Who are you, his girlfriend? Go away.

To me it just seemed like a post bragging about him having root when others can't get it and obviously wanna know to do so. But if he can't or won't share how he achieved it, then whatever...it is what it is. But nowhere did I see him say he needed you to defend him, especially AFTER he already responded.

I'm done with the topic now though... moving on...

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
just because someone achieves something and let ppl know it is possible but cant provide details for understandable reasons such rules is not in any way bragging about anything.

I dont make the rules on here, in fact I support the rules and enforce them even considering I am a moderator.

Just because someone doesn't want to tell you details (because its simply not allowed) doesn't give you the right to judge people and post negatively about them in public. If you have any issues with me or anyone else I suggest you send them a PM next time.

Showing people that it is possible gives hope to those who feel it is imppssible and hopefully encourages them to keep at it.

I have no reason to lie to anyone and as you can tell uf you did any research on my past activities/posts you should see that every time I achieved root I posted freely to XDA so everyone could take advantage of it. So hopefully you understand if I could post publicly I would have already done so.

I did try to help people out and had them PM me and was advised not to do so even via PM because it is a paid service of which selling these types of services are not allowed on XDA. It is a paid service because the means to unlock the bootloader requires a purchase from a third party. There is no way to provide a "free" method as well as said service is device specific so there is no universal method and each unlock is tied to one device.

Think of it similar to those websites that offer sim unlocks. They are paid services tailored to one specific device. Paid services are not allowed on XDA since typically people use these methods to profit and in the past there have been a number of shady schemes hence why rules were formulated.

I hope this clears things up and you refrain from name calling and negatice remarks to people such as your last comment I quoted.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] jrkruse:
Instead of complaining take the initiative and hit someone up on telegram that you know has done this and im sure they would be glad to guide you too the proper place. Like elliwigy said it’s against xda rules to post such stuff here so why complain about it here. There are threads in s10 and s20 threads with people posting stuff for US unlocked bootloader phones. Hit those people up on telegram or outside of xda because people want too abide by the rules of xda and xda does not want this stuff posted on their forums.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
I don't follow the logic. Samkey is a for profit third party which charges for CSC modifications. SaMobile is another for profit vendor whose links are evewhere on XDA. It seems disingenuous to represent this vendor is fine but not that one. Personally it doesn't affect me as I wouldn't buy a device with a locked bootloader but there's a whole lot of members here who look to XDA for exactly these types of remedies.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] jrkruse:
The logic is that some people follow the rules of xda and I am one. I don’t post links to paid services on xda it is against their policies some people may do it but im not. I’ll gladly share in private any info I may have on the matter but Im not going too do it here

What rules are you guys taking about lmao. Why can't he post it? And I agree with that why not share it. I got an andriod with the hopes of rooting it its only 520 dollars. It won't be that cheap for a couple years. Its an ultra. I am offering a reward to anyone who can help me achieve root.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] digitaljeff:
I honestly don't understand the huge desire for root. Don't get me wrong, there are some things I miss, but ultimately it's a dam good phone as is regardless of varient of S20.

Root mattered a hell of a lot more in androids infancy. Today as it stands, most things that root used to be required for , are baked in.

..in the days of the HTC Dream/g1 we used to have to root to have multi touch support and pinch to zoom in maps...**** just works these days

you're in luck

it costs exactly $100 but it's legit.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] aaron.a:
Think this will ever be public? I get wanting to profit off of your work when you find an exploit and that's dope by me. But the only reason I'd ever want root/bootloader is the community mods that follow.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ChongoDroid:
I think this is a better option because it'll prevent the exploit from being closed. I think $100 is fair for a BL unlock on a phone that'd otherwise never get it.

Also the phone is still relatively new so there's a good chance there'll be a few roms/kernels in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] aaron.a:
Yeah but why would anyone put effort into a kernel/rom for a tiny group of people who paid the $100? That's my point. The price is fair if you need root, but it basically demotivates independent development which is what this community is about.

I don't want root/bootloader unlocks, I want a highly motivated community of independent developers developing dope free ****. The spirit is gone bro.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] jrkruse:
People are already making a lineage build. Most GSI roms work fine. Roms from Chinese variants work on these phones so lots of stuff done and it’s only been around a month or so development is there its just been oppressed for several years. I personally have been on Chinese variants and we have had plenty of development there
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] aaron.a:
I mean if the cash flow stimulates development that eventually goes open source that'd be cool. But trying to sell an exploit on the backs of free development like substratum just feels shady, know what I mean?

Edit: I just want adaway and better audio drivers ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] jrkruse:
Nobody developing is trying too sell any exploit. I make stuff that works for snapdragon variants of s10. I could careless if you pay to unlock your US phone or not. I have done so so I make stuff for it. If I didn’t have unlocked US variant I would have the 0 variant and would still make same stuff. Plenty of people with 0 model variants of s10 will use our stuff as well
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ChongoDroid:
How is it on the backs of anything? If this exploit didn't exist then there'd be zero development at all.

You can buy your $1000 phone and have what Samsung offers or you can buy your $1000 phone, pay a security researcher $100 and have an unlocked version.

