So got a Rogers Note 7, and it seems from some threads on here that ALL Qualcomm variants are locked. I know there is already a TWRP for the Exynos variant since they have an unlocked bootloader.
My question is: I'm looking purely for Xposed, for some UI tweaks that drive my crazy...anyone know the chances of root without bootloader unlock and using FlashFire to install Xposed?
Thanks all

Rogers Canada has unlocked bootloader
I am also with Rogers Canada and just got the Note 7 with the QCOM Snapdragon. Unless I am mistaken the OEM unlock switch (see photo) unlocks the bootloader to allow modifications. I cannot wait for a root method that works, unfortunately, from what I know QCOM's are notoriously hard to root regardless of the bootlader being locked or unlocked.
No it doesn't. That is actually present on pretty much any Android device now.

Qcom with an unlocked bootloader is super simple to root.
Flash twrp, flash superSU and done or if you dont want twrp flash cfauto root and done.
somebody has some reading to do to get his information a little more updated

How about instead of being a **** and saying how funny this is you explain to us what the unlock button does. There is nothing funny to me about an unrooted phone. And I did say in my reply "unless I am mistaken".
And for your information I did do a bunch of reading, and the first step to rooting is to check the OEM unlock toggle which unlocks the bootloader to allow modification. So maybe I'm just hopeful because our Canadian variants usually aren't as restricted as US devices. I have not I have not had to root a Qualcomm device since 2012 so excuse me for being a little rusty on this subject

Yeah we got lumped into the locked group this time around...we escaped it on the S7s but once we knew the CAN device was getting the 820 like the US models we were all worried.
Sure enough from what we have seen thus far shes locked...no root in the forseeable future. Not impossible but not going to be easy.
And yes not being able to root is def not funny and I am also hoping it happens but if not we can buy the exynos version.
As for the unlock button as far as i have seen on sammy phones it does nothing. On nexus and some LG devices you need to use it to allow BL unlock...guess it just comes as part of android but thus far not functional on our devices.
And rusty isnt a problem but after that unlock button has been discussed 1000 times and the subject beaten to death across numerous forums and devices..yeah it makes me chuckle when i see people post it unlocks the device....oh god how I wish it was true though!
And dude FYI name calling is not allowed here nor appreciated by moderators....just a little friendly information

i bought one of the straight talk samsung galaxy j3 phones from walmart on black friday for $50 thinking i was going to use it on my tmobile account. i have been scouring the net trying to find a recovery image or an app that can root or unlock this phone and have had no success. ive tried the usual stuff, kingroot etc, and the stuff that is out for other models of the j3 dosent work either (j320a j320fn, etc) i really cant even seem to find and real info on the phone which is weird because i dont think the phone is even that new. does anyone have any info on this or can point me in the right direction? even info on how to force, (or trick ) straight talk into unlocking it would be acceptable.

I may have a root method. There is a SuperSu zip that is supposed to root when flashed with Odin. I can't find a custom recovery yet though and this is my main phone, though I could switch over to an old Droid Bionic I recently rebuilt.

I did do something very similar, or kind of similar recently. After installing Lineage 14.1 in order to get root you have to flash a superSu zip. However this was on an S5 so I'm not sure if it would work on this model. I wish I wouldn't have lost my J, I may be able to help more. However for less than these phones cost, you can have an S5 or S6 (occasionally I even run into S7s for under 100. Even a 2 or 3 year old flagship is far above these vl series. (and they're easy to root plus have tons of custom ROMs, mods etc.)
Hey everyone I'm looking to unlock my phone. The goal is unlock, twrp (or alt), Detoxed Rom w/ Root Magsik. The phone is from Telus and Telus SIM it's Canadian variant. Model # SM-G960W.
Links: Unlock Bootloader? , TWRP , Detoxed Rom
TWRP says it doesn't support W version, or is there away around this? Thanks
I would like to help you about this if you still having this problem
Unfortunately the only version of TWRP supported Snapdragon version of S9 is only for 9600. And I don't think that it will work for 960W

One more if your real goal is to unlock Canadian version of S9 you should know that in Canada all phones should be sold unlocked since December 2017 (you should be able to use any SIM card} . But if your goal is to root the phone (for example to remove all Samsung bloatware) there's no way to do this for now

That patch is generated for every phone, even ones with locked bootloaders, so it will work if you can unlock the bootloader but that will never happen.
I found one way to unlock the bootloader on my galaxy s9 sm-g960w
I used this firmware on this page, it's a crom.(combinat...), https://shell.boxwares.com/Download.aspx?L=8417
Although the page says it's for the sm-g960w, the filename once downloaded says it's for g960u. Nonetheless, after flashing using odin the patched version, you can unlock the bootloader in Developer settings. At least for me it's there.
So, using this crom enable to unlocked bootloader, firmware.mobi doesn't contain a CF-AUTO-ROOT file for this version of the firmware.(COMBINATION_FAC_FA80_G960USQU3ARG2) so I still unsure whether it can be rooted. When I visit the samsungfour.com website, it gives me a security certificate error and fails to load so I cannot say for certain that the tutorial on their website for the sm-g960w snapdragon 845 varient works or not. I'll try the website later tonight or tommorow and post back here.

