1. They did define the "Software". You simply didn't read the whole T&C.

It specifically defines "Software" (which is why it's in quotes and capitalized through the rest of the document) as "its software, interfaces, documentation, data, and Content & Apps, as each may be updated or replaced by feature enhancements or other updates." That means "Software" is whatever is on the phone when you buy it.

2. No you don't need to be specific. Aintitcool has content. CNN has content. Android Police has content. Emu paradise has content. Android Central has content. XDA has content. OPM has content. WhiteHouse.gov has content. Facebook has content. If you go watch YouTube videos your consuming content. What that content is doesn't matter because it is simply 3rd part content.

3. Refer to the definition of "Software" in the T&C. "Software" is whatever came on the device when you purchased it. The T&C says you can't modify that "Software". We know that the "Software" enables your device to use the GPS to find your location. Without Android the GPS wouldn't function. So explain to me how installing Waze or Clash of Clans modifies the "Software". Does the GPS still work without Waze? Yes. Does the touchscreen still work without Clash of Clans? Yes.

Wait can someone please update me on the status of the bootloader?

OP doesn't really say anything about the status update of the bootloader D:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeza:
Why would someone that's your friend, who's also suffering the same issue you are (from having the S7 themselves) want a retainer for something that could potentially be "big"?

There isn't anything a lawyer can do in this situation. Apple has been locking down their phones since the dawn of time and no lawyer has stopped them. Sorry, but you won't get anywhere and are wasting your money if this is even real.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Nv1dia:
So You've shot down everything everyone on here has said for the most part WHAT are YOUR ideas?

If i buy the phone out right from T-mobile, or walmart... i dont sign their ToC do i? nope, so wheres my device access?

Also, You can't really define a word using the word..... Software is not software. You want to define what you mean you lay it out. this software includes the kernel, and the HAL and binary information used for the radio.. etc etc. but thats not important anymore. my points were made and i still believe them valid.

To be honest if Google really wanted to they could make android root only that'd completely screw over Samsung and all the carriers that lock down their devices I highly doubt Google would ever do that but it would be a big eye-opener for the Corporation side
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gdmlaz:
Google will never do that, Google owns Youtube and other programs that they don't want you to be rooted so you subscribe and pay them the monthly $10 for youtube red, Or pandora for pandora one, Etc etc, Big corporations don't want root since they try to push ads, or a monthly subscription for their services
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Ghost Dragon:
If you think about it Samsung has never made it's own operating system they modified Android source code which depending on how bad or good the new OS is they may lose sales or gain sales
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
The best we can hope for is a kernel root exploit. Reading over all the other threads on the Samsung bootloader lock.... all the devs, and big name experts in this business stated that the Bootloader has never been figured out, nor will it be in the future. The RSA 256 bit encryption that is used is not penetratable....

I'm getting 9 hours SOT. I don't turn stuff off like sync, or put it into power saving mode. I like to use my phone. I got 9.5 yesterday with 17 hours use. I'm keeping this phone regardless of rooting.

The only thing I can imagine is I took the latest update, and at that time I also stopped using Chrome and added an ad blocker to stock browser. Ever since then I have consistently gotten 9 hours SOT. Prior to that it was 6 to 6.5.

I have disabled basic stuff like some Google and tmobile bloat with package disabler. Nothing extensive though.

I'm planted. Love this phone.

Someone will find an exploit we just need to be patient. Im sure that there are other phones awaiting the same exploit we just have to play the waiting game. Last year it was something like 8 major exploits found hopefully this year is as fruitful and productive as prior years.

