i know all the models will be snapdragon chipsets from what i understand. that said, will there be root? i know the US is prob not gonna see root, but what about the UK/EU models? root for me is a 100% buying factor for anything tech related like phones. thanks.
I've been wrong before but I highly doubt it will happen anytime soon if at all.

if you can unlock the bootloader then you can root it with a magisk patched AP file through odin
I would assume that its the same as with every recent Samsung phone for the last years: you can unlock the Bootloader and flashed a patched AP image - triggering Knox and loosing warranty in some regions....
No need to wait for anything, as rooting has worked on OneUI 5.0 I would hope/assume that it works still for 5.1 as well

Yeah the big difference is now they are using Snapdragon processors on all versions. You probably will still be able to in certain regions but I wouldn't be surprised if they end up being locked down either.
@znel52 and @EtherealRemnant : definitely, its only speculation right now and therefore I just gave the assumption....
I'm still unsure whether I'll take the plunge and root the phone, most probably not at first....
yes, they will have unlockable bootloaders in most likely all other regions than the USA
think back to 2014, most of samsung's phones (galaxy s4, s5) were snapdragon based, and almost all of them (besides the USA variants) were unlockable (USA variants usually got exploited after tho, since touchwiz was filled with bugs)
so we have no reason to think samsung wont 2014 us again, which in that case its the best, since that was samsung's peak..
I will know for sure on friday/saturday.

If it's really not rootable I will send it back immediatly.

like i said yall my ONLY pass or purchase is root. i avoid us phones for this cause. of course, i may just snag the s22 ultra at a decent price who knows. kinda tired of the OP9P. miss sammy.
im new in android community, since 3 years of stop, and using iphone as main smartphone since the last 12 years. so i ordered s23 ultra 512gb now and i hope that i will be rootable. (germany)

Okay, if you can, continue the process. Let us know if you can fully bootloader unlock and root. Just toggling that switch doesn't enable true bootloader unlock, it's just one step of it

this also means that, once this update is released, at least for the unlocked S7, we won't be able to downgrade to marshmallow or nougat . I assume samsung is doing this so remaining s7 users are forced to stay on oreo forever

I'm sure this is just coincidence, but I've been trying to get a Sprint S7 working properly on T-mobile's network and was communicating with both T-mobile and Samsung support all last week, advocating for both of them to increase their bootloader version. In particular, I think it makes sense for the 930U to always match or exceed the highest carrier version. I'm not sure if there's any substantive difference among bootloader versions, but that way users would always have the freedom to switch carriers. (The 930P often fails to make calls on T-mobile's network, since it doesn't support VoLTE).
This should probably drop around mid-November based on past updates and codes.
I have bootloader version 7 I think if it goes by the 5th number. I keep getting fuse errors when I try to flash this phone and I've never flashed anything before.

Sounds like you are trying to flash a firmware that isn't b7. This would result in the fuse error.

Ahh OKay I figured mine was 7 because I'm on Oreo and my PDA: G930PVPS7CRH2. IM on the sprint variation and I'm just stuck at this point. I rooted my moto 4 plus the first day I tried which is a snapdragon as well. This Odin things tricky though. I guess I can't get the new xposed either then unless it's possible to install without flashing. I really would appreciate anyones help thanks ?

I'm not sure about xposed, but if you're stuck with your phone in a non-functional state after trying to install a lower bootloader firmware, you can always re-flash the latest stock sprint firmware.
Hi new user here. I checked the website and I see I have the latest Android version but in the website it shows android 9 but I have android 8. I am wondering if android 9 is released in Canada. Thanksh

Not sure why Canadians have a different version since the US is the same as ROW (except JP). Oh well... Anyhow, expect updates to start being pushed from the 6th all the way to the 14th. After that, nothing will happen till January. But judging from the average time it seems you belong to the week 2 category (10-14th).

flashing a sony phone is different to that of samsung. You have to backup drm key(ta partition) before you even unlock your bootloader, because without that you camera will become useless. I cant give you links but I am sure if you look around you will find them. After unlocking your bootloader it is very simple. Just flash a kernel and the rom that you want to.
The application we use for flashing kernels for sony phones is flashtool. Just make sure you have the right kernels and files before flashing.
Goodluck.
My bootloader is unlocked already I just can't find a rom that will work for an xz1 can you give me a hint on what exactly to search. There is no support for the xz1 and as for backing up the drm key where is that found?

Yup there isn't really much or any support at all for Sony phones nowadays. I didn't find any good custom ROMs so sorry I wouldn't be the right person to advice you. And as for DRM keys. Once you unlock it. It's gone. I heard they have introduced some fixes or something. I don't know.
Need help
Can you give me guidance on how to with out braking my phone
As soon as you said you had 8.1 on your phone I knew this would be an interesting read.. Not sure how long ago you. unlocked your BL but once you did it you lost your DRM keys, though if you had read a bit you would have realized that.. there is a DRM fix for oreo (8.0), Pie is debatable as the camera appears to work without one but a few other thing appears to be missing related to video and sound enhancements without a DRM fix.. Now as far as flashing go it's time for you to do your homework as there are a few guidelines for using Flashtool and Newsflasher.. no disrespect here but hunt them down and read through them before you do anything else to your phone..
Anyone else not able to update via OTA after unlocking and rooting? The updater just crashes on applying update step 3 of 4. And if so is there any way to get the updates back, even if it means losing root?

Ok thank you. I have been looking around and I have not yet found someone who has been successful in unlocking the bootloader on their Verizon Moto Edge+ in USA. I will keep searching.
Hope you find the solution to your problem.
Hmm, this looks promising. Just bought an unlocked S10 (Snapdragon) and will be returning it since it cannot be rooted. Thinking of grabbing the unlocked version of this phone to use on T mobile. It is the same price as what I paid for the S10, so I would only be out the $50 restocking fee. I need root, Adaway, and of course Viper4Android. As of right now, my old rooted Galaxy S4 with Viper4Android absolutely KILLS the S10 in the audio department.

Yes and yes, but there's an easier way.
When an OTA update arrives uninstall magisk (this is only temporary)
Install the OTA and make sure to not restart
Go back to magisk and install but select install to inactive slot (After OTA)
Now you can restart and you're done!
Here's the guide where I got this from
When I tried to restore the back up image for the uninstall step, it says "Stock backup does not exist". Where can I get a stock boot image? Does it have to be Racer xt2063-2 or can it be xt2063-3. This page has variants of xt2063-3, but the Google drives they're stored on have "reached their quotas" so you can't download the images. Those images being stored on a Google drive has me suspicious of motostockrom.com.
What are the variants about? That site not explaining that also makes me suspicious.
Edit: l found a stock boot image here. What is the name of the file Magisk needs to see and where do I put it?

How is that unlocked Edge+ working for you on TMobile?
Hi,
Im currently in United States, but Im european.
I would like to buy, and then root S23U.
Ive seen offers for "International SM-S918B/DS"
I know that SM-S918U (USA) and Canada variants have bootloader locked and therefore cant be rooted with magisk.
If i buy SM918B/DS on Amazon, will it come with unlocked/unlockable bootloader?

You can root even if you don't have that. His question was rather if his bootloader can be unlocked, not if he can root the device.
What is the difference between the sm-918u vs sm-s918u1 s23 ultra?
Carrier Locked (U) and Unlocked (U1) [Not Bootloader].
In the past with ODIN, you could flash Unlocked on Carrier and vice-versa but I personally have not tested this on the S23 Ultra this year.

Verizon is U, you can verify in the about section. Maybe someone else can answer if you can flash U1 on U this year.
One word of warning, crossflashing while/if on a payment plan for the phone is risky, especially ATT and VZW. I'd suggest paying the phone off first and network unlocking it before flashing.

As mentioned, I haven't tried on the S23 U, only S22 U and previous.
It requires regular ODIN, not modded, and a full wipe. It can be picky with the cable, port on PC, etc..
It may very well no longer work.
