I have been out of the rooting game for a while. Can any one give me a clear answer? I can't seem to find it.
Is the T-Mobile version note 20 ultra SM-N986UZKATMB rootable and/or is the bootloader unlockable?
Or is that only possible with the (carrier)unlocked version?
bootloader is unlockable but it costs money google sampownd

There are some dubious sites that sell software to get the unlock code like sigmakey.com. But they demand $ 129. Is it worth it? I don't think so.
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.

Im not looking for bounty, since my method is not exploit.

So what does that mean in layman's terms? Your not looking for a bounty ?

Its paid service.
I'll assume that was mine you mentioned afaneh92 - awesome to work with! He's there for you with any questions you may have. And yes this really does unlock locked bootloaders!

afaneh92 got my bootloader unlocked and also made a TWRP version for the SM-A716U and helped me get it rooted with Magisk. Great person to deal with - super helpful!
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 device price is not free, you shouldn't bought it lol.
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.

Ah I see now thank you
No problem. I wish I could make one myself, but I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to compiling software.

Is there any other custom recovery for the Motorola edge

Couldn't you unlock it with the "OEM unlocking"?

Not with Verizon devices. Verizon devices are *DEADLOCKED.* You will never unlock a Verizon sold device's bootloader without exploits.
Is there a root with no pc method on the edge 2021 Berlin? Mine is an unlocked version just so you know...

You need a PC to be able to flash a modified boot.img within Fastboot if the device isn't already rooted.

Interesting.
Did you unlock the device via normal methods?
I haven't seen an unlockable vzw moto since Motorola G7 series.
I've started development work on this device and would be nice to know if I need to consider support for the vzw model.
Thanks in advance!

How were you able to accomplish this?
I have the same device but on the Motorola unlock website it says my device isn't eligible.

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.
Hi all.. just got a used yet mint condition S22 Ultra. Since I didn't buy it from T-Mobile they can't unlock it. Is the only way paying to get it unlocked? Also IF unlocked can you still use the new beta...from Samsung beta program?
thanks Z
From what I understand if it's not flagged they can't just not unlock it.
Also yes. You can still use the beta.

Hello,
I'm using pixel 3 in a while then I think about flashing custom rom. But I can't do it because my ORM unlocking is in grey and I can't turn it on. when I checked the IMEI number in google site I noticed that my Pixel is a US VZ variant, I bought it from a online store a year ago. Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader?
Thanks in advance
