Hi all I got a chance to play around with a G960u for Tmobile and I reflashed the software to Combination R2. Long story short I allow developer mode and saw oem toggle!!! Also the combination was running Android 8.0. I remember g950u root was achieved up until r3 I believe but no android oreo. So devs feel free to do what you do best. Hope this helps.

oem unlock is only available in the combination rom it does not really help anything
Yea but we don't have a device brave to build off it?

Can't a custom recovery be made for it?

No because the bootloader is still locked
I honestly thought to unlock a bootloader you just switched the toggle on

Hi guys, I just got my hands on a Xperia ZL... it's quite neat! But I wish I could install CM or a custom rom on it. Ok, I tried to check the bootloader and it states:
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: no

Is it really locked?? I wanted to unlock it to change to a diferent phone career (which now is not really a problem), but now it seems I won't be able to install a custom rom can it be done? Do I need to specify any other characteristic in here?

Like 3 year olds say... " no means NO!" lol
Unfortunately you are S.O.L for unlocking the BL
Damn, I haven't done anything to this device! I don't understand why it is locked like that Some guy wants to charge me for doing it (I bet he will try to get one of those unlock codes from unlocking sites), but then I think it will be impossible. Thanks for the help!

No problem!
One good thing is that you can flash stock based Rom's, and we have one of the best out there in Niaboc's ExistenZ Rom.
Flash that Rom, and used the xposed modules, and you can manipulate it to your liking just as much as aosp or CM roms.
Especially xposed modules like "HK Themer" let you install CM themes to stock roms!
Give it a shot! ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385313
Hello, Mark here I have an Asus Zenfone 2 64 gb edition now I am wondering if there is an official unlock method yet or not ive done research but every time I google it all I get is unofficial unlocks and I am not sure if I would trust the unofficial site. Also I was wondering what most of the users on here think of zenUI and whether or not Asus loads to many of there own apps onto this phone or? I bought mine not that long ago from a place called memoryexpress In canada. Every site I have found with unofficial unlock has all these links to crappy sites that say fill out survey to download files. and I know though sites are a waste. Also sorry if this is the wrong forum section for this post.
Not. Just UNOFFICIAL.

If you mean bootloader unlock, you can do that from here... Search for one click bootloader unlock. Just be aware that once unlocked you CAN'T relock bootloader... If you want root then easiest is to use Shakalak's pre-rooted rom in Android Developement section of the forum... You don't need bootloade unlocked to root your phone however if you want to replace recovery with TWRP and install custom rom/kernels then you need to unlock the bootloader...

No problems with Zenui, If you don't like the theme or icons, swipe up from the bottom of screen. You can change theme from there and load icon packs in too...
With 4gb of Ram even Touchwizz would be flawless...

I would really like to see devs work on this one. I ended up getting this phone because i was a few bucks short of getting the V40. Having the Hi-Fi audio DAC really makes music sound better.
But honestly it's not even close to competing with V4A. Which i guess now i know for sure, i NEED this on my phone.
I would love to root my phone one day just for that. As long as it's stable and works good for that (And preferably Magisk and Adaway as well..) I need it done.
Hi I am interested in this service. I will be buying one in a few days and would like to have this service done. Can anyone pm me? Seems I can't.

haha he is 100% legit and a nice guy. out of Vietnam I believe.IF i need to i have plenty of screenshots and also video of the entire process however teamviewer is needed for him to do it. have ADB and drivers installed already. and have the firmware both oreo and Pie downloaded before starting with him. He uses a Octoplus Pro box and hooked me up. Very fair $20 for permanent Bootloader Unlock. I mean common.... great deal. GaihPhapAndroid. PM if any Questions.

Hey ill post to the same V35 forum here on xda now with a fresh thread. Hope it serves you well just MAKE SURE you are Bootloader unlocked and know how to patch the firmwear. (its not hard search on google or youtube.) Can ONLY use TWRP & Magisk on 8.0 oreo. Just Magisk on 9.0 Pie, no TWRP. Enjoy my friend!

Hi there !
I am a veteran ROM installer Thinking of buying used samsungs for the family.
I am looking at used S9's, but wanted to ask, which versions of the S9 to avoid when considering simple flashing, bootloader unlocking, and TWRP installations ?
That way I don't burn money for nothing.
Thanks !

Get international Samsung S9 only one that comes with the option to oem unlock in developer settings to be able to flash twrp magisk and custom roms or GSI (but you wouldn't need to do that thiers plenty of custom roms for the S9)
([emoji88]Omni Rom[emoji88])
Gotcha, International Version. But how do I recognize what is International ? Is there a special device code that I need to look for on the back of the device, or on the box ?

It ends with F or simply Google S9 international so you get the model number

960F !
Great, so that would be the one to try and find.

Oh no. Eek.
I've just bought a g960F/DS version. Am I going to have problems trying to do the things you said?
I think I can take the phone back tomorrow if so. I saw the "F" and thought I was good to go, but is "F/DS" a weird version that will only have limited support for ROMs etc?
Thanks in advance.

I believe that's a duo sim international device but yeah if it's not international there's no oem unlock no oem unlock basically means your stock on stock....

The thing is though, what had made me go ahead was that I'd read somewhere that Lineage supported g960F/D.
I'll try and find the link but, in case you're reading this now, does that sound impossible?
EDIT: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/starlte/
Supported models
SM-G960F
SM-G960F/DS
SM-G960N

I've flashed roms many times before but not for ages and I've forgotten what oem unlock even means.
Does the fact that Lineageos is supported mean that in fact there IS oem unlock? And does that mean that I can use most other roms too and basically have the same flexibility that I would have if I had a g960F?
There's this too, PoochyX: Putting LineageOS on a Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F/DS)
I've been out of the game for years and really don't want to mess this up
So my goal is to network unlock this phone, would flashing a new firmware do the trick?
Currently running on S901USQU1AVA7, If so what firmware would be the safest to flash it with?
Any help would be really appreciated.

Flashing new firmware won't unlock the phone. Verizon automatically unlocks its devices after 60 days.
