i now have uid 1000 access.. with how selinux contexts and ownership is in pie tho i can only access stuff that is mounted rw and system user/group which so far is cache, carrier, efs, data, qdmdbg and various files spread throughout.

dev block wise i can access persistent, and steady partitions.. other than that i can write to the ones that are already mounted.

uid 1000 is a step in the right direction tho... beats shell 2000 uid
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
not to mention the method for uid 1000 should be there on any sammy device with combo firmware lol
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Chibisuke1219:
Hi is there anything i can do to help at all cause if so i am willing i have found some stuff online as well posted it in a different post but can share it here if u are interested
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dave357:
I am definitely interested in learning more and being a part of this convo fellas! I have been in the Bus for at least 8 years now and want to learn the next step which is how to navigate around the S10 S10+ Security Features. Anyone mind showing me a few ropes please?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Vell123:
This is similar to the techniques used to write imei on cpid phones. Can you share the scripts? You use for temp root.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
Any good reads is welcome!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
There is no scripts lol. I can't share the method or files to get to combo.

An update however, I noticed with system prices you can access the efs folder.

I found a way to pass kernel cmdline to the bootloader to set ro props.

I am still messing with it and need an rma as I messed up my efs and can't get cell service now lol
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Vuska:
Is S10+ Snapdragon will get root / magisk in anytime soon?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
Who knows lol. Similar to N9 seems like I'm only one working on it lol

Currently stuck In a boot loop as i found a exploit for kernel cmdline injection and set ro.secure=0 which it didn't like. I didn't read the info sammy posted on new securities on s10 lineup around additional security around RKP and Knox Verified Boot. It is not the same as say pixel devices as they added onto it
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Chibisuke1219:
I was told in the other thread that what i had found was more than likely BS but if u still what the link i can give it also am still willing to use my phone as some help if u need it

Edit: switching phone sry guys but keep workin hard i will keep looking for new s10 + finds even though i wont have it and ill keep u updated with whatever i find
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ph3n0x:
Try and flash G97500 I know on older devices it would boot if you used flash fire not sure if you can dd it or not Odin probably wont like it but worth a try just make a system tar and flash it but you would also need that combo firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] erdapa:
I'm rockin' the s10+ (am g975u)....

I want root!

I will make pwmage!

Stay tuned!

Since you have UID 1000 access, wouldn't you be able to dump the partitions off the phone?

If so, why not dump each of the writable partitions and then compare checksums/bits before and after doing the unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nickman529:
I have the g975u and am willing to help however
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
If only some engineer from the Samsung side would leak some tools for us or leak some info about how the bootloader lock works internally. These newer phones are becoming harder to crack just like the newer video game consoles.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
nope
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
there is tools and documents.. its not that easy tho.. theres multiple security measures in place.. there hasnt been anyone that was able to break it for a looong time.. i think since s4 or so when security wasnt as good..

theres official means to allow custom binaries but this involves tokens which are hard to find and if u can find they arent cheap as well as they are device specific
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jwarrior319:
S5 bootloader was easily unlockable. I believe starting with the S6 they started increasing security. Weather co-incidentall or not thats when batteries were no longer removable.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

Has anyone tried DSU https://developer.android.com/topic/dsu yet? Im assuming it wont work due to bootloader lock and oem participation, etc. It dosent list unlocked bootloader as a requirement though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
it doesnt list unlocked bl as a requirement as it installs gsi to data partition.. however, in my tests running the tools it says it requires root
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RaverX3X:
Honestly, dug into this a little deeper, it seems that only the S10 Sprint version can be bootloader unlocked, Other carriers in the US mandate bootloaders to be locked, sometime back around the S6 era, it was and then there was the whole FTC debate where Carriers were going to charge money to unlock the bootloader, alas after the S7 arrived, The carriers just mandated all the bootloaders to be unlocked.

Honesty Elliwigy showed the sprint version can be unlocked, if you need one I would just buy one directly from sprint Flash the U1 firmware to remove as much of the bloat as possible, it still leaves FB and spoitfy sadly.

