Hi
If is factory unlocked or with IMEI code once is unlocked it stays unlocked....
My S7 edge is the exynos version (SM-G935F) and I recently rooted it so now I want to install a custom recovery.
I'm not sure if the bootloader came unlocked so is there anyway I can check this?
If infact it isn't unlocked can someone guide me on how to unlock the bootloader?
(This is my first time venturing into the realms of rooting)

If I have the G950F model of the s8 means that I can root it and use twrp for my recovery right? I'm just wanting to make sure because I just purchased this device unlocked. Thanks In advance!!!

Hello, I am trying to root my Samsung s8 G950w. It is the Canadian model and was locked to Virgin Mobile.
Since the oreo 8.0 upgrade, I no longer have the unlock OEM option.
Baseband and build info is as follows
dreamqltevl/dreamqltecan/R16NW G950WVLU4BRF/
Ive tried samPWND and PartyCyborg tutorials and neither of them worked either.
Please help i have tried flashing twrp with Odin but it fails everytime. I have frp bypassed, unlocked and rooted many phones but this one is killing me

You cannot root or flash twrp You have upgraded your device to far and cannot downgrade to root either
SOL get a older firmwared S8 or new device

You have a snapdragon version that has a locked bootloader, there is no current standalone root method, if you have the latest bootloader installed then the mentioned methods you've used won't work as they haven't patched it yet. Blame the network providers for all this.
same issue

5th digit back from end is bootloader revision there is now a method of rooting nougat only. No oreo or pie. Fortuanatly the method installs safestrap where you can flash a nougat system img. Su and busybox. On top of a revision 5 combination nougat bootloader. Look up s8 safestrap edl
As a side note more than likely you will convert your model to a U model instead of a w
Hi all, I'm very new to the whole community and I just had some questions regarding the S8. I heard you can install custom roms and such but I have no clue how to start. I bought an unlocked s8 from best buy and is currently activated on Verizon. The model is G950U1 on OneUI. Any direction or link would be appreciated. I'm getting tired of OneUI. Thanks.

you bought a Sim unlocked version. The bootloader is locked no custom ROMs. You can search for jrkruse efl safestrap. And root. A few stock based ROMs but that's all

So theres no possible way to unlock the boot loader? I saw that in some models there is an OEM unlock option under developer options but I cant find it on mine.
