[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] en11gma:
not true at all.

if you buy the U1 model at bestbuy here in USA which is the "carrier" unlocked version (geek squad) at bestbuy can enable oem unlocking.

this is from what i have read on the internet.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] butchieboy:
No carrier device can be unlocked at Bestbuy. If this were the case everyone would be oem unlocked which means you can unlock the bootloader. In some cases as in past with some S8 devices, you could get OEM to appear but it was useless. Show be one person that has gotten their device OEM unlocked at Best buy and I will eat my words
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] butchieboy:
OEM unlock and Sim unlock are 2 different things. If Bestbuy had Samsung tokens to boot unlock I would actually like Bestbuy again..lol
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] en11gma:
i talked to bestbuy geeksquad about 2 weeks ago and authorized samsung repair center closest to me also.

geeksquad was totally aware i was NOT talking about "carrier" unlock.

they knew exactly what i was talking about.

if you bought the unlocked version SNAPDRAGON (usa model) they can do it but it has to have been bought at their stores

the authorized samsung repair center told me they wouldnt even touch it.

the guy acted like i was asking him to commit a crime.

lol

this was the owner of that store.

lol

call up the geeksquad at a bestbuy and ask them how much it costs for them to OEM Unlock your device so you can start doing android development

the google pixel has this option by default.

oneplus also has this by default and it uses snapdragon.

bestbuy is aware of this.

the google pixel is not snapdragon but its got it in dev options.

it is not illegal in Region 1 (North America) to have BL Unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] butchieboy:
Again show me 1 person that has boot unlocked a Carrier Samsung at Best buy. Verizon Pixels can't be unlocked. Other carriers of Pixels yes once they are paid in full or you buy the unlocked version. I have purchased many Samsung devices from Bestbuy and never have I heard of a Geek Squad employee with access to a Samsung Token. If this were the case EVERYBODY that has a U or U1 device that wanted to root would be jumping for joy. And yeah you can get a Samsung token if you want to pay about $1000...lol

im not sure what you are saying really?

are you saying all Region 1 snapdragon phones can not be bootloader unlocked?

from such a big name like yours why dont you be a little more factual?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] butchieboy:
The thing is you keep saying what Bestbuy Geek Squad is telling you without offering any such proof. I'm just saying, I know they tell people things all the time that are not true just as does a Samsung rep or whatever. The point I was making is if it were that easy after all these years of locked bootloader, people would be all over it. Out of all my years on XDA and telegram, testing for reputable developers, not one has been a person from BestBuy or the Geek Squad. So I'm pretty much done with this useless topic. Like I said if it's true I will be the first to admit I was wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] en11gma:
here is what i said "ONE" time.

call them and ask them...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Soupp_:
Not true at all.

If you buy U/U1/W model you cannot unlock (without paying for a service done by an individual). Please don't spread false information you are unsure of.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Soupp_:
Once I did call about my s10 (even though I was aware they won't do anything), they told me that it would be free of charge, after I went to the store they said they don't offer that service.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] en11gma:
that might be true but i did explain to them (on the phone) about oem unlock in dev options like on the oneplus + google devices.

the tech was well aware of that option.

they knew how to goto settings/about phone/software information and click build 6 times.

they knew

straight from bestbuy itself

that may not answer exactly because its about google devices but carriers do lock the oem unlock option and bestbuy sells it and if you buy it there they will get it unlocked

i called them about my google pixel 6 that is oem unlocked and they cant help me because i didnt buy it there at the bestbuy store.

my sm-g981u is also locked which i knew they wouldnt do it but they told me if i bought it at the bestbuy store they could.

it would be great if more people called bestbuy to confirm this or not.

i dont know but i asked the right questions to someone in geeksquad that knew what i was talking about.

First off, i bought this phone with a dead screen and back to fix (was successful) but i didnt know it was verizon. Im not even in us/canada, i was happy with it as it was rhe snapdragon model untill i realised i cant bootloader unlock it. I would like to install a degoogled os on it for privacy reasons.

If i was in the US, i could have told verizon that i am a developer and they would unlock it but when i tried that, they told me that the device might have been stolen or whatever and they want me to buy a sim card from them (which i cant, and if i could, i would just pay a 3rd party cus its cheaper)

Pixel and Oneplus totally different from a United States Samsung device. I bought a Pixel 7 pro had it boot unlocked in 10 min after purchase, didn't matter if it were from Bestbuy or not...it's a Pixel..lol. Just because they "know" where the OEM unlock is in developer options doesn't mean they can unlock. The United States device first mentioned in this post cannot be bootloader unlocked by Bestbuy doesn't matter what Geek squad says . It's easy to know where a toggle is, doesn't mean they can make it appear. Anybody can get into developer options by clicking build number 7 times. Doesn't take Geek squad to figure that out..lol. Can't believe this is still being discussed🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] en11gma:
wrong again

sheesh

the pixel devices sold by carriers can not be toggled on in dev options until its "fully unlocked by carrier"

the oneplus devices sold by carriers is same way except you have to follow oneplus directions on top of the carriers fully unlocked.

the oneplus devices im talking about are specific to the snapdragon.

