Unfortunately, there is no way to unlock the the bootloader and "root" the s21 quite yet
There are people working to make it happen as we speak but you will have to be patient
Here is a link to a xda forum that can be of more help and answer your questions you may have !
[Android][UNSAMLOCK] Bootloader Unlock for Samsung US/Canada Devices
This thread is @svetius approved Important notice: Do not update to April 2023 security update (XXXXXXXXXXWCX) or later. Examples: G998USQS6EWCA, N986USQU4HWD1. Samsung has patched the bootloader unlock again on those updates. NOTE: The OneUI...

There's no root and no ESIM for the US S21s. Maybe in the future (T-Mobile said ESIM is coming "soon"), but nothing is known yet.
As for Root, unlocking the bootloader will be a paid service by a fairly shady source. So prepare to spend like $100-150 for it.

You say fairly shady source? I disagree, payment is made through PayPal... A shady service doesn't have hundreds of people inside of a private telegram group that you can gain access to once you purchase and shady services don't have someone to always answer your questions and help with issues... interesting
Thats my *understanding* of the source...

If unlocking downloader is not possible then as of now there is no way to root.

Yes, help! Cricket has released the Moto e xt1021 to Walmart and the bootloader is not supported for unlock. Please, this is a nightmare! It doesn't work right and it has 4.4.4-7 on it already! The people of Walmart need help. This is a disaster!
Any idea why Cricket/Walmart have this policy? Is there a link to a statement about it?
I just bought a Moto-E from Ting and unlocked the bootloader without a problem. Return the phone and sign up with Ting. It is potential a cheaper option anyway.
me too

At&t owns aio /cricket. At&t refuses to participate in Motorola unlock program. They are a real stick in the mud. Well, that's fine. We don't have any rebels here anymore. I suppose the days of doing things like this just to say you did them are coming to an end. Maybe Sunshine will update. I hope AT&T GOES OUT OF BUSINESS. I am a humble ewok, I am no match for the Death Star. All I can do is put my phone in airplane mode and throw it at them; like a rock.
Sunshine may support it when the 3.0 version comes out.
Is anyone willing to experiment with their phone a bit at the risk of bricking it? PM me! I wanna try to get this thing rooted.

I got one of these today. It goes back tomorrow to be replaced with one that is NOT Cricket (AT&T) or Verizon. I got it for $52.00 after tax and it would be WELL worth the extra cash IF any to get one that can be rooted. AT&T might as well merge with Apple. It is a match made in Hell.
So...
Bump, with info.
What about this? http : // blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader . html (I would have made it into a link, but I'm new... all I did was add spaces)
I don't know much about phones but if there was a way to issue a command to blow the appropriate q-fuse, it should (in theory) unlock the bootloader right then and there, allowing the whole rooting process to happen... I just don't know what commands to issue or how to do so. Could someone smarter than I am please look into this? While I'd rather not brick my phone I'd be willing to test a couple of things if need be... (Moto E second gen). The author of that post seems to have actually been successful in unlocking a bootloader that way, but I don't have such extensive knowledge.
I spent a good two and a half hours with Cricket, going around and around. They are NOT owned by AT&T, they just use their towers. Or at least that's what two different representatives from some call center said. *shrug* I still think they're in bed with each other, so they're still crap any way you slice it.

Because Cricket belongs to AT&T, and AT&T are the spawn of the devil.
If it's good for the consumer, AT&T are against it.
I feel like we can get somewhere with this article:

I've tried downloading the code, installing Python, and executing the script, but I get a syntax error on line 45. I know practically nothing about Python, so I'm stuck, but I'm hoping there are some expertise here that can help.
Help unlocking bootloader for XT1021 Cricket variant
Has anyone come up with a fix for this? I have the same problem - replaced my broken older Samsung with a gently used Cricket variant of the Moto E XT1021. Seems like this is the only one that Motorola will not allow the bootloader unlock? Anything to be done?

How are you with technical stuff? I'm by no means a developer, but I posted a link just before your post (see post #14). I understand the concepts, but I can't tell what's going wrong in my Python execution. If you can visit the Git linked in that blog, I've posted an issue in hopes that the original developer might help, but haven't gotten any love yet.
I have created a petition to unlock Motorola Bootloaders so we can do what we want with *our* phones.

Don't do this bro, look majority of people don't perform insane tricks on their android devices and if you research a bit deep about booloaders and security it provides you will understand that locked bootloaders are good actually. And when it comes to unlocking of motorola devices their process is really simple, you don't have to fill an application answering chinese questions for why you are unlocking your device, which is the case for Xiaomi.
Why don't you make a petition to motorola for releasing the blank flash file using which people can unbrick their hard bricked moto e?? We together can make "hard bricking" a thing of past! isn't it?
P.S. Are you facing any problem in getting an unlock code from motorola to unlock bootloader of moto e?

