guys can someone give me a summary... we just purchased an s8+ for my wife which is a t-mobile but unlocked (sim), we are using with rogers (canada), i enabled dev options and was meaning to unlock bootloader so i could do twrp and root... viper4android, dolbyatmos, etc... lo and behold i see no oem boot loader unlock.

I was directed to this thread, apparently we're screwed?

This thread is 92 pages... what is the current situation?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
Bootloader locked. But there is root. Partcyborg samfail
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Blade22222:
The bootloader is locked so no custom recovery, but you can root it and install all the root apps you mentioned. Just Google root for your device. We also just got safe strap and it's recovery works great.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Also, I have tried it yet, but another awesome dev recently posted a way to get twrp using safestrap, which is a tool that let's you boot other systems using your same kernel and bootloader, so you can have things like twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
sorry, been meaning to shut this down.. at this pointdoesntseem like the BL will ever be unlocked and I personally havent hadan S8+ close to goimg on a year now...

well [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] and mad scientest answered your question hopefully..

basically v4a and dolby might be doable but unlocked BL is not, always do research before purchasing a device if you are looking for an unlocked bootloader :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leifyguy:
$20 and $20 s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bryancotton84:
$50 for root and $50 for bootloader. Let's get it done!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
well this thing is really having issues for me lol.. i literally went through every page and went to save the post and it gave me a 404 error.. i will try again in a bit lol it will be updated tonight tho
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
Can you get more information about it? Maybe it would be worth it to put the money together if root could be achieved without a performance hit. I would definitely pitch in.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
that is impossible to say for sure
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
My math could be wrong as I added it in my head and am falling asleep but updated totals are in post #3
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
Also, some of you were not clear as to what devices so I added them wherever lol..

also, it could be inflated as some ppl put down different amounts for root and/or bl unlock+twrp..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] omar0aziz:
I know this is my first post, but have been a guest visitor for years. It was time to jump back into the Android world, couldn't resist with the shiny new S8+ :silly:

Anyways sir, just wanting to state that I am legit. You got $50 on S8+ for ROOT my man, all of luck to the team.

$20 for S8 Root + BL Unlock

This is my first Android phone in a while that I haven't been able to root. Would love to be able to flash a custom rom or at the very least make Titanium backups.

I would offer more, but I am currently a poor college student :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] equake:
Been following the thread, but forgive me for being naive would not a root for the s8 be the same for s8+ since they r identical other than screen and battery.

My 2 cents

Count me in for $20 for S8+ Root and Bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:

S8+ I'll give $10 for root only. $20 for root and BL unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] asfau:
I'm in for $50 for root. $100 for root and BL. S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
Damn Somebody's gotta figure this out. Tons of money up for grabs lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
depends on method used.. if its an exploit then sure.. if its eng boot then wed need one for each device since prolly cant use the s8 eng boot on the s8+ and vice versa.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jBarnett12116:
I've got the factory mode firmware from a subscription website. It's COMBINATION_FA70_G955USQU1AQCF_CL11021339_QB13008249_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5. I'm on the Verizon S7 Edge, but always happy to liberate these from being held ransom :p If it's anything like the combination firmware for my 935V, it's SELinux Permissive out of the box and easily rootable. Unlike the 935 combination firmware, this is basebanded to 955U (G935P, T, U, and V are all basebanded to AT&T). So it should be much more friendly for development going forward. There's a newer firmware version out (COMBINATION_FA70_G955USQU1AQDA_CL11303241_QB13386458_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT) but I'll wait to hear if this firmware does any good before uploading it.

[MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] I'll PM you for the Hangouts invite. Got it uploaded to my Google Drive and will share the link whenever you're ready.

Attached are screens of what the factory mode firmware looks like on the VZW S7 edge...

