Does anyone know if the retail Galaxy Tab 10.1 (US) will have a Unlockable or Unlocked bootloader? Or will it be signed or encrypted like oh so many others?
We all know the I/O Edition one is unlocked out of the box, but I would like to know others speculation or knowledge of the subject, thxs.
Really hoping its unlockable like my Xoom's so then we don't have to wait for Samsung to release their delayed updates with Touchwiz and junk like that.
i purchased the 10.1v and it had an easily unlockable bootloader. id be surprised if they changed it back to old ways for the new version, but i suppose everyone will only be able to see once they actually get their hands on one.
The only hope is that samsung have realised that one of the things that will help this tablet fly is customisability.
I would have thought it they'd leave it the same as the I/O version.

I highly doubt they would leave the retail version unlocked, even my Xoom was locked when I bought it and I had to unlock it using a fastboot advanced command which caused the warrenty to be voided. I hope they atleast leave it unlockable like the Xoom.
So can anyone with a retail tab confirm if the bootloader is locked and if it is unlockable. Also if it is locked is there any work around? Tying go decide if I should keep my Xoom or return it in the next two days.
as stated, it is locked up tight.
there is odin access, but i could not get a flash going (although it passes verification).
Wow I hate Samsung. Once again they ruin an otherwise great product, there really is no reason at all that they need to lock a wifi only tablet. Oh well just gunna keep my Xoom and wait for Kal-el. Touche Samsung.
Edit: Just curious, what method does Samsung use to lock their bootloaders, are they encrypted or signed or what?
Yea, this is a big letdown. My Tab may be on its way back to Best Buy if nothing changes around the time of widespread launch on the 17th.

so no simple unlock? and i thought that samsung was promoting the dev community. i wonder why they would leave the bootloader unlocked on the 10.1 io and 10.1v and then lock the 10.1 retail
What a disappointment! I thought maybe supercurio was working with the retail version, and we would be able to do things like calibration of the screen to tone down the oversaturation. The locked bootloader + lack of micro SD slot = too locked down. Probably time to consider the Transformer again...
so for the immediate future we can expect to not have very much development going on im guessing... makes me lean towards getting the xoom

there's a reason it's $100 cheaper than the other tablets. high quality isn't one of them.
i'm on my third. if the gt10.1 can be unlocked i'd be on it... i still may get one tomorrow and decide which to keep.
why dont you guys post on samsungs facebook and twitter page like the HTC fans did.

Transformer is really too much hype. Build quality is so so and I already returned mine. Very disappointed.
I am going to pick up the Tab tomorrow at Best Buy. What do u guys think the chances are it is going to be rooted before the 14 day return policy runs out?
I too am very disappointed.
I received mine today and its unlocked by default

I purchased the 32 GB GT10.1 (grey back) and it came with an unlocked bootloader. I didn't notice at first, but I saw an article saying some were unlocked, so I rebooted just now and saw the unlocked lock.
Might be getting one today from best buy (im on holiday in the US ) How do you check if it's locked or unlocked?

When it boots look for the unlocked pad lock on the bottom middle of the screen. If it is there then it is unlocked.
Just wanted to let everyone know the bootloader unlock should be coming anytime now. HTC is supposedly Diligently Working to get it ready. Guess all the harassment paid off but hey HTC is a good company and they like loyal customers so I'm not surprised. But hey we been waiting long enough. Jk we got plenty of time to enjoy this beauty of a phone everything will come in due time, soon as in Today hopefully LOL.
Here is a post from one website, but you can Google it and pretty much see its already in the works.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...bootloader-unlock-in-case-you-were-wondering/
Dude.....look at the date on the top of the link you posted. May 27th!!!!!
no offense but that is the old email from a month ago. Basically a day after they put it on their facebook and twitter. We all know its coming for a month, just dont know when. It might be here by christmas with Ice cream sandwich.

