I just rooted my s7 edge and I was looking for a Bootloader unlock but I heard that the s7 doesn't have a Bootloader unlock and never will? Can someone confirm this information?
Is there an ability to unlock the Bootloader, if not is there a chance that it will be unlocked?
The Snapdragon version of the Edge isn't (currently) unlockable, but the Exynos (International version) is. Your bootloader is unlocked if you managed to successfully root.

What are you even talking about? You're rooted. It's done. Nothing is locked.

First off, sorry for the confusing thread title.
I'm currently running an AT&T Note 3 which has a locked bootloader and I've wanted to run CyanogenMod for a while now. I've ordered a second hand T-Mobile Galaxy S5 because I've heard the bootloader is unlocked and/or unlockable.
Can anyone here clarify how the sim lock/carrier lock works?
Will this require me to purchase an unlock code or will flashing the bootloader and custom firmware automatically unlock the sim? From my research I've read that I still need to unlock the sim, but I've also read that using a different bootloader can unlock it. Kind of confusing.

Help with what? It would be a good idea if you specified that. If you mean unlocking the bootloader or gaining root on the carrier branded S7s, then likely not. These unlocked phones do not have unlocked bootloaders. They are simply SIM unlocked so they can work on any carrier. That's what they mean by unlocked.
Same as the title. I would like AOSP. I believe this would require an unlocked bootloader. I'm pretty sure even with mine rooted, the bootloader is still locked.
Does anyone know if the bootloader on the EE S8 is unlocked or not? Thanks
Bump, I'd like to know the answer to this before buying the handset from EE, can anybody quickly check please?
Ee
Is locked mate,but can be unlocked for £8.99
Bootloader on exynos versions isn't locked as far as I am aware? You can flash other firmware if you like. Its the snapdragon versions that are locked.
The guy above is clearly on about is the phone SIM locked or not.
Help.... I have a ATT Samsung with Verizon G935U When I changed my op system to Verizon G935U I thought that it was unlock...boy was i wrong i am still locked down. I need to install TWRP so i can install custom roms. Can anyone help me with TWRP or am i locked down for good? Where is safestrap?
Alright so ANY phone in general from ATT or Verizion they are always going to lock the bootloader. So for 935U when it says unlocked it means carrier unlocked meaning you can use it on any US carrier (Tmobile,Sprint,Verizon,ATT,etc) that doesn't mean the bootloader is unlocked. ALL US s7 and s7 edge have the bootloader locked (whether it was Samsung choice or carriers idk) and there is no way to unlock it. So any Samsung phone that was made after the s7 just buy the international variant bc those bootloaders are unlocked and can have TWRP and custom rims installed, however you can still get root here's the link to the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-method-nougat-t3566978
Sorry to disappoint you dude☹
