So was reading this article about twrp and the s10 and note 10 lines. But was a little confused. It says that the snapdragon s10+ has twrp support in one paragraph and then the next it says it doesnt. Which is it? I have the U1 (Sammy Unlocked)

Its saying the Hong Kong version has support because thats the only snapdragon one with an unlockable bootloader. It then explaines that the US ones dont have an unlockable bootloader and therefore dosent have support.

As china is also getting the snapdragon variant, will it be possible to unlock bootloader on those devices, unlike the US variants(yet) ?

i was in the same boat as you.. now that sanpdragon's bootloader is locked.... even root is difficult in SD
Hi,
So after the Note 7 absolutely fiasco I'm back on my Note 5. Missing the goodness and really hope they continue the Note series. Just curious for those in Canada - is your S7 Edge (the W8 variant) unlocked bootloader and Exynos, or do I have to go the eBay route again?

Yeah bro. I'm on the same boat as you. Returned my note 7 last night and I'm back with the s7 edge. The Canadian variant is exynos with an unlocked bootloader and plenty a rom to choose from. [emoji4]

I have the S7 edge W8 variant (Videotron) and I can confirm you that the bootloader isn't locked. In fact, only the Snapdragon 820 version has a locked bootloader. The Exynos variant comes, out of the box, with an unlocked bootloader.
It's good to be Canadian, we got the better S7 model (Better battery life, slightly faster, better DAC, unlocked, many custom ROMs)
Still wodering, have they released Nougat beta for the US / Unlocked s7 editions? I have seen theres updates for the G935F/FD 's (exynos) getting the nougat updates, but no sign of it on the G935U/T/A/S 's (snapdragon) ones. Have they released the nougat only for the exynos edition? or for snapdragon too? If theres no beta for the snapdragon, are dirictly going to release the final for them? Please clarify me anyone..
They have released for carrier versions, search the respective forums for update zips. But not for unlocked version.

I've got it on my US Sprint S7e. Go to the Samsung Apps and download the Samsung Galaxy Beta Program app. Once you do so, when you update you will get the option to install 7.0 in your System Updates.

Hello
I have been looking for confirmation regarding the Canadian variant of the S8 and S8+ (if they are indeed the Snapdragon or Exynos chipset).
I see a lot of old posts and rumor that bootloaders are locked and unlocked, but which is it ?
Do canadian carries (Rogers) sell the:
Samsung Galaxy S8 (Exynos) (dreamlte) or Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Exynos) (dream2lte)
Has anyone confirmed if the:
SM-G955W variants
have unlocked bootloaders?
trying to confirm this so I know I have root+recovery, if anyone could assist with this.
Thanks
EDIT: I suppose this is my confirmation?

The Canadian variant is snapdragon, there is root but you cannot unlock the bootloader at this moment in time, this means no custom recovery and therefore no proper roms and no kernels.
For future reference on other phones, GSMArena lets you choose which variant you want to see the pecs for on their site- https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s8-8161.php#g950w
If you want an unlockable snapdragon you need the G9500

Ouch. That REALLY sucks. Canada usually always has unlocked bootloaders. That's a shame. Guess I will have to look for the international variant

I don't need snapdragon, I rather just have unlocked bootloader. Thank you for the heads up !
I suppose I will need to look for
SM-G950F, SM-G950FD
as they have unlocked bootloaders
So I purchased this phone off of Ebay, only thing it said was International version. Once I got the phone I found it was a UAE phone.
Is there a way to flash a different locale to it? Things like Android Pay don't work, and I can't get into the Samsung Beta because the SIM and Phone region do not match.
As far as I know, Canada gets the International version of the CPU.

This is the wrong section to be posting this in. Should've been in questions section. But Canada has the snapdragon processor and the international has the exynos processor. Snapdragon has locked bootloader and exynos has unlocked bootloader. There is a thread with steps on how to flash different carrier firmware
If anything you should be excited. I'm Canadian and stuck on the romless Snapdragon version.

Yes this is totally wrong selection but i don't idea about this, may be possible, I'm Canadian and stuck on the romless Snapdragon version.

I had a UAE S6 and it worked fine in Canada. Got all the updates from Samsung on the UAE schedule (aka sooner than Canada)
