I see your points, but I don't see the gospel of rooting spreading very far outside of the minority. I mean, if you've only converted 4 people since 2008, it doesn't seem like a growing movement. I've been here since 2007 and for the most part, it seems like it's more of people moving from phone to phone when the next big thing comes

At least IME, most people, who've asked me about it may find it interesting but it doesn't go beyond that. Just about everyone either isn't technical enough to do it themselves and don't want to risk breaking their phones or just don't see the benefit of it. Outside of ads and backups, it really is a power user thing.

Ads have mostly been in apps or the browser and if it's a good app, I buy it so I don't have to deal much with it. If AT&T wants to send me offers, they already send them to me thru email. It's not like they can't see where I'm going anyway just based on my traffic. I mean, if they REALLY need to access data on my phone to manage their network, they need some better management tools.

I think the carriers have been fairly good about targeting just the individual abusers. There are people that will abuse the network regardless of root or not. Most carriers have been against unlimited data due to being able to charge more for tiered data than all you can eat.

Bottom line, IMO, is that we're a very small minority not really worth worrying about. They deal with the ones that abuse and leave the rest of us alone. The vast majority doesn't care about rooting or anything like that, so there's no real reason for them to care if the phone ships locked. If someone wants to be malicious, they'll find a way to do it regardless.

That could be more of a rural thing where LTE is the fastest thing around. My mother-in-law lives in a rural area and can only get 3 Mb DSL. LTE is much faster.

I'm not saying all people use it that way, but that there are legitimate reasons for it just besides streaming Netflix 24/7.

Does anybody know how good the G5 camera is compared to that of the s7 edge?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] lnhs2007:
I ordered my Edge on the 18th from T-Mobile online and it arrived on the 23rd. Swapped in the sim from my Nexus 5 on the 24th (after some trimming) and been using the Edge since... but day by day that G5 looks shinier. Anyhow does anyone know what my return window is at T-Mobile? Also I did the VR promotion, haven't received that yet but my application was accepted and shipping is pending. Any idea what'll happen with that if I return the phone?

And you can see from our own thread that people are still trying: http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/bounty-unlocked-bootloader-s7edge-t3339857/page31

I guess what I'm trying to say is that where there is a will, there's a way and in time someone might just find it. I doubt that they will keep it to themselves. We don't need a thread based on off topic comments and negativity to accomplish it. That's why it was closed. It was just pages and pages of people expressing negativity and blame on Samsung and how they were going to return their phones and crap like that. It was going way off topic and the moderators aren't paid. They have lives too. They can't just sit at their computers and read and delete negative and off topic comments all day. (Speaking from experience.) If anyone has anything important to share then they can start a thread about it, right? Why is that thread so important to accomplishing root and/or unlocked bootloader? That's what I'm not understanding I guess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] v8dreaming:
Yeah, the negativity was out of hand. I'm glad there's activity for those carriers, but they aren't T-Mobile, who I have service with. The thread was important because it was a way of organizing an effort to achieve a common goal. I guess this thread is probably better suited for that. It just seems like all the positive voices went silent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gdmlaz:
Agree they closed the only thread that kept people pushing for the unlock why not penalize the people that are offtopic not the whole crew that is actually trying to do something positive
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
Agreed - and now the only other (bounty) is also closed. I had been spending most of my time on international threads with unlocked S4 - not so much pettiness, and may go 935F route largely for that reason.

On topic - what is status of petition (how many, has it been presented to Samsung & TMo, etc)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] AKW:
That's a great question. [MENTION=2384865]ice5192[/MENTION] was the one responsible for the petition, but he hasn't chimed in since the Root discussion thread was closed down. Looks like we're in limbo here.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Fenny:
This path leads to the dark side.

In any case, there is not much to do but keep the petition and the cause relevant. Let's keep this thread focused on strategy to get our bootloader unlocked by Samsung via T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] vipercoyote:
Exactly.Sammy paid or threaten somebody off here to close the thread. It is not the first time to happen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] daveid:
Conspiracy nonsense, the threads quickly go off topic and become battlegrounds, thus the mods close them. People act like children, insult others, demand action, and are unwilling to even entertain the possibility that someone who doesn't agree with them 100% might actually have something to share with the discussion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
I had gotten away from the US Tmo XDA threads for some time with my S4, as all the most interesting and useful work was being done internationally. The attitude of the posters and the moderators were both a breath of fresh air - along with the berth of the development (including [MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION]'s duelboot work).

I am currently stuck with a locked 935T, but if I migrate over the a 935F or FD - the preceding will be a major factor in the decision process.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] bajasur:
The good news is that it seems tmobile is responding to our inquiries in a positive manner. I am hopeful they will do the right thing by their users
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sonkameja:
I hate to be negative but this is just gonna turn out like the Galaxy note 3 for Verizon it's gonna be locked and people are gonna be screwed hoping for anything to happen when it doesn't. The best thing to do is just move on to a device to manufacture that's open and doesn't bull**** anyone

I had a 30 minute discussion with a higher level person in customer service on a technical problem with my account (not the phone). At the end, he asked if there was anything else he could help with. I hit him with this - just to see if he had heard anything.

