LG has started to sell the international version D802 in Hong Kong since last week.
Is it available in other countries yet?
So far I only see we got some developments for US carrier and Korean variant but none for international.
Can't wait to see the roms for international variant!

yep, we heve it here in israel , but it will deliverd from the 1/10 with the international release of lg,
I do! I'm in Singapore, the telcos here all sell the D802.
Do you have root running on it? I'm not sure if IO root works on it(don't dare to void my warranty yet, especially with the root check software LG built in)
IOroot works on D802! I rooted my phone already.
SERIOUS. I'll do it tomorrow
Anything popping up anywhere on a "modified status" or such? I supposed TWRP should work too right ^^

IKR. Best part is that it's cheaper than the other top end devices out there *Note 3*
@somboons
Ahwell :/ What do you think could cause that? I have no idea how to build roms/kernels/recoveries but I think (hope) it's a few small tweaks to the installer

Because they are slightly different, someone needs go on IRC to give the devs the aboot and recovery images and then test it out.

hello , quick question about rooting the LG G2 (or any other phone in this case). Can I root the phone and leave all the software and functionalities, gimmicky software, bloatware intact ? The only reason I'm looking forward to root this phone is to install Cerberus Rooted Version. And can I unroot the phone afterward so not to avoid warranty ? Thanks
I really wouldn't mind doing that Worst case scenario is a fresh firmware flash right?

Hi guys, I'm yet consistently looking for a way to bypass the Samsung Galaxy S9+ Snapdragon's bootloader (SM-G965W) and root the device. Please let me know if I have missed any progress on the S9+ SD root that took place from my sight. There are few links out there, but all of them want to start with "activate OEM unlock." In my case, the OEM option doesn't even exist in the SM-G965W model (in developer mode).
Good luck. :silly:
Even if you flash to the U1 firmware, OEM Unlock still does not appear in Developer Options.
Based on previous history over the last few years , and lack of ANY progress in this area.
Hell will freeze over before this ever happens.
Sell the crapdragon and buy an exynos, problem solved...well other than waiting 168hrs of up time for OEM unlock to appear.

I thought the exynos varient is inferior in terms of battery life and gpu?

A minute variance. Not that great. However its all perspective.
I would agree on GPU for sure but if you dont game it wont matter.
I was worried about the battery life before i bought mine honestly but its been great. Close to par with my pixel 2 XL so i have no complaints.
I did mean more in the sense of not being locked down, we have twrp, root, roms , kernels etc.
The snap is a paperweight in this regard.

The U and W variants are never unlockable, and as it stands now all preexisting root methods for previous devices have been patched.
The U1 variant is not, nor has t ever been bootloader unlockable. The "unlocked" in it's name refers to the fact that it is sim unlocked and can work on any carrier.
There is however a snapdragon device that does have an unlockable bootloader. It's the 9650/9600 and last year with the s8 it was only available in China/Hong Kong, but this year with the so family they are selling it in Central and South America, so there is modem firmware that works perfectly fine in the US.
I'm writing this on one now, with 4g+ and volte on vzw using stock firmware, and oem lock off and 0x1 knox waiting for RMM status normal to flash twrp again

Finally, a matured answer to my sincere question; many out there just wanted to show off that they are better than others and full of mockeries. Thank you @partcyborg for enlightening me on this issue; so the million dollars answer is 9650/9600 model firmware for my SM-G965W? :good:

That will instantly hard brick your device if you are successful in flashing it (most likely, you simply wouldnt be). Samsung specifically uses different chains of trust for these devices to keep US users from doing exactly this. We had several hard bricks to edl with the s8 caused by this, and were unable to fix them ourselves until the firehose programmer popped up letting us flash from edl.

Bro im not sure how up to date you are on the US snap S9 or how much experience or past history you have with sammy but there is no option for root on that device now.
You either can wait to see if it happens which it may, but historically its broken and makes the device run terrible (s7) or limits charging (s8).
Or ditch the locked down POS and go with an exynos or a HK snap version. Which is IMO the best option which is why i went exynos.
Sorry to be blunt but those are your current options.

My guess is the 960U/965U will be rooted eventually, but as the previous commented alludes to, it wont be the same as a device with OEM unlock. Long story short, you can flash system images but not boot or recovery, and as such no one really bothers to make roms for it. For a stretch I had the only G950U/G955U rom on the site.
I agree get rid of it if you can With two options existing this year for unlocked international devices, there is really no reason to go another way if you can afford it. Return the 965U if you can, or sell it online if you cant. My only difference in opinion is I think the 9650 (unlocked snapdragon) is a better buy this year, given that:
1) The Exynos has really bad issues with CPU governing and maybe something else, and
2) The 9650 works on all US carriers (mine is sitting here on VZW with a 4g+ signal and VOLTE fully functional)
3) With the s9+ being a treble device, the specific vendor should not be nearly the same factor in running a rom, as for basically anything designed for the s9 should be compatible on either version (as you will leave the vendor partition alone)

