The first step to rooting a device is unlocking the bootloader to allow modified or custom images. Unfortunately, Samsung Snapdragon devices are generally NOT able to be unlocked.
See this guide. If the OEM Unlocking toggle does not appear, your device cannot be unlocked.

I'd firstly like to state I am new to the forums, and give my thanks to brilliant people who give guys like me somewhere to turn. Now, my question is, is it possible to downgrade from MM PJ1 to OGG or OJ1 or lollipop in general. I've seen a similiar thread about a UAE version or somethung that said it was possible. I have successfully downgraded a Note 3 from lollipop to kitkat, which has locked bootloader too if I'm correct..?, but I would like to have any input before I do this as it is my main phone. Thanks!
yes it is possible.

So in theory, i could downgrade to Lollipop and use the kernal auto-root to possibly get rotot? I just got an HTC 10 so I'm really itching to mess around with that s6 Edge Plus. Lol.
I just purchased a Galaxy Note 4 N910V that is brand new never modded and I like to install
the best custom ROM available. Can someone please advise what is the best and safest
available without all the Verizon junk and possible security updates?
thank you so much

you have to root and unlock , flash a custom recovery in order to find out .

Hello XDA
hello XDA I am Wondering if there any methods out there to downgrade and root Samsung SM-960U I was originally on Sm-G960W if that helps and I am currently on android 9.0 [and would like to downgrade back to 8.0 if that's possible if searched around and really haven't found anything to my exact phone model to do these things but don't wanna risk my phone since I already bricked it 1 time
Seems like a LOT of S9/S9+ users hate the taste of Pie and want to go back to the Cookie (Oreo); where I am curious is *why*. (As to why I am curious is because I'm at the opposite end - I'm an S7 Snapdragon owner that has no Pie as an option (unavailable for the platform) and I wonder where all the Haterade is coming from.)
I have a Verizon Galaxy S9 (SM-G960U). Two questions for the experts. Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader? Is it possible to downgrade from Pie to Oreo if the bootloader versions are different?
No
No

Is this a situation where no solution has been discovered yet, or is this new technology that will never be conquered?

Both, you would need the encryption key from Samsung to unlock it, never gonna happen
If you want an S9 to root and play with, buy the International Exynos version, comes already unlocked ready to go
And you cannot downgrade the bootloader on either versions, once you're on a BL version higher than Oreos highest version, you're stuck
Hello everyone
I have a Galaxy Notee 10plus sm - 975U a spectrum remembere when I bough it the firmware was sm-975U1 afterot OTA softwar update it change to N975U .
Idon't know much about bootloader and unlocking it but I think that it is unlocked cuz iam living in yemen and the sim card that iam using is cdma and the phone work fine with it
iam wondering if it possible to flash a U1 firmware ( the universal one) and how to check if the bootloader is unlocked or not
Personally if it's on Android 10 and running well I leave it alone and disable OTA updates. Android 11 will screw it up.
The bootloader is locked.
I just bought one new and it's running on Q and there it will stay. It runs maybe a little snappier than my other one loaded with Pie.
thanks you for ur time and repling
