regardless of anything, proof or info on how to do it should be provided with such claims..

its not really a good look to claim bl unlock on locked usa variants and provide no proof or info then say he doesnt have the device then he doesnt want to unlock his own device due to knox then claim he has successfully tested two devices which those users havent chimed in or showed proof then say he will get a video posted which also hasnt happened then tell ppl to pm him etc. etc.

id take it with a grain of salt.. not the first time someone has claimed something like this then dissappears or ends up banned.

I agree with you 100%

I was going to test his method and report back but he requested TeamViewer on windows and he only operates during my work hours so I literally have no way of testing it.

Imo I don't believe it but my goal was to come back with something and I couldn't.

If anyone is going to test it I recommend setting up a VM at the very least because TeamViewer is not a great way to protect yourself or your data haha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 117micc:
Thank you so much Mrbeastycakes lmao, I really enjoyed reading your screen name [emoji23] [emoji1787]

So please everyone do not trust anyone saying they can do this for you, they are trying to take your data, etc.

Btw Samsungs new update for my TMobile is bootloader 2.

I wonder if I should hold off.

Probably not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xBkKx:
It's been bootloader 2 since last October or November
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
Not for the 5G version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xBkKx:
That's nice. This thread refers to the SM-N975U1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
I get it, but given they both share 99% of everything else and that there are almost no dedicated threads to the 5G version, a lot of people follow rooting progress here. I'm only making a reference to the bootloader because in the 5G version, it was bootloader 1 until June.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
No one here can answer your question. We don't have an exploit. So telling you this bootloader is better or worse than the last for achieving root is a complete shot in the dark.

Do what your heart tells you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
You are mistaken. I never asked a question. I simply replied to a question someone asked. Before you speak, get your facts together.

Hey everyone,

I think I've mentioned this before, but can we all please be respectful and kind to one another. Regardless of who said what, when, to who, let's stay courteous to others and try to stay on topic. I understand this thread had been around for months, without any real relevant updates, but honestly it covers with the territory.

We are all crossing our fingers and hoping for the same thing, arguing, being disrespectful, or condescending to one another is not going to make an exploit for this device happen any faster. Let's all stay professional and proper please. Thank you so much!

Still waiting patiently for rooting n975u us model

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dashooch77:
This is Samsung's official response to unlocking n75u's bootloader:

There are two kinds of phones in this world: Those that let you unlock your boot loader, and those that don’t. Whether you’re allowed to unlock your boot loader depends on the carrier of your phone and the model you have, along with the region it was manufactured for. Samsung phones don't carry official ways to get the boot loader unlocked nor there is any documentations for the same. Further, Samsung phones manufactured for US carriers are boot loader locked. If a User goes ahead and tries to get the device rooted or boot loader unlocked would have a bricked device and the internet forum's which share this kind of articles do have the disclaimer mentioned on their respective websites. The decryption keys for the data partition and the Knox container contents are lost when packages not blessed by Samsung are flashed, you will just have a boot looping phone on your hands until you wipe data. The e-fuse makes sure that Knox won't initialize on a tampered device nor the services work on these kind of devices. Samsung values you as a customer and want to insure that we have provided you with the answer you were looking for. If for any reason the information we provided did not resolve your issue, we have various contact channels that are available to assist in resolving your concern. For further clarification you can reach us on The phone support number and Hours of Operation are as bellow 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864) Hours of Operation •9:00am - 11:00pm Eastern, Monday through Friday •9:00am - 9:00pm Eastern, Saturday and Sunday Visit us on

It seems that as time goes on the only way to have a phone that has an unlocked bootloader is to buy non flagship devices. I mean really I for one don't care about the gimmicky features. I only care about being able to put some sort of sound mod on my phone and to boost the performance. I'm not a photographer soooo I don't care about having top notch camera features and such.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I mean you could literally buy a pixel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Slypnslyde:
The only reason I haven't went with the Pixel is because of the screen size
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
This seems like a response from a well informed tech support person and not an official Samsung message.

That said it doesn't express anything we don't know, doesn't really change the efforts of anyone attempting to find an exploit to circumvent their fail-safes.

