I am curious about one thing. What fw it works on up to which version/versions?..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
I think for the time being it's better we don't ask OP too many questions since it would reveal to Samsung what exploit he's using. If he told us what versions it works for it would be pretty easy for even me to pinpoint the exploit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jdidtht:
Oh no I wasn't asking for any info from op, I was just pondering outloud, my apologies if it came off like asking op for info. I don't want him to give out anything until it's done and ready. That's my camp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Gotroot:
Agreed best thing to do is relax and wait. Exploits can always be patched. I'm sure there will be good things soon. I personally been playing around with my box and notice a few points of interest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
No worries. OP seems to know what he's doing so I don't think he would reveal anything he knows could be used by Samsung in a patch.

Has anyone actually gone to their T-Mobile store to request a SIM & bootloader unlock?

I've heard multiple reports of T-Mobile CS saying people are allowed to request a bootloader unlock after SIM unlocking.

While it doesn't sound like anything T-Mobile would actually train its employees to do, who knows, maybe if you find the right rep it's possible?

Don't think it will really make a difference but I just emailed Leger as well.

"You tell people you want to help and that T-Mobile is the Un-Carrier. If that is true, can you help reverse the decision to lock down the GS7 with a secure-flash locked bootloader?

I have really loved T-Mobile but if this is the direction you are going to go, then I can't say that I will stay. Having unlocked bootloaders is one of the main reasons I am with T-Mobile. My account with three phones may not mean much but this is very disappointing.

I really regret pre-ordering the S7 Edge and this will be the last time I pre-order a device with T-Mobile. T-Mobile has always been known for having un-locked bootloaders but we now see this is not true anymore.

I am hopefully that you really do care about ALL of your customers and can help us out here.

Respectfully,

I'm so disappointed in these carriers right now. I've been with sprint forever and never worried about the bootloader. I have 8 days until I need to return the phone if I choose to, hopefully something is resolved. Otherwise, back to my s5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Bubba Fett:
Kinda feels like they created a uni-carrier instead of a uncarrier. Are you gonna keep your s7 or go back to the note?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] MechaMorph:
I love how all of you just assume T-Mobile is responsible with zero proof. Samsung is the most powerful Android manufacturer at this point. They want their devices to be as secure as possible in order to have people use them as company phones.

Samsung also doesn't a crap about those who want to root but companies do. Where I work we just moved to the Airwatch e-mail system. It looks for rooted devices and denies you e-mail if detected. That's why you're seeing Samsung do this.

So yeah I'd probably bet this is Samsung's decision and not T-Mobile's. What's T-Mobile going to do? Tell them no we won't sell the S7 unless you unlock the bootloader? Yeah that'll happen. Let's not sell what will probably be the best selling Android device this year to appease less then 1% of the user base. Not to mention how many phones will T-Mobile not sell? A few hundred? Yeah they don't care.

This was always the end game with rooting and custom ROMs. It just needed to an OEM with a lot of clout to start doing it. Samsung has probably fired the first shot and now the question is will other OEMs start doing the same?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Bubba Fett:
Uh, isn't the rest of the world able to root? I could be misunderstanding that aspect. So we should be passed at Airwatch. I hate them soooo much

Any sort of flashing requires an unlocked bootloader. Even if we get full root, you're not flashing anything with a locked bootloader. And it now seems extremely unlikely that this bootloader will ever be unlocked.

So far, less than 3,000 people signed the petition.

Out of how many sold? So let's show them who's boss and stop supporting Samsung!!! Let's show them that our <1% of sales matter!!! (sarcasm)

Seriously people. Nobody here cares anymore about who's going to buy the next Samsung device. Not even Samsung. Just go and be on your way. We've all said it, we all think it... some of us might even do it but either way we'll all end up living our lives with or without root whether it's on Samsung or on a different device. Seriously, nobody cares if anyone buys another Samsung phone or not. Not even Samsung. Otherwise, they would have done something to appease us, don't you think? Our shouting for root is just a whimper in a crowd of applause of the non-rooters.

I've rooted every device I've ever owned. Even my Gear 2. I didn't think that I could go without root until owning this device. Sure not a day goes by that I don't log on and look with hope but only met with disappointment. Yet... I feel that I've been wasting my time and hoping for the impossible. I have been asking myself for weeks now, "Do I really need root? Which is more important to me? A good Samsung phone or root access on a mediocre one?" Honestly, I like Samsung. I have a Samsung TV, I have the Gear 2, I have the Vibrant, S4, S5 and now S7 Edge. More than likely, even without being able to root this or any future Samsung phones... I'll probably still buy it. Why? Because even without root, it's still a damn good phone! But hey, to each their own. If root really means that much to you, get a phone with root access and be happy. That's my advice. Sooner you do the sooner you will be happy and stop wasting your time waiting for root to happen when in all reality it probably won't be happening soon. Even if it does, it's certainly not guaranteed for you in the future.

In Q1 of 2016 Samsung Mobile reported $.3.38 billion in profit. That's billion with a "b" and in US dollars. Your 3000 votes account for roughly 0.07% of Samsung mobile division's total profit, and that is using just your numbers above, which are extremely inflated.

