this is very upsetting I thought if I paid this device off it is by law that the carrier Verizon or other carriers must if requested unlock the phone so you can use it with other carriers which and means I thought by this unlocking it you could unlock the bootloader root it and be happy.

looks like once I get some money I'm looking to a phone that has a SD card slot phone jack that's unlockable and rootable without problems and this one's going to go into the safe.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sw1173:
Nobody is *****ing about paying for someone's time, but you are shilling for a paid service not an exploit like you and others have provided in the past. If it's your service them be upfront and say so
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
they will sim/carrier unlock it upon request once its paid off.. theyve never unlocked bootloaders themselves lol
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
paid services arent allowed on xda so why would i go about saying it? how about if u dont agree with something or only have negative things to say you just dont comment?

intentionally replying or posting negatively just to get ppl to respond isnt a good way to go about a forum.. also refrain from using profanity
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitti2:
I would change the title not unlockable and not unrootable.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
why? clearly says root and bl unlock discussion which hasnt changed
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitti2:
call me stupid g975u is not unlockable to root? Is so there isnt anything to discuss about it.

title is misleading.

Shill. Send money to an anonymous person in China,no refunds, no guarantee that it will work, and no way to have a third-party service to advocate for the consumer is a perfect business model for a scam
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
it is via a paid service which you can believe or not i dont really care
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
still, inaccurate in all aspects.

1. consumer doesnt send any momey to china, its sent to me who am in the USA using Venmo which is tied to my personal FB which is also only available in the USA.

2. I do give a refund for certain things like if for some reason device cannot be unlocked and is not due to error on cobsumers part such as if consumer provides the wrong DID after i verify and ensure they provide correct did which is near impossible to happen but u get the idea.

3. It is guaranteed to work qnd has worked on many devices already which leads me to next point.

4. I am a third party and wouldnt be advocating for it or even talking about it if it was a scam. Theres also many known devs that have used the service on various devices who also vouch for it as well as theres a group where everyone whos used the service is a part of that can also vouch for it and have successfully had their bl unlocked.

So again, you have your opinion but should refrain from such comments that are not backed up by any facts of which actual facts support the contrary.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sw1173:
Read your apk which states everything that I quoted. You are using XDA to shill for your Chinese partner. I used to have respect for you as a developer. Not anymore after you just divulged you are the conduit for payment.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
again, do your research before commenting..

It is not my app, that post was created by a app developer who used the service to unlock his device and created the app as a way for some ppl interested as to how he unlocked and as a way to point users in the right direction to unlock their devices.. i didnt write the app or create it and have no control over what is in it.

i am not shilling anything on xda whatever that means. you dobt see me creating threads or apps or selling anything on xda. i cant control what other ppl say or do. Not sure where u live nor cqre but im in usa and its a free country here where ppl can say or do as they please so if someone who used the service wants to talk about it or make an app etc. then that is their choice, not mine.

dunno what you are trying to imply by being a conduit lol but i work with many devs in various countries that i have worked with over the years and that i trust. In this case my source wasnt willing to sell in usa market because various reasons (one being people like you) and since we have trust and me being in the usa agreed to support usa markets given that they go through me. Just about every business has a sales team and/or "resellers" who sell products or services for said companies/businesses, there is nothing shady about it.

I am wondering if the source was in any other country besides china if you would even have the same "feelings" as you do now but of course politics and such discussions have no place on XDA.

With that being said, you are free to respect who you want, i could care less if you support me or any other persons. I have provided much support, exploits, root methods, roms, other mods, support on everything from random general questions to even moderating over a decade now all of which has been free and done from my own free will and time as a hobby and will continue to do so despite anyone and especially for people who cant do these things or develop on their own and who dont have sources like I do.

Have a good week!

Is someone offering a BL unlock / root service for $150? I'm interested in this service but cant find any info.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
s10+ is not 150$
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
lol 90% of ur 157 posts are in this chat smh
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sw1173:
It;s nice to know you can read, shill. Here's the definition of shill:

an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others.. If the shoe fits
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
Help! I need to shill with some shills!

