I was sent a picture of the device by the seller. Idk if they updated the device but it was ordered wednesday for a friday delivery so they could tell me build number. So where can I find a v1 bootloader? Idk what other device id be interested in but I dont have a phone anymore since last weekend. Ive thought about saying F it and just going to iPhone.

Oh note I did not buy the device. Its getting hard for sellers to tell me build number on S20.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
In case you want to buy, 5th character from the right is bootloader version.

List of unlockable versions in 2nd post.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Droid9684:
The seller that sent me the baseband version told me I can flash older firmware then root :ROFLMAO: ... they dont understand boot loader has to be unlocked first.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Droid9684:
@afaneh92 I cant not find the unlockable versions thread

Is it possible to unlock a VZW Samsung A10e, baseband A102USQS9BTL1?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Yes v9 can be unlocked, dont update to rev A
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Droid9684:
Right so I took another look at the list. It doesn't show the firmware baseband versions that can be unlocked. Just the models of device. This is becoming a chore to find a SM-G986U/U1 that can be BL unlocked. Seems all the devices are newer and updated on the market and sellers wont give me info on Ebay. Only that one seller from different site which was a updated device. I've already gone a week without a phone now since S5 G900V died. What do you suggest I do? Any good place elsewhere I can look? I've tried Swappa and Ebay seems like big corporations selling updated phones.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Droid9684:
How about G986U1UEU1ATBN?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Yes can be unlocked

Can the A32 5G be done if it is on V4?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JoJoLanny58:
Why cant I find the download link for the paid services?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
what is your bootloader version? 5th character from the right on build number?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JoJoLanny58:
4
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JoJoLanny58:
It's a G998U
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
only v1 can be unlocked
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] geoffwdixon:
Hello can my bootloader be unlocked?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
only v3 or below, you are on v5
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tonycstech:
This is sad.

While back, people would post their unlock methods here for everyone to use.

Now they sell it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ldeveraux:
yeah how dare they!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Their, you are correct.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tonycstech:
That explains why only a hand full of people know how to unlock it.

If they would tell the public how to unlock bootloaders, public would have already figured how to unlock bootloader v9

They cant unlock V9 so their paid service is useless for most people anyway and yet they keep it posted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JLamp:
I've got a SM-A326W that I updated to V4 during the initial set up not realizing it would stop the bootloader from being unlocked. I have read your responses and understand that both unlocking or rolling back versions are not currently possible.

Will unlocking be possible eventually down the road at some point or is the phone permanently screwed?

I need to have my phone rooted and am wondering if I'm going to have to return the phone and get a different one or is it just a matter of waiting for a solution to be found?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Its been long time with no unlock for newer bootloaders. I would suggest to return it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JLamp:
Fair enough! Will get it swapped and use your previous instructions for preventing the auto updates. Thanks for clearing that up!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Amd4life:
If anyone has a Samsung with 5G that has already been unlocked and are looking to sell it, please pm me. I can't seem to find the right phone, with the correct firmware, to purchase anywhere.

Hello friends! It makes sense to unlock SM-G965 Galaxy S9+ if there is no Recovery (TWRP) for it? Can I install custom firmwares?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Pretty sure that there's no way to revert back to a previous Bootloader version..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
No way, unless you have developer device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shaggyskunk:
I was responding to the lines between the arrows on the screen shot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
You can downgrade the firmware security patch if its on same bootloader rev. On some devices like S20/N20/Fold2
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Well yes - That's what I was saying 😉
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kgirlx:
Afeneh92,

I used your services here on my 1st S10+, Verizon model. Worked great. I now have an unlocked model, 975U1. I updated to latest firmware that can be unlocked, v4, Feb 2021. My quesstion is, i want to unlock this phone and install the AIO for TWRP and Magisk, but i want to flash the Verizon firmware on it. Should i use your service 1st now to unlock, then safely Odin to the Verizon v4, Feb 2021 firmware? Or is it possible to crossflash from this unlocked to Verizon v4 with a locked bootloader and not brick, and then use your service? Thanks for any advice.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Current firmware can converted to Verizon by changing csc after unlock, and doesn't matter the order.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kgirlx:
OK, so i should be able to Odin to the Verizon v4 firmware, no risk of brick, and then use your service to unlock the bootloader. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Yes you can, but most recent firmware are multicsc. You need single csc firmware or just unlock and change the csc manually.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kgirlx:
the Verizon firmware isnt a single csc? im not familiar with these multicsc or single csc stuff.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
Explains what exactly? And yes, only a handful of people do know how to generate tokens and unfortunately they are not xda members and do not share their methods and only sell tokens so unfortunately its all we have to even have the option if ur device is on eligible firmware..

and yes, it is still posted bcuz ppl still have devices on older firmware that they want to unlock. Just because some ppl have updated devices doesnt mean everyone does. Its just the nature of the game.