I know a little about it security procedures has anyone attempted any exploits using something like the metasploit framework or other exploit and description tools on kali linux?

With the plethora of tools that are put together in these versions of Linux it seems like there would be some sort of method to get an exploit from one of these established frameworks to disable Knox and possibly get something unlocked even if it's not the full unlocked we're looking for

Good morning Thread, (USA - est here)

I have currently switched from the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus to the. OnePlus 8 5G with T-mobile. I still currently have my Note but I am uploading it to swappa soon with the intentions of selling it as soon as possible. If by some miracle a bootloader unlock and root are achieved before that happens I may keep it, but that is highly unlikely. I will still keep the thread up for now but eventually I may close it or possible transfer it to a reputable developer that wants to continue the thread. Honestly, I'm not sure if that's possible. I truly hope that an unlock is achieved as well as root, and I believe that one day it will. Thanks to all that have participated and been active in this thread, you are immensely appreciated. Good luck

How do I return to stock unlocked?

My phone has to be sent back and I need to return it to unlocked firmware as it was before. I've tried everything but nothing working.

I'm afraid when they boot the phone it will say TMobile and I'll get flagged.

Help please.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Just use Odin to flash the unlocked firmware that your device came with out of the box. I'm not being a jerk, but I don't understand why so many here do things to their devices but then have no idea how to correct things and need help.My best advice is have a better understanding of firnware..odin..flashing before doing anything.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
curious what "follow up" youre looming for exactly? its a service provided by a third party for a fee.. cant really post links or methods because 1. no one knows exactly how 2. its likely server related with tokens which cannot be hacked/spoofed 3. is device specific so not eligible for bounty 4. very few can even do it

i see ur using my root exploits on n8.. good job ?

I'm a newbie to all of this maybe someone can explain, i can get to my dowload screen, recovery screen, etc. I successfully used odin to flash just all stock files and worked 100% so why does everything say I can't root my sm-n975u note 10+ I'm very confused and again new to rooting
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] zach61797:
I have a question it may be dumb but why cant we flash the Chinese unlocked bootloader and firmware to the n975u if everything is the same
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Is everything the same? I'd be careful with that. For example the South Korean Samsung devices this generation are snapdragon. But they don't support all the same bands as the American versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
because they are different models and firmware is signed with different keys so its not possible

I assume US to Canada is the exception to that? Since W models of previous devices could be flashed to U or U1 and probably vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
U U1 W are typically interchangeable but they are all locked variants lol but yes, ypu can flash canadian W firmware onto U or U1 devices
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
considering Android doesnt use grub and they dont explain at all how it could be used in Android I assume they are saying its possibly exploitable on Android because its based on Linux kernel or something.. who knows lol

the partitions/areas samsung ablchecks for flags n what not i assume is not user read/writeable either meaning youd probably need some exploit to elevate priviliges to even begin to try and exploit something like boothole in my opinion..

i also dont see how thats a significant find honestly lol im surprised they even see it as a "bug" considering thats specifically what the grub.conf is designed to do lol.. at least thats what i always use it for lol

Hey guys I have a question regarding unlocking the bootloader, I am planning to get a Note 10+ US version unlocked, but I want to know if you can unlock bootloader already, I want to flash updates manually.

Thank you

you can flash official updates in odin without an unlocked bl

Makes alot of sense why the bootloaders are locked down even harder. Samsung doesn't want people to just use their Hardware for an only Google phone

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I'm speaking in terms of without exploits, as in just a toggle. That why I said they are "only locked". As in an exploit needs to be had. Speaking more towards samsung intent and not on what could be done despite it.

Nevermind last I paid attention to your posts you removed the request for PM because of the response to your message. So I'm not gonna speak on a method I can't directly point someone too.