I did unpack and repack a stock rom and removed those however it never quite worked right. Honestly, if you can get a modified one swap the Spotify , Facebook and Samsung contacts etc to the vendor install that way it can be at least remove and uninstalled.

Think about that with the S20 when you upgrade, find out what carrier offers unlocked bootloaders and go from there ..

My next phone will NOT be Samsung ever again they are bloated pos thanks to US Carriers.

Each year it is getting almost impossible to exploit new phones if they block the bootloader from being unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
im confused.. u should be able to remove those apps entirely with ease on g977p... the only app u cant remove is the kgclient as device will lock..
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RaverX3X:
You cannot as they embedded them into the system partition, so you need root access to uninstall them. Even on the U1 firmware they still leave Facebook etc embedded along with the Samsung browser etc, if it was installed into the extra data folder when flashed, it would be user removable. Alas it is not and its the 975u not the 977p
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sergioheadache1:
hi, can you explain in more detail how to edit the "steady.bin" file
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
no. it is 0 use anyways.. u cant make an eng token if thats wat ur implying..

also, if u dont know how to use a hex viewer to edit a bin file then im afraid its not as easy for u as u think
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Akaze:
Actually I removed both of them with ADB. Its not that hard to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
uninstalling and removing are 2 sifferent things.. yes u can uninstall with adb but the actual files are still there
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
So I am guessing that root won't be achieved for the Galaxy S10 line outside the exynos variants?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
most likely correct since it seems no one is working on it after i sold my s10+
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
to add, i replaced it with a sprint snapdragon s10 5g which is bl unlockable
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] samccfl99:
Well thanks for the try. I got a New S5(G-900A) in 2014 (I am stuck with ATT since I am on a friends family plan which I only give him $30 a month). The S5 came with KK. It was a few months and then Safestrap and TowelRoot were invented and used TM's rom. When they First went to LP, they were barely able to make GOOD VISUAL mods, because of the ART or whatever. After Stock OC3(?) it did not work anymore. I Never went to it. The S6 was rooted almost instantly! Never got one, no point, especially with NO sdcard (WTF?) I had the S5 for almost 4 years and bought a used Pristine 935-F for $280 on Ebay. Been on Superman since I got it. The thing about that is ATT knows by the IMEI that it is not an "A" and the wifi calling don't work. Oh, it did in the beginning. When it did not do that I called tech support and they did "something" and made it work. 5 months later, my voicemail was messed up and I had to call tech support and they "fixed" it and then the wifi calling did not work anymore. I found out that at first they must have "fudged" the IMEI and after resetting the voicemail, they put the REAL IMEI into their billing system and that was the end of that and they said too bad. SUCKED. Sorry for that long history.

You know that Samsung phones spoil people. I recently tried (and returned) a REDMI Note8. The Screen is Totally not so great when compared to my S7E. It was a bit faster and real cheap ($184, now less). The PIE pissed me off, even though it had good battery life. I never even unlocked the BL since it takes a week for the Chinese to allow it after applying...??? Nuts. I could not even get ADB to work to freeze some apps (something I recently found out...ADB...LOL).

Since you seem to know a lot, I have been asking in the PIE Deluxe Rom and LightRom threads about my BL + CP. I would like to try one of those, but no one can tell me if I have to update the BL/CP (or even answer my posts), and if I do, would I be able to restore my SMan backup? Maybe someone in here knows. Attached is a screenshot of the Samsung Info app. I really would have went back to N on the 935-F, but once that DRAG BL was flashed, adios to that. WHY GOOGLEY/SAMSUNG??? :eek::rolleyes::D

THANKS in advance for any suggestions!

