Does anyone have a copy of the stock firmware that ships? I would love to start reversing the aboot and trustzone images. We can reverse how all the checks work and look for potential overrides to those checks which are typically qfuses. Of course we'd need early code execution in the system. We may be able to gain code exec over jtag (not sure if it's disabled, but we may be able to glitch it) during early boot or with an exploit we develop in TrustZone such as what this guy did http://bits-please.blogspot.com/.

If you initiate the factory reset from within Android, you will not encounter the reset protection because your accounts are deleted prior to the wipe. FRP kicks in if you wipe from recovery, but even then you only get a 72 hour lockout if you forget your password and reset it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] chenxiaolong:
That's a very interesting idea, but if it's anything like the Verizon/AT&T Galaxy S4, then the signatures are indeed checked at both flash time and boot time. For the S4, we had to use the Loki exploit, which modified the boot image to overflow one of the bootloader's buffers so some shellcode could be injected to bypass the signature requirement. If we directly flashed the boot image (eg. with 'dd'), the bootloader would complain on the next reboot.

EDIT: This exploit only worked on a pre-KNOX bootloader. I'd imagine that bootloaders supporting KNOX would be more secure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
Do you keep the Allow OEM Unlock option on in Developer Settings? That will override FRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RusherDude:
Or not. Maybe being able to control the Knox flag is enough for them. It's obvious that you can't evade tripping knox with that, but I am not so sure that the BL keeps halting the booting process if an unsigned kernel is found. Then the knox flag sholdn't be there in the first place...

Petition signed. Also left this comment. Gonna reshare it also.

"I specifically joined T-Mobile 3 years ago because of the actions they have taken to win over customers who want the most out of their phones. First it was the unlimited data plans, then when I learned T-Mobile didn't lock their bootloader's I was sold. An unlocked bootloader does leave customers more freedom, freedom to choose. Am I sounding like a T-Mobile commercial yet? T-Mobile, please live up to what you stand for, and help us regain our freedom.

Thank you."

Please re-tweet: It's time!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] the Doctor:
All we have to do is wait for Legere to convince Samsung to work with Qualcomm to overcome secureboot (which won't sound logical to any Samsung or Qualcomm engineer or make any business sense to either company), put together a unique bootloader for T-Mobile, do all the testing and get all the required certs, then finally push it out. And all of this has to happen on the basis of a very small percentage of T-Mobile's customers, and a minute fraction of a percentage of Samsung's and Qualcomm's.

The optimist in me REALLY hopes it will happen, especially with all the action on Twitter and the petition, but the realist sees a pretty long shot.

But, I REALLY hope this happens because AOSP/CM on Galaxy S7 hardware would the bomb! :cool:

Could somebody please help me quash my realism and give me more reason to be optimistic?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Nv1dia:
I do not think it would take much for samsung to release what we are asking. It wouldnt require testing really.. im sure when they are developing touchwiz, they arent signing it every time, im sure they are using an unlocked bootloader. i say this because developmental processes tend to stay the same, and there was a leaked unlocked bootloader back in the S3 days. chances are, there is already an unlocked version of our bootloader, and all it would take would be the OK from the boss to release it to the public. This is just my opinion though, non of us can pretend to know how samsung's inner workings really happen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Xileforce:
I think it's less complicated than you are thinking it is. I'm not a bootloader expert(my domain is kernels) but I do know other companies have provided tools to unlock bootloader's post release. It seems to me all they would have to do is provide a similar tool to unlock T-Mobiles bootloader. No doubt they already have such a tool as when you send in a device via jump for instance, it gets sent to Samsung and reflashed etc. Also consider that Samsung needs this device to be a big win. They've seen declining sales for the past couple of years. Sure we aren't a big group, but it can only help them to help us. Does that help a little? xD

This is a great point--the last thing they need is a lot of bad press from a small but loud group of customers! T-Mobile is probably in the same boat, and every phone sold to a ROM flasher on XDA is a contract denied to AT&T. That's got to be worth something!

Matteosaeed's not wrong, we have to put pressure on both Samsung and T-mobile if we hope to get anything done. Even if it was T-mobile who requested the lock in the first place, it will be Samsung who ultimately comes up with a way to unlock the bootloader. If T-mobile is indeed talking with Samsung we should support them by talking with Samsung too.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Tiffany84:
HTC's bootloader unlock method was done through fastboot, which this device doesn't have. But through adb you would get a token identifier that is device specific, submit that token to HTC, they send you back an unlock code that you would then paste into a command prompt to unlock the bootloader using adb. Really quick and painless method. That token identifier is also how they track devices to void warranties for unlocking the bootloader. Not that I ever cared.

Whelp, called T-Mobile and returned my two s7 edge. When the CSR asked why, I explained the bootloader locked situation. She was really nice. I hate to see it go, as it was a really nice phone, but I believe in freedom of my devices. It's why I refuse to own a Mac. My phone did have a few issues, I had a multi window bug where I would get phantom presses to the recent apps button. I also had the video issues others are having. I would of been OK with all that if there was an unlocked bootloader, because I knew I could count on the dev community fixing issues long before Samsung....if they ever would....

Otherwise, I'm gonna wait for Nexus 2016 and switch to Project Fi. But I'm afraid that Google may let us down by locking the next Nexus. That day, if really happens, would be remembered as the beginning of the fall of Android Empire!

1000 is the goal this is the best number we can give to them because 1000 returns and 1000 devices off Samsung and or t-mobile is still bad PR and news for them.

I am updating the information as i am getting new info from change.org stating we are a hot topic as well tmobews should be making a another announcement once we hit 1000 sigs. I have been in talks with lots of people the last few days and all agree 1000 is the best way once we reach that then i will send it off to Samsung and T-Mobile and Johns email. If anyone can find me the CEO of Samsung i will add him on there as well like i said today i am going to be on the road most of the day. Yes there stored by person and state and name there is a master list of all sigs no bots can do this.

Id start spamming his FB as well i started this morning with the #bootloadergate as well spam that link as well he needs to know we mean business and 500 in under 24 hours... Means business. Be respectful and be ruthless at the same time keep that fire going guys!

My phone has not come yet and I am not sure if I will keep it. My reason for wanting root is volume mods. Everything I have seen has said the audio on the s7/edge is not good. I use my phone everyday to listen to music so audio quality is important to me. My phone isnt shipping out until either the 18th or 22nd. From when it arrives to me I have 20 days to return so hopefully things change with root. If not might be keeping my v10.

I had an M9. You actually had to go to a website, give your imei and then it shot you an email of a code. Then you go to adb on a PC and enter a command with the specific code for your imei, it restarts and you're unlocked. Technically it makes every phone. A dev phone. Then you can S-Off which allows you to turn your phone into an international version, T-Mobile, att, etc. It allows you to use international ROMs and stuff.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Paradoxumical:
So, basically...

T-Mobile: "Samsung did it".

Samsung: " T-Mobile asked for it".

Okay, nice to know nobody at Samsung or T-Mobile has to the balls to admit they goofed.

Anyways, T-Mobile's CEO has practically said he's on our side and wants the bootloaders unlocked.

What's the problem now, Samsung? T-Mobile "asked" for it, and now it's no longer wanted; your move. Time to unlock it if it's "carrier specific" as your representatives has been told to tell us.

If they don't, I suggest we switch to #BoycottSamsung and continue pushing.
