There are a few devs that have had this as early as last weekend - hence having the new 1.77 PRI. There is also a new radio associated with this release. It will begin to be pushed OTA by Sprint tomorrow (9/22) - and that is official.

I've been around SDX for a bit and jerdog has proven himself to drop some very accurate knowledge when it comes to release dates and inside info from Sprint. He's stated on a few occasions he's some kind of higher level tech for Sprint on the radio and towers end. I trust his info.
Is this going to mean new kernels once it and the source code are released. Im one of the rookies but im thinking the new stock kernel should have great battery life like the one flipz just released and with the fps fix worked in by htc it should be pretty damn good out of the box.
So I have stumbled upon a problem with rooting/unlocking the boot loader for the Verizon variant of the mot z play. I've seen posts and other tutorials asking for a solution. But I see a similar reply to those questions: that it isn't going to happen due to the lack of dev support. So I am creating this thread to ask the developers what we (the ones who want root for moto z play Verizon) can do to get their full attention on, not just the moto z play, but all Verizon variants. So Devs What do you want? and Owners, What can you give?

Maybe but one can try to find one. And with luck catch it.
From what I understand, Verizon bootloaders are not unlockable. They have only seen to gotten more strict with this over time. I would recommend getting a non-verizon or att variant of every phone in the future.
"Not Unlock-able" is not in the vocabulary of the hacking world. I know someone some where can crack the boot-loader its only a matter of time and effort. Anything can be cracked.

In a theoretical sense that's likely true. But it may require more time, money and resources than are available to the Devs on XDA. I think the point is, if you buy a locked Verizon or AT&T device, don't count on an unlock ever being available, especially if you aren't paying the salary of the guy working on it.

We've all had questions. Some of us actually search for our answers, instead of taking the lazy route and ask a question that has been answered a thousand times by now.
@siggey's comment was pretty much spot on. Most people who frequent this site shouldn't root, since they almost always have no reason to do so. It's why in this situation I'll ask if the person knows what root is and then ask why they need it.
His comment to you is unhelpful and useless because it doesn't simply give the answer on a site where the first rule is to search before you post. The OP needs to read, I agree. But the site has a search function for a reason, and perhaps if more people bothered with it you'd see fewer posts like siggey's or mine.

so you need root? to have an insurmountable sound with viper? not see a ****ing ad? and that the phone is really yours? do not do it .......
I wouldn't be able to own a phone without root. I use Tasker, as well as a lot of other apps that require root.
The only reason i had before to root was ads block with adaway, but since i discovered Blokada, i no longer root.
Today, I won't root my daily driver. Too much hassle. My tablet I root just for ad blocker on Twitch.
I miss the day of customising - for instance my Galaxy S4, getting rid of touchwiz and putting the Google Play edition roms on there was amazing.
I think this might be me personally though - back in those days I didn't have responsibility, I had a lot of time to dedicate to messing about back then.
The number one reason why I root is for Cf lumen. Which still works on Android Pie

I really like it. I rarely have any issues with it. But I use phones as toys. I don't have a purpose other then funzies with them. So most people prolly wouldn't use it as a daily.
Other than the phone app freaking out here and there, and the pocket detection seeming to not always work, its been super stable.
I am anxiously waiting and hoping all the great developers we have here at XDA-DEVELOPERS site are working on a root procedure for this phone. May the Lord bless you all with a joyous and peaceful Christmas and New Year. Merry Christmas everyone!!!!?

I have zero signs.
If you knew I was referring to the U.S. variant, you aren't alone. The undertone of your message referring to your particular snapdragon was an obvious unwarranted flex which reason is probably beyond your own ability to perform metacognition.

Your very first post in this Note 10 thread was you stating Snapdragon couldn't be rooted....whether you and I know different, someone else might think Exynos was their only route to have root. So your blanket statement was factually incorrect. Many people come to xda for answers to questions they never thought to ask and the more accurate ideas shared, the less confusion for those people.
The correct way to put it is to not buy a U.S Snapdragon if you want root, or simply to avoid the U and UI Snapdragons if you want root.

The irony here is your blanket, rough draft suggestion saying, "to not buy a U.S. Snapdragon if you want root;" while staying within the context of your last reply, is factually incorrect. Many U.S. snapdragons, Galaxy S' for example have numerous comments of "will never be rooted" and "cant be rooted" and these were also factually incorrect or proven wrong when root was found.
Worst case scenario is someone thinks something cant be rooted, keeps searching and finds out it can be or has been. Best case scenario is they buy a device already proven and verified to have root.
I said and I quote, "I [me] don't even bother to root anymore, if I [me] really cared about rooting I [me] would never buy a snapdragon variant in today's time." This isnt an instruction to anyone or any group of people regardless of what they are on xda for and I do not represent xda in any other capacity than a forum member. My post is literally a personal admission and comment pertaining to my personal choice. Nowhere did I say a snapdragon or U.S. snapdragon cannot be rooted therefore anyone with basic intelligence and comprehension skills wouldnt be looking to my singular comment for guidance on rooting their device. It is a comment of personal choice, not a guide on rooting.
Your comment saying that your H. K. snapdragon has root, has no grounding in my choice not to buy a snapdragon if I "really cared about rooting." This is why I believe it to be 49% informative and 51% a weird flex to say you have a rooted snapdragon, which I guess I should be saying... Congratulations? But then again, your rooted phone has zero affect on my life in any way as I am not seeking to root.
The probability of someone taking my comment and pulling from it that all snapdragons cant be rooted is baseless and would be considered reaching and would only speak to that individual person's ignorance to ignore readily available public information that proves otherwise. If a person chooses not to do their own research, that's their choice. Their quest for root has zero to do with my personal choice to not buy snapdragons if I really cared about rooting.
A personal statement is not an instruction. What someone pulls from my words is based off of their own symbolic interaction with my comment. The same way if someone read your comment stating, "do not buy a U.S. snapdragon if you want root" is not entirely true and would be jumping the gun to presume snapdragons cant be rooted. The correct statement would go along the lines of, if you prefer an easier route to rooting capability as it pertains to most Samsung Galaxy devices, then the Exynos variant would be the smarter, safer purchase for a consumer. Obviously dev's of any stature would be somewhat excluded from this from an operational and mechanical standpoint as they may want to take a crack at a workaround, root, etc.
Semantics.