Otherwise let's update the op with your information and consider this a closed case??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i wasnt referrimg to u more so in general lolpart of the reason ppl dont bother at all anymore is the assumption that they are not possible to unlock which is not always true. Especially lately as ive personally seen s10 through n20 devices bl unlocked.. to add, sm-g977p was actually unlockable out of the box with no extra work.. ppl didnt believe me then either lmao..

and nothing from me to update anywhere lol..i removed that comment bcuz i was advised/warned about it since its a paid service (not provided by me) which is understandable.. its basically a token type unlock im pretty sure but is device specific as its tied to did and requires some other stuff that cant be replicwted so theres a number of reasons its not a good idea to post on xda cuz of the rules.. it is a paid service (pay for each device), device specofic so theres no "universal" method, no free option, will direct traffic off xda, plus since i just used said service and helped some friends and it not being my find we dont know exactly how it even works lol

Last Samsung I had root on was the Note5 (AFAIK the only US Note that had an Exynos processor), I'm seriously considering taking the plunge.

As long as the B/L unlock survives a full factory reset (before I eventually re-sell the device), I'll likely go for it on at least one of my Notes (Note 10+5G & Note 20).

Shady Remote Unlock Service

So this xda article popped up in my google news thread. According to the unlock app:

So basically I gotta send some random guy in Beijing $150.. wait a week, install some 3rd party utils to let him take over my (windows) computer.. and if anything goes wrong I'm out $150 and the only way to get ahold of them is Telegram?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You don't gotta do anything. But yes if you want root bad enough, this method that XDA seems to vouch for themselves is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
I've seen many people already claiming it worked for them on their U1 devices and they were able to unlock their bootloader successfully. I requested myself an unlock. Haven't gotten instructions yet. I'm waiting for them. I will jump on and request before this loophole is clossed by Samsung or someone else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
of course it survives a factory reset.. in fact as a security measure when any android bl unlocks first thing it does is a factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
that is not how it is at all.. price varies depending on device.. can usually b unlocked soon as u make pymt so long as the person is working, if not just wait until hes on.. usb redirector is a software just about every remove service uses and only allows them to control the usb device connected which phone will b in dl mode and obviously is needed or else how can it be unlocked? also refund is not provided if its ur fault like if u provide incorrect DID or dont have a pc or something after knowing the expectations/requirements and since its not as simple as click this and magic happens theres a bit more interaction needed such as if device needs to be rebooted or any instruction is needed how else do u expect to communicate so things go smoothly? if ur still paranoid maybe u can ask the many known devs/users that have already unlocked their devices
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
xda does not vouch for it.. its not supported or xda official or anything.. the post on feed is a user who talks about rooting and what he uses root for and of course since ppl will ask includes a comment about how he got it unlocked so he could root..

as far as xda labs is concerned anyone can develop an app and publish it to xda labs app area..doesnt mean theure all supported by xda.. xda doesnt typically officially support any development work, its a forum where devs and users can post and share their work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
But I mean if you were purposefully creating a malicious app to send your information back to some shady chinese government entity I feel XDA wouldn't be too keen on that being in their app store. Or someone mentioning it in an official XDA article.

Also vouching for the validity in something as simple as "I've used this" certainly isn't the same as official support. That's why I didn't say supported.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Just thought I'd ask, as pointless as the question may seem. If not for the price of admission, I'd never given the idea a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
you are still misinformed.. its not a malicious app sending anything to any chinese entity.. its an app created by the same person who made the feed about his root experience.. the app explains the process and if users want to continue with said process they can push request at which point it opens an emailand sends only model and device DID which they see before sending anything.. email goes to someone who is very american (i know for a fact bcuz i am american lmao)

DID is required for the unlock and is device specific... also if u can think of something anyone can do that is shady with some random persons did then im curious to hear it lol

to add did is not an imei, sn, sim card num, phone num or anything of the like and is in no way tied to thwir network or acct or anything..

i also didnt vouch for it simply bcuz "ive used it".. i personally helped in unlocking every single device that has been unlocked so far so of course i personally vouch for it as i was first in usa to get unlocked, am the only one in usa market that can get it done and the source i have known a long time and have worked with in the past even before unlock was possible..

but hey, im not gonna argue as everyones entitled their opinion.. its available for those that look and those that care to be unlocked/rooted.. if not then they can just go about their day, no need for bashing or making accusations that are inaccurate because of paranoia
