Question Is Samsung A22 5G supporting Good Lock Modules? - Samsung Galaxy A22 5G

Hi A22 5G users,
Is the Samsung A22 5G supporting Good Lock. If yes, supporting all modules or limited. The support is official or unofficial? Many Thanks in Advance.

If they show on the Gallaxy store, install and work... then they are supported.
Some regions aren't supported even if some regional model variants are.
Level of the firmware update also effects what can be used.

yes, i know. I do not have the model, so is why asking if anyone who is using it might answer

I hear you. Forget asking Samsung Tech support... they suck.
Try a Google search for that model/good lock and you pull up some of the Samsung User threads about it. See what they are saying.

Samsung A22 5G support these modules if they come from moded/unofficial version, I have the phone and I run these modules

Samsung S7 G9300 China (Snapdragon) ROMS?

Hey all.
I have looked around, and call me clueless, but I still don't understand if there are or what ROMs are floating around for the snapdragon version of the S7. Does anyone know if there are any? And if so, is there a single, more popular one that is more likely to work well?
And if someone wanted to start development for building a Nougat build, where would one start?
Thanks for any help!

I wonder why Snapdragon variants have no AOSP ROMs. Before S7 Exynos based devices have no community support.

Galaxy G9500 ROM??

Help required for a newby:
I bought a Galaxy SM G9500 (Snapdragon) in Thailand and it's not compatible with Aussie apps or app store. (Even Samsung switch)
Is there a standard Aussie ROM out there??
I've never rooted a phone before so am a bit nervous as you can imagine!!

Okay il just give you the important details, the snapdragon variant, which you have has a locked boot loader which means you are very limited on what you can do, twrp will not work, don't even try it, you will mess your phone up.
Root is available but there are bugs, such the phone not charging beyond 80%.
Because of those above things, rom development for the snapdragon variant is almost non existent, and a lot of that is down to having a snapdragon version.
I'm also a bit surprised there are next to no development activity (ROMs) for the Snapdragon variant. It seems like Exynos is getting all the love.
I was ' ' this close to pulling the trigger on a G9500 (or even N9500) but have now noticed there is just about no community support for these. :crying:
Worth noting the Exynos 8895 doesn't have a NPU whereas the Snapdragon does (Hexagon DSP). Something becoming much more important as onboard AI takes a larger role.
List of device variants
In other news: It's also a bit odd that the S8 and S8+ landing pages have incorrect/incomplete device descriptions.
Yes, it's frustrating that poor old Snapdragon is not getting the same attention!
Judging by your your Modelnumber you should have the Chinese Version with unlocked bootloader. So it seems that you can flash different Chinese and Hong Kong Firmwares, some of them apparently having the Playstore. It sounds pretty complicated and is a lot to read: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-s8-snapdragon-t3636718
Good luck :good:

Samsung Pay - Does it work for you?

Hey all, i have a quick question for you: Does Samsung Pay work on your note 10 lite?
I'm from the US and I bought my sm-n770f/ds on ebay. When setting up my phone, Samsung Pay came preloaded on my device and works flawlessly for me personally. However, I'm reading reports of note 10 lite devices not having Samsung Pay pre-installed at all, with the phone reporting that it's not supported by Samsung Pay when trying to install it after the fact.
Did your device come with it pre-installed? Are you able to use it? I'd like to get to the bottom of why some of these devices just don't have it.
Notr10 lite是可以使用samsung pay
EU Baltic Region...not worked for me? but Im not using it...period
Just in case
i think i have vastly overestimated how many people actually own this phone lmao

Where to buy "already" rooted phone?

Hi, I am just not getting it. Spent money on two phones to see if I can unlock and root them, and it is not my forte! Don't even know where to start because there is just too much information out there when I search online.
Is there anywhere I can just buy a rooted device, or pay someone to do it. Since every search on the Internet leads back to this site I thought I should ask it here. If I am in wrong section please let me know.
Thank you
As you want to root your phone, I'm assuming you know how a phone works and how to differentiate models and variants!
You can't buy an already rooted phone, as none come with it. If you want a phone that is easy to root but still good for a daily driver, you have to know the following criteria:
- Very popular brand (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo)
- Has to have a Snapdragon processor (mediatek phones are harder to root)
- The specific device should be popular on XDA (examples include Redmi Note 8 Pro, Poco X3 Pro, most samsung S devices that have Snapdragon processors)
- Samsung S (s22, s20, s8, etc) only have Snapdragon CPUs in countries like the USA and I think China

yeah, but if you buy a oneplus don't get anything above the 8 lineup as they just get worse from there
and if you get a pixel 6 series i can't guarantee anything about that tensor chip being even bootloader unlockable

