I paid almost 1000 on Samsung. Com, will they unlock my bootloader?

I bought mine straight from Samsung.com Verizon variant, will I be able to have them unlock the bootloader? And if not that unlocked Version they're about to release, will it have an unlocked bootloader?
? ? ?
Ummmm.... That's a negative, chief.

The Verizon variant bootloader might not be unlocked any time soon if at all but there is always hope as it's been done before on other Verizon Galaxy variants. The unlocked one, the world variant, will does have an unlocked bootloader and even root but there may be some issues getting it to work with USA carriers fi you're trying to buy one and use it here.

I just checked apparently my phone is the 2pw2100 021-A ...I know you could root it with 7.0.. but I updated as soon as I got the phone ...is there a way to root it still ?
i believe that means its oem locked to verizon, you would need to contact them about unlocking it but im not sure if verizon will, im in the UK but from what i hear verizon wont help much

:/ Okay thanks

You bought a Verizon variant. With Verizon models you can't check "oem unlock" so you can't unlock the bootloader. You are stuck with a locked phone. No root.

Maybe, the people on this thread: Verizon Pixel Bootloader unlocked? by EstiR86
Had their Verizon Pixel/Pixel XL unlocked by Smail. You can also reach him via ebay: item 222913601503
thats the best, and only bet. good luck.

Is the T-Mobile OP7T (HD1907) screwed because of the locked bootloader?

I've read here that the bootloader is locked on T-Mobile's OP7T, are we screwed when it comes to rooting? Doing a search for HD1907, I hardly see anything related to rooting it successfully. Has anyone done it yet? Is there hope for us HD1907s?
Thanks!

You can request a sim unlock from mobbdeep and you'd be able to unlock your bootloader once you sim unlock your phone. Then you can proceed to convert to international if you please.
Edit: it's a week wait period just like previous tmo OnePlus devices we should know this.

MobbDeep has unlocked my SIM, but how does that affect the bootloader? Is there a bootloader unlock app that I can get from T-Mo?

Bootloader unlock is in the developer options section of settings. you have to get the unlock token and submit it to OnePlus for your unlock bin. Once the unlock bin is flashed you're bootloader unlocked.

Know of any disadvantages to switching to the US Global version of the OS? Seems like those are being updated faster than the T-Mobile versions.
I'm planning on writing up some documentation about the conversion process once I get my unlock code (should be here tomorrow which means it might take me a few days to mess with it and get it all nice and neat)

How did you get an ETA for the unlock token? I submitted it but never received an email stating that they got my request.

You don't. It takes exactly 7 days from when you submitted it. You can check back on the site you submitted the request on and you'll see when it's done, and you can then download it from there. Pestering OnePlus or T-Mobile does nothing, you won't get it any faster.

I've done it and it's actually fairly easy to do. I have a OnePlus 7t, TMobile version or was. Running crdroid now and rooted
[CLOSED] T-Mobile 7T Conversion to International WITHOUT unlocked bootloader/SIM unlock!
Here is a patched MSM download tool for TMobile OP7T. It will bypass the need to sim unlock before unlocking the bootloader, and will also bypass the need of an unlock token file from OnePlus (hence skip the wait period of 1 week to get the...

some questions.

hi and hello all. its been a while.
just picked up a unlocked 6.1 ta1045 .
first question is its fully carrier unlocked and updated to 9. can i bootloader unlock? The paid way still?
also if unlocked is it reversible? like can i still flash stock firmware and update?
is firmware even available?
what pc apps do you use?
anyone.......................................anyone bueller?

Does anyone know an Unofficial Way of Unlocking the Bootloader and/or rooting the Moto One 5G (AT&T) XT2075-2?

Bootloader is not eligible for unlock (not at all surprised) for the XT2075-2. Has anyone found a way to unlock the bootloader or generate a bootloader unlock key (even if it is a paid service)? Worst case, it would be nice if there was a root exploit that could be used.
Well this is frustrating. I bought the unlocked version xt-2075-3, but received the ATT version (xt2075-2) It appears the unlocked version doesnt have 5G for USA anyway... So I am ok with the ATT version... But youre saying I cant root this thing? Wtf?
