[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KuhakuTheMadGod:
I talked to Samsung for about an hour about why the bootloader is locked for the US versions of the S7.( I have a SM-G930R4) Most of the time they gave me the run around but I was able to find out that with the Oreo update ,it may be possible to lock/unlock the bootloader. They didn't come right out and say it but that's what it sounded like to me. They were saying something about a "security issue" that is supposed to be fixed in Oreo,and that it's within the realm of possibilities. Let's hope they weren't trying to make me feel better,lol. I haven't had a nice phone since 2013,and I was pretty nonplussed to find out we got shafted. I have been using Samsung phones since the original Google Nexus,and have flashed/rooted/customized every single one of them. Customization is important to a lot of people,and Samsung understands this. Why'd they have to give in this time? ><
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Highly unlikely

Samsung talk out of their rears when you contact them, usually just to get you to go away I find
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KuhakuTheMadGod:
Well that's corporations in general right? Lol. I don't want to get another phone if I don't have to. I rather like this one. I guess we'll find out in the coming weeks ,eh?

I have a screenshot of part of the conversation,but it seems like I can't post the link or embed it. Basically it was them feeding me a line of garbage about none of their USA model phones having unlockable bootloaders,and I corrected them. They also said that it was Qualcomm's fault but I can't see how. Don't they use their own bootloaders?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KuhakuTheMadGod:
I guess I could always try to trade my S7 for a S6 lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
I don't know the details of why they are locked or who's fault it is, but they're right that none of the USA S7s have unlocked bootloaders (Snapdragon Models)

It's the Exynos International S7s that are unlocked (G930F, G930W8)

Samsung will have the bootloader encryption key, so they could have added a feature to unlock it like they did with the Exynos versions, no idea why they haven't

If you want an unlocked S7 I'd sell that one and get the G930F
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KuhakuTheMadGod:
They didn't say it would never be unlocked. What I got from the exchange was that it may happen during the next OTA,which I assume is Oreo,or a patch of sorts thereafter. The particular lady I was speaking to implied it was Qualcomm's fault,but I find that hard to believe. I brought up the fact that we're being singled out (for whatever reason) and that customization is quite important to a lot of us.She said "Yes I agree,if you buy a phone it should be yours" So hopefully they do the right thing. I can't very well just sell this phone ,however. It holds sentimental value and was a gift from someone very dear to me.So my only option is ,A) Pray Sammie does right by us,or B) wait until someone hacks it(if it's even possible)

Also from what I've been told and what I've read on multiple forums(XDADev included) our phone carriers pressured Samsung to do it,to cut down on people bricking their phones. From my experience it's pretty hard to completely brick a Samsung. As long as you can get into download mode and flash something via Odin or backup from recovery,it's all good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] miko12312:
I'm running oreo. But soon all carriers will now lock bootloaders latest sprint and Verizon starting , to make it it so no one can change carriers
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] whbisondtr:
Not to stir up an old thread, but oreo just rolled out for the sm-g930p yesterday and I noticed that there is the option for OEM unlock. Good news for finally unlocking the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] InsanePostman:
No.. That's not what that feature is for. It's in Nougat as well under development options
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] whbisondtr:
Gotcha. I didn't have it on here with nougat though, it didn't show up until I got the oreo update. From what I've read around, that's what it was for.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FP_XDA:
Random thought...Maybe when the Oreo U firmware comes out flashing the BL will work?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KuhakuTheMadGod:
When I talked to Samsung about it they hinted that would be the case. They didn't confirm or deny it directly,but the way they put it sure alluded to something of the sort.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tko:
lets pray :)))
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] aarongotgame:
Yea so anyway still locked and I honestly don't even need root. I'll just use the unlocked firmware and disable bloat. Rooting the s7 seems arbitrary at this point. If I wanted to I would just trade my s7 USA varient for an international varient if I was really that adamant. S7's are pretty cheap now with the s8 and s9 out on the market.

