I saw an article that said most Android phones can be legally rooted, but is this phone one of those phones where it is legal to root?
You can do whatever you like with your phone, rooting is not illegal, but if you brick it, don't expect any sympathy from Verizon or from your insurance provider

As the other guy said, rooting your phone is not illegal. That being said, do it the smart way. If you are on 4.4+ on the S4 just download towelroot, install it, then click "make it rain"

Might be good to point out. Technically you can root any phone legally, off contract or with permission of carrier if on contract.
i think in the US rooting/jailbreaking is entirely legal (as long as you're not pirating anything lol)

TBH I don't think anyone cares. Either it doesn't cost the carrier any extra money, meaning you didn't screw it up, or they get more money, if you screw it up you have to pay full price for a new one. Either way they win.

No he/she did not, and I don't really feel like adding it to the total to be honest... You know he's not going to pay $50 and the total is already $875 and nothing has happened. I guess I could make it $925, but then why don't I just make it like $5,000... I want someone to set up us the root as well but until then I'll just keep updating the total when people PM me or post in the actual thread.

Idk but this bump stuff seemed sketchy since the beginning
The bumped site went down because someone reverse engineered it and released on their own - making the site unnecessary since it can be done locally on a machine, but making it all but certain that devices upgraded to factory lollipop and beyond will be locked down tight.

Locked bootloader means no development. So.....
I guess its over for us unless the t-mobile unlock once released somehow works for us too. What a shame I doubt the t-mobile unlock will work as it would likely be for that variant only. Im done with Samsung
That's why I signed the t-mobile petition, and started one for Sprint. We need to pressure samsung on all fronts!

Oh yeah if you call Samsung ask for advanced tech support right out of the gate the people that first answer are not that aware of what a bootloader is. They always think that its about rooting even though similar they are very very different. Check this link out this one guy is claiming that rooting works.

I am not 100 percent sure but I bet the ceo gets Samsung to do it. I am only speculating at this point. I'm hopeful but just look at samsungs history with certain carriers. What we need is a way to sign a modified firmware with sammys keys but that would be nearly impossible.
If t-mobile gets n unlock method, I'm sure we will. Seeing as the hardware is the same, if we don't get one, one the awesome development here will find a way to make it work.

Someone should try it. To unlock the bootloader under development options. And try to root using kingroot? Btw what is OEM unlock?
Sent from my SM-G930P using XDA Free mobile app
Kingroot doesn't work. OEM lock is basically reactivation lock.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/sm-g930-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337353
OEM unlock won't trip knox, Chainfire root will just fail and nothing will change. If we eventually get unlocked bootloaders, then yes, normal rooting will trip Knox and disable samsung pay.
Is it possible to flash say a stock image T-Mobile firmware on a Sprint variant (or any other US variant given that inside they are all the same device)?

The only thing i can think of is if you unlock it and install a custom recovery have someone with the same variant make a dummy google account flash from that backup remove the dummy account and add your wifes.im not sure if it will work 100% but thats the only thing i can think of.i have the us997 version or i would do it for you
I believe u can factory reset and then try again.
You're best bet is re-flashing the software with the LGup I think that's what its called.
There's no chance reflashing stock firmware, it's safety boot, even with root is not possible. Maybe some bypasses based on Usb OTG like some Samsung Phones could work.
Got it worked out. The original owner called me and let me sign in with his name. Added my account the deleted his. Then did a factory reset and all is well.

I'm from the UK I'm going to assume the OP is from USA.
At the end of the day we've all bought a BS3p from China with a China rom on it and we're not happy for whatever reason. I bought the unlock from the Chinese guy and the global rom when he had it, it brought functionality back to the phone that had some annoyances.
I've got the update from the OP, who also had to pay.
If we weren't so eager to get a new phone we would have waited for the global release of the device and possibly paid some inflated prices but had a true global rom.
I'm happy with my device now. It's unlocked and has none of the horror defects I've seen on the Chinese black shark forum.
Each to their own though.
