So Samsung is telling us to buy the international version.

Thank you Samsung for the locked bootloader. If not because of the locked bootloader, I may still buy a S7 after when you have done with the S6, where the battery is completely crap and next to no support (still no Marshmallow update). S6 will be my last Samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ice5192:
Samsung can go **** it self. Im speaking to a lawyer now guys. This follows under a class action now both companies are holding our devices locked and at hostage if i pay 800 for somthing i better be able to use it with out limited function as well samsung and tmobile are blaming each other we have enough evidence which will support our case as well my attorney has an s7.... this could get interesting. For sure. Ill post again once we meet. Yes i paid for a retainer he said this could be big. Hes a friend of mine as well and has worked many telco cases and technology cases in general.

PS both parties royally ****ed up when the didn't answer the petition
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] brendan802:
That refers to an exploit on kernel 3.18 and under we are at 3.18.20 so it isnt relevant to us unfortunately. If the s7 came out sooner then maybe it would have been possible but they patched it before releasing.

"Google has already shared patches for the flaw with device manufacturers and also published them to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for the 3.4, 3.10 and 3.14 versions of the Android kernel. Versions 3.18 and above are not vulnerable"

Nothing you can do same thing happened to Verizon and their bootloaders are still locked you can complain all you want only 3 options 1. buy a phone that can be unlocked 2.switch providers (which doesn't do any good) or 3. Enjoy the phone as is
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Android_noob17:
If this whole thing doesn't play out the way we want it to, you/we should consider contacting someone who's higher up ( I.e Google), and tell them to figure out a way to have security without compromising user usability.

That's the problem now, too many people settle for the crap these big companies throw at us. Give me one good reason why all phones can't be unlockable? There isn't one. The first two things you listed isn't an option for a lot of people, especially those who A). Can't afford to buy an unlocked phone outright B). Can't change providers because they only have one in their area. You said "Enjoy the phone as is", that's all fine and good, but I paid for the ****ing so I should get to decide how I want it and what I want on it!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] duvalbmarley:
Tmobile sells a lot of phones that can be unlocked so ppl do have options.. I also stated changing providers would do no good since every carrier in US has this phone locked..and if your not leasing the phone and paid outright for it just take it back get the international version which can be rooted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] OPGT:

I think somebody needs to read the T-Mobile Terms & Conditions. You do realize that you can't bring a class action against T-Mobile right?

http://www.t-mobile.com/templates/popup.aspx?PAsset=Ftr_Ftr_TermsAndConditions

You use T-Mobile. That means you agreed to the T&C.

By the way AT&T and Verizon both have T&Cs that say basically the same thing. That's why there were no class action lawsuits against them when they locked down their bootloaders.

You also can't go after Samsung because you didn't buy the device from them directly so they owe you nothing.

Actually you have to read the fine print when you are setting up your phone. They might have added an addendum in there specifying their right to lock down the bootloader.

If you buy a Ford from a dealership, and the car has a defect..... Ford is responsible for that problem, not the dealer.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] MechaMorph:
But the dealer is where you will drop off the car to have it repaired. No different here. In fact I just did this about 3 weeks ago. Wife was having issues with a Galaxy S6. It was a radio issue which made it hardware and covered by warranty. I walked into T-Mobile and walked out with a new S6. I didn't have to deal with Samsung directly.

The S7 isn't defective. There's nothing to go after Samsung with since they simply cover the warranty at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
The dealer is contracted by Ford to correct that defect. Which means Ford pays the dealer for the replacement parts, and the time it took to correct that defect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] MechaMorph:
Yeah. I know. It's the same with carriers and OEMs. The OEM covers warranty costs for the carrier when a defective unit is returned. So what's your point?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] v8dreaming:
I've read through some of your posts. All you ever do is post negativity. You want to run your phone 100% stock, unrooted? Fine. Quit trying to pick fights.

I know T-Mobile sells phones that can be unlocked. My point to you is, why should I have to buy a new phone so I can able to customize it to my liking? Buying a new phone shouldn't be the solution to the problem.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] duvalbmarley:
If you actually paid outright for the phone I'm assuming you did you can buy the same phone just get the international version if you got it on BOGO like I did..your on a lease and tmobile owns the phones.. they don't want you to modify their device it cuts down on customer service calls , network abuse, and fewer warranty cost.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] MechaMorph:
I've done nothing but post facts that are backed up with evidence. Now people are screaming class action lawsuit. Which legally we as T-Mobile users can't do (it'll get laughed right off the docket if it even gets that far). I simply stated that and backed it up with proof. If you want to ignore facts that's fine but it isn't negativity.

Getting overly emotional over a bootloader and making irrational decisions will only empower Samsung. Do you really think bringing a class action lawsuit against T-Mobile is a smart thing to do? I don't. The old saying "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" is pretty pertinent here.

So after speaking to with my buddie at lunch sometime next week when i am in indy i am going to stop by his office drop off the petition with the comments and significant ammount of signatures 56 pages fml going to need new ink.... lol then we are going to go over a few things and yes there NDA, TOC everything is solid however this is what we pay attorneys for to find loop holes etc. I would say if everything goes well with in a month i will be filing the suit on both companies. We have to do all the leg work before we jump into it. So even more traveling and more of time is going into this i cant thank you all enough for the support and understanding. On this topic some of you dont seem to understand im foghting this becuase i believe we are being screwed by trading laws and other regulations which are being voliated which the attorney knows about he is not some one who is just a buddy him and i went to UK and i graduated in engineering he graduated in law the point being is yes he is a friend and a friend who understands technology and he is super beer pong champ =)

I emailed John as well, and I just got a return call from a Danny Rodgers from the Office of the President thanking me for reaching out to them. He said that John had personally read my letter and asked him to call me. In my email I included Samsung's response that it was the carriers that requested the lock, and that they did not have a way to unlock it.

I also pointed out that Samsung has provided the Chinese market with a unlock method. He responded that John was indeed upset with Samsung's stance on this and they are still in the process of getting them to release a method to unlock the phones for those of us that want it. He also said they are exploring other options for those of us in case Samsung will not comply. He even went as far as saying that he was going to get this phone, but is holding on to his S6 Edge Plus to see how this plays out. He also mentioned a possible method to get a different phone without using a jump. I usually don't trust PR people, but I have a good feeling about this man.

If you or anyone is* interested in taking a look, these were the two versions of the apk from the chinese thread that was posted. There's another but I believe it's the same as the 1.0.4 apk. I believe were missing part of the app that comes preinstalled to alter the bootloader though. From the chinese guide I looked at it seemed as though they had a CROM on/off flag listed in download mode and we don't have that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jimmydee62:
I don't know about that

Please don't take it this the wrong way I'm right there with you because I believe that we should have an unlocked bootloader. The thing is even if they get served they have lawyers on retainer all year around so it doesn't cost them anymore then they are already paying them to go to court. If they loose then they unlock the bootloader but if they win we loose. They definitely have a lot more money to spend then we do so they will try to draw it out as long as they can to try to make us run out of money. So I hope what ever happens it is strong enough to force them to unlock it rather then us lose a lot of money in court. Good luck and i'll assist if needed..