Hi, whats the model # for that phone which you bought also if you can unlock that phone will it work with Verizon and GSM?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
its a g977p.. and mine is unlocked.. one of my connects unlocked it for free.. i dunno what itll work on as i only tried/use on sprint.

i also got it for free lol.. long story short bought at best buy and bricked it before activating it.. was a process to get it returned/exchanged but when they did they forgot to add the lease back so it shows i completely own it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cleopete:
Not holding my breath. Haven't had an unlocked VZ phone since the Note 4+, and I'm sure we're were just phenomenally lucky to get that. As I recall, after months of failed attempts to crack it, someone at Samsung, accidentally or on purpose, leaked the code for Q10 seconds and a dev grabbed it before they could pull it. Don't see that happening again.

Hi, I have a sprint s10+ (G975USQUBSIO) and keep getting update notifications. I'm still waiting on a root method. Should I update to latest or wait in case there's a root? Any advise.

You cant get past the second step, there is no OEM unlock option. If there was this thread wouldn't be a thing. But Samsung gotta be like that...
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
Ah okay, I figured it was just some site blowing smoke up our phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
even if there is an oem unlock option it still doesnt work. i have tried on g975u and n976v. theres other security in place to prevent it.

its also possible that the bootloaders just do not have the capability at all to be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
Sadly, it looks like the S9 will be the last Samsung phone to ever be rooted, aside from the Spring 5G version of the S10 that is.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] goofwear:
Have you tried this? After you did your unlock. The step about vaultkeeper after you reboot.

https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock...ps_to_Unlock_Bootloader_on_Samsung_Galaxy_S10

Quote "Just when you think the bootloader is unlocked, surprise surprise, it is actually not! Samsung introduced inVaultKeeper the system, meaning the bootloader will reject any unofficial partitions before explicitlyVaultKeeper allows it.

Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we are installing Magisk. Connect the device to the internet in the setup though!

Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out! The VaultKeeper service will unleash the bootloader after it confirms that the user has the OEM unlocking option enabled. This step is to simply make sure the service gets the correct info, and also double check that our device is in a correct state

Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode, a.k.a actual bootloader unlocked :D. Follow on to read the rest of this guide."
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
its not uart access.. the cmdline buffer overflow is a exploit i found.. and u need the files to bypass factory token to get on combo to be able to use my exploits..but only need system privs technically
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
why bother when the bl is not unlocked or unlockable?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] goofwear:
The original poster in the first post said he was able to get download mode to say unlocked boot loader when he flashed a combination file. Bit when he tried to do anything else it said it was still locked. This article states that there is a new step when trying to unlock boot loaders unlike years ago when you just unlock and ready to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
that post and step is still irrelevant as bl is not unlockable but u can waste all the time ud like trying it
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
Good to know people are still trying on this. The thing is, it's locked up pretty tight, so it will probably take years to crack it if it can be cracked ever at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sw1173:
Without Samsung giving up the Token we are mostly playing with ourselves. If carriers sell the unlockable OnePlus, it can't be the carriers demanding that the BL be unlockable. If a corporate purchasing large volumes of the flagships then Samsung can customize the units, and not punish the rest of us.

I say while working on this ,also offer a inside spammy worker to spill the beans? Think about it probably close to a 3 grand bonus and maybe even get to leave spammyhq with a huge smile knowing he is no longer a robot but a free man.!

I got $50 towards to his freedom from the drone bot institute!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tearlach2:
OP is weird. He left this bread because he bought a s10+ brain cook edition and got huffy about an online way to unlock the boot loader he was told about, simply repeating you cannot unlock boot loader, though he knows you can because of his super secret eng firmwares he gets from Korean hackers or whatever he wants us to believe, but he cannot use. People who use windows have melted brains I swear.

People on here used to know wtf they were doing.

Just a point for the point. He condescendingly acted like it was hard to use a hex editor to a guy in one post and in another said he doesn't know xml guess he never wrote an app. Joker. He actually cracked the s8 first? Bs double joker.

Having said that I'd donate 100 or actually .01btc to him if he managed to flash u1 tmo to u1 and prove it. But he already sold the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] revized:
I think elliwigy is super cool :)

i can understand some of the devs frustration because sometimes they forget that spammy send out his drone bots to pretend to be regular users when in reality they are servants of spam, with one objective to get the devs to quit working on anything. One thing i am sure of and dont loose sight of, is if anyone frustrates, makes fun of, or puts down a dev then you can 100% guarantee its a drone doing his duty!

