Does the SM-N9600 have a unlocked bootloader - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Recently bought one with a dual sim, it is international unlocked but has the Snapdragon 845, from what I heard only exynos has a unlocked bootloader? Aloha !

That is correct from what I understand as well, I wouldn't try it and wait for someone to develop a root hack workaround

I was under the impression that the HK 9600 snapdragon was bootloader unlocked.

I'm confused. What does "maybe we should just wait until we get a Snapdragon first" mean??? Do you have a n9600 Snapdragon note 9?

What region fw is on your phone? We probably will need China, or Hong Kong fw flashed, then crom will work. Then any n9600 fw can be flashed, and bl will still be unlocked. Unfortunately my n9600 still isn't here.
Edit, I forgot, after you enable developer options, you have to wait 7days for oem unlock to appear.
Or try the attached image way. Ugh, wish I had my phone.

China fw. Flash it in Odin, use crom to unlock bl, then flash whatever fw you please as long as it's for n9600.

Any luck? Once we get bl unlocked, we will need someone to work on twrp., Then root.

Update got May 1st update on att sm-g960u
The files are no longer available. Can you repost them.
I cannot for the life of me figure out whats going wrong. I bought SM-G960UZKAXAA (US unlocked s9). I wanted VZW's advanced calling features so I put SM-G960U on the device (instead of the SM-G960UI, as it should be). I've used the special Odin and stock firmware to revert, and it seems to be successful, according to Odin, but nothing ever changes. Still get the VZW splash screen and other VZW stuff. HELP!?

Your stuck on v2 bootloader as carrier bound devices released them first
Ypu will have to wait til u1 firmware releases a update to the v2 bootloader then everything should go back as normal
can you update the links?
also, how come one person said FED 1 2018 and another person said May 1st security patch?
if this is the same U1 firmware available in other posts, why flood xda dev with so much duplicate posts?

Do you know whether it is Exynos or Snapdragon? If you're in the United States, it's probably Snapdragon.
Check Developer Options to see if the OEM Unlock toggle is available.

Okay. Unlock your bootloader then install this; once you have TWRP installed, you can flash Magisk in TWRP.
