I am wondering about security of Galaxy S6 (not Edge) bootloader. The goal is to prevent users to do any major modifications to the phone (boot custom ROMs, for example), so I have a few questions about this phone:
1. Some versions are unlocked by default, can I lock bootloader manually (and restore OEM Unlock option if missing)?
2. How secure is option "OEM unlock" in Debugging mode? If disabled, can user unlock bootloader in recovery mode with 3rd party tools or not?
3. Can Samsung phones be somehow secured to prevent OS reinstallation?
The best goal we may want to archieve is to prevent unauthorised persons to do anything with the phone without knowing the PIN, so the phone cannot be flashed with the new ROM and used again.
Thanks.
1-You can't
2-It should pretty secure on other brands but I'm not sure for Samsung devices.
3-Only Samsung can adjust it on bootloader.
On S6, bootloader doesn't allow custom (modded) bootloader flash, custom (modded) modem flash or repartition in any situtation.
But, if you turn on Google factory reset protection or Samsung factory reset protection, any root proccess or any custom (modded) kernel, any custom (modded) recovery, or custom (modded) system image flash proccess will be denied by bootloader. FRP is more powerful than OEM Unlock.
Hi Guys!!
I tried my rooting adventures again and found some more facts that can help community to attain stable root.
Whats available--
1. Magisk root.
2. TWRP.
3. V4A
4. Baseband.
Whats not available -
Untethered root with baseband and the ability to get into phone if not having a laptop/pc.
Now some facts-
1. Bootloader is one hell of a thing in this model.
If we unlock it, it would re-lock itself on proper reboot.To keep it unlocked, you need to hard reset the device by pressing power button for 10 seconds.The fun part is - if you boot with unlocked bootloader, it wont allow you to access baseband, and if you try to boot with locked bootloader, dm-verity will come into place and will lock you out.Even more funnier part is, on booting TWRP from bootloader, the bootloader will first unlock itself,boot twrp and then lock it self.(this is the part which helps us to attain tethered root with baseband.)
After many trials, i was able to get a boot image which had Magisk/Insecure adbd/V4A/Non-Encrypted Data partition/no dm verity on system partition.
Now , to get tethered + working baseband root,follow these steps-
First Time Steps.
1.Boot into fastboot mode.
2.fastboot boot twrp.img
3. wipe data partition.
4.reboot to bootloader.
5.fastboot flash boot magisk-boot.img
6.fastboot boot magisk-boot.img
7.enjoy.
When rebooting (for baseband)-
1. Boot into fastboot
2.fastboot boot magisk-boot.img
When rebooting (without baseband)-
1. Boot into fastboot
2.fastboot oem unlock
3. Hard reset by keeping power button pressed.
4. enjoy.
P.S. After every reboot done with baseband enabled, your bootloader will get locked and wont boot into the OS, until and unless, you either unlock the bootloader again / boot into magisk-boot.img from fastboot.
Working on fixing this issue.Will keep posted

I rooted my s7, latest version of 8.0 United Kingdom (g930fxxu4esae build r16nw.g930fxxs5esf6). I used TWRP and magisk.
All was well until I rebooted, then got the dreaded "custom binary blocked by frp lock". I was able to take the stock rom and install the AP file, and now it's working again except that of course root is gone. I suspect that if I attempt to root again, I will run into the same error on a reboot.
I've done some googling but haven't found anything really reliable sounding about getting around this problem.
EDIT: UPDATE: I've flashed the latest version of BTU on phones 1 and 2. I've successfully rooted phone 1 and it seems to be sticking. Phone 2 I'm still working on, it doesn't have to be rooted though as it's more of a backup for gaming. Thanks again to everyone in this thread for all the good advice and info.
You are going to have to re flash you current firmware unrooted and before you root, enable OEM unlocking in developer options AFTER setting up your google account(you have to use the same google account as you did before), unfortunately there is no way of force enabling OEM unlock with a flashable zip on the s7, well least to my knowledge. FRP lock is googles factory reset protection, which stops people from factory resetting a phone and then just use their google account instead of the one they don't know the password too, and it stops custom binaries like trwp from booting and even a stock binary that has been rooted from booting because it thinks you could be trying to bypass FRP.
Enabling OEM unlocking with disable FRP lock on the device, allowing you to use custom binary and boot normally without the checks.

Thanks for more great advice and info. It appears that now the requirements are:
Download the latest BTU as per your note because I like it better
Flash it to attain a "stock" system.
Go through the minimum setup after reboot and get developer options.
Set up google account
Enable OEM unlocking (and USB debugging of course)
flash TWRP
go into recovery immediately
Use TWRP to flash magisk
go back into download mode immediately
flash only the AP from the stock firmware
And this might, possibly, achieve root with magisk, while keeping the stock bootloader. That is, if I understand what TWRP and magisk are actually doing to the system. I.e., TWRP replaces the system part that handles recovery, while magisk roots the phone without changing the system, so that TWRP is the problem for FRP.
I have a pixel phone with hardware version status is PVT (Production Validation Test). Can I unlock & install twrp on this phone?
Pixel
Android 10
Build number

Thanks for your help
If you have a Verizon model then unlikely
If you have a unlocked one, go to Developer Settings and enable oem unlocking and usb debugging, reboot to fastboot then type: fastboot oem unlock. It will wipe your data so make a backup first.

Thanks for your answer
I look into bootloader yesterday.
It says
Product/Variant: Sailfish-US-PVT
Boot Slot : b
console: Disabled
Secure Boot: Production
Device is LOCKED
I can use any network on this phone
How about this info, is it Rootable?

It seems like you have a Verzion model, go to About Device, press Build Number 7 times and go back, you will now have a Developer Settings in the list. Press it and look for Allow OEM Unlock. If it grey out then unfortunately, your Pixel might not be unlockable. If its not, press it and reboot to fastboot. Open ADB and type: fastboot oem unlock . A unlock screen will appear and it will warn you about unlock the bootloader will wipe your data. Press unlock if you have made a backup of your data ( you can continue without making a backup ) or reboot back to android and make a backup if you want to keep your data ( any changes will be reverted ). After that, your device is unlocked and you could install twrp on it. Search google for how to install twrp on pixel since the way to install twrp on pixel is different than other devices.
Wait a second, have you ever factory reset the phone since the day you bought it?

Hey
Is there new 2023 methods to get rid of phone is locked screen? I enabled adb and removed kg lock. Upon disabling systemUI, the screen is blank, How can I manage to get rid of that lock by unistalling system app, or installing new systemUI and getting rid of the original one which is locked.

Install Odin on your camputeur and reinstall your whole system with it.
the A125F system firmware is at this link : https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A125F
To get to re install the system is not that easy. First no option to factory reset at recovery mode, then locked bootloader. If you can assist on the same, it will really help
give it back jamal
clarify

get into BROM Mode, use SP Flash Tool to flash normal firmware, then use FRP Bypass to bypass setup, then turn on OEM Unlocking, reboot to download, enable oem unlocking, reboot to download again, and flash TWRP, from TWRP flash a GSI or a custom ROM.

This may or may not work too, I have never tried this method before, but it looks fine for the removal of that screen. or in SAMFW Tool I think there is a MDM Bypass, if not then you can use SAMFW tool to bypass the FRP on that phone.