Well back to the topic at hand. i thought that anything that was locked by some code can be hacked and unlocked by some code? , keep in mind that i know nothing about code, just a simple guy that would like to be able to de-spam my phone, that's it. Owning a Spam-a-nation station deivce is like being on a long drive in a car with someone who only knows and believes what they have heard on the news and has no common sense of thier own. We would not be able to chat for very long until it obvious i made a big mistake by getting into thr car with that person, well that is what its like owing a non rooted spammy drone phone except for the fact that its with me ALL day long!!! Phew glad i got a rooted exynos model, hence the sanity. Still would like to see us models unlocked, just for the simple fact that it pittys me to see the adverage masses so spammed upon that they end up resorting to getting in the car ALL DAY LONG with an apple head. Reason must be because nowadays with the bootloader (code) locked spammy's and apple heads are about equal on the common sence level.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
hahah.. ur funny

ppl like u r the reason ppl like me are non existent anymore.

truth is bl is unlockable. but u can keep believing what u want, im not here to impress you or anyone else as well as i dont need to share anything.

if ppl think devs are in it for a lousy 100$ then thats just sad. I have moved on. i attached a photo with my current device/setup.. of course ull prolly thinknits fake too but who cares lol.

No reason to slam the OP

The OP is not al fault for changing his phone to one that could be unlocked by a method that he won't share. The issue is that Samsung locks the BL for no good reason. Their excuse that has been posted in this forum is that their corporate customers and the providers demand it. Look at the offerings from T-Mobile, Verizon that can be BL unlocked. Only AT&T doesn't. The QUALCOMM chipset is only locked at Sammy's demand. All Samsung phones sold outside North America are BL unlocked and can be rooted without voiding the warranty. It's time we stopped blaming each other and put the hat on Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mobile_sensei:
Agreed

Agreed my friend... Exactly why I am now retired recognized developer & like you refuse to even engage with the 'beez' who think that the newest secure architecture iPhones can attain root but our S10+ can't. Education, loyalty, friendship, curiosity pays
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tearlach2:
turns out you were wrong. it is bl unlockable, but you have to go online and it isn't free like motorolla. up to $150 to sammy which is scammy. this is how I had to unlock my bl on my moto x but like I said that was free.

works on an s20 too if that is what you have (not just 5g), didn't bother looking at your screen-cap.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
ok, start with you, throw all ur samsung products in the trash then buy an LG or Pixel or wait, those are all locked too on US carriers.. hmm..
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
righr lol.. its a full time job sometimes defending urself fighting off the trolls.. sad really when ur the only one literally bringing exploits and ways to unlock bl (paid or not) whereas they wouldnt have anything lol

id say lately each thing i publish i am less and less involved because it can get pretty rediculous.. s9 n9 root i released it then luckily have friends that help out n manage threads for other devices else i probably wouldnt bother lol

this bl unlock isnt even posted on xda n still ppl complain then if it was even allowed ppl would complain anyways cuz its a paid service lol a service which technically isnt even mine so i have no control over cost.. im just a middle man whereas usa woulda never even had the option lol

anyway, rant over lol enjoy ur peace and quite in retirement lol i might be close behind
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
huh? wrong about what? lmao

you do realize eventually if u or anyone else decides to do the service ull eventually get back to me for the service right? lol confused..

i have two g988u and g986u all of which were the first to be unlocked.. have helped just about everyone thats unlocked so far including various s10 n10 s20 n20 and even flip devices so not sure what im wrong about? lol

its not my service but is also not an exploit and involves servers and tokens of sorts which i assume isnt free which is why i assume source has to charge.. theres a lot of effort that goes into unlocking via this service and takes up hours from multiple people daily.. i wouldnt expect anyone to sit there and literally work non stop for hours on end just to benefit others for free all the while paying out of their own pocket for strangers to unlock their phones lol