I can see that you are from Toronto as well; FYI, I have the SM-G965W model on Rogers' network. I been rooting all my phones previously, except the LG V20 and sold that for that very reason and got this S9+. My last galaxy phone was S2, and so I didn't seem aware of the OEM lock issues on the higher galaxy models. Seriously, selling the phone is a real pain, and losing its value; that's why I'm trying to find another solution. The only reason I'm still hoping to root G965W is that I have seen people successfully converted their G965W model into other rooted versions. Please help

Thanks again. If I were to sell my G965W and buy another phone, then the 9650 (unlocked snapdragon) would be your first choice? Will that work on Canadian network such as Rogers'?
Anyone know where the Galaxy s9+ SMG965 F/ds comes from? I bought it off eBay from a verified seller because they had a pretty good deal and everything on it seems to be functioning but there's no OEM unlock button at all and it just seems fake the charger that came with it was super bulky and had 3 prongs and the bottom one was plastic for some reason

Hmm
start with dialing *#1234#. this should tell you model and what CSC is on it
put the phone on download mode, it should tell you on that screen the model, I believe I heard that is difficult to fake that boot screen
Forgot to mention, connect the phone to to your pc through smart switch, If it is a fake it should pick it up
That adapter plug sounds like a European plug or maybe the Chinese plug. If you watch the YouTube video unboxing from Maxx Lee I bet it's the same one he has.

Just read on bay that the model does not support any cdma bands at all, Verizon sprint etc. also said it comes with an int charger but a usa adapter should have been included. stated it is factory unlocked.

Yeah I'll try it, I just plugged it into my computer and it came up as a S9+ but when it got delivered to my house there was no shipping label or anything on it it was just a taped up box xD that's another reason why I thought it was sketchy but at any rate do you know if the 965F can be rooted? Ik it has to be an exynos but is there a setting I can check for that? I looked in about phone and didn't see it but I also checked for OEM unlock in the developer settings and it didn't exist so I might just be overlooking them lol

Hello Pixel 6 users in HK
May you be so kind as to share your experience of using this device here ?
I'm going to get one as a cheap replacement to my S21U, which is close to failing and I want to sell while it retains value...
Does it work well on the local networks (I use 3HK) ? I understand I won't be able to use 5G but I don't care.
Also, I suppose it is still not possible to use NFC with Octopus for transport and such on non Samsung phones, right ? Might be the one thing I miss.
I am not in HK, but 5G should be working for you now. NFC with Octopus shouldnt work.

HK user here. I rooted my JP spec one to an international version, got google pay and nfc to work but I don't use octopus with phone so I can't confirm on that. I use 1010 so I can't comment on how well 3HK coverage would be but mine works well enough in 4G and 5G is working for some people already via rooted mods.

Absolutely not possible. Samsung in their infinite wisdom decided to make the u and u1 (north American models) not have an OEM unlock option in the software because without that the bootloader can NEVER be unlocked and no bootloader unlock no flashing anything but Samsung software.

Nope because even if you buy it out completely from Samsung without a carrier you still can't unlock the bootloader in north America. It's baked into the firmware for all u and u1 devices that Samsung removed the ability to OEM unlock

Oh, I didn't even know that. I remember back a decade or so ago, when I first got into flashing firmware and all that, there was a lot of talk about how Verizon and (I think ATT) were basically demanding the phone producers lock the bootloaders. And they cited things like "safety" arguing that it was dangerous having people run unofficial operating systems on their networks. That kind of garbage. I guess that's not what it is anymore, which is even more sad.

It's one of the big talking points of right to repair now the right to use your device as you want because if you install what you want on something you own, do you actually own it?

Yeah for sure. Wasn't that part of what went into the Library of Congress basically making explicit it was okay to root/jailbreak your device?
I haven't been able to properly unlock a bootloader and root a phone since my LG3. The S7 had that ENG boot you could flash but that impacted your phone's stability. My S20, I know for a time you could pay people to unlock you, but that also made me sad LOL and I never did it. I miss being able to unlock and root "normally" but have learned to cope, I guess.

Unfortunately afaik it was only specified for apple devices not android
Hi I'm definitely considering on purchasing a a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but now that I read that US version bootloader can't be unlocked the question is which variant should I get International or Global? I live in US will these versions work properly on T-Mobile? Currently I own a OnePlus 7T Pro it's rooted and I have an awesome custom ROM on it. I was going to upgrade for a newer model and then I found out that OnePlus has made it difficult to do so, it was so easy that if you bricked your phone by a mistake to recover using MSM tool which was available publicly at no cost. The newer models not so if you happen to brick your phone you have to pay, at a hefty price to have it un-bricked remotely and even so not guaranteed to work properly after. Anyway will Global or International S23 Ultra function on T-Mobile also I'm well aware that by rooting, the Knox will be tripped. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

It should but I don't think 5g will be supported but other bands should work. But don't quote me on it.