So I got a great deal from sprint about half off a S20u And I jumped thinking I'd be able to root it. it's already been 30 days and I'm going to return the device since I thought it would be able to be rooted. will a root ever be available. What device can I purchase from a US carrier that is able to be rooted and remove the bloat.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Samsung to offer an unlocked bootloader on any US variants. There are no US Carrier Branded or US Unbranded devices which can be unlocked. If you want no bloatware then the US Unbranded device is an option but if you need root you'll have to consider a Snapdragon International or Exynos Global variant. On these devices Carrier Aggregation and Warranty Repair would be challenging at best.

So I got a great deal from sprint about half off a S20u And I jumped thinking I'd be able to root it. it's already been 30 days and I'm going to return the device since I thought it would be able to be rooted. will a root ever be available. What device can I purchase from a US carrier that is able to be rooted and remove the bloat.

Will the bootloader be unlocked in the future, is that a possibility, haven't been on the forums in 7-8 years. This phone is incredible, but the bloatware makes it useless kills battery can't disable apps. Someone help im over 30 days and don't know if I wanna return. I'm paying $15USD/MONTH FOR 18 MONTHS with buyout for $250USD so it's quite an offer to refuse. But I need root access and a custom rom on THIS baby!

The only one who can answer this is a well placed Samsung Executive, certainly not a CSR. No one has a crystal ball in this regard but I doubt it's going to happen anytime soon. Bloatware is the downside when you acquire a Carrier Branded Device and the $$$ you saved lose their value in the long run. Nowadays most carriers offer decent pricing on month to month prepaid without a long term commitment. Better off IMHO to wait a few months for price drops and feedback before purchasing any device. Saving a couple hundred on a smartphone you really weren't suited for doesn't add up.

I have an unlocked S20 G981U, TMK (Metro mobile). My security update is still June 1st! Seriously?? What am I supposed to do with this? I can't root it, I haven't gotten updates. WTH is going on?

So, your entire post was to show YOU have root, but not to provide any information at all on how you did it...when OP (and others, myself included) would like to know how it's done?
....thanks for nothing...

point is to show its absolutely possible. And I cannot post something that A, isnt my method to post and B, its not allowed to be posted on xda. So take it how you want doesnt matter to me.

Wow. Disrespecting elliwigy is not good. That guy has provided things for the public in the past and thats how you do him? Its because of people like you that xda gets tainted. Hell I wouldn't release it.
And one last thing:
ITS NOT HIS WORK TO SHARE!! READ

Who are you, his girlfriend? Go away.
To me it just seemed like a post bragging about him having root when others can't get it and obviously wanna know to do so. But if he can't or won't share how he achieved it, then whatever...it is what it is. But nowhere did I see him say he needed you to defend him, especially AFTER he already responded.
I'm done with the topic now though... moving on...

just because someone achieves something and let ppl know it is possible but cant provide details for understandable reasons such rules is not in any way bragging about anything.
I dont make the rules on here, in fact I support the rules and enforce them even considering I am a moderator.
Just because someone doesn't want to tell you details (because its simply not allowed) doesn't give you the right to judge people and post negatively about them in public. If you have any issues with me or anyone else I suggest you send them a PM next time.
Showing people that it is possible gives hope to those who feel it is imppssible and hopefully encourages them to keep at it.
I have no reason to lie to anyone and as you can tell uf you did any research on my past activities/posts you should see that every time I achieved root I posted freely to XDA so everyone could take advantage of it. So hopefully you understand if I could post publicly I would have already done so.
I did try to help people out and had them PM me and was advised not to do so even via PM because it is a paid service of which selling these types of services are not allowed on XDA. It is a paid service because the means to unlock the bootloader requires a purchase from a third party. There is no way to provide a "free" method as well as said service is device specific so there is no universal method and each unlock is tied to one device.
Think of it similar to those websites that offer sim unlocks. They are paid services tailored to one specific device. Paid services are not allowed on XDA since typically people use these methods to profit and in the past there have been a number of shady schemes hence why rules were formulated.
I hope this clears things up and you refrain from name calling and negatice remarks to people such as your last comment I quoted.

Instead of complaining take the initiative and hit someone up on telegram that you know has done this and im sure they would be glad to guide you too the proper place. Like elliwigy said it’s against xda rules to post such stuff here so why complain about it here. There are threads in s10 and s20 threads with people posting stuff for US unlocked bootloader phones. Hit those people up on telegram or outside of xda because people want too abide by the rules of xda and xda does not want this stuff posted on their forums.