Its also been commonplace for years now if you get a samsung and want to hopefully root one day that u dont do regular updates.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
sad.. i just traded in a bootloader unlocked g986u lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
I have a G988U but pretty sure cant sell devices on xda lol.. thats what swappa is for but not sure if i want to post it for sale yet or not
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
his wording isnt the best as saying "bootloader version" can be taken as bootloader rev lol.. but yea, long as its same rev ur good as in I can go from android 12 rev4 bootloader down to android 11 rev4 bootloader on my g998u1 is what he meant
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shaggyskunk:
I think that there used to be an XDA Marketplace - But not sure,

a) if it still exists.

b) why if you're trying to sell your phone, why wouldn't you just use a more local sales site. ie: in Canada we have Kijji.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Droid9684:
I ended up buying one new that could be unlocked on ebay. And was talking to someone else looking for a G986u recently.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
bcuz if someone on xda wants to buy it then local sale wouldnt help lol would need to post to swappa or something then have them order lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dave678:
Does this bootloader unlock work for Note 9 Android Oreo ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] abcde12345:
Just checking, is this s21 ultra unlockable yet? Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] By-Maid:
Whats the difference bettween v1 & v2?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
bootloader rev, changes with security updates, and that rev work since its on Feb 2021 or older.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] caspuh:
ok, I promise I'm not a complete moron. I've been..uhm..away, for 5 years so it's been a min. last phone i rooted was my S5. Anyways, I've gone through these posts and I still don't see where I go to purchase this service. But I might be blind and it could be right in front of me.. sooo..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] caspuh:
So, since v4 can't be unlocked, noway the new t-mobile update to v6 is coming anytime soon correct?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] saoudien07:
I am already on rev 6 sadly :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] toddbuhr:
I just received a new-to-me S9+ with a Baseband version of G965USQU9FUE1. I am unsure after reading the thread....can I unlock the bootloader on this device? Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
yes you can, contact me
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] saoudien07:
Kind of in the same dilemma.

Thinking about saling and taking an unlookable variant instead.

Actually in possession of an S20 FE 5G / US , so looked Bootloader :((

So thinking about to sell it, and get a S20 FE 4G unlookable instead.

What do you think guys?? Do you think that the S20 FE 5G gona be unlookable one day???

@afaneh92

@elliwigy

Thx you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
just get G781B its unlockable and 5G

no ETA for new bootloaders yet
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] heisenberg17:
okay so I got this Note 9 with v8 bootloader..

will it ever be possible to root this thing?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:

Contact me need more information about the device. But since its 2019 device can be unlocked.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nameless Foe:
Lol. Well fortunalty, this service is legit and 100% works! Myself and many others thought It was not possible until we found our way to this thread....

I have my A71 US Model Snapdragon Bootloader unlocked and I'm rooted..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShizNick:
I'm supposed to believe a nameless foe? Lol 😜
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nameless Foe:
Well, you don't have to if you dont... I'm just saying 🤷

@afaneh92 is great to work with and this is where I will direct anyone too if they want a US / CA Snapdragon Bootloader Unlocked ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShizNick:
I was just teasin ya cause your name hehe.

I see that, he and I have been chatting, kool guy for sure just when I was ready to do it the exchange rate kinda chased me off. Not so sure I want access to only 2 roms or debloat for $85. Seems a bit steep for what we get access to on my device. I know that is NOT by any means Afaneh's problem at all. Gonna have to sit on that thought for a bit I think. Sure am kicking myself for buying another Samsung now I'll tell ya.... Definitely will be the last.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nameless Foe:
Lol. You don't have to be rooted to debloat your device you know...?

There are other ways to do it!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShizNick:
I know, sammobile likely has one, but that shyte is slow as hell and I assumed there was more than 2 roms out there (where did everyone go) lol. That gives more more reason to be hesitant on rooting it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nameless Foe:
You can remove any and all bloatware using ADB platform tools
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nameless Foe:
And even if there isn't any roms to flash, there is still alot of usefull things to do with a rooted phone that you can't do regularly
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShizNick:
Are there even

Are there even still good enough reasons to root anymore since nobody is around doing anything anymore? Is Dolby Atmos still around with all the crazy kool sound mods?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nameless Foe:
Dolby Atmos is around still.. There is a Magisk module for it...! Root is well and alive in my opinion. I wouldn't compare it to the Cyanogen mod days though.. :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShizNick:
Call recording mod on magisk? I'd love to have that back lol I used to mainly use it for Vanced YT but as you know you no longer need root for that anymore lol I miss them days for sure. There were so many great roms... Seems that all went to shyte when Snapdragon was introduced to my country. Losing reasons to root hehehe... is there a way for me to look at the magisk repo without magisk?🤷🏽‍♂️
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAsshh:
Does this work with the s20 fe

G781U1?? How to order?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] peter couniaz:
Ok sounds good what do you need ? I have the firmware file downloaded . Let me know what you need to unlock the bootloader.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] droidzer1:
https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo is one of the main sources.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShizNick:
Sorry, should have said I found it. Thanks tho.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] peter couniaz:
I guess the straight talk A51 isn't unlockable since didn't get back to me .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Already said to contact me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] peter couniaz:
This was the only way I can send the image .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jrkruse:
It most likely will not be unlocked

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maherwaleed:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
V6 is not unlockable yet, only v4 or below
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] camoway:
Day 1 turned off updates and never ever let it update. In hopes there would be an exploit.