I have an unlocked phone and the only thing unlocked is the carrier or sim, nothing to do with the bootloader unless you all are suggesting that after the full release of Oreo on all the s7 devices that they may rethink locked bootloader. By then I'll probably just get a new phone. I've lost interest in rooting the s7 but that's probably because there's only three ways around it. Rooting Android 6, rooting earlier versions of Android 7 or getting the xynos s7. I love Oreo more than root on this phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] godkingofcanada:
I'm curious why they did this instead of just finding a quick fix and putting it back up a couple days later. How long are people with a brand new phone supposed to wait for Oreo... My s5 and s6 e + are running custom Oreo roms but the s7 and s8 have nothing unless I go custom there too. Then I void s8 warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] godkingofcanada:
The silver lining is that there's a European s8 stock ROM out there somewhere, and I read on XDA here there is a way to install other countries roms.

Yeah obviously it is not going to be happening by the company as we know that this company is very lazy in even releasing the kernel sources on the phone and expecting the advanced partition modification like vendor partition and making it project treble compatible is a way out of the scope.

Hi! I recently rooted my phone by following your steps. However, I cannot enable Camera2 API with your magisk module. I tried several other modules related in Gcam but no avail. What could be the problem?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:
What do you mean you can't?

What's happening when you add the api2 module?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] whrynox:
The module is installed in magisk but the Gcam still force closes. Upon checking with Camera2 probe, it's still in legacy mode and not in hardware level 3.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:
Any error message when adding module?

Did you also add the permissive script module?

And p.s. which version of gcam are you using?

May also sound a stupid question, but did you restart your phone after adding the module?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] whrynox:
Never had an error when adding. How do I add that permissive script module? Is it always needed in installing this?

I'm tried using both latest Gcam's from Arnova and Tolyan.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:
The other module is needed otherwise you will have a very long delay in opening the camera.

And, don't forget to restart phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] whrynox:
Oh I have tried installing that module, too. I also rebooted my phone several times after installing both modules. Unfortunately, the problem still persists.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] whrynox:
After enabling Camera2 from build.prop, how do I know that noise cancellation disable and other things included in the module are enabled?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:
These are the lines needed for gcam.

persist.camera.eis.enable=1

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

Other things are enabled in the gcam settings.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] whrynox:
I can't find those in build.prop

Do I enter them manually? Thank you for being with me for this
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:
Yes, add them manually in your build.prop save file and reboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] whrynox:
What's the difference if I do the steps in the link below instead? EDIT: Except unrooting and locking bootloader

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/guide-how-to-enable-hal3-camera2api-t3747073

AFAIK editing build.prop breaks OTA so I'm considering all options.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:
The other method takes more efforts. You'll probably break ota anyways, so it's up to you.

I wouldn't worry too much though. As upgrading to a new security update is easy with miflash tool, even when you have modified the build.prop.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] whrynox:
I see. Camera2 is now enabled. Thank you so much!

However, my problem with video recording, which I had since unrooted Gcam mod, still exists. When trying to focus, camera tries to adjust but then screen would flicker 1-3 times and go back to its original focus. Is that the same for you?

Using custom rom 8.1 and have twrp installed permanently.

Would like to go back at stock locked and unrooted.

Tried using miflash and latest image from official xiaomi site.

However it stucked at says "flashing" when the whole bar turned green at 100% over an 40 minutes so closed it.

Tried another couple times but always stays at "flashing" .

So went back to custom rom.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Followed your If your phone fails to apply OTA... guide and used flash_all_except_storage.sh from the .tgz instead if MiFlash. Worked like a charm.

Well, not quite, because I lost TWRP in the process and had to reflash that.

Obviously, in step 3, I didn't have to apply the OTA update because that was already incorporated in the .tgz.

One thing, when uninstalling Magisk in step 1, you get 3 options. Uninstall app, Restore images, and Complete uninstall. I choose the 3rd option. Was that wise? Please update the tutorial with that.

But otherwise: worked like a charm.
