Buying a used z2 tablet off ebay. Its the verizon version. I don't have verizon/nor plan to use it on lte. Just wondering if it is rootable?
It is rootable. It is slightly involved and is limited to lollipop. Bootloader also cannot be unlocked.

Hey all, I am very interested in this phone, but I have a question...
I had the Z1s on T-Mobile, and as far as I remember, it wasn't rootable, and I couldn't put my custom rom on there. Is this possible with the Z2? I would love to have a stock Google rom on there if possible, as I am not a fan of the Sony skin and bloatware, but I am loving the phone design, and camera.
Just make sure you buy one with an unlockable bootloader (not carrier branded) and root is no problem
I was planning on ordering through Amazon, I believe it says it is unlocked.

Will that work on T-Mobile?
Yes - I'm using it on tmobile. It gets LTE.

I'm also looking at getting a Z2 to use on T-Mobile in the US. I hope this unit you linked to is bootloader unlockable. Is this the lowest price you have found? I'm searching high and low for the best price before pulling the trigger.
Thats the best price that I've found online.
While working to get my GPe Ultra back up and running, I was looking around for any good deals in case I have to end up buying a replacement, and came across a 32-GB version of the Z Ultra. I was so tempted but ultimately, I prefer LTE & this one is (Japan version) not LTE compatible with US At&t. But if anyone is interested, take a look at
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNLOCKED-NE...542?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35e3aac226
I did confirm with the seller that it is not the Wifi only version, and not compatible with At&t LTE
Hopefully, the Z4 version will be out soon (maybe get more info next in March) and will have 32GB minimum.

That's what I thought too, but apparently, there is a cellular model:

Hello everyone, I live in the US using AT&T LTE. What phone model will work for me and can be rooted n flash some ROMs? I read that a particular model can't do that, can u guys help?
Thanks in Advanced!
You need a C6806 since your using AT&T and want LTE as well.
They're kind of hard to find brand new now for a reasonable price, unless you don't mind buying a used device.

Thanks for the reply. I currently have the note 3 and one+ but something about the size of the screen that makes me want it lol.
Found a seller reburbished for $276 on ebay...
Right now I'm on Verizon w/ a Nexus 5x running CM13 and Xposed. I want something with a larger screen as my phone has become almost my laptop. I know Verizon can be a bit tricky with running unlocked phones and custom Roms. I'm not really interested in buying a used branded Verizon phone and running LG/Samsung version of Android. What are my best options here? Are you on Verizon and what do you use? My price range is 300-425$

Does the USA based tab S6 have a unlocked/oem unlock bootloader? Looking to buy a new tablet that has an easy unlock. Sick of messing with the locked flagship phones.
Wait for confirmation from one of our American users, but I'm sure I've read Verizon locks all their bootloaders. So at the very least, you need one not from that carrier.

Just looking at a wifi model.
Anyone with a USA tab s6? ready to order but not going to bother if its locked.
Look for model number. Usa is not model number and nobody makes usa tab s6. Avoid your corrupt oligopoly carrier versions and you will easily root it. Wifi models are never carrier versions of course

I understand that, I was referring to the US market Tab s6 Wifi. Model SM-T860NZAAXAR or SM-T860NZALXAR.
All the US market snapdragon samsung phones have a locked bootloader and just wanted to be sure before I drop $500+ on one of these tablets.
Yes they do but tablets don't. I don't know why sunggnus didn't unlock it's unlocked sim phones though. Seems very illogical, but logic and big companies is completely incompatible thing in any way
I bought the SM-T860NZAAXAR model through Amazon (sold and shipped by Amazon) back in November 2019 for $539.00 and it came with an unlockable bootloader. I am unlocked and rooted. So far so good.

Thanks boss, just bought a 256/8gb model. Wish me luck!
most likely will be locked on any carrier, s4 was the same even when paid off tmobile nor samsung would do it tmobile actually asked on my behalf and they said no.