I am still on Android 10 lol.

On Tab S 7+

SM-T978U

It shows in the supported list.

If it can let's do this!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] megamb11:
So once the BL unlock is complete, how does one turn off the auto firmware updates thereby reversing said BL unlock?

I have a T867 that I just purchased third party and it arrived in BL ver 3 (yay!) running UI 2.5. How far can I take it (BL version) before I have to turn off the updates and still be able to purchase a BL unlock? Highest possible BL version is currently BL 6.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] megamb11:
Many thanks!

What BL version can I take this device to (SM-T867U) and still be able to perform the BL unlock? Or, is the unlock feature more dependent on the UI version?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] testingnote10+:
Hello, apologies if this is out of nowhere. I am rather new to phone unlocking.

I have attached a screenshot of the software status for my Note 10+

Model number is SM-N975W. The device is from Canada.

Would it be possible to unlock the bootloader for my phone?

Thanks in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:

Giving props to afaneh on this... just got a T867U TMB BL unlocked and rooted.

Thank you for the continuing work to make our lives a little more free!

Anybody got suggestions for and GOOD app uninstaller that does not have all the crap attached to it (ads, in app purchases, etc.)? I am even willing to pay a few bucks for a pro version, but I want something reliable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elesbb:
Something like this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pale Jack:
I am attempting to unlock the bootloader on my daughter's phone. It appears that her Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G is one of the particularly troublesome models? I found my way here looking through the XDA forums. So it looks like a paid solution may be my only option, if it's even possible at all.

It sounds like you are the guy to talk to afaneh92!

This is her build number: RP1A.200720.012.N986USQS2DUJA

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on this or are we out of luck?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] javierdelacruz984:
A107M/DS
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Hey, you are on v2 bootloader, not unlockable yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
It has oem unlock toggle.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pale Jack:
Thanks for the update friend. I figured this was the case. Hopefully someday soon then.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BajaBlast4Life:
Is this dependent on Samsung for not allowing us to unlock the bootloader because the device is too new or is it you haven't found a way to do it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Because they changed to new security. And signatures.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] caspuh:
Aye, I'm about to offer some kind of monetary incentive to get this ****in bootloader unlocked .

Samsung A326U bl v6
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Only v3 or below can be unlocked
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] caspuh:
I know, but that's just for the moment correct? I mean, someone should be able to figure out how to unlock as some point?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
I hope so
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Khalid H.Ahmed:
Please any luck in s21 v4 bootloader
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
not yet
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Khalid H.Ahmed:
So please tell should I sell my phone and get unlockable s21 or should I wait
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
That can be good solution at the moment. Get unlockable variant or v1 bootloader.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Khalid H.Ahmed:
I actually don't want to unlock the bootloader or root the device to change the ROM

or use any apps that need root

I only want to unlock the sim for my T-Mobile s21+ so I can use it outside the US

The unlock service will cost at least 150$ that is not acceptable

Thanks alot for your time

I really appreciate it.

Hi I have an SM-975u1 factory unlocked. And also I recently upgraded to Android 12, One UI 4.0. will it be possible to unlock bootloader ??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheMadScientist:
No
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheMadScientist:
None of the services here offer Sim unlock. And with what is being offered you either take it or leave it. Maybe you should have purchased a Sim unlocked device perhaps?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] oaklandz:
I just got S20 SM-G981UI. I saw that Android 12, One UI 4, OTA just started two days ago and should be delivered in the US very soon. To unlock BL, what is my first best option? 2nd best option? Should I take OTA first? Or BL unlock first? (Does BL unlock stop- or allow- the OTA update?) Other advice? TYIA @afaneh92

PS Will OTA work with an unlocked BL if it is not rooted? How about if it's rooted with Magisk?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Yes can be unlocked, contact me
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Hi, no only v5 or below. You are on v6.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Hello, yes can be unlocked. Contact me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Hello, no you cant unlock, you are on v2 bootloader need to be 1.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] oaklandz:
Sorry - many questions; I understand I cannot unlock v2, but I'm looking for the solution. I'm not expert level. What happens after the OTA to Android 12, will the BL version change to v3 or stay the same? Will it be possible to unlock after OTA?

---------------

Can anyone else please also respond to my questions in #663?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Will stay the same v2. But still you cant unlock.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] oaklandz:
Is there ANY solution for this device? Flash alternate ROM? Or should I return it and get the international version?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Get international device or unlockable device from the list in the second post.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Cant be unlocked on v2 bootloader, if its updated return it and get unlockable device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] oaklandz:
Please :) - this is confusing. If I have v2 BL now and "can be unlocked on v3 bootloader or below" - what am I missing?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Sorry my bad, edited my last post.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] oaklandz:
I cannot understand any part of this thread now! :confused:

So there is NO NO ROM or ANY way to downgrade, NO path to get BL unlocked?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
No way to downgrade. Only v1 bootloader can be unlocked on S20
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] oaklandz:
Thanks. I tried. Who is selling devices already unlocked / rooted?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
If someone is willing to sell his device will let you know.
