First of all you spamming their Twitter only got you the, "No" that most people with common sense already knew the answer was. The boot loaders came locked, whichever company that locked them will remain to have them locked down. As they chose to lock them down for a reason.

I'm not talking crap, I'm just saying maybe choose to put your resources elsewhere. Just like your class action lawsuit, which I am 100% for!!! I don't know how you misinterpret what I write as the me being on T-Mobile or Samsung side. All I'm saying is the social media war will do nothing. It may provide you some answers, but it won't provide the solution. Basically just like the real world, don't ***** and complain for an answer, go out there and find it yourself! (Which you are doing with the lawsuit)

You can complain all you want to your favorite actor on Twitter to be in the new upcoming blockbuster movie, but if the director doesn't want him in it, he won't be in it.... You'll end up seeing him in a Bollywood type movie instead.

You act like I'm against achieving root or something.. I've actually looked at the code quite a bit within the past two weeks, how much have you looked at it? At least I'm putting my brain to use on that instead of a Twitter war.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Far2great:
No, never actually came out askdes or john mouth...we can't jump to conclusions....until they say or confirm they will not support a solution i will be 100% with u but until then the tweets and wars can continue which i will support and keep on looking at the codes...hope you find whatever your looking for
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
The class action might not get very far in the end, but if you can get into the national public media that is is being filed - that might get some results.

I would hit Samsung the hardest, since their business is not progressing very well per other posts. Alos, they would be able to handle it the easiest as for any solutions.

Good luck with it.

The lawsuit will probably have two main effects, positive and negative. The legal dept will stop all commenting about the bootloaders, same with Samsung. So that means you will be our only information about the status. Secondly, I hope this is what happens, the lawsuit will motivate their asses and get public attention.

I want to believe that an exploit will be found, but it took 2 years and a lot of luck for the S5 Bootloader to be unlocked. Qualcomm is advertising how secure the boot loader in use on the s7 is. The slow progress on the twitter war has sounded more promising to me than any suggested exploits I have read about. It seems like most people who know what they are talking about acknowledge that a bootloader unlock exploit is extremely unlikely, maybe one every few years. That being said crazier things have happened and there could be a new geohot working silently in the background.

As well they gave me a credit on my account. I am not going to sit here and argue with people i will do what i have been and we will go from that. I do not have time for ignorance.

I have't had any issues with my Spigen Crystal Neo Hybrid - works great - the one thing I did learn is unlike previous phones had to put the case on the phone by putting the TPU bumper on first then adding the metal frame after - and it works great for me - no lifting of the screen protector on my screen.

Currently using a '3-d Pet Screen' protector from ICAREZ which is the closest thing I have been able to find to a GLass Screen protector that looks good. (off subject, but I found that all other Glass screen protectors - the "colored ones" - all look like crap and work even worse. This screen protector is clear - has the distinct feel of glass and is thicker than the usual pet screen protectors - with curved edges which fits nicel on the s7 Edge. sorry or going off topic....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Josh McGrath:
Agreed. I believe but not sure that it costs money to ask for locked boots and now that tmobile is making lots of money that's exactly what they did.

I don't see this getting resolved, ever. I got lucky and had a bad s7 from the factory that I sent back. Then I got the g5 after confirming the boot was unlocked. Traded in my great v10 rooted and now there is no tool to flash recovery to the g5 since LG removed fastboot commands. I'm not happy with tmobile right now

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Josh McGrath:
Yup. The only reason I am putting up with this g5 is because team codefire released a video of them rooting with twrp to be released "soon" .

The bootloader of the Verizon Note 4 just got unlocked today. Has anyone had a chance to look at that method and see if it would be a good place to star for our device.

Video of the process

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
One problem I see is if the phone goes into bootloops.... we can't remove the battery. Although I believe there is a combination of buttons (volume + power + home) that will act as if the battery was pulled.

Also.... I have been playing with the date on the phone. I turned on airplane mode, and changed the year back a couple of years. Seems the security programs on the phone start to have some issues because they were created after that year. Knox also was a problem going back further. I thought I almost bricked my phone when Knox was affected.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Fenny:
This uses the eMMC exploit. We do not have an eMMC, and there is, as far as I can see, no code in the aboot that would allow us to set a condition that would unlock the bootloader without "unburning" the efuse that locks the device in consumer mode. Since unburning an efuse isn't a thing, we'll have to either wait for a signed version of aboot that has such a condition, or find another way.

This is going to expend and explode we just have to wait... If the note 6 is like this im done with samsung for good and i will return every single device of theirs i have 8 other samsung devices which i dont use anymore i will sell them all and start a mass media frenzy on them.

I asked all the Samsung reps this question when I discovered this (even though I didn't know it was already found). The question is: why the U.S carrier? Also, that's my point, it is all. It's Samsung that's doing it so why not edit your OP or something and get people to tweet Samsung AND tmobile. We can see results faster (maybe).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] StrumerJohn:
Samsung doesn't care. They won't lose enough money or enough customers to care. Of all of us, while many upset, not enough are upset to return their phone and boycott Samsung Mobile. T-Mobile itself doesn't really care either, but John Legere might since he's so anti Verizon, anti carrier, and a loud mouth (who also can't resist replying to people on Twitter---even fighting with them haha). He's our only real hope at getting a quick solution. Samsung will respond to him quicker than us and he will respond to us quicker than Samsung.

From history, Samsung have shown to lock the bootloader at carrier request. I highly doubt they made this decision on their own initiative.

Thank you, a.cid for the article!

I don't use Twitter, and I think what I wanted to say is too long to fit in a tweet anyways.

I've been with T-Mobile (VoiceStream) since January 2000. My family has spent about $300 - $500 every month on the 5-user family plan for the last 16 years. We've upgraded our phones every 2-years (3 Androids and 2 iPhones). I don't know if I'm a typical customer, but I'm sure I'm a typical XDA member who is upset about this situation.

That being said, I think I'm going to just return my S7 Edge quietly. And wait for next Nexus phone and switch to Project Fi without letting T-Mobile know why. I think people like me are called "silent majority". We don't voice opinion or complain too much. But in the end, we control the outcome of things like election or market demand in this case.

BTW, you guys think Samsung won't listen to you because losing our business won't hurt their revenues? Yeah, I guess that kind of attitude is killing their smart phone business. They used to be the number one smart phone maker. Not anymore. And bunch of Chinese makers are right behind Samsung.
