The type that will deviate from the question to strangers to keep his job and retirement/401k. Just like any other normal human would do if they were in his shoes. They are just waiting for our fire to die out to tell us "No". Once a month or two passes, and people that are THAT dead set on unlocking the device end up returning or switching to a different device, THEN we will hear our forbidden "NO its not happening" from T-Mobile/Samsung. Why should they piss off 5000+ people, when if they wait it out they can deviate and once half those upset customers switch/return/calm down then tell the remaining >5000 it wont be unlocked. That way a lot less people will get offended/upset. THAT'S HOW BIG COMPANIES DEAL WITH STUFF LIKE THIS. It's a PERFECT business moto if you ask me!

This is EXACTLY what they are doing folks! Take it from someone who works in a very BIG USA company.

Don't get mad and say I'm a Debbie downer, talking garbage or whatever. I know it's not what this board/thread wants to hear. But its the reality of it guys/gals. We are being strung along for them to eventually tell us no.

I didn't mean to sound like I was being rude to you. I can promise you though, this is what they are doing. But hey, who cares once a better phone comes out right? It's not like we'll own this phone and be locked down till we all die.

could you inform others were you get 50 dollar insurance from?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Casetheace:
think the best way to get any answer of anykind from tmobile is when they are on the phone and have no way out of the question. Now you might say how the hell is that possiple idiot?? Well 4/26 is the date tmobile reports earnings, at 4:15 that day they have a earnings call which anyone can goto there investor page and listen to the call. During the call you can ask the operator to ask a question but i doupt they will take one from any of us. .But im sure they will or have to take calls from any of the covering analyist from the buy or sell side of the stock. Shortly I will be posting the list of who these people are and how to contact them. I believe the sell side covering people would be the best to contact and continue to cause there looking for negatives to begin with.

I did contribute... The truth.. Sorry if it's not what you or someone else wants to hear, but you can continue to fill yourself with false hope that T-Mobile or Samsung will fix this for us. Again, as I said to someone else earlier, I didn't mean to offend you and apologize if I did. I just told you how my company would/has handled similar things to this. And I see the exact same thing happening with this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RusherDude:
This is really interesting and what should take the focus here, by far. That is the shortest path for unlock.. before they patch it.

You both are acting like children. There, argument over with. Now that the argument is over, you both have the opportunity to contribute something useful, instead of this petty bickering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] magoo5289:
Fixing it code level would be actually quite simple. Just rem out the secure signature check function and push the new file as an OTA. Done.

It's an easy fix when you have access to the keys and source code. They probably don't want to go this route as it may lead to an unlock method for at&t and Verizon. My guess is they don't care. They got our money for the phone, people leaving the service over this are most likely an unnoticeable hit to revenue, and unhappy people who decide to live with it (myself included here) will use JUMP! when the next Nexus comes out and hey guess what? More revenue from phones sold! Kind of a win win when they already have your business.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mocsab:
The reality of it is - things don't happen on our schedule just because we want them to - they happen when they happen because things have gone thru the proper channels and everything has been approved by those who make the decisions.

Possibly the most important thing is none of us really know the reasons the bootloader was locked in the first place - I read an article (linked to in this thread back around page 124ish) that there could be security reasons related to all S7's - it implies that maybe all phones that have a Snap Dragon 820 processor have security issues and if that is true, this would have to be fixed and dealt with before anything can happen - we just dont know. We can cajole - get made and scream - swear - put each other down for having an opinion - jump up and down on our soap boxes - and we still don't know why - when or if - what we do know is that we can only wait and hope for the best. Those of us who want to turn in our phones will - others will keep it - some will buy G935Fs (which is not locked - maybe because it doesn't have secruity vulnerabilities? Just guessing) and some of can try to sue - but at the end of the day - the S7 will still only get unlocked when samsung gives the word - and that will happen when Samsung is ready to do it. (Even if a lawsuit wins - does anyone have any idea HOW LONG it takes for those things to roll thru the court processes? Years and years - none of us will be using S7s by the time that happens - look, I care - and I want an unlocked bootloader - but I won't attack Samsung or T mobile for locking the Bootloader until I KNOW the reason why it was locked. I will make my choices and do what I have to do for me -just like everyone will do what they need to do for themselves. I will probably get yelled and told to go away for having an opinion - sorry if I offended anyone it was not my intent. Just trying to take a reality check.

The Chinese version has the Snapdragon 820, and it's unlockable..... another theory shot down......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] v8dreaming:
There is a bounty thread. It's being worked towards from two sides. It doesn't matter what side it comes from, neither is a waste of time. Saying we are wasting our time is saying we are going to fail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] the Doctor:
I don't think that's the case. In the XDA article on this issue, they surmise that the problem is needing greater security for Samsung Pay. That makes a whole lot of sense since many people have all of their financial information on their phones now, and soon there will be even more.