I'm sure they're getting the point. I think they working as fast as they can. I want it done right. I'm sure they don't want to lose a huge line of customers who waiting on root. HTC wants sells and they don't want Samsung to capitalize because they pissed there customers off. This is two if there biggest phones to date from a business perspective its not smart to be slow.

They could put an unlocked bootloader in a firmware.zip and have it uploaded to the internet in well under half an hour if they really wanted to... probably under 5 tbh.

But you can flash a rooted ROM
No automatic root... All the bootloader now is doing is preventing us from loading a custom firmware (possibly with root included). Have to achieve S-Off first to be able to load those custom firmwares. So it is possible to have root now by someone finding an exploit, but impossible for custom firmware. If we have room and the boot loader is unlocked (not encrypted), then it is possible to then use custom firmware.

I see your point though I'm guessing priorities are:
1) fix the bugs
2) unlock the bootloader.
I'd be shocked if this isn't done by July 24th and I'd bet that it will come sooner.

If this is a useless post I'm sorry, I just want to help if at all possible. Long story short I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II that I picked up and some things about it have lead me to believe I am in possession of a test device. I.e. silver markings across the front of it, a serial number, exposed wireless charging leads on the back, and it appearing as a "4g test device" in my account. I already soft bricked the thing once trying to root it. My question is, is there anything on this device that could be helpful to the community? I just wanted to throw it out there before I do anything stupid with this thing. Thanks.

I do not have a picture of the apps that were running on it as I soft bricked the phone it's running on a different image atm.
The two leads on the back are for wireless charging. The other stuff I don't know about.
You might try getting a hold of someone in the Dev threads as they would be the ones who would need things. I know that AdamOutler has basically unlocked the phone already but I might try to get a hold of him.
Where did you get the device from? All Verizon has the wireless charging set up. But the other things don't know.
Did you get this from Verizon or another actually retailer? Or was this an eBay / Craigslist purchase? Definitely get a hold of Adam though...maybe it has an old version of the OS with an unlocked bootloader

The verizon models do not have the 2 leads for wireless charging, the other models do.

Yeah definitely need to get Adam in here. That's a definite unique piece of equipment.
Adam may be interested in that bootloader
If it's an engineering one that is
Definitely not an normal Note. The menu and back button methods and raised home button intrigue me the most.

I'm going to try and get in touch with him. Thanks.
Looks like you have an early test device. Odds are though, the good stuff from it won't be able to be dumped without special tools. Also, would you be able to go to Settings > About Phone and find the hardware revision? I'm interested in seeing what revision you have. Definitely a cool purchase though.

If there is even any good stuff.
Didn't VZW say they beta tested this phone a long time ago slightly before the release? My guess it is just one of those. I forgot, but it was posted up pre-release in a long winded post from another forum. Basically said that VZW didn't think N2 would be a big seller and wanted to test it out in the field first/found that more people enjoyed the white version as well.

Being a test device, it could potentially get radios and other ROMs before the release devices, but it sounds like that got wiped out in a failed root attempt. Also, the test device could have a signed and unlocked bootloader, but one probably couldn't dump it from the device for flashing anyway. I'm sure it is an early test device, as there are likely hundreds of other test devices, Note 2 and otherwise, for people to test and use before VZW gives a :good: to sell, or decides to pursue other devices.

Hey everyone, bootloader is finally almost done i will be posting thread shortly and will also be posting my perma root solution. I have a post on aicp/lollipop community on google
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------
I am in the final stages of coming out with a apk called PERMA root. It will root while also giving you the option to unlock bootloader. I am testing on two more devices before release. I want to leave nobody unhappy. Therefore any device you may have will work. As new phones are introduced it will only take a couple days to activate from my end. Please be patient because as you already know this is some hard work and long hour testing.
Tested devices: (list includes all carriers) (multiple devices in each listed brand tested to include s4 and s5) Lg, Samsumg, htc, and currently testing last of others. Thanks for the patience.
Be welcome to share accross XDA

He was claiming root and bootloader unlock. But instead of getting everyone riled up he probably should have made it a covert job and then "Bam" here you go. Kinda like when the Rezound got s-off. But the thread got way out of control and it's locked now until he can prove he has something substantial. If you'd like to check it out see the first post in this thread and go to original post quote.
While I love the xda community and have been along time member and highly appreciative of the devs.
I'm just about ready to toss this phone in the garbage.
I miss the days of flashing my phone every week to the latest and greatest when I had my original galaxy note for 2 years.
My 2cents
Wow really your going to get frustrated and throw out a phone that costs 400-700$ because you can't flash roms endlessly yeah i get tw sucks and I want to have better options for roms but even if I lost root I would not throw out my note 3.

