Do you know this for certain? Samsung refused to release bootloader unlock for the past 3 phones claiming that it was in the carrier's hands, given some were and some weren't unlocked.

Either way having John Legere aware of this is helpful. If anyone could influence Samsung it would be a major carrier's CEO

And, we still need to be somewhat mad, heck even full blown still. He could have told them to leave T-Mobile's version unlocked. But, if we're not angry, then I don't think he'll care enough. A bunch of whiny tweets asking him to join our cause won't be as effective as us getting mad. Lol.

He is known for actually REALLY listening to his customers. He gets pretty ticked when things go wrong in his company.... IE returns out the wazoo and customers leaving tmobile.

Samsung is controlling the locked bootloader, as you know. Not just tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] TEKHD:
Samsung / T-Mobile... the result is the same... (can't root) we are simply putting pressure on T-Mobile... We can't do pretty much anything with Samsung... at least with T-Mobile we have a CEO with some sort of "listening" history...

People here already know everything... we already tried flashing TWRP and a Kernel a few days ago...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] MegaNoob:
So is anyone that knows what there doing actually working on unlock/root? Is there like an irc chat or something for the devs? I think that would be a cool idea so they could collaborate and we can watch them do there magic!

I Remer back in the day when I got my HTC g2, it was s-on . And there was an irc chat room where the developers that were working on a unlock method were bouncing around ideas and code, just helping each other. They finally found an exploit in that channel and made a program that unlocked the device. It was awesome to watch even if you had no idea what the **** they were talking about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] psych0r3bel:
I'm going to tell you what makes sense, and I've said this before. We're asking a corporation to move mountains. Do you think John is on the phone with Samsung personally about this issue? Hell no. I wouldn't expect him to be. As overpaid as the position may be, CEO is loaded with work, and you don't magically get more time to do these things because of your position. So, give it time. The guy said he's working on it. T-Mo support concurs. It's going to take weeks to months to get this done through Samsung, not days. Yeah, they released CROM unlock for China or whatever, but that's THAT issue, not ours. If we can tweak the tool to work for us, lovely. That's where our efforts should be. I'm not saying don't tweet about it or keep pushing, either. Alls I'm saying is it's still way too soon to expect Samsung or T-Mobile to have done something about this. Have some patience and plan for the worse, but don't lose hope. It's been a week.

As for the people who are using this as the deciding factor whether to keep this device or not: return your phone. They're not getting this done before our buyer's remorse expires, sorry. There's a better chance of a root exploit being found first. I've also heard mention of the possibility of T-Mobile offering some kind of incentive for anyone affected by this issue if they don't manage to get it resolved where we may be able to trade the S7 in outside of Jump.

But please, let's be grown-up about this. As a customer shelling out 800+ for a device, I can understand the desire to be pushy and want everything dropped to address this issue, but it's far from the most important aspect related to this device, and even further from the top of T-Mo's CEO's concerns. Hell, I myself am checking the forums repeatedly hoping to find SOME news of an unlock or root exploit, but it hasn't happened.

One of our first rules on XDA is not to beg for updates; to give devs time to work. Why should the same need not apply to T-Mo devs and engineers? It's common sense. One week in, one friggin week, and we're reacting like we've been waiting 8 months with no answer, trying to bring class-action suits and giving up all hope that anyone will listen or that this can be solved. Cmon guys. We're a smarter bunch. And I say we, because what we all post reflects upon every member of the community, not just the individual. It's time to grow up.

If you buy an $800 phone, the point is, in giving Samsung and/or a carrier $800 dollars, the phone is yours, and you should be able to do what the he'll you want with it... This is the equivalent of Samsung selling you a new 4k HD TV, and then blocking all resolutions above 480p, the phone is capable of way more than what they allow you to do, you own it, so you should be able to enable it to use every bit of its potential, not just the halfassed, battery hogging, bloat loaded, lag enducing cluster they rush to you as the next greatest cell ever... Their biggest fear is you not buying a new phone every year, because your unlocked, 3 year old s4 kicks the dog poop out of their stock unrooted s5, s6, and s7...

Gs7 is a nice phone but this really goes to show you that if you want to root N ROM Nexus really is the way to go. Back to using my Nexus 6. I must say aside from initial boot up time the phone doesn't feel any slower. I was really hoping that gs7 edge could a developer friendly phone due to having snapdragon. For me it's not about root, I want timely updates something Samsung wont ever deliver in this decade without it being a Nexus. I am really hoping the rumors are true that HTC is building 2016 NeXus

I’m gonna hold on to this phone until my rebate comes in, and then I will probably sell it and buy and international version if it doesn’t have root by then. I would rather have root than nothing. Sad day for Android root enthusiasts in America.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Ghost Dragon:
Could that be a possible root method because the reason the factory reset didn't work was because the apps that were installed were installed as system app and to install a system app you need some form of root so what I'm suggesting is a mirror server exploit to install su to system/app all we need is the server name that sent the apps to the device so it'll be like intercepting an ota

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] igotroot:
The LG G5 having a locked bootloader should not be an issue because LG has a history of providing an unlock method to its phone owners in exchange for no longer having a warranty. I have no problem losing my warranty because I'm going to presume I will be having handset insurance which will take care of me screwing up my phone by any chance. If that ever happens.

Hey man I did not call you a liar. I have T-mobile and I was just stated how my experience was. I had no bloat storm as it was all already on the phone prior to me inserted sim.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] brendan802:
See this video it is a sprint s7 you can see the model is 930p but it hasnt been sim locked. After he resets it the sprint logo isnt shown during bootup. Now the I have mine sim locked it shows the sprint logo after factory resetting even if the sim isnt in the phone or not. What I'm wondering is what else is the sim locking changing? The sim lock basically brands it as sprint and it stay that way regardless of what happens. Before it locked it reminded me of the international phones maybe it updates the bootloader? Sprint clearly did something different than what you guys have with the t-mobile phones. Yoy can also see the csc code as xas and my s7 wont go back it is stuck spr now that its locked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] chenxiaolong:
I believe that occurs because Sprint is the only US carrier that uses a multi-CSC ROM. All of the other carriers have single CSC ROMs.

We the people who develop apps frameworks (to use certain apps such as “xposed”) and/or custom roms (a custom rom can do a multitude of things such as save battery life get rid of unnecessary apps give you more space on the device kill unnecessary processes to speed up the device you can also make icons bigger or smaller so instead of a max of 5 x 5 per screen you can put 10 x 10 or whatever you want but this is just some of the specific feature that can be implemented when making a custom rom) for android devices are being infringed upon by the big corporations such as Samsung, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon. By Locking the bootloader it disables us from installing the necessary programs to be able to develop and test and in some cases even use the app/framework/rom we have made. Some of the programs that are a necessity to developing/testing/using the apps/frameworks/roms Custom Recovery (TWRP/CWM) to flash apps/frameworks/roms. Another item that's critical to the development process is the supersu to obtaining permissions needed to either modify/change/use the apps/frameworks/roms we have been making for years.