For those that do perform insane tricks on their phones like me, you should be able to unlock the bootloader! Forcing the device to stay locked is not nice! Those that don't do insane tricks don't have much to worry about.
Motorola won't do this anyway.
Why would any company want to increase their hassle?
Bootloaders are locked in order to protect critical system components from modification.
Those who feel like handling the situation has already an "Unlock" option. Isn't it?(except some variants)
That's why "Unlocking" exist. If anyone wants to modify can unlock and modify else it's just locked to protect.

I am not petitioning for Motorola to ship devices already unlocked, I just want them to allow the "un-eligible" devices to be unlocked.

I Agree with you DNALogic, I would too rather sign a petiton for releasing Blank Flash File rather than unlocking Bootloader.

And for you FanboyStudios, If u are not aware there is a very simple procedure you can follow to get your device Bootloader unlocked. There's absolutely no need to make petitions for at least unlocking a bootloader! You can do this on your OWN!
Here's a link to a video guide to help you out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DGlZLWX0vk
(Note: Procedure is lengthy and DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. Just Follow Instructions and you'll be Good to go!)

AlstonGomez you see the guy does "Insane Tricks" Lol
Now Fanboy, if you can do so much of this insane tricks why can't you do just do a single sane trick to unlock your bootloader?
And if you are talking about any motorola device of which unlock is not available then post this petition for that device and that too in forums dedicated to that device itself, In moto e's case it's really easy to get unlock, roms, xposed, kernels and other Insane tricks.
P.S. AlstonGomez & FanboyStudios if you really wanna see the real insane thing then head over to my thread where I have wrote how my moto e commited suicide and how I am not able to bring it to life because of that just one damn flash file, also note I didn't do anything to kill it. And all this happened because I unlocked the bootloader at first place, now if moto e came unlocked then some evil app developer might have exploited the thing which causes to certain death of device and release it over internet leaving most of moto e dead.

I am not writing this thread to abuse developers but I was very disappointed with this thread. I thought Developers are the real soul for mobiles. But there is not even one developer who can root LG V10 At&t model H900. and provide us a custom ROM. I am very disappointed. Please if there is any developer who developed any ROM with Root for This model. I will appreciate if somebody can post custom rom and method for this dying beauty.
Pls..........

It's not their fault. It's the AT&T that doesn't allow bootloader unlocking. I waited for a whole year for root and then sold the device because of lost hope. Lesson I learned: Should do more research before buying a new phone.

Anyways thanks for reply
I have 960A which is rootable but still no roms. Slim stock rom or lineage would make this phone a beast. But nobody wants to do it -.-
All I can say since I found out that some cellular providers are poopholes that lock bootloaders etc I never ever bought a carrier branded device either straight from company or secondhand
Lg v10 h960a
While unzipping rootedsystemh960a.tot I get the message: " data stopped unexpected "".
What can i do ?
kind regards

Hi, I'm new to this community. I have experience jailbreaking my iphone, but I am unfamiliar with how the different rooting applications work across multiple platforms (e.g. are they universal). I was thinking of buying a Sonim XP8 because it has a bunch of interesting features that I haven't seen on mainstream phones. However, I am not willing to buy one unless I am able to root it. Is my dream possible?
I too would like an XP8 with root. Is there anyone who can help with this request per chance?

I tried kingoroot, and it failed. I haven't been able to find any options either. Hopefully, someone has some ideas. I have come to rely on root to block ads. They are beyond horrible.
any update yet? is there any root yet ive tried about every root apps i cant even find working drivers for this phone
Sonim xp8 dual sim issue
When i put 2 sim cảd to the device but only 1 work
I talked to Sonim about getting root access as there is a problem with my Xp3800 flip and I know its just a xml edit. They told me the phone cannot be rooted as its encrypted and has secure boot which makes sense as these are geared towards public safety
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and have been reading old posts to get current on the state of the collective effort here. Though I'm looking to contribute overall anyway I can, my current short term goal is to get hotspot working with my current carrier (Mint) with the used XP8 I purchased. The handset was originally an AT&T phone and came with the Android 8 update installed.
At the moment, I'm attempting to get the 10 firmware update hoping that might solve the hotspot issue, but I suspect that it's the carrier specific software baked into the image that's the real cause.
Today I reached out to AT&T and, despite not being a customer, they claimed to have allowed my phone (By IMEI) to get access to the 10 update. We'll see if it actually works as the tech indicated that it would take two hours for the authorization to propagate. If so, I'll attempt to pull off the firmware and share it.
Hello, I am very willing to give compensation for a working root method on this device. I currently own the US model and will gladly assist in any help a developer may need. Prices and more can be further discussed after an agreement is met. My device model and information can be found below.

For rooting you need unlock bootloader , But LG isn't gonna provide unlock.bin to do that , So we have to unofficially unlock it by workshark or any other softwares ! It's a quite a headache work and no is willing do that for cheap ! You have to pay atleast $5k in order to get root

I AM THE OP ON A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT
Quite the hefty price but for something like this it is quite understandable because I'm sure it requires extreme patience and lots of trial and error. However, I'm no longer worried because I just grabbed a OnePlus 5t recently and will be back into the modding scenery. I appreciate your reply!
