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.
