This is where i will compile all known methods of bootloader unlock/root methods and the bounties for the respective US Carriers.
Tmobile/Sprint Status=No known Method
Tmobile/Sprint Bounty= $0
ATT Status=No Known Method
ATT Bounty=$0
Verizon Status= No Known Method
Verizon Bounty= $0
Saved for bootloader unlock methods
Saved For Rooting Methods
am I correct to assume that a network unlocked , carrier unlocked device also has no known unlock method?
Wanted to know before I buy one of these.

The U1 variant might might have a bootloader unlock setting in Developer Options. Maybe someone here can verify, as I have the UW variant. Some things I have read listed the U1 variant as populating that setting like the S20 and Note20 devices. Unfortunately, my UW has not. Next issue though is getting TWRP built for the A71 though.

U1 user here; can confirm that there is not a dev setting for OEM unlock. Now I remember why I avoided Samsung phones for so long...
I will provide $300 to any bounty for an AT&T unlock/root. I'm a new user but will happily provide any type of proof to staff if they want.
ill provide a bounty of $10, it all adds up if there is enough support.
I'll add $40 to the bounty, if anyone happens to wind up with anything promising. I knew I shouldn't have went with Samsung again, but the A71 5G was a damn good phone for $300, imho.
I have $200 for anyone who can provide the unlock or just a general unlock for all US Carriers... Like the other person said, it all adds up
I have unlocked A71 5G A716U device today, so unlock bootloader confirmed.

I'll assume that was mine you mentioned afaneh92 - awesome to work with! He's there for you with any questions you may have. And yes this really does unlock locked bootloaders!

afaneh92 got my bootloader unlocked and also made a TWRP version for the SM-A716U and helped me get it rooted with Magisk. Great person to deal with - super helpful!
Sadface here. I bought a A71 5G after reading the A71 thread. I thought they were the same phone. Now I'm stuck with a locked bootloader. Just never going to pay for something that should have been free to begin with.

Seems like they copy and paste this "manual" for each and every (Samsung?) phone. First point : find me a home-button on the S10(e) ...
I don't believe TWRP is available yet on the S10, nevertheless the S10+ recently got rooted https://www.xda-developers.com/exynos-samsung-galaxy-s10-rooted-magisk/

Why is it that I can't find any information on the status of the snapdragon version of the s10e root/bootloader unlock? I love this phone but I really need root. Does anyone know where I can find information or status updates?

From my understanding, if your model has the option to unlock the bootloader from developer options, then you can root. If you have a snapdragon varient, the only model that has the ability to unlock the bootloader is the SM-G9700 which is only sold in hong kong/china. I believe all Exynos models have the ability to unlock the bootloader, not sure though.
No one has rooted the snap dragon variant, but I'm sure it's possible. I just don't understand why there's no information or status updates on it.

Im pretty sure people are using the Exynos method on snapdragon variants that have the unlockable bootloader.

Don't be so sure about unlocking the US Snapdragon devices. There hasn't been a real root since the S7 series, the S8 root only works on some older bootloaders and crashing a lot, while the S9/S10 have nothing so far. Without an unlockable bootloader, it's extremely difficult to do anything. On the S7 it was possible via special engineering bootloaders, but that trick doesn't work on the S8/S9/S10 series coupled Samsung's new bootloader security measure via "VaultKeeper". Even on the Exynos versions it's a struggle to run Magisk, on every reboot you have to go through a bunch of steps to basically re-unlock the bootloader. It's basically game over rooting new US flagship Samsung devices, therefore you're better off with the international/global Exynos "F" versions.

Please, can someone help by describing how to check the status of the boot loader in the first place. To know if it's locked or not.
I have Note 20 Ultra 5G T-Mobile SM-N986USQS1CTLB, Android 11
Thanks.

It's locked, trust me. When you boot up, it would give you warnings that your bootloader was unlocked otherwise. Gotta use the pay service to unlock it, well worth it!
On the TWRP website i see a Motorola Moto edge (racer) but is it for the Motorola edge 5g UW (2021)?
No, our edge 2021 is berlna, or berlin, out side of north america.

Not with Verizon devices. Verizon devices are *DEADLOCKED.* You will never unlock a Verizon sold device's bootloader without exploits.

You need a PC to be able to flash a modified boot.img within Fastboot if the device isn't already rooted.

Interesting.
Did you unlock the device via normal methods?
I haven't seen an unlockable vzw moto since Motorola G7 series.
I've started development work on this device and would be nice to know if I need to consider support for the vzw model.
Thanks in advance!

My assumption is vzw model is also unlockable via moto-key.
It will cost about 60usd to unlock bootloader.
With that said there's no garentee roms or twrp will be fully compatible.
Hi all.. just got a used yet mint condition S22 Ultra. Since I didn't buy it from T-Mobile they can't unlock it. Is the only way paying to get it unlocked? Also IF unlocked can you still use the new beta...from Samsung beta program?
thanks Z
From what I understand if it's not flagged they can't just not unlock it.
Also yes. You can still use the beta.

Hi guys,
I just bought a Galaxy S22 and it's locked and seems like can't be unlocked by T-Mobile, I'd like to flash it with a stock ROM and I'm wondering if that's enough to get the phone unlocked, I don't want to root it.
I've been searching and I saw a couple of firmware but not sure if they are up to date and how is the process to flash the phone.
I'd like to flash it using a MacBook Pro.
baseband is
S908USQU2CWCE
S908U - Galaxy model
SQ - Snapdragon
U - update
2 - Bootloader version 2?
CWCE - what's this?
any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You cannot defeat a carrier lock by simply flashing a different CSC. There are online services available that can do this for a fee. Due to XDA's policy on paid content/services, I cannot recommend a specific service.
If you use firmware for a different model, such as S908B, you could render your device inoperable.
As for flashing firmware, there is already an existing thread on this. Please search before posting.

First, why can it not be unlocked? Did you buy it outright or do you still owe payments on it? If paid off, it should be able to be unlocked.
And check the How to Guides tabs for instructions on flashing and so on. I keep my device stock all the way, other than the launcher and icons.
