T-Mobile Galaxy S7 and S7 edge bootloaders locked down


Members of the xda-developers forums have found that T-Mobile’s Galaxy S7 and S7 edge ship with locked up bootloaders. If a bootloader is locked, it can prevent owners from tinkering with their Android phones and doing things like rooting and flashing custom ROMs. Some past Android flagships on T-Mobile have come with unlockable bootloaders, but that’s not the case with the S7 and S7 edge.


Everyone reading these comments who cares about all future releases of Samsung devices on TMO should sign this petition. If we can pull this off, and have John find a way to unlock the bootloader, we will be able to point to this for all future Samsung devices that come with a locked bootloader on TMO.

Please sign that petition and help us out. Thanks!

Jailbreaking/Rooting have been accepted as legal by the DMCA since OCT 2015. Slap them with that... Not allowing to jailbreak/root is illegal.

To all of you that make a living out of repairing and unlocking cell phones... This means free root files... Sign it people!!!!!! Although I would use the legal approach and filling a complaint since they are breaking the law by locking the phones and not allowing users to use whatever software they want. This is not only for developers.

This is all our fault guys why do you think T-mobile resorted to this ?
We keep changing the certs and unblocking the phones they are blocking. all their effort to stop people from opening a contract and running away with the phone to another company was all for naught. I highly doubt Tmobile will release a way to unlock the bootloader its in their best interest not to. The damage is done. people who root their phones are less than 5% of their users.
They dont care to lose that 5% because the money they will get from keeping people locked down to their compamy will earn them way more.