Anyway, the S10 plus probably costs $100 to unlock the bootloader. The note ultra costs $150 according to the article.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
im not enticing or encouraging anyone.. in fact quite the opposite usually.. i would refuse to help someone unlock if they have doubts
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
what article.. and n20 devices are not 150 either
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
This article:

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-root-us-unlocked-snapdragon-865/

Says the note 20 ultra is $150 to bootloader unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
that article doesnt have prices listed anywhere in the article. the comment also doesnt say n20 is 150.. i also didnt write that article nor is the person who did the one that does the unlocks either.. in the end it doesnt really matter anyways lol
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
I found this from the author in the comments section of the article:

zacharee

24 days ago

So it turns out there's a lot of complaints/questions/whatever I didn't anticipate when I was writing this. Let's fix that in this comment.

"$150 is a lot of money! Who would want to pay that?"

I know I did actually address this, but I'm going to do it more explicitly here.

Yes! $150 is a lot of money! If you don't want to pay it, you don't have to. This article wasn't meant to try to convince people to buy a US Samsung and root it.

But in my specific case, the amount I paid was worth it. I only paid $700 for my Note20 Ultra, thanks to a Note9 trade-in, a student discount, and a 5% referral discount. A $150 bootloader unlock brought the total up to $850. That's still cheaper than buying an Exynos variant, and I get proper US cell support.

Finally, $150 is the maximum price. The Note20 series is $125, and older devices can dip under $100. It's only the Fold2 that currently costs $150.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
which isnt in the article itself, its in comments, is 24 days old, author doesn't do the unlocks and only unlocked his device as well as n20 is still not 150.

it doesnt matter anyway.. ppl either take it for what it is or dont.. i could care less really..

there has been more ppl unlocking n20 devices more than any other devices and are 100% satisfied
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
I don't know the author or his credit. Leaving my phone as is. Just passing along the info.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea, thats what lots do these days.. take something they read that might not be true or doesnt give all the details.. like fake news or qanon lol
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
Hahaha QAnon. Well it was on XDA so I linked it. Maybe another root method will surface eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
its not a root method its a bl unlock method (which can then root if u want)

i wouldnt count on it getting root via any other means but to each their own
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SpectreSpecter:
Ever thought about making a substitute bootloader while disabling/bypassing secure boot? I'm sure there would be other things preventing that but as someone who knows nothing about hacking phones in general, but I would like to know everything that would prevent this as well.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Thinking about what I just said more, that would maybe do a secure check fail if there is anything like that, so perhaps make set your phone to emergency mode to start up and edit secure checks to not be used in emergency mode, or that edit it so that there would edit that even if secure check were to find problems, that when in emergency mode, it would bypass them, allowing you in and turning the boot on rooting the phone, then turning the boot off then turning off emergency mode. Once again, total noob in phone hacking, I would like to know everything that could go wrong with this, as well as if what I said made any logical sense.

Hey all. I have a SM-G975U that I got as a replacement from Asurion after cracking the screen on the unlocked S10+ I bought direct from Samsung. I've been rooting since 2010 and am investigating root for this, but all methods I've found involve using developer options to enable OEM Unlock (supposedly a Samsung provided bootloader unlock option...?), and my phone does not have this (even after trying the set the date back 7 days stuff). Does anyone know if this is worth digging into any further, and I may find a way? Thanks

All three of those links are broken. Is this a proprietary method you developed and have decided to capitalize on, or are you just pointing me to someone else who has done that?

I'm an electrical and computer engineer with MSEE and work in aerospace power electronics (so I have access to all the equipment I desire). I'd much rather buy the Intel and do it myself, if it's for sale.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
no offense but the links are good and being an engineer you should have done a little research to know that the U model is not able to be bl unlpcked and there will be no pption in dev settings..

also, paid services arent allowed to be discussed on xda but its a paid service and device specific so there is no one trick unlocks all method here.. and no, the actual method to generate said unlocks is not for sale.