Search for "rooted android phone" on Ebay. Do your research and make sure you know what your are buying, though. Also check the vendor ratings of the seller.

recipy for DISASTER. don't buy a pre rooted phone, who knows what keyloggers and spyware can be put alongside that root? i wouldn't risk it at all, in fact i wouldn't buy any daily driver thing from ebay outside of like a phone case
Thank you for the replies. I will keep reading and researching. I bought a Motorola G Stylus (2021) just now, and gave up on the Samsung s10e. So far I have been able to get adb and fastboot working. Reading on XDA to figure the rest out.
Very popular brands (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Huawei, etc) tend to lock down their devices entirely. one can't just unlock bootloader from fastboot. beware of random guides, they often outdated or too broad.
before buying a device
- get confirmation that bootloader actually is unlockable (with regards to android version/carrier/branding etc)
- check community development is active (TWRP available? custom ROMs?)
you can do so by reading the proper section to device model on xda-developers
(if you can't find it, don't buy it)

about every phone is on xda, just that many don't have populated Roms and Kernels sections (ie: huaweis) so make sure it has 7-10.000 messages at least if you want a really good starting point
Nobody should buy an already rooted phone.
You should ever re-flash the full stock, format data and then, re-root the phone by YOURSELF.

Hi, do you have any specific model you can suggest? Considering the following:
I want to buy an android that I can root for sure, no matter how old it is as long as it runs Android 6 at least, I need it to be as cheap as possible, and I want to buy it in USA, compatible with T-Mobile carrier which is the one I use
I bought this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3F9BRF9 and it was compatible with TMobile but there's no TWRP or info on how to root it, so I'm seeking for some old phone that actually works and is rooteable. I want to run some experiments but I need root access.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I found several Samsung S7 on Ebay that could work, do you think it's a good match for rooting?

Please help me with this new Note 20 Ultra 5G I got!

Veterans of XDA and Samsung mobiles, please help!
I got myself a Note 20 Ultra 5G today! The model number is shown as SM-986U/DS. I searched and one site showed it's the Exynos model, whereas CPU-Z showed that it's the Snapdragon one!
Did I just buy a fake one? Please help me to find id it is an original one! The Store I bought this from, told me that it came from US but while the phone started, it did not show any US Carrier logo (like T-Mobile, Verizone etc.)
I am attaching the screenshots of About Phone page, please advise me if I need to post any other pictures for clarification! I suppose the IMEI is not necessary, right?
Please help and thanks in advance!!!
that model is for snapdragon variant, to check if device is fake or not plug it into pc and open smart switch, this will read the device info, if it does is real if not, must be fake
Thank you!!
Please give me some time to check it and then reply!
Thanks again!
Hi!
I got these when I connected the mobile with my PC by Smart Switch....
So, I suppose it is ok?
Please have a look....

As mentioned by @tutibreaker, it's indeed a genuine US Snapdragon variant of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. However, there are some points you might need to consider.
To be precise, it's a carrier model meant for Verizon, which has probably been SIM-unlocked for usage under other carriers. As you can see, the device is running on Android 12-based One UI 4.1. Without a Verizon SIM, you can't get OTA updates on it. As a result, it would be better for you to cross-flash a carrier-unlocked (i.e. SM-N986U1) firmware manually. That way, not only you can experience One UI 5 with Android 13 right now, you can also get rid of the underlying Verizon bloat and enjoy official OTA updates without messing with manual flashing jobs.
Well, thanks for pointing that out! I was really thinking why it was on Android 12 as I heard that 20 Ultra hot Android 13 and also there was no update showing...
I will take some time and read around the forum to get the cross flashing process right!
One more thing, there are actually no Verizone Bloats on the mobile. At least none thay I've found out yet. May be the guy who sim unlocked it, uninstalled all that. Anyway, I'll cross flash it once I figure out the process. Thanks again.