Then this isn't for you? Maybe get a pixel 4 or a exynos version.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
lol.. so not having any way to root or unlock bl increases development when its not possible to develop anything?

since ppl started unlocking theres already twrp builds going up, roms, kernels etc. not to mention gsi's and other root stuff that already exists that u cant use unless rooted or unlocked..

i think ur logic is backwards.. it actually drives development in a market where lets face it, has had near 0 development since prior to S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
cash flow? lol

it cannot be open sourced becausecits not an exploit.. its device specific and requires servers and other software and time and effort to unlock each device..

to add, substratum wasnt an exploit either lol.

so i guess i dont know what you mean lol

ppl find exploits and what not all the time.. ppl develop apps like substratum all the time.. if they spent the time, probably $$$ out of their own pocket then they have the right to decide if they want to charge or offer for free just like users have the option to support it or not.. but again, its not an exploit or an app like substraum so it doesnt really fit into either of those categories..

but your response isnt out of the norm, theres always some ppl that will have issues with anything that cost anything no matter if its 1$ or 1000$ lol thats when i started learning how to find stuff on my own and develop bcuz then theres nothing to complain about
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
right.. nearly a decade of development and ive found and posted (for free) the only root methods for s8 s8+ s9 s9+ n9 you and a few others are literally only devs doing anything for usa models for years now :cool:

ppl still complain even when stuff is free haha
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Gregyboy26:
Your saying there a way to root us locked bootloader !? Im really interested to get mine unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
If XDA doesnt allow sharing very useful and highly desired information then the rules should be amended. It makes no sense particularly when there's multiple confirmations the process is legit. If someone is willing to pay for a valid service, that's on the seller and potential client, not XDA. Sorry, I'm not buying the excuses, I feel it's truly disingenuous when it's well established XDA is the premier authority when it comes to android expertise.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ChongoDroid:
Yes, many people have gone through with it. Its a full BL unlock and as mentioned previously it is a paid service. Send me a PM for more information.

XDA forbids paid services which is why it can't be discussed on XDA. Its obviously legit as we're building a ROM for snapdragon lol.

Also I just realized that elliwigy just perfectly explained why this is a paid service and not some exploit that can be "open sourced".
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
every forum has its rules and one of them of course is that they dont allow paid services to be posted. I am sure there are various reasons.

To add, I am sure they didnt just think up the rule out of thin air.. there might have been a point in time early on where they had some issues with said type of services that caused them to implement certain rules.

I am sure in a perfect world it would be fine but unfortunately theres people out there that would probably try and take advantage of the situation. Plus even just allowing it on xda one might say its between user and vlient but thats not how it works. people could complain and if service is doing something illegal then xda could possibky be on the hook for giving them a place to promote said services.. among other things.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
We're getting into the weeds here but I'll share my final thoughts.

"Every forum has its rules and one of them of course is that they dont allow paid services to be posted."

Not so, there are paid services advertised on every XDA page. How could anyone determine all these advisements are legit, just because they're large advertiser's who spend lots of money? Is XDA responsible and liable for their abuses?

Certainly the decision to review potential advertiser's is a critical piece and has it's place. I also understand the need for blocking access to "services" which are scams or have questionable to zero value but this isn't always the case. Agreed it's a fine line however in this particular situation I FEEL this service is a high value solution, the very thing members are hoping to find at XDA and it's a disservice to the members of this community to thwart access.

You come too a point in life when you will finally realize thats just the way things are.

Don’t be this person. Of course you always have the right too purchase xda and implement any rules you want

Yes there is leak with the Samsung source for many devices and services used on them, the bootloaders are one of them.

I believe these files are universal for the device types. (Exynos and Snapdragon) at least the file names say they are.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] V0latyle:
I would be cautious about saying something is "coming soon", especially when the source may be illegal activity. Remember the XDA Forum Rules:

Once something is in the public domain, there's not much that can be done about it...but I can safely say that here on XDA we won't allow proprietary intellectual property to be disseminated without the owner's explicit approval, nor do we allow links to sites that traffic in stolen/pirated software.

So, I do appreciate your discretion. That being said, it would be a good idea to avoid any claims of upcoming releases or methods without a legitimate source, as some people get rather irritated when their hopes are raised for something that ends up being vapor.

Hello All,

I am able to tether my device to my laptop and have no problems when not connected to another network via my internal network interface.

I was wondering what the proper TCPIP configuration would be to support using my tethered device to access the internet from my laptop at work (to avoid the corporate proxy), but still allow me to using my work network resources.

Currently, when I tether, I have to disable my laptop NIC. I think I am having a problem with my default gateway settings.

Thanks in advance.

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] zeroichi:
Try flashing it with original firmware

what kind of XZ1 you got?

if it's Japanese XZ1 AU(SOV36) in this case, just like mine, you have to stick with original ROM from AU Japan..

if u flash it with global firmware, you'll encounter that randoom restart / reboot problem

No official custom rom support from anyone, kernel 4.4 and 4.9 wifi problems, no further updates from sony open devices project and for sodp 4.14....yeah. this phone is dead as a dodo

i thought xz1 might worth an upgrade. tremendous performance upgrade than 820, ufs 2.1, lpddr4x memory.....there are two custom roms that i see has official support for it. carbonrom and pixelexperience. i saw xz1s scattering around my online local marketplace that some people say they got random reboots, some say not.

thanks for advice. I'll be looking forward to buy the version as you suggested. i hope i can stick with it at least a year....

I want to buy this phone for my dad but there is no global variant available just yet but can find the indian variant.

I don't want to unlock the bootloader and have to go through the process of getting google pay to work

Was just hoping to keep the bootloader locked but flash the official global or eea rom using the MiFlash tool was wondering if this is okay or do you have to have the bootloader unlocked to go to another region ROM?

If it is okay how do you do it using MiFlash? I've only ever used MiFlash on my unlocked Mi 9T Pro.

18% GST additional levied on both the board price and labour charges. Considering for battery replacement the latter is around INR 300-350 expect it to be much higher for mobo replacement. I think there's a chance they wont even agree to it. And in any case if any issue arises they will bear no responsibility and you might end up spending extra to rectify it.