It's cute how many people here think their vote actually matters, but to echo the excellent post above, nobody cares. Least of all Samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
Actually i believe this number is higher than 3,000. Probably double because of the silent minority. I wouldn't spit in the face of almost $5 million....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sputnik767:
You may not, but Samsung clearly is. And I suspect they know exactly what they are doing. Losing 3,000 customers or even 10,000 customers is a drop in the bucket compared to how many corporate or government customers they can gain with a secure device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
I'll never waste another buck on a Samsung phone..... and I'm sure I'm part of a big crowd who feel the same. I'm totally disappointed with this phone. My G5 runs way faster, and the wifi sucks on this phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sputnik767:
You are free to spend your money as you please, that's why competition in the market is great for the consumer. The point is not that you should continue to buy Samsung devices, the point is that nobody cares whether you do or don't. Do what makes you happy, just don't delude yourself into believing that you are sticking it to the man. You are in fact part of a big crowd that shares your opinion. The problem with that line of thinking is the enormous crowd that doesn't share your opinion. And Samsung's quarterly profits clearly indicate that they have a solid device on their hands. You will never please everyone, but they clearly chose to please the majority over a tiny minority. And I can't blame them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] goblue30093:
i'm still holding strong with my S6 edge. I refuse to upgrade to the S7 edge without root. Sucks, but that's where I'm at right now. Unfortunately there aren't really many options out there for really good flagship phones. It's pretty much Samsung, LG and Nexus. I'm not a fan of LG's although i do give them credit for trying something new with the modular thing. I wouldn't mind Nexus, but to buy a Nexus right now would be dumb since a new one is probably around the corner.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Lmax579:
I heard the oneplus 3 is nice and Moto X... I just got the HTC 10 and even though it does not compare to the S7, at least bootloader can be unlocked and there very good ROMS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
Exactly the points that I was making. If Samsung really wanted us to have root (or at the very least didn't care) they wouldn't have tried so hard to prevent it in the first place. Samsung is doing what THEY feel is best for them and MAJORITY of their consumers. Are we (XDA) the majority? Not even close. We're large enough that they've heard of us but don't think for a moment that what we want matters to them. If anything we have their attention by proving how good of a job they did locking this stuff down! Well done Samsung! That's all they're getting from us. Not our begging, pleading or complaining. They are patting themselves on the backs! That is... until we find a way around it. Then they'll tirelessly look for means to patch it up and push us back to square one.

Now if you're not up for that then get another phone. All of your complaining isn't going to do anything. Else, it would have been done by now. Right? I mean, if they patch exploits within weeks or even days after it being reported then I'm certain that they would have worked something out by now.

The fact that they haven't should be evident that they probably won't. But that's just my theory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] zathus:
I've excepted no root and moved on. When the next nexus comes out I'll probably get that.

I don't miss root for any logical reasons. I just like to tinker. I miss that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] OuncE718:
The only reason I want root is because once Samsung abandon this phone (by lack of software updates or slow updates) the dev community will pick up where Sammy left off and keep this phone alive.

Admittedly, this is the first phone that I've owned that runs so well that it doesn't need root. BTW I've owned just about every Nexus phone in the past, G series from LG and HTC M series as well. Kudos to you Sammy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Binary100100:
Hopefully we'll have something by then.

But of course that will mean less people immediately jumping to purchase the next big Samsung device. So even then I still suspect that Samsung is going to make it difficult for us.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sputnik767:
What you are talking about is a bootloader unlock, which will allow you to flash ROMs by other developers and perhaps "pick up where Sammy left off." This will likely never happen. Root, in the terms of an iPhone jailbreak will probably happen eventually, but it will not allow you to do what you are looking for.

For the record, none of my previous Samsung devices (S3, S4, S5, and now S7 Edge) have needed root for performance reasons. Ad blocking was nice and the Sprint hotspot hack was nice as well, but the devices performed as well as could be expected for their time. Root, custom ROMs and kernels have never improved performance or battery, in fact it made it worse in most cases.

My thinking is this: everyone should have more important things to do with their lives than devote the enormous amount of time you need to tinker with phones. Root will probably come eventually, then you can install an ad blocker and call it a day. But even if it doesn't, I can easily make it through a 28 hour call shift at work on a single charge with regular use, and still have battery life to spare. I have no complaints.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] OuncE718:
Doesn't root usually come first and then an unlocked bootloader? I would like root because it allows the devs to do WHATEVER they want to their rom aka NO restrictions.

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

Depending on how Sammy treats our updates then I'll either stick with or go with the Nexus line of phones. I love my Galaxy S7 Edge right now.

I'm at the beach and as I was heading into the water my mother in law said "I'll hold your phone so it doesn't get damaged", I said "this phone is water resistant, I'm good". Lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sputnik767:
Unfortunately no. Samsung phones have been traditionally rooted via flashing an unsecure boot image and installing root via the unlocked bootloader. This is different with the S6, which I believe has been rooted but never unlocked.

And again, what you are talking about requires an unlock of the bootloader, not a simple root. Without an unlock, there can be no custom ROM and therefore will be no devs working on custom ROMs. As it stands now, any ROM has to be signed by Samsung to be flashable.

The best analogy here is a Jailbroken iPhone. You can do whatever you want within the framework of the installed iOS with a jailbroken (rooted) iPhone, but you can't install a different version of iOS or install a modified version of iOS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sputnik767:
Nice job on the selective snipping of my quote, because if you included the entire quote, it would be obvious that I was talking about my specific devices. See how I even put that thought into it's own separate paragraph in that post, so as to make it obvious.

And let me reiterate, every custom ROM and kernel that I have ever tried on any of my previous devices made performance and battery life worse. That goes for both stock based ROMs as well as AOSP. Your mileage may vary. But it's hard to take someone seriously when they misrepresent something I said and then tell me that my own experiences are wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] v8dreaming:

Sorry buddy you selectively snipped a quote, out of context, to make it fit your narrative, when that narrative is contrary to the actual thought. That is in fact a misrepresentation.

I said that root, custom ROMs and kernels in my devices have never given me performance or battery benefits. You made it sound like I was making a blanket statement about root, custom ROMs, and kernels in general.