I feel the same way about my galaxy bloat 3. First and formost i need a phone that works as a phone. This phone has the worst service and software out of any phone i've owned. As far as the sortware goes i thought i would be able to fix it with cm11 but thanks to verizon and me not doing my home work a head of time i'm stuck with the ****tiest phone i've ever owned. I can't wait for july to replace it with a motorola product.
I must be getting old. I don't see a problem with the stock note 3 and the bloat. Yeah the signal could be better but that is on Samsung more than Verizon. And yes Verizon could shorten the approval process for updates and Samsung could drop tw and put out updates in line with the nexus line as all manufactures should the ui should be a app on the app store and be little more than a launcher for people to choose to use if they want.
Not going to happen. If your on big red you likely don't have a choice or it is the best service in your area or your grandfathered into unlimited. The Samsung phones were the only ones with 2 features I am unable to give up battery that is removable and sd card.

If this phone doesn't end up with Lollipop that's rootable or an unlocked bootloader before February, I'm throwing mine at my Verizon Rep's face and picking up a Note 4. We bought Note 3's for only two reasons. The first reason was that the other Note's were easy to root and flash to CM and the second reason was because of the S-Pen. At this point I would take a loss on the S-Pen functionality just to be rid of all of the Samsung Bloat on my phones.
Wow. sounds like you all should be buying an international variant. trashing you phone or going to a N4 with a locked bootloader is not going to solve your problem. I am pleased with my Rooted N3 and have no issues and will stay with Samsung for a while. Root is nice but it's not going to cause me to put my phone in the trash, there are other things in life that are far more important
Yeah way to stick it to Samsung by throwing out last quarters model and buying the brand new one.
I see both sides, though we didn't have ten or fifteen roms to flash, this phone was not a waste at all. It's a solid phone for my use. But flashing roms has become a hobby and I don't like not doing that either. So even though most of the developers are going to the Nexus. I just don't like having no SD or removable battery either. And how are they handling any replacements for a phone currently not carried by Big Red? May not be the place for me to ask that but I'm curious.
You might want to check out the Note 4 forum for scripts that can disable a ton of the bloatware without root. I am still rocking rooted MJE so I can't test it with kitkat. It supposedly will run on most android phones. Just wanted to mention a potential solution until root achieved.

So locked note 3 to a locked down note 4 when you are stuck with the options of motorola or sony for unlockable phones that are on verizon.
IF you really have to have CM 12 you are going to have to either make sure the phone you get at that time has an unlockable bl or is a nexus.
And as for the note 4 it is only a slight upgrade over the note 3 and both will someday get lollipop note 4 sooner than the note 3...

Yeah it's a great phone. If you are a grandma with Alzheimers and don't know what rooting is. I have it. I use it to lure theives into my place so I can shoot them. I post pictures on Craigslist of it sitting on my front door step. so far Ive had a dog knock my trashcan over... no way to root it man. they've had scientists working on it for months. so far. we've found that Verizon stuck a big FU on it and then charged $770 for and then just for fun they call to remind you that there are companies such as straight talk that charge a fraction of the price and your bill is due. if you can't pay. too bad you can't take your s6 edge plus to another company cuz they love you so much and if you look at that other phone they will slap the piss out of you in public. basically you bought an overly insecure girlfriend in the form of a phone. but hey at least you can't expand the memory with a micro sd right?! I couldn't trade it for a rock being dropped on my foot. ENJOY!
Lol you are hilarious. I bought the phone for 350, its just gorgeous. Would have loved the root which I miss. However its a steal at 350 given the hardware stupendous phone, display, style and camera unmatchable in the hardware section. I bought it unlocked so I can use it anywhere
Hope Verizon unlocks bootloader soon... Cheers...