even the samsung "A" series can be (fully unlocked) by carrier enabling the oem unlock in the dev options to make it changeable.

same at bestbuy store when you buy the fully unlocked version there and it is not available option in dev options.

bestbuy can fix that (to my understanding) again.

why dont you just call bestbuy and ask them.

its pretty simple to do 15minutes worth of work.

just act like you bought your phone from bestbuy and ask them. make sure you talk to someone in geeksquad that knows where the oem unlock is located. if they tell you that you have to make the dev option hidden menu available by clicking build number 6/7 times than you know you got the right person.

dont make me do all the work.

i already called them but my devices were not bought from the bestbuy store and are carrier locked still except my sm-g985f and my sm-g998u

my S21 Ultra (snapdragon) is fully unlocked by tmobile. i got plans for it to be oem unlocked.

its on latest BL Bit so it wont be a trick to get it BL unlocked but thats another story.

how do you think the Samsung "A" series snapdragon model have oem unlock available when you buy the unlocked version at bestbuy and if its not than the geeksquad makes it available?

would be pretty strange if they did it to the "A" series and not the "Galaxy" series wouldnt it?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] en11gma:
i brought up the model the op is not talking about because of the process to get the oem unlock is not impossible like you say.

believe me i have "investigated" and i do "know" you can do it without buying a token.

i will have proof next month in the middle of the month.

i will show you my tmobile store bought and paid off under the 24month contract and tmobile fully unlocked it and oem unlock still does not show in dev options. android 14 and i will show you it can be done.

you can count on it.

i think i been on these forums and under this same account for 10 years or so.

i will show you. just didnt have the cash this month so i will do it next month

its the same process for all the galaxy snapdragon series in region 1.

i did my investigation to find out how to get it done and i was successful.

i just wont be able to prove it until next month

but i am interested in that EDL mode cable and the different HK/Taiwain firmware.

so if someone does it and is successful i would probably try it on my sm-g981u (S20 5g) just for testing and if it did work than i would probably also do it on my S21 ultra which is also snapdragon region 1 N America model.

im interested in this process too.

My friend you need to research more. I bought a carrier locked Pixel on At&t unlocked same day. Why? Because I paid full price. If financed you can unlock once it's paid off. Verizon Pixel can't be unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] butchieboy:
There is no point to this anymore, lol. I don't know where you are getting your information from. You were the one that started talking about other devices and your information is wrong about those too. I have carrier locked Pixel 7pro..Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 all were able to be boot unlocked. United States U or U1 (Samsung) devices cannot be bootloader unlocked . I'm moving on. You can keep posting your wrong info if you wish. Even a reputable developer has told you the same thing but yet you keep going and going. Posting the same thing about doesn't make it correct. Good luck with Bestbuy. @soup what's going on my friend
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] en11gma:
you are so wrong.

the Samsung A series with snapdragon are all oem unlocked in Region 1 from carrier if you are what is called "fully unlocked" by carrier after payments are made and the the oem unlock becomes available in dev options

the oneplus series (again with snapdragon) can be "fully unlocked" by carrier after payments are made then you just follow the oneplus instructions.

the google pixel can be "fully unlocked" by carrier after payments are made (i think can be oem unlocked after 40 days with tmobile).

you have not done any research for region 1 phones.

Search Detail

service.oneplus.com

Lock and unlock the bootloader | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

on both these devices if in payment plan from a carrier the oem unlock can not be toggled.

they have to fully unlock or at least allow the oem unlock.

the "GALAXY" series by samsung in region one is just a PITA but can be done

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] en11gma:
this is why i had mentioned if they dont know where to find "oem unlock" in the menu than you got the wrong person.

when you ask them about that option if they dont mention developer mode or how to get in it by hitting build number than you have the wrong person.

they are easy to sort out.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] matti88:

Dude when they are referring to bootloader unlocks they are referring to the google pixel. Best Buy carries only pixels that can be unlocked and they will do it for you upon request.

I was a user of Huawei P30 since 2019 and is now looking for a new phone model as replacement because the P30 motherboard is fried recently and not worth the cost to fix. During my time using P30, I noticed that the after one OS update in 2020, the timer setting for front and rear camera cannot be set separately ie if you enabled timer, it will be enabled for BOTH camera rather than an option to enable it separately. The function to enable camera timer separately has been such normal, expected features of camera since the early of smartphones (both Android and iOS), it make no sense that the feature is just removed for no obvious reason. Honor phones have the same issue. To make it even more head-scratching, i found the Google did the same thing with the camera setting for PIXEL phones after I bought recently a refurbished Pixel 6 phones as work, back-up phone. I have tested a few camera models and found the brand that still has the separate camera timer setting is as followed

1. SAMSUNG

2. XIAOMI

3. <please add>

Is there any official word on why this option is removed ? Given that the option is also removed from Google own phone, PIXEL, is it something connected to some design guidelines of ANDROID ?
[General Questions and Answers] watchman.see:
thank you for your reply. I have not been active on this forum. If SAMSUNG and XIAOMI are able to retain the features, it make no sense other phone-makers find it too complicated to do that, including GOOGLE themselves with PIXEL.
