Yo Beef, I got your quote and I agree to a point, but what we have to realize is this is a battle in a war. It may or may not be won this round, but we have to make as much noise as possible so it is amplified the next time someone makes a stand. We have been denied a certain freedom we want, and possibly, are entitled to own. So you can sit back, and watch others fight for a freedom YOU want, or contribute some knowledge. If you don't have that, contribute money. If you don't have that, say some encouraging words to the people who are putting a lot of effort into fighting for a cause. This wasn't specifically aimed at you Beef, but everyone who wants root, but is content to be negative and ride the coat tails of people who have the courage to fight a billion dollar company on their spare time.

The latest crom is version 1.0.4 and the one used on the s7 is 1.0.4 according to another thread that I downloaded the crom apk from. The apk's are the same so unless something different is happening behind the scenes its all the same. Their was an earlier version 1.0.1 and it opens on my s7 but fails after hitting unlock.

Something weird just happened.... I hit the Samsung Secure Server with my phone.... it shows an unlocked lock on the top left corner, and the phone rebooted on its own.... I don't know if the server shows an unlock because my phone is Sim Unlocked.... I don't know what that means, or why it just rebooted all by itself.... EDIT: Didn't do anything... SuperSU still won't install....

Yes. His exact words were "Working on the bootloader unlock, not something we can do ourselves."

did samsung JUST tell us that they locked the bootloaders because they were made specifically for carriers? If that were true, one might assume it was the carriers who asked for it.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] brendan802:
I believe they did. Sprint and t-mobile finally said lock them down and here we are today. I have a bad feeling that this truly is the case.

imagine the PR nightmare a lawsuit would involve if something like this got out... can you imagine what the headlines might read? If; even if it's a big if, samsung could have to pay a dividend to every person who bought a galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, imagine the money THAT would cost... chances are samsung would want to settle.. and what's the cheapest, quickest, and most discrete way resolve this? release a bootloader unlock and shut them all up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
I just went through all the S6 unlock bootloader threads.... I hate to say, but if T-Mobile, or Samsung doesn't help.... the best we could possibly hope for is a kernel hack with root. No one has gotten through a Samsung bootloader ever.... and all the top guys stated this in all the threads......

**********Rooting(modifying the Operating System) the device will void the warranty and sometimes it might not work normally if the device is rooted. ************ is Android open source?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
I find myself with an average of 1200MB free. Unlike computers, free RAM on a phone is wasted RAM. Samsung has gotten so good with memory management on the S7/MM that seen only a handful of app redraws when switching back after several hours. For example, I use the Hyundai Blue Link app once a day to start my car in the morning. On my Note5, it would get killed within 10 minutes of hitting background status. Even with TEK's ROM. Now on the Edge, it's yet to redraw on me in the week since I last rebooted.

Forgive me all for being off topic. However, there are a ton of knowledgeable people in this thread. Would someone mind telling me if our phones (not sdcard) is encrypted by default and if not where can I go to enable this. (options, lock screen security, other security options - I do not see it there). On my other phones I am used to it asking for a passwd before the OS would boot but this doesn't seems to be the case now? Thanks in advance for whom ever replies to me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Ghost Dragon:
I'm pretty sure that's a bios like function meaning the bootloader is unlocked by default and not locked/ requested to be locked by the carrier also the ROM on the device must have supported the function i personally have had no occurrences of a password before boot not to say it's not possible
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] goindef:
I've been trying to keep up with this thread every few days and I haven't seen anybody with this suggestion, so correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know if it's feasible. Unless I'm mistaken Google owns the Android operating system, Samsung has to obtain those rights in order of place that operating system on their phone. Couldn't we get a petition going for Google. It's quite clear that Google wants open source maybe Google could lend some muscle against Samsung forcing them to atleast offer an option to unlock the bootloader for those who want it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Tiffany84:
Is this what your looking for?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Nv1dia:
Actually, the way it works, *please correct me if I am wrong here* Google creates android and makes it free to use and change AKA *open source*. Samsung putting it on the phone is like Cyanogen making a phone and putting CMXX on it.. In otherwords, touchwiz IS a custom rom, it just isn't for most power users. The difference here is that while Touchwiz and CM are both custom roms, the software that *starts* the phone is not, it is proprietary and is created by it would be my guess... samsung. so samsung owns the rights to this piece of software and it's them who will provide any services for unlocking.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] brendan802:
Even being Googles intellectual property I am confident that they have no obligation to do any such thing. They have a set of standards that need to be met by each manufacturer and I guarantee that samsung is meeting them all. The best thing to do I think is to put constant pressure on samsung that people like us have a huge desire to have unrestricted access to the file system in its entirety. I just can't understand why they can't cater to our needs like other manufacturers have like HTC for example. They should offer us an unlock in exchange for our warranties and any technical support. They would save money just by offering us that since we can't bother them with warranties or the time lost with tech support. Then we would leave them alone so even more resources would be freed up. I really think that our fabulous government has some pull on this too with the constant surveillance and police state we basically have them monitoring all communications especially telecommunications and Internet.

