thats not true for a number of reasons (in my opinion) at least if youre in the usa which the service is geared towards.. for best network compatibility a exynos device is not preferred.. also, they dont actively sell exynos in the usa so youd likely have yo purchase from a third party or overseas as well.

Plus snap models have been better in a number of categories than exynos for years now.. of course everyone has their own opinions/reasons so im sure some would agree with you..

some also dont have the means of getting exynos devices or can only get devices provided by their carriers etc.

That said, it is what it is. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything.. for some ppl it is worth it and is worth any risk.. there is a safe way to update and remain unlocked.. but like anything for usa snap models (even my root methods for s8 s8+ n8 s9 s9+ n9 etc.) have a risk of being patched in updates (or have already been patched). Its the nature of the game.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
Thats not at all true.. just a conspiracy theory someone brought up and tried to pitch it as the truth when they have 0 idea of the actual process

I have att and band 4 is on every international phone I ever bought. I have safelink an free sim card every month with 4 5 gb of data but any day now we get free unlimited data because the stimulus package in America paid for 6 months of service or longer depending on long covid 19 goes on. So I don't buy service I buy a phone pop in gsm from att under safelink an I get free lte and 5g isn't available yet in reed city michigan and probably won't be ever. It's a very small town and no phone companies you have to go 13 miles to the city. All's you gotta do is unlock people as again for free or cheap and than it's worth it. You guys won't do it

@afaneh92

What's the main issue of not able to unlock bootloader after March 2021 update?

Is it because Samsung removed "OEM Unlock" Toggle from software?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Oem unlock toggle is not there since dawn. They just updated the tokens version and I don't have source for the new versions
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flyinhawaiian968:
TIred of no root! Pretty sure you can do this one, as I disabled any updates via adb when I first got the phone last year!

baseband 2, correct? If so, how's your turnaround time? Still $75?

Appreciate it!!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Yes but only v1 bootloader can be unlocked
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flyinhawaiian968:
Well that sucks. Thought it was <ver 5. Think there's a chance in the future for ver2 to be unlocked and rooted?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] normanx:
So, how does one make contact with you so you can access my phone and unlock the bootloader for me? I see nothing here that tells me who to contact or how to contact.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Account151:
Is this unlockable. If so. How to proceed. I didn't upgrade
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Account151:
Why is that. It's version 1

When will it be
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Bootloader is too updated for the current unlock tokens.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Septfox:
I'm sure this has been asked, so I'm sorry, but...anyone know which firmware the s10+ shipped with, and were they known to update them before shipping out later in the production run?

Same question goes for s20+, I guess, since that'd be my fallback plan.

My intent is to buy a sealed new/old stock unit of one or the other on ebay, but I won't unless I can have a reasonable expectation that it'll be rootable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Yes can be full updated in new box, sometimes firmware build number printed on the box

Hello, am I able to unlock an S10+ (G975U) with the "G975USQU9IWG2" bootloader?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vgpclife:
Hello. I'm thinking of buying an S20 Ultra but before I do, I want to make sure I'm on the right page about a few things. I'm reading the first couple of posts and I'm hoping to clarify two things.

My plan is to buy online a "new" sealed S20 Ultra (SM-G988U1) off eBay so the phone would hopefully be on an old bootloader. Assuming I get one with an original bootloader and the OEM unlock option is available, I should be good to move forward with rooting and installing TWRP, yes?

And once that's done, whats the latest Android version / OneUI version I can update the phone to? Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
No, can be pre updated. need to check what build number printed on the box if exists, also no oem unlock toogle, need my paid service to unlock.

and we have the last firmware patched to be flashed on unlocked bootloader.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vgpclife:
I think I'm more confused now. I used to have an S20 FE that I paid to unlock the bootloader on but recently when I was trying to fix an issue, I updated from Android 10 to 13 and overwrote the bootloader via Odin and lost my ability to OEM Unlock & root.

Are you saying that I could get an S20 Ultra and update it to the latest Android 13/OneUI and still be able to root it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
No, Im saying if you can unlock the bootloader on v1, we can flash modified firmware that doesn't trigger bootloader version. Keeping in mind that we still use the old bootloader.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vgpclife:
I'm looking at examples of the box sticker online. It looks like there's a line that says "SW-VER: _______________". In the example I found, the number was N986USQU1BTIF. I'm guessing that's the number you're referring to?

If my goal is to get the N986U1 model, what SW-VER do I need to look for? I looked at this website:

Latest Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G (SM-N986U1) - VZW firmware

All Samsung firmwares for Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G in USA (Verizon) with model code SM-N986U1. We offer free and fast download options. Check them out now.

www.sammobile.com

And there's a bunch that are N986U1UE_1______. Would any of those be safe?

Sorry for the hassle. I just want to make sure I'm buying the right one that you'd be able to unlock.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
If the box is sealed and printed that build number, yes its v1. 5th from the right of build number.

I have a question. I have the galaxy s20 SM-G981V snapdragon chip. And I have been reading so much about flashing the patched boot image with magisk then flashing with odins to root. I do know my way around rooting. I rooted my scepter 8 tablet and even updated patched image and upgraded some. I am currently working on Getting twrp to boot on it. So guess I'm trying to say is I've tried these other ways to root the galaxy s20 by methods on the world wide web and none have worked even close to the process they described. So my question is there anyway to unlock the bootloader on the sm-g981v snapdragon ? Thank you for your time.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb881122:
I noticed that just recently, you added a bunch of older S8 models to your supported devices list. Is there any support for the S8 Active (SM-G892A)? If not, are there any plans to support it eventually (if it's possible)?

Having rooted Pie on this thing would be nice. I believe hardware-wise, it's similar to the Snapdragon S8, though I'm not sure what subtle differences might prevent you from supporting it.

Thank you for your hard work!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Yes its supported, but I believe you should have oem unlock toggle, if not contact me
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] patrickneil:
Sorry to ask for an ETA, I know that's lame, but just like, is there a sense if unlocking is even on the horizon for the S23 US models?

Can the Galaxy S20 Ultra SM-G988U1 with the security patch from July 1, 2022 have its bootloader unlocked? I read on the original post that it needed to be March 2021, but I didn't know if there had been any advancements made yet

If downgrading my OneUI version would be possible and would help, let me know as well, because I'm definitely willing to do that on my own time if it's a requirement

So are there no new tokens for the S10e or is it just completely different?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] asdf2345:
Hmm, new S10e's aren't that much more. Would it being new old stock make it easy to get one that can be unlocked or do I need to worry about them too?

Money is the only thing to get real professional hackers to find a way.

Right now

This user is relying on an old data breach.

We need new exploits. We need professional hacker help.

And do not tell me it cannot be done. People hack the OS of game consoles.

And do not forget greyshift and celebright. They are law enforcement hacking tools for mobile devices

I still feel the dirty pipe exploit of the linux kernel is a possible path

Just not in my skill set to find out

But definitely in someone elses skill set. They just need a reason to devote their time.

Money is the only thing I can think of. And I am sure it has to be in the thousands of dollars

I'm on the side of if it gets too expensive, why not just cut my losses and buy a OnePlus or Motorola or someone else with an unlockable bl. $75 is already pushing it for a phone that is at least several years old.

Now if it's free and the creator makes an app to unlock the bl or website and gives a link to buy them a coffee by sending $5... I lot more people will send. Is the 75-100x the people willing to do that... Idk. I know from my experience, I tend to send a few dollars to pay instead of seeing ads, but too expensive, why not just buy a phone with an unlockable bl.

Maybe I'm in the minority and maybe that's rude of me to say, but that's my take on it.
