[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jitz:
Got my brand new S10+ yesterday, and found out that no one rooted it yet (am I right?).

Migrating from a previous phone to a new one usually takes me a couple of hours of setting up everything, and a couple more of fiddling around, and I'll hate to do it twice.

I'm guessing its going to take a similar amount of time for many of you guys that likes everything customized & tailored.

So... what do you say?

Migrate (and then when a safe rooting method is out there - repeat everything)?

Wait for root while your brand new & shiny phone smiles at you from your desk while collecting dust?

How long do you think we'll wait until someone comes up with a rooting solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] lightmastertech:
I'm gonna set mine up and use it like normal, just no updating at all until a root methods is discovered, preferably one with an unlocked bootloader and that doesn't trip Knox. I haven't had a Galaxy device since the Note 4, Knox is still a thing, right?

Also, I assume you tried unlocked the bootloader in developer options and it didn't work?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] st0nez0r:
Rooting has become a more difficult process in the last few recent years. I'm pretty sure the snapdragon variant is the one that likely won't get a root method or that it will be a long while until it comes around - I could be wrong and not trying to spread misinformation...

Truth be told, the Galaxy s8 was the first phone I felt I didn't need to have root with. The ability to remove apps out of the box, freezing unneeded apps, and substratum for theming really helped with that. I can't wait for my s10 to get here Friday. I don't expect root, but with the new UI, and hopefully, the ability to theme or have a dark mode once again will likely stem that feeling to need root.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] lightmastertech:
While I can obviously live without root since I did pre-order this phone, i will still be a bit sad without Viper4Android
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
You're going to have to post a model # or something US/International Snapdragon/Exynos before anyone can answer that question. Exynos=root, US Snapdragon=probably never.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
If you have any Samsung Snapdragon phone and are waiting for someone to root it you'll see the sun burn out and die sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jitz:
I did see that option under the dev menu, but I didnt try to use it, because AFAIK, bootloader unlocking is only the first step towards a properly rooted device....

Is there any advantage for unlocking the bootloader (before a rooting method is discovered) that I'm missing?

Here are my main reasons:

1. Titanium backup - need I say more?

2. Get rid of bloatware

3. Properly block ads

You'll find plenty of other reasons here: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/all-reasons-you-should-root-your-phone-0189131/

Luckily, I'm with a SM-G975F (Exynos 9820) :)

What do you think are the odds for having the Exynos variants rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
Fair
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] lightmastertech:
When you unlock the boot loader, it’ll factory reset your device, including wiping internal sd card. Best to go ahead and do that sooner than later imo
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jitz:
I'm aware that rooting will wipe my device clean - thats the reason I brought the question up...

But - are there any other steps in the currently known Samsung rooting methods that will also wipe my phone?

In other words - if I'll unlock the bootloader now (and factory reset my phone) - will I be able to root & keep my data and setup in the future (once a rooting method is discovered)?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
My main reason for wanting root is call recording and Swift installer support. But I think maybe Swift installer is now working on Pie? I haven't confirmed that yet. But call recording has been a valuable tool for me. I hope one day someone, an app or whatever, can get it working on Pie without root.

Titanium Backup (to delete some system apps) is also nice. I still have my rooted 6T but I doubt I'll be using it much after I get my S10(E) tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Oh man don't even mention Titanium Backup. I had many rooted Moto phones from the original thru the G4 and even did some rom development with them. Titanium Backup was one of the first and best apps I ever paid for. The one good thing about Motos though , it was almost impossible to brick a Moto.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] mrao:
Guys, anyone having issues locating developer options after tapping the Build number 7 times??
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dew.man:
First time with pie? Why are you trolling the forum reposting this question instead of spending a minute looking?