Yeah I have been hoping for a while. actually I do have a question concerning it and not sure who to ask. If i were to swap the logic board with say a t mobile one would I be able to root it? I know this would basically make it t mobile phone but then i could root it. I found one craigslist for 100. not too hard to do either. I've replaced the screens on a bunch of galaxy phones. and not the cheap two sided tape either but the UV glue and all.
Apparently Verizon S6 Edge variant already has a working root. Dont know why Plus model doesnt have. Looks to me that given it was expensive not many experts bought it and hence no root as developers and experts didnt buy it maybe.

Yeah you may have a point there but man am I hoping you're wrong. especially with the note 7 coming out at $100 more than the s6 edge plus. I will say the one thing that I have been upset not to see is the 16mp camera lately. it seems backwards as heck and I think some of the designers are smoking their own bath water at samsung... I can see the board room meeting now. "I have the absolute best idea ever! let's put a bad ass camera on this thing and then we'll throw away the micro SD slot so you can really only get a picture of Samsung waving and smiling! And then after everyone complains about it we'll bring back the SD slot and the S7 will come stock with a permanent bootloop animation of us flipping them off!" and then the CEO says "genius! and let's not bring back the big screen either. because the dumb asses who buy the s6 edge plus and get use to the big phone will then get the s7 and because it's smaller will drop it. leaving little pieces of glass all over the US and cutting the bastards feet. Get to is boys! next a I want to come out with a 3 in 1 laptop. first you have a tablet mode and then of course the laptop, but then randomly a baseball bat comes out an beats the living hell out of the user. The US will fall just like the south fell to the yankees when they introduced Twinkies and mobile homes."

"I have the absolute best idea ever! let's put a bad ass camera on this thing and then we'll throw away the micro SD slot so you can really only get a picture of Samsung waving and smiling! And then after everyone complains about it we'll bring back the SD slot and the S7 will come stock with a permanent bootloop animation of us flipping them off!" and then the CEO says "genius! and let's not bring back the big screen either. because the dumb asses who buy the s6 edge plus and get use to the big phone will then get the s7 and because it's smaller will drop it. leaving little pieces of glass all over the US and cutting the bastards feet. Get to is boys! next a I want to come out with a 3 in 1 laptop. first you have a tablet mode and then of course the laptop, but then randomly a baseball bat comes out an beats the living hell out of the user. The US will fall just like the south fell to the yankees when they introduced Twinkies and mobile homes."

im new at this whole thing. ive been trying for weeks and even months to try and find info on rooting this dang phone. So, it cant even be rooted with the bootloader unlocked?
Looks like. Mostly because not many people bought it because it was expensive and developers also didn't buy it. I'm sure it's easy for any seasoned developer to root it. But I don't know anyone. Anyways very happy for a price I bought it 350 bucks unlocked.

Apparently Verizon S6 Edge variant already has a working root. Dont know why Plus model doesnt have. Looks to me that given it was expensive not many experts bought it and hence no root as developers and experts didnt buy it maybe.

its unlocked? Bootloader is unlocked? or is the OEM unlock toggle checked in DEV options, some will assume because that's checked that its unlocked, Sorry to Burst your bubble but All premium phones at Verizon are unlocked for international use, meaning you can use other sim cards in them But I doubt the Bootloader is Unlocked from verizon
I'm gonna be buying a temp phone soon so I will be able to send mine to a dev if anybody is interested in trying to crack this device.
You got it.

I need root too.. i want to remove verizon screen when startup..
Even Verizon galaxy s7 has been rooted by the community. I don't think we can get root unless any big developer buys this. Till then enjoy the hardware and pray we might get root and better software experience :laugh:
