Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I am looking to buy the N950FD singapore version of Note 8. Can anyone tell me if all devices of this variant is bootloader unlockable? I did see the twrp for FD and I also did several researches, some say there is no OEM unlock option for this model until 7 days later it will show after activation? There is a method to skip that and retrieve OEM unlock option straight away.
I just want to confirm this, not willing to buy the Snapdragon version because of lacking custom rom support and ability to unlock bootloader...
Thank you for your time.

I don't have the Singapore version, but I do have the N950FD from Dubai which is bootloader unlocked. To my knowledge all other Exynos variants of the Note 8 are also bootloader unlocked. Yes there is a 7 day wait period to toggle OEM Unlock on some Exynos phones, but there is also a workaround for that posted as a sticky. Hope this helps.

No problem. You can read through the oem unlock thread too for more info on the 7 day timer... I think there were specific posts about the singapore model, but probably from before the workaround and fix were discovered.

You can get it unlocked remotely, I made a video and got the unlock code for free, my Galaxy Note was locked to At&t and I'm using T-Mobile Service with it now.

Hi
I have an IMEI unlock codes server, and I can provide unlock codes for all Samsung phones locked on European networks.
All models are compatible, even the most recent.
The unlock by imei don't make you loose your warranty, and it's permanent.
It's the easiest way to unlock your phone.
All you have to do is power on your phone with an unaccented sim card, type the provided unlock code, and the phone will be unlocked for ever.
The only info that I need is the IMEI of the phone. (type *#06# to see the IMEI)
And the model of the phone.
Delivery time: half hour normally.
SPECIAL OFFER 12€

Say that you see this post in XDA to benefit this offer.
Payments by PayPal 100% secure for you.
I have codes for all brands of phones too.
Thanks
I have an N920A but I didn't but it from AT&T, I bought it unlocked from Amazon. The reason I'm posting is that I had the option to OEM Unlock the device and I would venture a guess that it is actually working. So my question is that is there any way in which I can root or install a custom ROM.

Hi bro, sorry to disappoint you but there is no root or unlock bootloader. I also have the same S*#%T with me. Cant do anything better. But the device is awesome with features and speed not the AT&T.

I though the bootloaders on all Samsung devices are locked straight out of the box.
So I just received a brand new S10 from Sprint. I am trying to enable OEM Unlock so that I can root the device. However, the option does not appear under Developer Options. I have tried to clock reset about 20 different times with no luck. Does anyone know of any other way to get OEM Unlock to show up?
I am currently running Android 9 on the version of G973USQS2BSIA/G973UOYN2BSIA/G973USQS2BSIA and Security Patch Level of September 1, 2019.
Thanks in advance!

The bootloader cant be unlocked on the US model. Only the international exynos and Hong Kong snapdragon model.

This has been know to just about everyone for the last 3 or 4 years. It has been posted here and everywhere else a zillion times so it should come as no surprise.
Actually, you can make the OEM unlock toggle appear, but as far as I know it doesn't really DO ANYTHING at all.....
Just flash the Combo file and check in Dev Settings again, it should be there, and you can tick it on and off....
But like I said, It DOES NOT REALLY "UNLOCK" the bootloader... I guess it's Samsung's way of torturing us. Or making fun of us...
Hi, I apologize if this is easy info to find, I have tried to search but have been unsuccessful.
I have an unlocked s20fe, I am missing some vzw features, mainly video calling. Can anyone tell me...
1. Is it possible to flash this device
2. Can I find a vzw official rom? Or one based off of it?
I have been out of the rom/root game since back in the days of the note 3 and razr Maxx. So I apologize for my current ignorance.
Thank you for your help!
The US Variants of the Galaxy phones cannot have an unlocked bootloader = no root.

Not true. There are paid services that will unlock the bootloader, though folks may not be comfortable with the method and price.

How about a vzw rom? Any link to a reputable service? None of the devices that I used in the past had "unlocked bootloaders". They were all dependant upon an exploit that someone took advantage of, so not really concerned if it is not an 'official' unlock. Thanks for the help!
Bump for a link?
Is EU version SM-G780FZBDEUB rootable? I am buying unlocked https://d.pr/i/vwfVEY. If it isnt then perhaps I will go with Oneplus 8T
