Hi, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Canada (G988W) several months ago. I can not unlock the bootloader because of the missing "OEM Unlock" in the development mode.
I tried the method on Youtube such as turning off auto time and date and changing the date to half a year before the actual date, but it did not work.
I had even asked for help from several merchants who did rom service of samsung mobile phones; however, they all told me they were not able to do it because of my software version of G988W.
Can anyone help me?

Yeah sorry pal, S20 Series with U/U1/W model numbers are locked, and cannot be unlocked (at least not officially).
There are some paid services claiming to unlock it, however, it is not recommend, for there won't be a lot of development. Beautiful device though.

Good morning guys. I am no professional when it comes to phone bands, network, etc. So I would like to ask for some help. I recently purchased a Chinese version of the one plus 3 and will use it in the USA under T-Mobile. Seller said in his item description that it will work in t-mobile, AT&T just fine however I did my research and found mix answers some say it does some say they don't.

Yea but I also asked seller and and he said this "In the America,4G LTE(FDD) Network Only Support T-Mobile and AT&T，Not Support Verizon and Sprint" btw I received the phone today but am afraid to open it and find out it doesn't work. Hard to talk to these eBay sellers sometimes. I just want the assurance
T-Mobile
AT&T
Aw so it means it not. That sucks seller telling me it does work. I'll have to return it and look for a USA version of the phone
So I've got a Pixel XL I got from Bell here in Canada. I kinda assumed the bootloader wouldn't be unlockable the way direct from Google phones are and thought I would need to use the Verizon unlock method. I was gonna do this today before downloading the November update just to be sure I didn't lose the ability. Well I thought I would try it the regular way first with "fastboot oem unlock". Anyway I get the option on my phone to select yes or no if I want to unlock after putting in the comand. Do the Verizon versions do this or does that mean the Bell version is bootloader unlockable out of the box with no special expolit? If so I don't think I'll unlock the bootloader right now because of the required whipe and I was just doing it so I didn't lose the ability.

You should be able to just unlock it.
Sweet! That's great to hear. Bell didn't mess with the bootloader.
Hi guys, it is Jan 30th 2018 and I just received a never turned on T-Mobile Galaxy Note 7:

}
What are the necessary steps that I need to do, to at least use the Note 7 as a note taker/tablet. I have the phone in South America and is a T-Mobile one, never turned on. How can I save this phone?
Lo and behold, please help saving this piece of history.
Install a custom rom and replace the battery with the note 8 one I guess
Also, how much did you pay for it?
Since it's a SM-N930T with snapdragon processor there is NO custom rom.

Hello,
I reset my S8+ phone but now I am locked out because of a google FRP. I don't remember the google account so I cant get in any more. I have attempted to use various methods including, Z3X pro tool, and other techniques. But now I run into the issue of error (1) can't read SN from Z3X. I can't down rev to android 7 because there is no U5 bootloader for the SM-G955U on Nougat. Sigh I don't know what to do now. I have a full Z3X pro tool working (v.29.5) and Odin 3.13.
I have been using the only Combo file I am aware of with u5: COMBINATION_FA70_G955USQU5ARF1 and then the stock Samsung G955USQS5CRH1_G955UOYN5CRH1_TMB.zip firmware.

What am I not thinking of, I am a programmer and I know my way around a system but, I am not a phone person so I am looking for any guidance.
I have spent about 20 hours so far, its become quite a frustration.
The issue is getting the Google FRP reset, the Samsumg account was never made for this phone so its just the Google FRP.
Than you in advance for any ideas.
Hey XDA! Recently got a Pixel 2 from a friend, and was planning on rooting when I found out OEM unlocking was greyed out. Which is strange, because I know this is not a Verizon version. Using the BYOD page of Verizon like some threads say brings up this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So it's definitely not a Verizon model. Any chance to get bootloader unlocked so I can root? Thanks.
Note: Phone is running the latest security update.
Okay, so weird thing, OEM unlocking option just ungreyed out itself, yet it still cannot be bootloader unlocked. Strange.
EDIT: After trying fastboot, option just disabled itself again.
You cannot go by that BYOD page. Run the device IMEI through an IMEI check website instead. I'm willing to lay odds it IS a Verizon device, in which case you're f*****.
