had my s7 actve for years and now got a S20 FE 5G US model without OEM Unlock option; Ive read dozens of posts on here, including the senior member ones and i'm trying to convince myself that this phone can have the BL unlocked..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
you can think what you want.. clearly spurce has found a way to take device DID and generate a token.. so whatever theories floats your boat lol.. you keep implying to show "proof" or "evidence" which the token itself is proof enough.. if u dont know how to look at one then thats on you lol. Theres no other proof to be provided if no one else knows how to make them.. if we knew how you think we'd need a "source"? it's not difficult to understand really.. ur just phishing for information that we dont have so ur wasting your time lol.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
no one ever said we cracked the bootloader.. we didnt even crack the tokens.. our source did of which they dont share their secrets even to us.. they havent cracked the bootloader either.. generating tokensis not the same as "cracking the bootloader"
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
So once we unlock we can't update again ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
You can update system with custom roms, but you will stick to pre 2021 march bootloader version.

Hi afaneh92, Just curious if it might be possible to unlock a bootloader on an old Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Verizon - SM-N920V ?

So, is it possible to flash in Odin or some other method to roll back the bootloader version for this service?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
What is your device and bootloader version?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MateoK1000:
Bootloader Unlocked on my Samsung Galaxy S10 sm-973W (Canadian variant with Snapdragon chip) on Bootloader revision 4.

Thanks to Afaneh92 it was a great service and very well explained. Keep up with the good work :)(y)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kodiak799:
Just an FYI if you unlock DO NOT update March 2021 firmware as it will relock your bootloader and you can't downgrade and there is currently no unlock solution for the v5 bootloader in that update.

Everything was working pretty good. I did this to myself - flashed the new firmware in Odin not realizing the issue as I unlocked a few months ago. It was not an OTA update that I accidentally took or updated automatically.

If you are thinking about unlocking, DO NOT take the March/April OTA updates.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rawhide85:
@afaneh92 - Just wondering if there is any luck on unlocking v2? Still want the S21 Ultra but only if you can do an unlock. Cheers
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
We are working on it. Not possible yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rawhide85:
Thank for the quick response. Still patiently waiting. Have a blessed day.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mysticjp:
am thankful there are methods to run an unlocked device, had my s20 unlocked by elli and my a71 5g unlocked by Afaneh, its beautiful =)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joelstitch:
I just received my S21 Ultra and want to unlock it. The botloader is rev 2 and it has One UI 3.1. Am I able to unlock? I have the US version with Snapdragon
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
to my knowledge unless afaneh has something different itsxnot possible yet but is being worked on.. only rev1 can be unlocked currently
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ice Bear:
Ice Bear is currently on the April update. Can Ice Bear downgrade?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
You cant downgrade bootloader rev.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ice Bear:
Would there be a possibility in the future or is Ice Bear out of luck?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
I hope its possible in near future.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ibigfire:
My phone appears to have come with One UI version 3.1, that's unfortunate. Really looking forward to it being possible in the near future hopefully! My new phone feels so limited without root. >_<
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
S21 is ok with oneui 3.1 but with v1 bootloader.

Thank you very much for your unlock service. Very professional and I highly recommend you to anyone who is on the fence about the whoe process.

Thank you again!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
If your KG status is not checking or complete you cant flash files until you paid off device price.

Good morning,

Recently received a Verizon Galaxy S10+; what info do I need to provide to find out whatever I can unlock the bootloader or not ?

Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Good morning, check your bootloader version. 5th character from the right on build number.

v4 or older can be unlocked for now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BlockArchitech:
Like I said. I want a way so **I** can contact these people. This man-in-the-middle scheme is INCREDIBLY suspicious. You *are* hiding something and it's only for you to make money. If people were to contact them directly, YOU wouldn't make money. That's why you're hiding their contact. That's all we are asking for. A contact. And also why the hell are you posting something if YOU don't even know how it works? That's shady in itself! You have to cut me a little slack here! This ***IS*** suspicious and you know it. I bet these 'unlock codes' are actually like $20 and you're pocketing the other 100. Also, if people get angry because a service on XDA is no longer available, lets be real they shouldn't be on XDA. XDA is for device hacking and such and not 'how 2 install rom pls help now pls', there is *always* a workaround. Always.

On your other point of 'Don't buy the USA model!!', that's just stupid. Who is going to pay 2x the price of the device for a model to get shipped in 5 months just to root it. Nobody is going to do that, besides, most of the out-of-USA/Canada models don't support north American carriers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
If my sources do not want to be named publicly and only want to work with me then I won't go against their wishes and post their contact info to the public. It took years of building relationships with other developers from various parts of the world to gain enough trust to even just be a middle man. To add, my sources are not on XDA.

And you took what I said about not knowing how to do it out of context. Obviously it uses device DID to generate a token which is then flashed to the device and therefore unlocking the bootloader. I do not however, know the algorithms and tools or whatever is used to "generate" the tokens. This is not shady at all, its actually very commonplace that people who can do such things don't share their exploits publicly.

If you don't like the service then by all means go ahead and find a "workaround" as you call it lol.

And its the honest truth, if you want the ability to root and unlock bl or w.e then dont select a usa model. If you cant afford an unlockable model tben thats life, you get what you can get. And MANY people buy international models specifically for ability to unlock bootloader so I am not sure where you get your numbers from.