Happy hunting gents :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
we already have combination firmware but i replied to your pm asking for your email so we can pick your brain lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Blade22222:
I'd love to to know where you got a selinux permissive copy of mm for the s7.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jBarnett12116:
All the combo files are selinux permissive. Here's the s7 edge firmware:

Wow, looks like a lot more people are on the S8+. I just got the S8 yesterday for $400 on T-Mobile. What would you guys say the odds are Snapdragons will eventually see AOSP?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
slim lol.. thatd mean unlocked BL

Slim to never...

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PieceofSlice:
Totally off topic, but I have an LG G6 as well. Would you say that one is more likely to get AOSP?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea that is off topic and I have no idea.. might ask around in the LG forums.. they are two dif. beasts.. the v20 was super lucky dirtycow still worked and we got a debug firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
About the same....G6 has been out for awhile and i dont think its even rooted yet.

That sucks having 2 phones both locked down...ditch the G6 since looks like they are all locked this time and/or ditch the snap s8 also and go with the exynos which is not locked. That's what alot of us are doing...

Sent from my S8 plus, Note 7, S7 Edge or S6
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PieceofSlice:
Yeah, I'm probably gonna ditch the G6, I do believe it has a bootloader unlock though. I'd like to get the Exynos S8 but I can't find any second hand one :/
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Cozzeck:
Alright I'll jump in, $20 for the S8+ root but no engineer kernel methods.

Last night i was trying to and unsuccessful to put my gfs phone back to a stock image ... i was using wugs toolkit ... i forgot my phone was attached to the pc and it saw it as the rooted Nexus 6 ... and wanted to root and flash said stock image ... the app was looking for adb??
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] teknomanelvis:
Can we use the exynos on US carriers? I thought we couldn't?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i believe they just wont work on cdma networks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hazmad:
Any idea how often op will be updating?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Probably a stupid question but why can't we install the exynos firmware on our us carriers to get an unlocked BL or mix and match firmware so we can get rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Not a chance in hell sorry no, not going to go into the why because there are too many reasons for it.

but its not possible.

Two different chip sets thus requiring their own firmwares. If you flash anything from exynos you'd more than likely brick

something funny is that is slower in antutu and other benchmarks... just a perfect example of how useless are those things in a world where the most optimized defeat the most powerful ....and im saying that about the horrible gpu implementation of the exynos variant ..which is pathetic considering how damn good was the s6 edge with exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
the logistics arent situated yet and no payments needed until it actually happens.. it will either be to me then sent to devs responsible or to a moderator or something like that..

but no need to worry yet right now about that lol hopefully sooner than later but right now its a waiting game

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
Not to bug you but updating the total as often as you can could some what have an effect in encouraging more developers as most might not go through the entire thread to see the up to date amount .

Showing that that people are very much interesting in getting these phone rooted or BL unlock by putting in good amount money frequently.

You also don't want the pledges to get away from you as this might make it harder to gather the amounts .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lightninbug:
Do bounty threads still work? I mean, like, how do we know there isn't kids/randoms in here typing that they will pledge 50$ or whatever, and never actually donate/pledge anything when the time comes.

do you want to help me keep it updated? lol that would help a lot.. i work 10+ hour shifts 5+ days a week usually and dont get off until late so by time i get home i crash lol

this is how bounty threads ALWAYS worked.. its not a guarantee devs will get 100% of the bounty and devs are fully aware of this and shouldnt expect 100%

Yeah if you want i can help . I do 10 hour shifts should too but i can find in between time .

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Symphony0fLife:
The bigger concern honestly is that the number of people who have their hands on EngBoot are just waiting for the price to hit a sweet spot before they try to beat the others to the punch on dropping it. Kind of just leads to a hostage situation. I mean, no real unlocked BL will be achieved and several folks around the country have access to EngBoot so there's not really much going on other than them just waiting for the $$$ to hit.

