I have the International Original N7000 Note. It is unlocked and I have used it on ATT since it came out. I'm rooted and have Rocket ROM on it
Since it was always my phone, I never worried about ATT giving me a hard time about it being Rooted.
But I am thinking of upgrading to the new Note 3 from ATT.
I'm sure ROMs will be developed for it.
What are the pitfalls with ATT if I root the phone? Other than they wouldn't support it if I bricked it.
Will they Brick it with an Update?
Will they detect it is rooted and give me a hard time?
Looks pretty sharp and I can sell my Unlocked International note for some pretty good change still. But I know I'll want to root the phone.
The AT&T boot loader is locked. It will need to be cracked before a custom ROM is possible, and the S4 hasn't been cracked since the original vulnerability was "fixed" .
You may be out of luck with AT&T.

Hmmm, so none of the ATT branded notes could be rooted?
I'll have to look into some other LTE version perhaps.

They may sell the international version, but I don't know if that's unlocked/ rooted. Keep in mind, carrier unlocked isn't the same. e as bootloader unlocked

I see on youtube about Custom ROMs being loaded on ATT Note I and II.
So I'm trying to figure out what you guys are talking about here.

My English is bad, sorry.
I have rooted my SM-G9350(S7 edge China version) by flashing xiao1u's recovery, then boot into recovery and flash SuperSU 2.71.
Then I found the front camera issue: When using system camera app's auto mode, the second and next photo captured become deep red black, when reboot or reset the camera app, the first shot is well, but the second shot is still become deep red black.... And other problems, such as in some apps the video can not play directly, the picture stoped at begin and the speaker make "da da da"...(I have asked one who have not root his phone, he does not have this problem...)
So I flashed back offical firmware using odin, seleted "Re-partition, Nand erase all and phone bootloader update", but no any change, the problem still there...
Some one flashed xiao1u's recovery but he haven't boot into recovery to flash SuperSU ZIP package, he say his phone does not have these problems...That seems says xiao1u's recovery does not directly cause these problems...
So the problems may because using xiao1u's recovery flashing SuperSU package?
Some one guess these problems because root changed param partition, who have param.bin?
Not only me, as I found there are about fifty people have the same problem as me....
Who can give some help? Lots of thanks!!!!!

FYI SM-G9350 is the Snapdragon based S7 Edge sold in HK and China. I have the same in my hand.

The U.S. Snapdragon variants have a locked bootloader. It appears the Chinese version does not.
so this will only work on the asian versions?

So far, apparently.
It's been my limited observation that locked bootloaders are carrier specific, it may be that the US providers may have become consistent but I haven't really made an assessment.
USA.... The land of the free and the locked bootloader. That is just not right ☺

I thank Congress. You know. My lawmakers, which are lock-stock-and-barrel owned by the well monied PACs, such as the telecom providers.
I give a second thanks to the malicious coders of the world that have made it necessary for personal devices that do computation to have strong built-in security defenses just to be able to communicate with other drives.
I used that file to unlock (by some way) my bootloader im on the same g9350.
The people with the locked BL issue should try CROM, if it doesnt work it will not kill your phone.
1400700226 can you share to me the links from where you obtained the info related to the root??? As I mentioned you before when i tryed the root my IMEI got corrupted.

I own a galaxy s8 tmobile 950U which I just manually updated to Android 8 using Odin. Now I discover I cannot root this phone (yet?). Will I really have to downgrade back to Android 7 or is there a corner of the universe where someone has rooted oreo on s8 snapdragon 950U?

On the snapdragon version you cannot unlock the bootloader, let me find you thread and you will need to follow instruction and read it clearly. Bare with me.

Chances are there won't be root for Oreo on snapdragon. Unless we get ENG files for Oreo, which so far is unlikely. There is a row though that has Xposed running without root, so there's that at least

Yeah Samsung have been doing this on a couple of the previous iteration of the devices, think from s6 or something. My advice and something I do personally as I have always ran modded phones for over 10 years and I plan to play around with is just do a little research, it's something that I find people tend to look over, not to take a poke at you or anything like that, I just see it happening a lot. But anyhoo, if you're looking for a phone which you can customize, having an unlockable bootloader is important and aslong as it has a snapdragon bootloader you more than likely will find working builds, I suppose the pixel is one route, or the one plus series of phones.
Thanks. I missed both s6and s7 . I went through 3 S5s lol. Liked the fact that I could swap batteries instead of having to plug it in to charge and the dimensions were more ergonomic for me. But even with the s5 I remember the Att version was not rootable.
Product managers think people will put up with the most personal gadget they own being turned into a cheesy invasive marketing vehicle. All that desperate bloatware and "personalization" settings turn what could be a beautiful product into something obnoxious.
Shame. I guess I'm done with Samung.

These devices have signed bootloader they cannot be hacked if you dad was such a good programmer he would've told you the they use Sha 256 encryption 3 keys and totally unhackable by modern day PC's. You are just being rude with your comment or question as stated if you want a custom room or root on Oreo either by a device which is known to support root on Oreo or in this case ask your dad to hack it and become world famous

Don't forget to factory reset and clear the caches via Recovery after you flash.
Enjoy!
Can I flash this onto my G930A?
is it necessary to factory reset??? Something that I've always liked about samsung is that I update using Odin and the apps and confs still the same... but if I have to factory reset, then I will lost everything...

All Samsung's have multiple ways of backing up and restoring. All you have to do is back up using Samsung cloud and when you start your phone it will ask you if you want to restore your phone and then everything will automatically come back to your phone. Factory reset fixes boot loop and other issues

Great, I also found my signal to be better as far as staying connected is concerned. At one point my data kept going out on the atnt firmware and I had to keep restarting the phone or mess with the Wi-Fi calling. I haven't had any problems since I flashed this and plus 8 is faster than 7 so I'm excited to not have to mess with this phone anymore and just leave it up to ota updates.

If there was root before (there is), then I'm pretty sure it will soon be available for Oreo too. I don't see why there wouldn't be unless those individuals who created or found the engineering kernel for MM AND N, aren't around to help out again. If not, back to 6.0 it goes.
HI, Now I'm on a custom rom with Nougat. Sim's carrier is Orange(UE). If I flash this Official Oreo version the phone will become Locked, right? Any idea how to unlock it, no charges? Thanks!
Thanks for the upload. I was trying to see if SamMobile had this up yet but they did not have it up when I checked. I have the MetroPCS variant and it did have 8.0 available on SamMobile already. I am switching from MetroPCS to T-Mobile so this will be perfect to get my phone 100% ready.

Why not look in the T-Mobile section for the S7e? There are plenty of threads about rooting the US version of the S7e. I'm on Verizon and have been rooted for about 9 months now.
And you do not need any damn dongle to root the phone either. I didn't. Just note that depending on your current bootloader version you might be out of luck. Again, check the T-Mobile threads...

On my galaxy s7 edge snapdragon phone the oem unlock is not grayed out.. I switched it to on. Is my bootloader unlocked now?
If your S7edge is a UNITED STATES SNAPDRAGON version, you will NEVER be able to unlock the bootloader. EXYNOS or Chinese Snapdragon, YES. USA Snadragon- NEVER.

So the fact that the oem unlock is not greyed out and I can switch it to unlock doesn't make my U. S. phones bootloader unlocked?
. If so why is it not grayed out in developer option?. Thanks for your reply.
If your S7 is US-spec, you CAN NOT unlock the bootloader. Period.
That button you mention does absolutely nothing.
I have nothing else to add.