Either way, doesnt really matter. It is what it is and I can't please everybody on XDA and there will always be some that disagree no matter what. The number of people happy there is an option and the 100's of people Ive unlocked already would argue with your opinions and far outweigh those with negative opinions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] anonxlg:
I don't see any info regarding the pricing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Info about what? I think every thing covered!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jalh:

Where do I begin ?

Thank you.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
nope.. urs is s21u1 on rev3.. only rev1 is unlockable atm
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Only v1 can be unlocked at the moment.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ifly4vamerica:
Morning, I have previously purchased an unlock for my note 20 ultra 986u1.

I have stupidly flashed the current firmware on accident, this is the one I have flashed: SM-N986U1_1_20210504115507_7okenos44a_fac.zip.enc4

I am assuming my bootloader can not be unlocked currently? I have tried to downgrade but of course that has not worked either. I am happy to pay again for your service if there is any possibility of regaining root.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
If your firmware has rev 2 bootloader we cant unlock again, will inform you if there any updates in future.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ifly4vamerica:
Thanks

Thanks, The bootloader version is the 5th character from the RIGHT in firmware? Just wanted to be sure.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Yes you are right
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TypicalGellert:
If you are on the March patch before submitting request for the token can you unlock the bootloader
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Lowkeey:
Hello sir, do I send you a PM with my device info? Or is there a site you can refer me to? Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TypicalGellert:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Yes can be unlocked on v1 and v2 bootloader, PM me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rawhide85:
@afaneh92 - Still no luck on the S21 Ultra v2+?

Can my device still be unlock A71 5G with March 1st security patch.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
If you can downgrade to 1 feb or older we can unlock it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikelikesbikes:
I didn't know this was possible until just a couple days ago (Samsung snapdragon bootloader unlock). Since I foolishly allowed my phone to update past March, rev. 2 bootloader (again I didn't believe it was possible to unlock snapdragon Samsung devices), did I completely miss the chance to have freedom with this device or should I keep coming back and checking?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
What is your device?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Freedcx:
I thought we need root/OEM unlock to downgrade if not i will look into it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
You can downgrade android version on the same bootloader rev. But you cant downgrade bootloader rev. Even if you have oem unlock.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikelikesbikes:
Samsung Galaxy 20 +
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
only v1 for now on S20/N20
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikelikesbikes:
Thank you for the response. I'm still holding onto hope that an unlock will be achieved for v2. I will keep postponing updates. Thanks again. And thank you for the service you are providing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] draw.lucky:
Probably just wishful thinking but is there anything on this thread about unlocking a SM-G950U Galaxy S8 bootloader?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Freedcx:
Do you happen to have instruction for this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Only 2019 devices and up
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Normal flashing instructions, you can flash firmware with same bootloader version (5th character from the right) and you can check the security update date, samfw.com can show the date next to the firmware.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] draw.lucky:
Ok thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elesbb:
Seems like Android 11 and up is not ever going to be rootable? This is my take from reading the thread. Just want to confirm
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikelikesbikes:
Is there a trusted source for directions on how to stop OTA updates? I keep blocking the latest update, but my phone is going to automatically take the update if I can't find a way to stop it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.ws.dm
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikelikesbikes:
Thanks for the quick response. So I put each of these commands in one at a time and it will disable ota updates? Would you care to elaborate what each command disables?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ldeveraux:
Is this renewed version available on Amazon unlockable? Can you tell from its description?

www.amazon.com/Samsung-Factory-Unlocked-Warranty-Renewed/dp/B07PJV9ZLR
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Freedcx:
Base on this can i still downgrade? The 5th # from the right does not match.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
​

​

Contact the seller and ask him for the build number
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
you cant downgrade to lower bootloader version, only v1 and v2 unlockable
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Freedcx:
i guess i'll give up dont want to mess up bricking my device
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ldeveraux:
The build number under Software Info? I sent a question to the seller. But the questions asked on that page claim it's the S10+ with Snapdragon processor. It should be unlockable then?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
5th character from the right on build number must be 4 or below.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikelikesbikes:
I finally was able to input these commands and I don't even see the option for software update anymore. I'll know at 2:00pm eastern today if software updates are completely disabled. That is the time I receive the reminder. Thank you. If for some reason I ever want OTA updates turned back on I just repeat the commands but replace disable with enable? Still hoping an unlock is achieved for V2 bootloader for the S20+. Thanks for your help with this.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrbonine:
I want to give my strong support and gratitude to the OP here. I had to do some initial downgrades to go through the process, but the result is a fully rooted SM-G981U1 which flies and has the benefit of access to T-Mobile's 5G bands. I had some concerns going in, but they were more than allayed by the business-like approach and helpful, patient guidance. It was clear to me that we weren't done until the phone was up and running which is a great feeling. I can only offer my full support and thanks for an exceptionally thorough and supportiven process. Worth every penny.

so far one big problem i see is this.. i want to buy an S21+ factory unlocked, no problem, many places to buy from...

how do we check ahead of time what bootloader the damn thing has? the store/seller cannot open the box and boot the phone to look =P only option = buy used? ugh.

or just buy new and keep returning if baseband shows anything other than ....x1xxxx? /sigh
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] GalaxyA51:
How'd you root it and unlock bootloader my developer options don't have the choice
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] afaneh92:
Sadly you need to check the box or open it, you can see in recovery or download mode if you dont need to setup the device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sraenn:
need to check the box? does it say somewhere on the box what kernel/baseband/whatever the hell it is?

i get that im looking for a number which is 5th from the right, etcetc. if this info is on the box that would be great, means i can just check stuff that stores have in stock.