After you tap build number and it tells you that developer options have been enabled, go back to the top level menu and scroll all the way down. It's at the very bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] lightmastertech:
Don't give people heart attacks like that, lol. Gotta have developed options at least to speed up the animations.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jitz:
Actually, it used to be my top reason for rooting my previous devices, BUT:

to my surprise - Samsung included call recording on their OFFICIAL S10 rom (in my country), so I have this feature out of the box, integrated into the in-call screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] blackknightavalon:
It's under /Settings/System in Pie

LUCKY!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jitz:
Israel,

It seems that all of the S10 variants sold here supports call recording out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Klaas1241:
Does unlocking the bootloader trip knox and/or does it give a message on the bootscreen?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] PG101:
The first thing I did, when I got the phone was - update to the new FW which was available and then activate developer options - USB debugging and OEM Unlock - TICK

I did this because i was expecting it to ask me to reboot etc etc and then wipe the device. But it didn't.. The only "warning" I got was - Security Features will now be disabled.

OCD kicked in - I rebooted anyway.. but it did not perform a wipe. And the OEM unlock is still on.

So, I am not quite sure what the game is this time around.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] hella356:
Seems to typically take about a month before the Exynos "S" phones get TWRP, root, etc. I'm holding off until then. Also waiting for the 8GB/256GB version of the S10e to show up. On eBay, the standard S10e has already dropped to $639, so hopefully by the time I'm ready, the 256GB price will be under $700.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] CountVonKrolock:
OK, so on "Tech Droid Tips" there are already root methods available for the S10e.

My question is: is that website reliable at all?

I never had to root a phone before 'cause Substratum was working perfectly fine on my previous Samsung phones but now that they ruined that on the S10, I have no alternative (no way in hell I'm going back to being blinded by Instagram's white backgrounds or WhatsApp's awfull colour choices).
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] sille:
if u tick the oem unlock switch the bootloader isnt unlocked, so no factory wipe.

u have to unlock the bootloader with fastboot for the factory wipe
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] PG101:
You're right..

I did a factory reset anyway.. all good.. now waiting for the Root
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] SoLdieR9312:
I already patched the boot.img in Magisk Manager and flashed it with ODIN. No luck, still Magisk is not installed message.

As i'm already Knox tripped, i already hex edited dt.img to remove avb and dm-verify, but as soon as i edit product.img (csc partition) i get custom dt.img error..

So i think we still have to wait for TWRP :(

Does anyone have any idea when the redmi note 7 pro will be available for other countries besides India and China? I'm waiting for it from Colombia
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] 1375965485501144093271341:
It could be some time (a couple of months) taking into account that redmi note 7 was released in January but global version was released only few days ago. Could be wrong
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Jt380p:
Yeah I'm waiting for it too, gonna switch from by mi A1 global.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] techhi:
Any word on availability in the USA?

Would Love to get one here in the USA for use on the T-Mobile Network
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dkionline:
Maybe check tradingshenzhen.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sagematt:
If it's for Colombia, the phone needs to be FCC-certified, otherwise you won't be able to get it approved for use in the country.

In case of Redmi Note 7, it has already been certified: https://fccid.io/2AFZZ-RMSF7G https://fccid.io/2AFZZ-RMSF7H

Redmi Note 7 Pro is not FCC-certified yet. If it actually gets certified, I'd assume it would happen not long after the global version launch, which would probably happen next month since the China launch is only happening next week.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] obvious:
I'm subscribing to this thread. Looking for availability to UK :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] 1375965485501144093271341:
It has been released today in China. It will go on sale on March 22nd; that means it will be available on Aliexpress very soon. But i doubt it will have B20
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] AlexRCM:
Which device do I buy?

I have a question ... I buy the PocoPhone F1 or I wait for this Redmi Note 7 Pro in my country ???