im on G960WVLS3ARJ6 , no limitations on what build you have to flash?
I might not update to Pie when it comes out!
I was on the latest build when I flashed with patched Odin. which was G960WVLS3ARJ6
i wouldnt waste your time.. its not a "crom" more so your standard combination firmware.. combo firms have always had the oem unlock option in dev settings.. unfortunately all it will really do for you is disable frp.. the bootloader will still remain locked..
you can confirm this by going into dl mode and trying to flash a custom img.. also can verify in adb by doing a getprop..
flash lock and other lock will still be 1 and verifiedbootstate will still be green.

Mr3p thanks for the quick response and this agrees with mostly everything I found on line. What's causing my confusion is I have a toggle in Settings/systems/developers options: enable OEM unlock. I can use adb to boot into fastboot without any trouble but the only patched image (patched_boot_10b.img) i have is for LM-710EM ver V10b. I want to make sure it is compatible with 710ulm. my full version number V10b-LAO-COM, Build# OPR1.170623.032. I would appreciate any input you have on this.
thanks
Zb
cheeze.keyk is correct that the G7ULM can be remote unlocked by loading a V35 engineering bootloader in place of your current bootloader. If you are comfortable having someone remotely access your phone via PC then it can be done, see link he referenced. My comments were regarding unlocking via normal LG unlocking process.
I'd have to look up that version number but doesn't match up with G7ULM. Can you do a screen shot where you are seeing it in your phone?
G710 ulm ?
Sure . You can .
At first, please update to 11b, i will show you. If u have telegram. Give me ur info.

No it will not work because your phone is a G710ULM just loaded with a different model firmware. My best suggestion would be to restore ULM firmware back on the phone.

It seems this was a unlocked or flashed US sprint phone if a previous life. not sure if it has a stock rom I can flash it with, LGUP seems fairly straight forward but I'm not sure what to flash it with. My IMEI says this model is an LGG710PM. again any suggestions from you would be appreciated.

Unless I missed something, that's the first you've mentioned that your phone is Sprint model. It may be out there somewhere or you may have better luck searching however I looked for Sprint .kdz a couple of weeks ago but couldn't find one. You haven't mentioned your wireless provider so it's hard to make a recommendation but if you can't locate Sprint model firmware, I would flash the phone with the latest G710ULM firmware as that's the carrier unlocked version and should have the greatest compatibility. I vaguely recall reading someone taking a phone like yours back to a Sprint store where they were able to flash the phone back to Sprint firmware so you might consider trying that also.

@mr3p you're correct I just learned it was sprint model when I went to lg's site to download the firmware to revert it back as you suggested with lgup. It states that sprint, and all the major USA carrier's, can't be flashed. I Will give the 710ULM firm ware a try. I'll let you know how that goes. BTW thank you again for your help, Zb

I am confused. If your phone is Sprint IMEI do you mean that it was a Sprint G7 loaded with ULM software? If your phone is Sprint model are you saying that ULM firmware is the only requirement to achieve root?

@MrP3 thank you for your input, after soft bricking the phone I found the correct DLL for LGUP and was able to upgrade to ver lg710ulm2g. this version still comes with the bootloader unlock option in the developer menu> i'll continue to research/play with it to see if root is possible.

lg710ulm2g? Did you see ULM firmware versions here?

I am confused. If your phone is Sprint IMEI do you mean that it was a Sprint G7 loaded with ULM software? If your phone is Sprint model are you saying that ULM firmware is the only requirement to achieve root?

I had the J version 9G710ULM10j_00_NAO_US_OP_0219.kdz) but that is what bricked me, the only update that took was [GFI]G710ULM10g_00_NAO_US_OP_0913. I am making the assumption that the same 'LGUP Common DLL' should work regardless kdz file I use. I just can't seem to find a newer firmware file that doesn't stop after 11%.

Did the failed firmware load occur with the windows app or command line as suggested?
I want to root my a50 soon. Is anyone have us model can root?
From what I understand this phone is very new. Not to mention that it's if you are on a U variant like I am sad there is no root because the bootloader is locked I believe. I was trying to confirm with an expert or someone who knows more than me. My variant is "SM-A505U1"
I just bought this model of phone.
I found this url.
http://androidbiits.com/root-samsung-galaxy-a50-sm-a505u1-easily/
All the steps are not clear to me though yet.
My phone has no oem or boot loader unlock options in the settings.
It also has knox which may complicate things.