Also, we've been seeing security becoming increasingly important to both Android and Samsung. The reality is that the vast majority of consumers are demanding it--they don't want to be spied on through their phones or have their financial data stolen. Qualcomm and Samsung are just following where the market leads. And we've known for a while that Samsung is trying to break into huge business and government accounts that require tighter security which before were completely dominated by Apple. That's one of the reasons they created Knox.

Now if they would just make super tight security an option without forcing it down everybody's throats... Like making the G930F/G935F legitimately available in the US without having to go through resellers in other regions.

That doesn't answer the question. Can you point us to a post or a thread, maybe something on reddit? I've been all over the S7/S7 Edge forum and searched Google. I see nothing about the Chinese version being unlockable.

Looks like the thread will ne cleaned again this is ridiculous everybody really need to stop fighting over it this. Nobody knows what's going to happen we will continue to keep going people that don't like it will continue to State their opinions and their threads will be removed because it is off topic and it's not needed the morale on this thread it's supposed to be happy and we are supposed to be keeping our Twitter and Facebook and showing images and or linking stating that we are needing unlocked bootloaders for the bootloader gate. Period I know everyone wants to have their say you guys can do that between private message that's what it's made for not in public if you're going to have a debate have your debate and I private forum not here this thread is being watched by TMobile executives and Samsung executives I guarantee it and the proof whoever asked that question about me I got a call from an executive at T-Mobile and I spoke to them and I explained what are goals are and they reassured me that they're going to do everything in their power that they can to ensure that there is some type of solution so that is my proof sir a 15-minute phone call and I believe them because he's pretty high so enough of this nonsense post and let's just keep it PR friendly please

Guys I have only purchased 2 phones before their release the nexus 1 and the S7 edge. I am usually a late adopter. To be honest I wouldn't even have an S7 edge if not for the T-Mobile BOGO. I would never have purchased a device this early. When I was ready for an upgrade I would have seen the locked bootloader and decided well strike three for you Samsung. First the S6/ note 5 integrated storage, the trend they have with providing the U. S. customers with the inferior versions of devices (my opinion) , now again the injustice of the locked bootloader. Most likely I will check out LG I like their other products, perhaps I will love their phones. I believe the last great Galaxy was the S1 Vibrant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] djsvetljo:
The numbers may not change with a whole 1 unit.

Get "Barometer & Altmeter " free from play store. Pressing on the screen moves the small gauge(see attached), value fluctuates between 987.8 to 988.5 for me. You have to press firm, not like touching a link.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] TheKnux:
I took my case off (first mistake as I love the feel of the actual phone) put it on the dashboard, went to turn, phone slid off and hit the metal seat track. I usually always tried to catch my M8 every time it fell when it was on the dash and for some reason I had hope that the phone would survive but apparently Gorilla Glass 4 isn't all what it's cracked up to be.

My phones used to fly all over the car until I discovered the sticky things you tape on the dash. Kind of too late for you but may be you can protect the next one.

Is there a developer only thread for this? I read over the last 10 pages and saw mostly text so I decided to do something extreme, something groundbreaking, a true first for xda.

I used xda's search bar

The euphoria and rush from this excitement was short lived however as multiple searches for criteria came back null.

After I had already searched for the terms 'mutex', 'memcpy', 'BNE', 'LDR', 'char' and 'header' I finally got a match to a single users post when i searched for 'ida'

So I figured there might be another thread on this?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Josh McGrath:
I don't know if it's fully understood about the way LG does their bootloaders. They all come locked, but they provide a way to unlock it for T-Mobile via adb fastboot unlock or whatever. I'm running the v10 and had to unlock the bootloader

Now if they truly lock them down like att and Verizon does, then they can't be unlocked. If this is the true case, I will be blaming T-Mobile for asking the boots to be locked for reasons like warranty etc.

I wouldn't be surprised, T-Mobile is getting pretty cocky now that they are making good money.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] md1008:
I have a feeling T-Mobile is indifferent. LG from what I understand has always been weird with BL. Some will be unlocked, most locked. If HTC Dev doesn't work with the HTC 10 then i would blame HTC. It really is time to abandon OEM and go for Nexus or unlocked alternative. With OEMS competing for business as well as financial/banking it's not surprising that they are lock down bootloader's.

Where are the people that were giving me crap yesterday for saying this is EXACTLY what T-Mobile is doing to us? I told you guys, this is how BIG corporations deal with stuff like this. They let the fire die out, then they provide the "NO" or ignore us even further. (Less people get upset that way). Like I said in my previous post, T-Mobile and Samsung will not help us!!! Root will come from some outside source who finds an exploit. Us spamming their social media will do absolutely nothing. What does a celebrity or anybody else do that constantly sees the same post on their feed over and over again? They delete or block the person. Stop wasting your time with the social media folks!