Note: I am not interested in the camera, only the performance and autonomy. I do not know if the SD 675 is more powerful than the SD 845 since it is more recent. Thanks!!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] 1375965485501144093271341:
If performance and autonomy is most important for you, go for Pocophone. The price difference between the 2 is not really noticeable but performance is. F1 is much more powerful than RN7pro :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Klaus69:
It's allready available on Ali, i ordered yesterday the 6/128 monster :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] 1375965485501144093271341:
I'm still waiting for a small price drop. 285USD + shipping is still a little too expensive for me :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Timmons:
So the version being released tomorrow 12am in china.. can you put a global update on it? It seems the bands would support AT&T. What is the difference of a global version vs what is coming tomorrow?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] maxionline:
seems that will not be a rn7 pro global version :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] obvious:
Of course there will :) But...if there's not it's still OK as it does seem to have all the global bands anyway. It'd be great if it turns out to have Android One but I'm not holding my breath :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Klaus69:
It doesn't have band 20 ( don't care for it in my country :D ) and it have Pie on it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] obvious:
Settings seem to indicate B20
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Klaus69:
Hmmmm.... i was talking about the bands listed online, my phone it's still on its way.

But if the chinese version have band 20 activated, it will be a huge boom for Redmi and no need to release a global version, because, from what i saw online, ppl was waiting for global versions mostly for band 20 :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Dezeman:
Anyone knows if the global version is going to have NFC? If it doesn’t, that would be a dealbreaker for me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dkionline:
No Redmi Note has NFC.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] randy_c:
S9+ worth up to $550 and I am thinking about trade it in to get the S10+ but heard nobody ever got what was advertised.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] neezy13:
I traded my S7 Edge for my S9+ and got the advertised $200 at the time. The key is to be honest about the condition of your trade in. Mine was in excellent condition, always kept in a case with a screen protector.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] FallingSlag86:
When I turn the screen on my phone with smart Lock it opens to a blank lock screen. I have to hit the power button twice after that to get it to open to my home page. Is there a known solution to this?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] OHAiTHARU:
Is direct unlock enabled?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] FallingSlag86:

Thanks that fixed it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] craigsoup:
Strangely I got the same problem. Direct unlock enabled. First unlock bring me to a blank desktop (only wallpaper and status bar showing). I have to then lock the phone again and unlock - and then the launcher is up and running. - Samsung A3 2016

Edit: With Direct unlock off it seems to work, but then you have to swipe to show the launcher...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] RDHoworth:
Hi, I am having exactly the same issue with a Poco F1 running the latest Lineage 16 ROM. Has anyone managed to suggest a fix for this? I love the ROM, but I used to use the Direct Unlock feature without issue until recently, and I really miss this feature.

Here's hoping someone can help with this,

Regards, Richard
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] titosmaximos:
I have a problem with external SD. It does not "see" the PC. Neither Windows 10 nor Linux (kubuntu) I use. Before I saw the internal memory and SD separately. I also noticed how the es file explorer I am using does not let me make a new folder on the external SD While in the internal memory there is no problem. I am in Oreo 8, root. I wonder why it started to happen suddenly while before I did not have a problem.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Did you perhaps formatted the external SD as additional "internal storage" ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] titosmaximos:
I'm afraid that if I format it as internal I will lose all my data. The bad thing is that I can not read the PC
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
You will indeed lose all data on the SD card but why would you format it as internal ? If you don't need it than don't, you can't just simply put it back to external. Are you running a custom rom ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] titosmaximos:
Rom this https://is.gd/wJx1i4

Yes it is the truth that I do not care to make it like internal. I do not care. The data is interesting to me. What I can not understand is what it did not look like! So, suddenly, you stopped showing on your PC and I can not create a new folder, renaming it, copying anything. Something changed. Something is blame. I tried other file explorers and everywhere the same. I would say the card is broken. But that is not the case. I have read on the forum that in general HTC 10 has problems with SD. Perhaps I will finally sacrifice my data, and with a great deal of difficulty I am gathered again.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] titosmaximos:
I'll be crazy! With a heavy heart I decided to shape the SD and let me sacrifice the data. However, while I was informed by the system that I will lose the data, the configuration was made and nothing changed. Envelopes were all in their place, and the same problems as creation-copy-move-rename. What the hell is going on?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Why didn't you take it out of the phone and into a card reader ? Your posts are hard to follow and understand what you are doing exactly.....

