I've tried looking around online and whatnot and have asked many people (even going as far as to email Samsung's team in hopes they might help out somehow) but I always end up back at square one. I genuinely doubt that it's impossible, but I don't know where else to go or what else to do. Does anybody know of a device with a similar situation that I might be able to work a method off of? Perhaps another Samsung device previously thought of to be "impossible to unlock" that I may learn something from? I'd really love to be able to unlock and root and flash this device, as its hardware is quite nice and fast: it's just unfortunate that it gets stuck with OneUI (I know everyone has different opinions on the matter, but I just really don't like Samsung's OS, personally).
Any help or guidance or advice - no matter how small - will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Realme RMX2155 was previously thought to be not unlockable for awhile but somebody ended up cracking it via editing firmware files via hexeditor and some other stuff. Eventually, somebody found an even easier exploit. It's not quite the same as the A53, which is why I'm asking if anybody has any ideas. Tons of unofficial methods exist for different models - some easier and some more difficult. If everybody thought that an official method had to be the only way, I'm near-certain XDA forums would be mostly dead with only a few device-forums active.
I've asked on here previously about unlocking the bootloader for my A536U, but it really went to dead ends. The best asset to cracking these devices is time. Just be patient, someone may find an exploit soon.
Although, finding an exploit has been done for phones, I read years ago that someone who did that for one only got it by chance. Its not easy.
Anyone however can sell it or trade it in and buy a device that's unlockable. Much easier.

Hi all,
I've been quite happy with my TF300, but after RMA (like many, many, MANY before me), there's no way to unlock the bootloader. I know there have been numerous threads here on XDA, and they all end in "It can't be done, unless you have some sort of genious working for you". So: I went out and got myself a genious!
Dan J. Rosenberg, The one who unlocked the Moto bootloader, made -through motochopper- root available for our RMA'd TF300's, the genious himself. I've been in touch with him through e-mail, and basically he's more than willing to have a look at our bootloader. For him it's just another hobby
...But... I'm not a dev in any sense. I'm just a user who wants freedom when it comes to his purchase. And now the e-mails get technical. So I need your help, my dearest XDA'ers!
Here's the e-mail I received from him:
"I'd be happy to take a look at your bootloader, but I can't make any
promises, since it's entirely possible Asus has implemented the unlock
process in a cryptographically strong way that is impossible to bypass.
Would you be able to pull the boot partition from your device and send
it to me? Let me know if you need instructions on how to do this."
Is there anyone out here able to help me out??!
I guess if there is ANYONE out there who can do this, Dan is the man. Let's do this!
If your tablet went through RMA you can't unlock it? Seriously?

Our bootloaders encrypted which is probably what he means.
Also the bootloader has changed from version 4.0 to 4.1 to 4.2!
It would be interesting to find out if you can do a brute force attack to try and work out the keys.
Let me first start by saying. I'm sure alot of people will find this annoying but after searching countless forums on various sites all across the web I can't find a definitive answer. Has the Verizon Wireless SCH-I535 4.4.2 I535OYUDNE1 3.4.0 Kernal Bootloader been unlocked? Most posts I see are several months old and some people say no one cares and there will never be an unlock, others claim it's in the works, some claim it has been done but I can't find a link or posting stating without a doubt it has been done and how to do it. So my question to recap is ( Has the locked bootloader successfully been unlocked? If so where can I find the instructions on how to do so?) I did successfully manage to root and grant SuperSU but then wound up getting the ! Yellow triangle of death and had to re-flash stock. I have a great deal of stupidity when it comes to newer tech but have thus far enjoyed tinkering and feeling around in the dark to learn. After all "Discovery requires experimentation." Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out. Or just give me a straight and certain answer.

Straight and simple answer - no, it has not been unlocked and likely never will be unlocked.
Balls! That sucks. Damn Verizon. Should've guessed as much. What did I expect? So many people praise them but I get ******* service everywhere I go. And I live in a major US city. Thanks for your reply though. I'll stop holding my breath. I do have one last question. I've seen posts of people flashing CM11-12 on the SCH-I535 does that include the Verizon 4.4.2 or not? I assume it doesn't but in the off chance it does would you provide a link to the relevant manual? Thanks again.