if u think im in it for money then i suggest u dont bother reaching out to unlock ur device. i discourage anyone with concerns to unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sbcdave:
I'm so confused. A senior member, StoneyJSG, pointed me to three links, none of which worked for me, and when I mentioned that and asked about the method and if the intel was for sale, mainly so I don't have to ship my phone to someone I don't know, but also because I'm generally interested in my options and the links don't work, a moderator, elliwigy, got seemingly offended about my questions, says we're not allowed to discuss the paid service they're apparently selling, and says the links do work, which they don't. Is this really happening?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
links work for me

"intel" is not for sale. You dont ship your phone anywhere... its a remote service...

i am not offended at all lol.. just how i normally talk. I could however say your post seemed offensive as well lol. but this is one of my many chats so i dont care really but others might.

and I am the one that provides said paid service. but as stated already, paid services arent allowed on xda so i said that to inform you in advance that i cannot provide any details on it. its known theres a paid service but we are not allowed to discuss prices, link to site or even discuss via pm. not bcuz its not legit or anythimg bit simply to follow the forum rules.

its basically word of mouth at this point.. if u look around ull eventually find ur way if it is an option for u. for example if u look at the apps on labs or usa model twrp threads etc im sure evemtially ull see something lol.

cant post any info=methods on it as i dont even have that. I know how it works essentially but not how to generate the needed files so i have tp purchase them for each device since its tied to devices unique DID. bcuz i have to purchase the files, it isnt free.. but ppl can weigh cost vs reward and decide if its something theyre willing to pay for or not.. its not a get rich scheme. in fact if anyone has any doubts or are unsire if its worth it then i discourage them.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sbcdave:
Thanks for the clarification and info. I'll look around more to see if I can figure out how this process would work and how I can begin it if it looks good. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
Yeah the links aren't working now, maybe a liability issue? It's not my unlock method, but it's one that's been discussed here on XDA. It's some guy in China that does it remotely for a price.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] s4androiduser:
After the S10+ (G975U) is BL unlocked, is there a guide to get root access? Will the guide for root on the S10+ for exynos work?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sbcdave:
Hey StoneyJSG. I started the search again today to figure out how I can get root for my S10+

The first link miraculously worked for me today, but the others still do not. When I try to copy the link from the HREF it shows the ellipsis (...) in the link, which I think is related to them not working, despite the fact that the first one just worked, and also had the ellipsis in the URI, which suggests it might be a glob of some kind that the forum can interpolate. Maybe, new posts have similar enough names that the forum can no longer interpolate this glob and that's why my links don't work, and maybe elliwigy has them cached, so his do...?

If you can find the working links and help me get them I would really appreciate it. I'm getting very tired of the bloatwear and inability to do other things I want to do with this now older phone.

This info is surprisingly hard to find. People are post-happy, so there is an ocean of unuseful info to search through and I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneyJSG:
The links are dead, I am guessing XDA removed them. You have to pay to have it bootloader unlocked, some dude in China does it. There was an app too that gave more info, but it seems to be gone as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sbcdave:
Thanks for helping me through this. Do you have any contact info for the person that can do this, or any other info that might help me find contact info for them. They seem to have ghosted

Very interested in this, although I'm not sure I want to be the first person here to try it. My phone is my daily driver and I don't have a spare/backup.

I wonder if OTA updates stop working once you unlock the bootloader via this method?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
lmao u arent the first.. theres a few hundred ppl at this point from s10 to n20 devices that have unlocked.

otas work if on fully stock firmware and device status is official. once u root or modify something and device reads as custom is when otas will fail. you would then need to update using odin.

once root is ready i send you usb redirector customer module then i tell you what address to put in and thats it. its very simple. Ive not had any issues so far using it.

Its carrier unlocked but they will not issue an orm unlock option.

they never have.. no carrier has issued "oem unlock".. devices either came unlockable or not and of course over last yesrs they default to being locked..

only option to unlock is via token/paid service if ur device is eligible for that..

you also cannot edit any bootliaders.. when device turns on it verifies bootloaeer against root key embedded in the hardware so if it doesnt authenticate not only will you have a "secure check fail" youll have a hard brick and need to use EDL mode with officially signed firehose files..