The reason that's a problem is because the people out there working on a PROPER root methods through unlocking the BL will miss out on the bounty and have less incentive to continue work. They simply can't work fast enough to beat those just holding EngBoot hostage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :

Sucks that most people who have the EngBoot are only going to release it for money and not for the benefit of the community.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mcbright80:
SO...fairly certain i know (vaguely) the answer to this question BUT just in case....could you or anyone enlighten me as to how anyone who has the EngBoot was able to acquire it in the first place and why can't anyone else possibly do the same?

I assume it is someone who either works for or is close to someone who is a dev for samsung and/or a carrier that would have access to the EngBoot? Am i missing something there? Is there no other possible ways to get ther Engboot other than this....no crazy trickery....unheard of exploit to employ unlikely to work yet crazy enough to maaaaybe in some cold day in hell actually work....or perhaps sweet talking some random samsung phone tech(pfft)? Silly yes....but hey...no ideas to nutty in my eyes lol. If theres any possibility, however slim, id rock it if i can. Its irritating that there isnt just random dicks waiting for the right price to help people to drop what we need be the only way...arrg!:cool::silly:

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:
Hello guys,

yesterday I rolled back from N to MM in order to install a fresh MM and install the N again and I still have high battery drain where Android System and AndroidOS are top battery consumers. I have high drainage when I am not using the phone too, and its not even connected to the internet too. Few days ago for two hours of not using the phone I had around 30% battery drain and I think that's not normal at all. I think that the phone is draining less battery when I am using it than I am using it...

As I said before, I have freshly installed Nougat b371, I am not rooted and the bootloader is locked.

I thought it was because I tried to install the b381 300mb version but it failed installing it and I thought it was part b371, part b381 and that was causing some problem with that and that's why I installed a fresh version of MM but that's not working too and I don't know what to do now. If you can guys help me It'd be awesome! :D

And I also these days never have 4g, only H+ and its losing the connection and it automatically reconnects after few seconds and I don't know why. Before I always had 4g... The fresh MM didn't solved that problem. Do you think that b381 failed installation somehow misfigured something?

And a screenshot of the consumption level.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] TheOneWhoSpeaks:
Wasn't H+ the symbol of 4G?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:
Before I had 4G symbol, now I have H+. And sometime it changes to 3G but thats rare.

I dont mind the H+, but it annoys me that it disconnects all the time and reconnects after few seconds...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech.San:
Disable the Google app and go to phone manager،tap cleanup then tap on the option icon on the upper right of the screen. Now tap memory clean up whitelist ,and uncheck all of the apps (recommend) or just uncheck all except the apps you don't want to close like messenger ..etc. Now go to phone manager and wait for it to load then click optimize. You'll notice a huge difference.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:
Disabling Google app is just like a default thing I am doing after factory reset, hahah. And I also unchecked the apps before, its like a normal thing to me after installing all the apps I need after a factory reset. The thing is the android is draining too much battery and I was asking for a way to somehow reduce it, because even if I am not using the phone it drains the battery for more than 15%, not a couple of percents... I will do a test this night and I will let you know tomorrow.

And also the phone is getting hotter than before...

That's why I did a rollback and installed all new MM, like it came from a store, to see if that'd help but nothing...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] drisena:
My phone had battery drain when I disabled google backup transport.

I don't use google backup. Everything is disabled, but since I enabled it, battery drain is gone.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:
Ummm... in my phone Google Backup Transport is already enabled...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:
Went to sleep at 4:00am and my phone had 90% od battery and woke up at 11:45am and I had 43% battery. Thats 47% battery drain over night.

HELP? :(

I also installed gsam battery monitor and combined app cpu was the highest battery drainer with 76%...

Maybe to try deleting EVERYTHING from TWRP and flash a zip file of emui 4.1? If thats better than a normal factory reset I would try that too, because factory reset didnt solved my problem...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Usama707:
I have the same issue on B360.

Phone Idle in Hardware Section and Android OS in software drains alot during standby. Android OS keeps the system awake.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Tech.San:
I think they played around with the cpu governor since they removed the battery performance mode.