Here's my take on the whole thing. T-Mobile did not re a request for the bootloader to be locked down; however, they did not complain about it until we expressed our concern. John Legere had no information about the locked down bootloaders. Once he found out he did the only thing he could do, and that was to get his engineering department involved. Now whether or not Samsung cares to help T-Mobile is doubtful. John Legere has told his immediate staff to find a way to make those of us who are still disgruntled a solution to make m as happy as possible. Samsung is huge, and I doubt they will ever buckle under any thing we attempt. However, John has provided a way that you his executive staff to provide a way to make us happy despite what the rest of the world unhappy

My VR has been shipped time to think about trading in for my note 5 i would suggest that everyone consider moving away from the s7 and s7 edge with in there return time if you have gotten the gear VR and there is no response and or update from tmobile you just played the system and got a free year and free VR. Consider my proposition and the long run 1400 devices it's going to be a loss for Samsung because they have to resell them as well don't have to referb them as we know refurbing loses almost half the value of the device Samsung just screwed themselves

Of course that may lead to a court session and depending on how many people we already have and how many people who will back us it *could* go to the Supreme Court and that result is a unknown even i can't see 100% if we win or lose it'll be a big money drain and an eye-opener for some people it will make a different type of division though instead of people on people it'll be people on Corporation I can't really see anybody siding with the corporation

I as well will be sticking it out. This device is pretty awesome. I started playing with root back on donut and eclare software lol.

My battery life has been the best I've had on any sammys devices so I can't imagine how much better it will be once we get root. I am with you I want the freedom to unlock the bootloader and root my device just as much as everyone else. If no root comes then I will switch to something else.

With over a day off charger with 8+hrs of screen on time it's hard to change. We'll see what the future holds for us.

1. The ToC does not define software, and software IS a vague term used to describe programing. You could say Apps and mean applications., or kernel and mean the linux kernel, but with your example, an e-mail does not apply in this situation, as t-mobile is leaving it to the reader to interpret WHAT is considered software in this instance. ARE they talking about their own software? ARE they talking about samsungs kernel? when you say E-mail you know what an E-mail is You dont have emails that do different services. The term software is vague, do you mean HAL software? Kernel software? OS software? ALL software? please be more specific.....

2. Content is ALSO a vague word. defined as 'things that are held or included in something' So when you say CONTENT you need to be SPECIFIC and define WHAT those things are.

3. You are plain wrong. You are trying to seperate hardware and software, electronics require both. for example, if i flashed new software to an xbox to run N64 emulators it was a modification was it not? This is the same for android, just because google, or T-mobile, have made it EASIER than the original xbox does not mean we arent modifying it. Rather, whenever we install an application we are adding functionality to the device. Without the software your GPS is nothing, without display or touch drivers your screen does nothing. It doesnt matter at what level the software is. Plain an simple, any change to the OS is a modification. its different than what was put in the box. and until T-Mobile DEFINES what modification IS, my point still stands, We have permission in T-Mobiles ToC To modify the device.

Not that you are wrong with the final statement,but i think there is something to be said about defining. 'such other third parties' is also not defined. You can't simply say in a ToC you aren't allowed to sue us for anything at all ever. If you could that's all a ToC might be, instead you need to define and lay out what things are and what you as a consumer is or is not allowed and them as the retailer is and is not allowed *specifically*. It's possible there is more to the TOC that does define 3rd parties, i have not read it in it's entirety. I'm merely trying to help with ideas to bring to the lawyer that ICE is speaking with.

Also, I don't think you are wrong in thinking it's a bad idea bringing class action against T-mobile, but I also don't think ICE is wrong for pursuing it. we could play *what ifs* and say T-mobile will want revenge, or we could think that T-mobile might do the opposite and be apologetic in hopes to avoid bad PR. You just never know what's going to happen. That's the fun in life = )

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] MegaNoob:
Oem lock is what locks you to tmo,sprint ect so you can only use the phone on there network. The bootloader is what let's you flash roms. If it's locked no flashing or root unless it's unlocked or an exploit for root is found.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] snobrdr2324:
OEM lock is referring to the bootloader. Android has had that toggle in the developer options for a little while now and it is for unlocking the booatloader on bootloader unlockable devices. Just because the toggle is there doesn't mean the boatloader is unlocked, its there to allow unlocking the bootloader on devices that are eligible, it just doesn't disappear if the device isn't unlockable.