Lol man, tbh HTC left a horrible taste in my mouth way back in sensation Evo days. Being stuck on a sensation for almost two years killed me. Had it replaced 3times. I had the original source, and went to the sensation and issssshhh. Ithink kept breaking and I kept returning until they finally swapped it with an s2. Happy day that day was. Leagues ahead of HTC. There was awesome development for the sensation, but it was just subpar in every aspect. The m7 and m8 etc look nice but in the back of my mind I just can't get over it. Do you know how tons of people just think Twiz is disgusting? That's how I feel about sense. Although rooting and putting a cm based rom on an HTC is almost a must, whereas samsung I feel like cm is a downgrade almost. It's all me and my crazy ocd. I completely understand people's interest in HTC the devices feel really nice. Wish they were bigger and specd way heavier

Dude im getting sick of your post. STOP reading the DAM TOC it does not mean anything in a court hearing nor does a JUDGE give a flying fart what both parties want. You sit there and type this googled stuff and i think to myself is he for real? Like ARE YOU FOR REAL? I do not understand why you keep posting this non since you are pissing a lot of people off You really do not have the freedom of speech because it does not apply here YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH ON A PUBLIC FORM any and all post which are harmful and or not topic related can be erased with put warning have you read the TOS on the XDA websitre? i am exercising my right to ask you once more then im just going to report your post and i encourage everyone else to as well.

I am happy you know a lot of information that can be found on the interwebs until you show me your Bar Document im not listening to anything you say anymore. For those who do not know what that its how you become a lawyer each state has mandates and laws and regulations for it.

Can you pretty please stop posting and being a Debbie downer?

I really don't want to be a Debbie Downer because I REALLY want an unlocked bl but he is right. I have dealt with situations like this before. The Toc is what saves them from legal issues. You agree to it when you sign up for service with them. I do think it could be possible to get them on the trade laws thing but I still think that is doubtful cause it's the carriers choice. Im not going to tell you to not do this but I highly doubt this is going anywhere. I don't want to get in an argument but it's the sad sad truth.

Don’t be a douche. If you broke it, just man up and pay to fix it. Only when it hurts, does it teach us a lesson. Next time get upsie. $50 for two year insurance with $25 deductible.

I would get a good case now - you could use it and no one would notice it. Even if you fix it - use the case. No problem with the edge while handling it and it also may keep you from dropping it again - I almost did before I got a case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] brendan802:
I said that and I am with sprint and I had no sprint bloat and very few apps installed until that sim card went into the slot. I want so bad to prove this it isnt bullsh!t in the least bit. The only reason I stuck the sim in was for the VR free apps and my 12 year old son was with me and he got b!tched at because of the bloatstorm that started that night. The only way to get the free apps is to activate the phone he was dying to try the VR headset and without the sim it wouldn't work. I was holding out in hopes of stopping the sim lock that I read numerous articles about. If anyone knows of any sprint customers getting this phone ask them to take the sim out before starting the phone and do an app count and after stick the card in and you will see the biggest load of sh!t worthless apps being force fed to the s7. What would I gain in lying about this? Absolutely nothing and I may even order another s7 just to prove this is true to then return it and lose the restocking fees. My son knows very well what happened he witnessed it first hand and he is very smart with pc's and android he's had an s6 since launch last year. On his last teacher conference they were praising him for being such a huge help with pc problems the teacher had. I dont like how these forums are compared to sprint people are out for blood here over damn near nothing. I dont lie and I have no reason to do so. Enough said
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Tidbits:
Factory reset and turn on the device without a sim. Then put a simple in it and such. Post it up on YouTube
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
I had to try the CROM 1.0.4 - it installed but FC'd when I opened it. Did not expect it to work per the above, but this should be what we demand Samsung setup for this device. It really looks like it should be real easy for them to set one up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] brendan802:
Already did that once they are installed and its sim locked the apps stay and the sim lock stays. It already activated as sprint and stays as such. Thats the way it is and I know most probably wont believe it but it is. Im going to get another unactivated phone just to prove this as stupid as it is.

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

The crom apk needs 2 files libkwb.so and another lib file. It sets a flag that isnt even available on our devices and if you look at this thread it isnt looking promising for us. They need to push us a bootloader update that is unlockable but I doubt that it will ever happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] TSBroich:
Well I sold my Galaxy S7E, and ordered a Nexus 6P. I'm happy with this decision.