It sounds like a read - write conflict, i would dirty reflash the rom. What happens when you enter TWRP and plug in the phone, does it see internal and SD card ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] titosmaximos:
Yes the TWRP sees the SD card. As well as es file explorer. It's not the same as HTC's file explorer. He DOES NOT SEE IT. I also installed an app fix card while viewing it as follows / mnt / media_rw / 89BD-1702. Also Vfat32. However, it can not control it. Reverse the inner well. I will try to put it in a card reader on the PC and I will tell you the result.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] titosmaximos:
Sorry to say something stupid. But I found the following in the magisk and believing that something is blamed with the permission. Can you say help? https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-exsdcard-write-access-enabler-t3670428
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
If i were you i would stop messing about and backup what you need and then flash a complete fresh rom. Start from scratch. Also good for your devices performance.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] titosmaximos:
Well ... I put SD on Windows to shape it! Nothing! I put SD on Linux for configuration! Nothing! Both were unable to do so. I installed SD formatter and Mimi tool partition! They did nothing! They were not shaping, not deleting, nothing was done. So I threw it in the garbage and bought a new one. I'm wasting my time for something more creative. Thanks for everything.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] otvmartins:
Hi guys.

I will be in the US at march 8th and i'm planning to get the s10+.

My plan is to get it in a physical store and I want to be shure that my phone comes with the snapdragon CPU.

Does the stores in the US only sells the snapdragon version or there is a possibility that the phone comes with the Exynos?

I was told that only the carriers locked phones comes with the snapdragon, is that true?

*will use the phone in Brazil

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Pure+:
No US stores will sell an Exynos phone. You should almost certainly receive a SD version
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] rootdude:
Any handset bought in the US will be Snapdragon - not Exynos, whether it's bought from a carrier, reseller, or whatever. Unlocked US versions are also Snapdragon only.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] otvmartins:
Thank you for the answer.

I ask this because i bought my s8+ at BH in NYC and it came with the exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
When it comes to buying in the US, your best bet would be to buy online. There are multiple sellers online within the US that sell the Exynos version. They're usually very tech illiterate though, so asking them if it's the "G955F", for example, would be worthless.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Shuthefrontdoor:
B&h is pretty much the only store front that sells exynos, everywhere else though will be snapdragon, Best buy is a good store if you want to walk in and buy an unlocked snapdragon s10
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
I'm sure the following applies:

Snapdragon if you don't care about unlockable bootloader, root, et al.

Exynos if you want to customize via TWRP.

I have Exynos S9+ and Note9. The S9+ is rooted and I never got around to rooting the Note9.

I preordered a S10+ 128GB black unlocked from BB which should be delivered to my desk by Friday at lunch.

I'm a camera junkie and honestly curious about the camera.

I'm happy TBH the way the Note9 camera captures video and audio. Seems with that generation all the issues with audio overloading have been addressed. (recording live music on stage)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Corv0:
Didn't the Snapdragon versions also use Sony sensors vs Samsung ones in the Exynos?

I know it was confirmed, shame nobody got in depth with it either way I hope they stop depending on third parties for most of their components.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] sireniankyle:
Not entirely true. Some rent to own places sell exynos. Rent-A-Center being one of them.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
Yeah I forgot to mention this. Differences were subtle though.

IMO the easiest way to get the Exynos versions is to buy off ebay. I've had good luck with two sellers. Prompt shipping and exactly as described. Some folks complain about the non USA plug and sellers are throwing in an adapter as well to accommodate. But come on, I mean we're phone geeks here, right? Most of us already have at least 100 USB chargers lying around. ;)

You also save $60 or so by not paying sales tax.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] force70:
If verizon is still 100% CDMA then no, the exynos only works on GSM.

Last year the snap was better on battery then exynos but every year previously it was the other way around. That said i have no problem getting 6hrs SOT on my exynos note 9

The snapdragons have always had better GPUs as well