My phone was bought unlocked. The device is not a/b and it is system-as-root
Found this bit of information on the forums here:
"

Lol or simply download CSC file from a region different from your country e.g if in US download and flash an european CSC file via odin."
The snapdragon chip is locked only in the US per that post. I seem to remember something about a major security issue found in those chips.

I found this url on changing the csc,but it erases the config.
Maybe there is another method that does not do that such as the one mentioned above.
https://www.**********.com/how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/
Has anyone successfully flashed any combination firmware? I found this at halabtech, haven't tried to flash it. I thought I seen a bootloader unlock & root for ASH6 firmware I don't think it lets you downgrade though once you have the latest ASK1 firmware. I tried installing this one as well "https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=206734" the only part it failed on was on the boot.img.lz4 everything else flashed successfully. I hope this helps get a start to troubleshooting.
(ASH6 FIRMWARE) haven't tested yet. for A505U1 variant only!
https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=165842
Correction it seems that this is not a snapdragon chip.
I was able to look at the CSC by booting into safe mode and dialing the special number which includes the IMEI #.
They seemed to be all cscs in the US which is why they called it a "US version"
There are files that could be changed with the csc in them , but I don't know what the effect that would have. (maybe bad)
It seems that in the US version there is no OEM unlock option to change in the developer settings.
Also I have not found source code yet for this particular model. (SM-A505U1)
I tried all the root apk out there like kingo-root etc. None of them would root it.
It seems that to change the CSC, you need root access or an unlocked bootloader.
So that method will not work. It seems that unless samsung releases an upgrade that allows you to unlock the bootloader then we will have to wait. That is until
a new exploit is found, and released say via kingo-root etc.
I'm really dying waiting for opportunity to root this phone and make this phone runs so smooth
Here is one URl that provides a schematic for a related phone.
https://www.mobilerdx.com/2020/01/d...0-a505f-service-manual-schematic-diagram.html
Is the boot loader stored inside the processor chip or on another one?

It's just a click bait article.
If you read it carefully, they're assuming there is already a BL unlock for the A505U variants, which doesn't exist at the moment.
I just got notification of an upgrade. I was hoping that the new version would have the oem unlock feature.
I had automatic upgrade turned off nad automatic download on. I was looking at the message, and it automatically scheduled the upgrade without my permission. So I ran the upgrade. It did not add the oem_unlock feature. Maybe next time. Hint! Hint!

I got notice of an upgrade today. I had it set to autodownload. It said that after the upgrade was applied that I could not downgrade. Also it said the I had only 3 chances. Last time it upgraded without my permission. So I turned of the autodownload in the settings.
If I knew the new version would enable an unlocking feature, then I, of course, would upgrade.
I found a trick to the no Unlock OEM option that worked so well I didnt believe it the first time. But my bootloader is unlocked and remains unlocked.
It seems that if you specify automatic download it will upgrade it even if you turn that off.
This latest upgrade still does not have the oem unlock feature. I made sure that my automatic download is turned off.
Automatic download also means automatic install. It seems to download the upgrade into a region of the file system which only root can read.

That method did not work for me. I tried it again and it did not work.
"Samsung allows unlocking the bootloader on the international versions of their phones. But on the Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S9, and Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the ‘OEM unlocking’ option only becomes available after 7 days of activating the device and adding a Samsung or Google account to the device. If you would rather not wait 7 days or if even after 7 days the button is still missing, XDA Senior Member altai1963 has posted instructions about how to fix the missing ‘OEM unlock’ button on "
Perhaps it requires a samsung account. I do not have one on my phone. Incidentally I noticed that all my contacts had been uploaded to google. I would never have knowingly done that. I had to export my contacts to a file, delete all my contacts making sure then that google was not being used, and then import my contacts from the file that I had saved them to. I was worried that I would lose all my contacts, but fortunately that did not happen. It would probably be good to verify that the file exists and notate it location using a file system browser.

juniord says that he unlocked his.
Unless I am misunderstanding what you wrote.
If you are saying that it can be unlocked, how do you recommend that it be done?

I added my samsung account, and tried it. It did not work. I had google and samsung logins provisioned in the phone.
So I guess that I am back waiting for the next exploit which might be a while if bonuses are paid for finding them.

He's either bsing you or trolling or has a different variant.. the "trick" they use has been around a while now but only works on models that are actually unlockable.. the USA variants are NOT unlockable from the start so any tricks will not work.. simple as that.. this has been discussed for years and everywhere on xda as well as many discussions about this specific model.. if u want bl unlock purchase an unlockable variant..
Ppl seem to get confused cuz some devices in USA are exynos models so they think they can bl unlock them but this is not the case.. just bcuz a device is exynos doesn't make it unlockable.

I did some research before I bought it. I also bought it because I could use it on multiple carriers.
The rooted ones that I saw must have been nonUS versions. What a waste of money. I only bought it because I wanted to root it and put a custom rom on it. I did not want to wait for a linux phone and truly 5g phones are coming out now.