If they are on CM there bootloaders are unlocked. And no that does not include those who took the OTA to 4.4.2

I just want to know if anyone has found a root method for the V10 H900. I have looked under every rock and nothing so i am just curious as to if any has found one at all. I also want to know if anyone has figured out how to access the tethering. My phone is factory unlocked and I am using a different carrier and when I try and turn it on and it keeps trying to make me contact AT&T to pay for it.
No root on MM and probably there won't be

well then maybe it's not worth trying to figure out a way with the people I've been working with. Noted, I'll keep it to myself once i get it to work.
What accessory are you using for this? lol

If you figure it out and share, I'd be willing to donate for this as I need to unlock wifi tether. I messed up and bought an unlocked ATT phone to be used on a different network. I should've investigated before buying it, but never expected the community to be this dead for such a good phone.

Abine...many threads in the forums all repeat the fact that achieving root on our H900 will be impossible unless a way is figured out, or ATT helps, to unlock the bootloader. In your comment above, it states that you've been working with some people, and none of us know who they are, nor is that our concern or business. But, are you close to getting something that will work on our phone? Would you mind sharing with the hope that others will assist and benefit? MANY of us are eager to root this phone, so you will not be short of helpers or testers.
So, I finally laid down the fat stack for an S7, and I went with Straight Talk because I'm not big on contracts. I was itching to throw a rom on it right away, but it looks like there is only one that may be compatible. I'd settle for root though and went about my research. Eventually, I settled on trying to follow this thread, as it seems to apply to pretty much any variant.
Now, my question is, if I were to follow this method and successfully obtain root, I know my phone will show up as a G930V, but will I still be able to use my Straight Talk service on it? Also, any other information pertaining to my situation would be much appreciated, in terms of root and any roms. I know most people say it's overrated nowadays, and mostly unnecessary, but I want to tinker and I like having complete freedom over my device.
Sorry if this has been posted before, but after many hours, I'm still a bit lost in the web of information. Two variants, and multiple carriers, two different boards, MM/Nougat, etc, etc. I'd just like a bit of clarification, thanks a ton!
EDIT
It would seem this thread is what I need to follow to obtain root. I'm still open to any thoughts or suggestions, but I guess my main question is will my Straight Talk account still work if I use this method?
Or would I be better off following this tutorial?
Thanks again!
Nothing huh, nobody knows, or even has an idea?
Hmm.

Yes, sometimes there is a paucity of folks knowing, and then being willing to respond. Hope you got it figured out.
I'm a noob at programming and I want someone to make an exploit to root SM-G950U on Oreo. I got this phone on ebay and it was on Oreo when I got it and I can't downgrade. Please, I had a rooted SM-J327P and it was cool but this phone has way better specs. I didn't get to do some things on that phone because it got stuck in a boot loop and I couldn't fix it. My software version is G950USQS3CRE2. I know it will be difficult but I was told that it's impossible to stop a hacker by a family member who is good at programming. I can't take people being defeatist saying "It's impossible." If my dad who's good at programming says it's possible, then it's possible.
No one replying
Why has no one replied yet? Is it because people just started working on the exploit when they saw my post so it's not finished yet or are people just ignoring me? I hope it's the first one because I don't like to be ignored. I might be able to give suggestions as to what the exploit could look like. Here's one. We could try to bypass the fuse checks like with hekate on the Nintendo switch.
Respectfully, search the forums. There is as of yet no way to root Oreo but the devs are working on it. And please have a bit more respect for those who spend countless hours working on it who'll make it available to you FOR FREE. Do what I did and make a donation out of your appreciation. Perhaps if they charged for root methods, you would have a bit of a different tone.

The root method was patched there is no root past rev 2 bootloader and more than likely wont be. If you want root get a root friendly device.
