root. If you have a snapdragon varient, the only model that has the ability to unlock the bootloader is the SM-G9700 which is only sold in hong kong/china. I believe all Exynos models have the ability to unlock the bootloader, not sure though.
No one has rooted the snap dragon variant, but I'm sure it's possible. I just don't understand why there's no information or status updates on it.

Im pretty sure people are using the Exynos method on snapdragon variants that have the unlockable bootloader.

Don't be so sure about unlocking the US Snapdragon devices. There hasn't been a real root since the S7 series, the S8 root only works on some older bootloaders and crashing a lot, while the S9/S10 have nothing so far. Without an unlockable bootloader, it's extremely difficult to do anything. On the S7 it was possible via special engineering bootloaders, but that trick doesn't work on the S8/S9/S10 series coupled Samsung's new bootloader security measure via "VaultKeeper". Even on the Exynos versions it's a struggle to run Magisk, on every reboot you have to go through a bunch of steps to basically re-unlock the bootloader. It's basically game over rooting new US flagship Samsung devices, therefore you're better off with the international/global Exynos "F" versions.
This is where i will compile all known methods of bootloader unlock/root methods and the bounties for the respective US Carriers.
Tmobile/Sprint Status=No known Method
Tmobile/Sprint Bounty= $0
ATT Status=No Known Method
ATT Bounty=$0
Verizon Status= No Known Method
Verizon Bounty= $0
Saved for bootloader unlock methods
Saved For Rooting Methods
am I correct to assume that a network unlocked , carrier unlocked device also has no known unlock method?
Wanted to know before I buy one of these.

The U1 variant might might have a bootloader unlock setting in Developer Options. Maybe someone here can verify, as I have the UW variant. Some things I have read listed the U1 variant as populating that setting like the S20 and Note20 devices. Unfortunately, my UW has not. Next issue though is getting TWRP built for the A71 though.

U1 user here; can confirm that there is not a dev setting for OEM unlock. Now I remember why I avoided Samsung phones for so long...
I will provide $300 to any bounty for an AT&T unlock/root. I'm a new user but will happily provide any type of proof to staff if they want.
ill provide a bounty of $10, it all adds up if there is enough support.
I'll add $40 to the bounty, if anyone happens to wind up with anything promising. I knew I shouldn't have went with Samsung again, but the A71 5G was a damn good phone for $300, imho.
I have $200 for anyone who can provide the unlock or just a general unlock for all US Carriers... Like the other person said, it all adds up
I have unlocked A71 5G A716U device today, so unlock bootloader confirmed.

Sadface here. I bought a A71 5G after reading the A71 thread. I thought they were the same phone. Now I'm stuck with a locked bootloader. Just never going to pay for something that should have been free to begin with.

The screenshot you uploaded is useless for that info, anyway you should cover your IMEI number.
OEM unlock feature must be in the developer options.
If your device is from the USA variants, then it is not unlockable.
Thank you

P.S. Remark for all readers: The affected device is a Samsung Galaxy A10e (SM-A102U)
one can't root that device with apk - if some site claims different it's a scam for sure!
furthermore that bootloader is locked down entirely from samsung. if there will be workaround or exploit in future you will hear it probably from @afaneh92 first. I suggest you to read his threads and subscribe
why do you want to root that device? you probably have another issue which can maybe solved without rooting

Yes, I saw that, and it's right, I totally understand the reason behind that, it's unlikely to cover that wide range of devices in other way but for this reason I said that US variants are not unlockable (by the normal means). For the sake of accuracy, all the devices are unlockable, either for free or through a paid service, but always my answers are directed to the "fun for free" section.
On the TWRP website i see a Motorola Moto edge (racer) but is it for the Motorola edge 5g UW (2021)?
No, our edge 2021 is berlna, or berlin, out side of north america.

Not with Verizon devices. Verizon devices are *DEADLOCKED.* You will never unlock a Verizon sold device's bootloader without exploits.

My assumption is vzw model is also unlockable via moto-key.
It will cost about 60usd to unlock bootloader.
With that said there's no garentee roms or twrp will be fully compatible.