He and his boss sit in on meetings with the CEO at times, and he said this is active and ongoing at that level - but that they need Samsung to step up, as they have locked it down in a way only they can do it. The post below covers it pretty well (somewhat discouraging):

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/root-bootloader-thread-t3349012/page3

PS - he is following this situation on sites like XDA to keep management informed. It might actually be helpful if all the threads were not shut down for that reason alone - even the stupid wining stuff lets them know how their customers feel about this.

I should have added - on topic - keep the petitions going so they know it is not forgotten.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nano303:
That's ALL I READ. Is people wining that because there phone cannot be rooted they are switching to the htc 10, g5 Yada Yada yada. How about contributing something usefull instead of making this a thread for people to wine and complain why there phones aren't perfect. If your NOT HAPPY. It's easy save your breath and buy another device that has ROOT. Because apparently not having an unlocked bootloader is So, very important to some people enough to switch to another device lol.

All I'm saying is quit your wining. I don't see this thread being called. " s7 bootloader wining discussion" or maybe I'm missing something. Leave already come back when there's an unlock bootloader and be happy. Geez people

I did think about going to Note 5 first.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] chenxiaolong:
This is very similar to some other bootloader unlocking hacks that have been done before (and I believe it's based on the same code). It requires a dev edition of the device to exist as the basis of the exploit requires that the eMMC CID of the device be changed to one matching a developer edition device. We'd need Samsung to release a developer edition device similar to the devices they've released for AT&T and Verizon in the past.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sonkameja:
Why? We paid for the device in full. They are obligated to let us do as we will with the device. We need geohot!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] chenxiaolong:
Oh, I completely agree. I'm just saying that a developer edition is necessary for the mentioned exploit to work.

[MENTION=777123]mathieulh[/MENTION] summarized the situation well. Please read carefully. As mentioned before, only a leaked engineering/developer edition will get us there, or if someone found a way to get Chinese 9350 firmware on a 935T/A/P/V.

Emphasis mine - hope you don't mind [MENTION=777123]mathieulh[/MENTION].

At this point, lobbying for Samsung to release a US firmware for the SM-G935F International version would provide a somewhat doable path forward, though it is unknown how likely Samsung will entertain that idea. The firmware would enable US operator features (VoLTE, WiFI calling, Enhanced Calling, etc.). They do it in other countries even when the local operators have their own firmware (e.g, BTU for UK even though there are EVR for EE, etc. Same thing in Germany, Netherlands, Poland, etc).

Sony™ Xperia™ Z5 Premium Marshmallow

Audio System​

Features:

-Entire Xperia™ Z5 Premium Marshmallow /system/lib/soundfx and /vendor/lib/soundfx.

-Five custom audio_effects.conf locations and naming schemes for the ultimate compatibility.

-Sony Effect /system/build.prop section.

-Can be used as a standalone audio system.

-Can be used with other mods as long as audio_effects.conf files are merged.

After the enormous success of my ViPER|Audio™series of 4.8/5.5 updates I wanted to share with everyone what has made the latest updates so special. This is suitable for the developer as well as the user in that it should result in a fantastic stock audio system replacement and is also a premium audio system on which to build a custom sound mod.

These files will overwrite many stock files as well as all audio_effects. conf files so a backup is critical. Developers will immediately know what to do with the files inside the zip once extracted. Users can simply flash the zip in recovery after creating a backup with these simple installation instructions:

Installation:

-Boot to recovery

-Install > Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Marshmallow Audio System zip

-Reboot

There is no uninstaller available since it's mostly stock files being overwritten. To completely restore your original audio system you have the following three options:

Uninstallation/Removal:

-Restore the backup made before flashing the audio system zip.

-Dirty flash your current rom according to your developer's instructions.

-Flash a new rom according to the developer's instructions.

I hope you guys enjoy this audio system as much as we all do in the latest ViPER|Audio™ series of Sony™ Beats™ editions. Please feel free to do anything you want with this zip and the files inside, no permission or credit needed. :good:

A huge thank you to all my Nexus 6 thread testers! :highfive:

Can your viper atmos be flashed over this?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
You're better off using the whole package in my threads. This is a base for others to work with or just use as is. To provide the most compatibility among devices and roms I've started using audio_effects.conf files in the latest updates. Flashing ViPERAtmos over this zip will be fine but you'll end up with the same result as if you had installed ViPERAtmos only. Most sound mods contain audio_effects.conf so I don't want to make it sound like other mods will flash fine over this audio system. Although, it is certainly a good opportunity to learn about the files that make up the audio_effects.conf. Study it enough and you'll easily be able to customize your own sound mod by adding libraries and effects files and inputing their entries into audio_effects.conf. :good:
[Android Software Development] loquito09:
