I think No is the Answer, unfortunately.

How long does it usually take after release for a developer to come up with a way to root without unlocking the bootloader? From my understanding, this would make it easier to claim warranty since your IMEI is not registered with HTC as unlocked, so if your phone were partially softbricked you can send it in and cover any tracks of a root. Feel free to correct me if everything I said is BS
edit:
by usually, I mean in the past with other HTC phones
edit 2:
after some digging I came across a dev who is actively working on this. For anyone else who's wondering, check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576844&highlight=one+x&page=10
What your asking cant be answered, its like asking how long is a piece of string. It will take as long as it takes and it is possible that it may never be done.

Hello there
i have been on this forum for a while. Owner of Galaxy s1 international...
Since economy isnt good here on Greece i bought a T-Mobile T999 galaxy s3.
I always try to search search search to find what i need and i always have a sucess (thats why i dont have so much posts).
This time ........... i cant do anything. I am trying more than 7h now.....
I have read more than 10-20 different ways...
Root- Flass...bla bla bla etc ... nothing worked until now.
You will say go pay and get a code...
i always want to do everything by myself.
So can someone help me? Can someone give me good details on how to do it or any link that it might help me?
Thank you in advance...
Regards
PS Please dont start search forum... i have done that more than you think.....
BTW i have make a backup of efs but when i am trying to find nv_data.bin .... there is NO such a file...
WTH -.-
There is no way to manually unlock it. Since you're from Greece, you'll have to pay for it

I could be way off here as I have never dealt with the unlock codes. But I was under the impression that the code is different for every phone and is based on the imei. I'm assuming there is some sort of mathmatic formula that's run against the imei to get the code. (That's 100% a guess btw).
I'm also guessing a select few companies/people were given, or figured out on their own, the way to get the code.
If I am wrong or someone knows otherwise, please share. Id actually like to know for sure!
I've heard you can get it for just a few bucks, so it may be worth it to just go that route anyway.

U mention economy in your post. Go get a code on ebay for $8 just like everybody else did and stop moaning since $8 is nothing compared to the hundreds fyou paid for the phone. Also read other threads about unlock code, there are already tons open.

As i said ''what you post didnt sound nice''. As for that ebay guy, i am still waiting an answer from him.... 12h! Of course i wasnt moaning for 8 bucks but i as i mentioned before i am always trying to do it by myself. I cant see whats the problem with you! Since you know about the open posts you should also knew that its kind a mess with none - reliable solution. (i am not sure if i have read everything tho).
I am not going to write about the way you shoud talk or post on a forum. I am pretty sure you wont even understand!

Thats exactly what i think happens as well. However, one can unlock the htc one s for free. The process is like reading a partition on the device thats normally hidden but htc was lazy about how hidden it was.
And i think its the same method for any phone. Its just a matter of how to access said partition. But z3box and like devices have that ability to read the partition. And thats i believe how they generate the code.

Okay i know the answer is somewhere out there already but i looked and could not find.. has anyone tried chainfires auto root for verizon note 4.. there is a link to the verizon model and i have not seen any report on this. Please answer my stupid question lol. I know it has been talked about but simply cannot find anything on this..
IIRC it requires an unlocked bootloader. Thus, no dice.
They're is as yet no root, it'll show up in this forum when it happens. No reason to ask about xyz root method, none work.

Yeah thats what i figured.. i know the boot is on lockdown but i didnt know why they would have a root method if it was still locked down... okay thank you.. i pray to the phone gods for a solution.. i used to have the g2 and that boot was locked down and i think it still is.. they had some loky patch file that walked around the boot.. is this not an option for the note.. i dont know much about this level of information lol. Im just a simple geek that has crack flashed phones into bricks and then saved them from pure persistence!
Wait had anyone actually tried it. LOL 15K bounty but it's been out there for weeks hahahaha.
That's because the is a DEV ed. Of the phone that has an unlocked bootloader that's why it's available if that wasn't the case I am pretty sure chain would have claimed the thousands of dollars just waiting there for him and if he didn't want it he would donate it.
Search before you post, think before you speak.

This Is Just Bananas.. Like A Monkey Doing A football. Like a one man funeral. Like .... well you get the point.. I need root! Wish I would have investigated this a bit before I purchased it. My friend has the 3 and tons of roms for it so I didn't know. Ignorance is death

I just got my Verizon (910v) note 4, and I want to unlock the bootloader, but it is running CQE1 as well as the may 2017 security patch, and I want to make sure it is safe to follow the downgrade and unlock.
***UPDATE***
According to @DesertRatBiggs it is possible to downgrade and unlock your bootloader on CQE1. here is a link to the thread.

Me, too. I'm very curious to know if this stock baseband has been unlocked ... or if we (and the countless others in our specific situation) will simply never be able to fully unleash these powerful Note 4 Beasts like we'd like. (I'd sure pay some cash for the privilege...)

If I had any money I could pay I would be more than willing to do so, unfortunately I could not afford it right now.
In my current situation my screen gets very hot(not sure if it is supposed to) and so I would really like to flash a Note 7 port so I could scale down my resolution to 1080p to see if that helps with the heat. I know no one asked I just figured that if I made my situation known maybe someone could/would help me/us out.
BTW I got mine second hand, but it is in fantastic shape. Also the indicator under the battery show no signs of water damage. I say this because I know water damage can definitely cause heat problems
Is there anyone that knows anything that could help us?
In the general section it looks as though it has already been confirmed as doable... check this link and if it helps give me a thanks.

Thank you very much I will check it out!
But I didn't see anything about cqe1
Does anyone know?
I just realized I misspoke in my last comment. I want to know if unlocking your bootloader is safe on cqe1. please guys are really need to know.
As it turns out...YES! can downgrade and unlock you bootloader safely. At least as far as I understand, i have not yet tried it BUT in the thread which i have linked in the OP @DesertRatBiggs was kind enough to confirm that it can indeed be done. I will try it tonight and give you my results. I encourage anyone who benefits from @DesertRatBiggs information to give him thanks.

Scrolling down user confirms it works for 9.0

Just because it says 9 means nothing. Do you even understand firmware?

No. It is not unlockable, period. Nothing is broken at all. They intentionally lock the BL and don't allow unlocking it. There's no other way or exploits to unlock it.

It is a great phone honestly but the fingerprint scanner really really sucks. I just went ahead and disabled it because its so bad and I have up to the January patch. Its so inconsistent its embarrassing. I'm scouring the net now to see if someone created a patch or kernel to help improve this problem.

Tell you the truth i was unsure the other versions worked on my sim card and i needed a phone so i did prime shipping on it and got it the next day i really did not care at that point if it had root since im trying to get the s20 ultra in a couple months but i really like the a50 and it makes me kinda sad there is no oem unlock to the us version
Edit: when i was reading through quickly i thought magisk wasnt supported for a while in stock rom.

magisk requires an unlocked bl.. period.. installing it in daemon mode or system mode is also possible but that defeats the purpose and you need an unlocked bl to even do that

Actually thinking about it i have forced magisk into a phone with a locked bootloader (figo gravity...idk lol long time ago) but on 6.0...im sure that samsung has more security on their phones so it might not let me force the img through odin since its not even signed.

again, magisk requires an unlocked bl to use. this has always been the case. and no u cant force flash in odin.
