Samsung galaxy note 5 sm-n920a and android oreo !!!

After rumors that this phone will get Android Oreo update in next few months, nothing comes real till now.
Even lineageOs have developed oreo system for other models but not sm-n920a .
What's wrong with this model ?

Locked bootloader and locked down kernel. Not to mention, our carrier has left us for dead hoping we will buy another phone on a Next plan enslaving us for another 24 to 30 months. We will not get anything more than the 7.0 (with the occasional security update) that we already have for the device now.

The kernel and bootloader are locked down, so no. There is no hope for AT&t branded Note 5's. They're not going to give us the kernel, and won't unlock the bootloader. Best bet is to get a different phone that's not AT&t proprietary, and not purchase anything proprietary from AT&t again in protest.
I know that I won't.

Best option if you want BL unlocked & root?

Given that it's now a total lottery as to how long it takes to get a BL unlock code from Xiaomi (could be up to 2 months), what's the best option?
Is it buying one with a Chinese ROM and unlocked BL, then immediately swapping to Xiaomi.EU / Global / RevolutionOS?
I don't much fancy a wait of up to 2 months to use a phone I've bought.

I've done this. Works fine with roms etc. Just have to be wary of making sure you know what your flashing etc.

Yes, get it from Tradingshenzen or similar with xiaomi.eu installed. Makes your life way easier. You can literally flash 8.8.9 eu or Revolution OS with a factory reset from TWRP and root.

Q. Hello,Is this finally true sealed Global Version with MIUI 9.6.7.0 and b20 or still with just Xiaomi.eu rom?Answer:
A. It should be now some 9.9 Version, from September, so no problems anymore.
This tends to suggest that Trading Shenzhen may now be supplying 'official' versions. So unclear whether BL will still be unlocked.

If you pick Xiaomi.eu as the preinstalled ROM it will always be a bootloader unlocked one they send your way.

They don't have that option currently. I'm not sure whether they will in future, I've asked the question.

Version differences and bootloader

Just making sure I'm getting this right.
North american models are snapdragon and locked. -> possible to unlock with some debug mode which locks your battery @ -20% -> has a very quiet unofficial lineage port
Global/international are exynos and unlocked. -> has official lineage support
so there's no way to get a snapdragon s9 and it get rooted/custom rom without a hit to battery life?

No American model Snapdragons can be unlocked at all, only a couple of Chinese models, not sure where you read 20% battery and some lineage port because the bootloaders are locked, thus nothing custom can be flashed
Exynos are unlocked

I think the OP read some old Galaxy S7 or S8 info as this is my first Samsung phone since prior to the Galaxy Line existed and in doing my research leading up to launch of the S9 I came across similar details. Suffice to say that info gave me a false sense of hope that in time the S9 would be cracked. Hence I am stuck with this piece of crap.

Android Pie update in Europe

Hi,
I read different information regarding the Pie update of European models. I heard that that it is cancelled in US except of Verizon. But how does it look like with unlocked EU phones? Will we get the update or not? Does anybody know.
The promise to get Pie update was one of the reasons why I bought the phone. Now I feel tricked if we won't get it (and I assume it is the case).
I could get an unofficial update but then I'll loose Google Pay, my bank applications will not work anymore etc. Unlocking the bootloader is not an option for me.

But unlocking bootloader is the only one option for ATT users.

I use a custom system and am able to use all of those things. I do use magisk for root though and there are modules for this

support.motorola.com/uk/en/softwareupgrade
Still showing as coming to retail editions in the UK.
moto z2 force
This device will be upgraded to the Android 9 (Pie) release of Android, pending partner support.

Question Seeing around the internet that root won't be available?

I'm assuming they are referring to custom roms. As far as we know, there is no reason this phone will not be rootable, correct?

KernelSU works fine on OnePlus11. You can get root.

OnePlus/Oppo have decided to lock the MSM Tool behind a technician login. Now that devices can't be easily unbricked, would-be devs are either moving elsewhere (and have been since the 10 Pro and 9RT released with this restriction) or can't get testers willing to have to pay to fix their devices if they brick.

Oh right, thanks. I looked around at those others phone pages and then canceled my preorder lol. I guess I don't want to be locked to a china rom... Who knows if the Gov might decide to ban them or something anyways like Oppo.

Hello m8, if you want to order a ON11 do it in the US store so you can get a Global Variant. I got mine at the Pop Up and i already unlocked the bootloader, basically waiting for my OTA update to root it with magisk. Not for Roms but other stuff.

It's sad really. I was shocked to see that the US model has dual physical SIM + eSIM. I definitely would have considered it over the S23 Ultra I ultimately ended up buying if not for the MSM issue because if my OnePlus 9 had dual SIM or pSIM+eSIM, I would have kept using it instead of getting the Pixel 7 Pro but I wanted dual SIM.
Coming from the OnePlus 9 where I got *intimately* familiar with the MSM Tool after bricking my phone a bunch of times (which if you check my signature, I rooted every single one of my past Android phones and never managed to hard brick one like that until the OnePlus 9 so it speaks volumes for how poor their bootloader is programmed that it's so easy), even making custom mods for people with unique bricking situations so they could recover their phones too, I'm not going to buy one without that option. I mean even if I left it stock like I'm going to have to with the S23 Ultra (can't be bootloader unlocked in the US as usual), I've seen too many people report having bricks while locked just from taking updates. Just isn't worth the risk.

There is no double SIM +eSIM.
If you install eSIM, the second SIM (physical) slot is blocked.
So in this case you will have SIM + eSIM.
100% is in my European version (2449)

He was just stating what the phone has access to, because phones can only have 2 phone lines connected at the same time for the moment. Every phone that takes Esims does it like that.

No I'm well aware how it works. I'm just saying that US models from the 9 through 10T didn't even get dual SIM and now they get dual SIM and eSIM added as options with the 11. It's almost like OnePlus is listening to some feedback finally.

Hi, did You root Your OP11?
Do You have any safety guide to do it? Step by step like for little kid?
I know that the phone is relased few days ago but it will be nice to move from old OP6 as soon as possible.

unlock your bootloader , pull your init.boot.image from full rom pack
move the image to your internal store on your op11 install magisk.apk and patch your init.boot.img and move the patchet img to your pc and flash the img with fastboot

This is the reason why I went back to my OnePlus 7T from a newly purchased Pixel 7 Pro - I need the ability to utilized both SIMs with seperate RingTones for business purposes, it still doesn't work 100% (everytime) on the P7Pro using AutoMate and this would be an easy fix for Google Developers.

That i almost understand. I come from op6 with manual update and after that i flash magisk or sometimes twrp again on every system update.
Tell me how it will look like in the future for op11? I got huge arrears about root/update flash...

no one can say what the whole thing will look like in the future (unless his crystal ball isn't broken)
but I think that the op11 will run the same way now and in the future (make an update and flash magisk in the inactive slot)

It was the same for oneplus10? Magisk flashed in twrp and fresh system update? I come back from really old XDA times. I am not interested in custom roms as OP, just root