Now with that said, I do hope that everybody pushing Samsung and T-Mobile are successful in getting the responsible parties to cave. It only means good things for USA variants of Samsung devices in the future, and how this is all handled in the end will really show how they feel about their power users.

I think that either somebody will eventually post here with the exciting news that Samsung or T-Mobile came through for us, or with the news about a root exploit being discovered. Either way, that's cool. :D

I can get 6-7 easy with this phone. So 8 doesn't seem far fetched. Because I don't do anything to try and conserve battery life and like I said, I get 6-7 easy on a daily basis. Never had battery like this from any of my previous phones except for the iPhone 6 Plus and 6s Plus. I prefer Android but the battery life I get on those is just ridiculous. But the only thing I've done on my S7 Edge is disable the apps that I don't use or have been known to cause problems using Package Disabler Pro.

The only weapon you have is publicity - need to get to media that will get attention.

Once again - all we need from them is a working CROM app that works on these devices.

I just posted this on my FB page i am starting to move towards the publics eyes on this and explaining what we do.

Askdes John Legere T-Mobile Samsung Mobile USA please understand you are locking development of Android OS which is open source this is not taken lightly to devs #CROMunlock The developers of the community are coming together as one to take this head on we have placed a bounty to see if we can figure out the code to crack the #bootloadersgate.

#TMobile you might think we are blind but you have the KEYS to provide the customers a #CROMunlock which can be applied OVER the air update or pushed to us in an APK. Our Petition almost to 1600 signatures is growing as well the Media is picking up on this as well we are currently featured on 3 top tech blogs as a community we think its imperative that this be known in the world of mobile and that the #uncarrier is a joke anymore.

#TMobile The reason you have all your customers is because everyone left #Verizon and #ATT for you because you left the devices unlocked and allowed us to do what we love is to tinker and modify and make our devices better with out bloat bull****

#Samsung unlocking the boot loaders for the international version is a smack to the USA customers which we will figure this out we have many people right now working on this. You can tell us that you are speaking to your engineers however no updates for 3 weeks however we have made leeway in getting more info on how this is locked however we will figure out an exploit or injection of vulnerable code and or a backdoor and we will gain #root access to our devices we pay for!

We had this same issue on the S6 we found the exploit and we will find one on the S7. We create secure Roms and Mods for Android OS which is open source which you all are trying to close the doors to us. We will fight this. #xda #whitelisthackers #exploits #rootaccess #andriod #OS #xdadevs

Please share this post and this link we are gearing up as a community to fight the Carriers on this along with Samsung we need as much push

For people who do not understand anything i just stated. You know how your phone is slow? And it feels bogged down. Well we create new versions of that devices ROM which is the OS kinda like Windows and Apple. They have locked us out which means we have to deal with blogged down phones. The problem is Android is open force and is free so this is why we are so heated over this as well we pay for the problem is we are only 1% of the community whom understands this and we are trying to give more public aspect on this. The more people know the more we will have when we fight this.

We do have plans on fighting this and ensuring all DEVICE are EQUAL.

Yeah, it needs to be for wireless charging. I'm pretty salty. I tweeted Samsung to see if it was still waterproof but they haven't gotten back to me yet. A close friend that's a T-Mobile manager said Samsung would charge $200 to replace it. I was thinking about getting insurance before tomorrow (14 day period is up) and waiting a week or so then filing a claim. The deductible is $175 from tmo though.

Everybody needs to retweet in the morning. I think it's too late now ( as in he's gone to bed ).

We need a catchy # that emphasizes their akin to Verizon here. We should try and get the other carrier users to help us too--especially Sprint users. Tell them we'll ***** at whoever is the head guy of Sprint if they help us. Plus, a win for T-Mobile, if it happens may make the news on tech sites, which will make it way more visible to Sprint. Speaking of news, we should try and get some Android websites to spread word too. Write to the phone geek sites guys!
