Thank you.
I got mine from B&H. Let me know if you need a tester.
Terrible. I wanted to buy the unlocked model but if no root ever available then i don't want it.

When is the last time you saw an unlocked BL on any AT&T device let alone an LG?
Honestly kind of a moot question at this point although Id love to be wrong on this

If you want to unlock you need to get a T-Mobile LG as their usually always unlockable.

is it in the stores yet to play with?
Good luck with AT&T unlocking their bootloaders. We had AT&T up until recently and it was always a pipe dream to get an unlocked bootloader. Buy an unlocked model or get the TMobile version.
There are so many variants my head is spinning.
I just want to be able to go on eBay and buy a phone that I can use on AT&T and flash a ROM on it.
Sm-g950f or sm-g950fd if you want dual sim.

Is it worth waiting to see if the US unlocked version can be BL unlocked? Is the exynos better anyway?
Also what about the +? Is there a bootloader unlocked version of the SM-G950F ?
Just bought the G955F on eBay.

The only thing unlocked with the us unlocked phones is their ability to work on all carriers, nothing to do with bootloader locks. Exynos has an unlocked bootloader, so that makes it better i guess.

So have you got it? how's it working on AT&T? I am getting ready to buy one too.
Got it and it works flawlessly! I'm told I can't do video calling over the network or something like that but I don't use that anyway.

I'm reading on their website that the handsets are Qualcomm, so no you will not be able to root.

I mean, for now, right? They were working on the Snapdragon and last week even managed to get root access.

I have a freedom s8 and currently there is no root but you can expect a root within the next few weeks. But since the bootloader cannot be unlocked, you cant flash any roms or anything. I would suggest getting an exynos s8 (wifi calling dosent seem to be coming anyways)
All Canadian S8 are SD can't be rooted, Rogers freedom bell MTS Telus XAC etc... all falls under SM-950W or SM-955W. Someone is working on the US version. so soon we can.
Seems like it's not possible to get a straight answer.
Thanks.

Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader of which the u.s. snapdragon models do not have. Your straight answer is no it does not.

OK what is EFT dongle exactly? Isn't a dongle a type of cable? Do you have to sideload a custom rom to upgrade a snapdragon galaxy s7 edge tp android pie??

Why not look in the T-Mobile section for the S7e? There are plenty of threads about rooting the US version of the S7e. I'm on Verizon and have been rooted for about 9 months now.
And you do not need any damn dongle to root the phone either. I didn't. Just note that depending on your current bootloader version you might be out of luck. Again, check the T-Mobile threads...

On my galaxy s7 edge snapdragon phone the oem unlock is not grayed out.. I switched it to on. Is my bootloader unlocked now?
If your S7edge is a UNITED STATES SNAPDRAGON version, you will NEVER be able to unlock the bootloader. EXYNOS or Chinese Snapdragon, YES. USA Snadragon- NEVER.

So the fact that the oem unlock is not greyed out and I can switch it to unlock doesn't make my U. S. phones bootloader unlocked?
. If so why is it not grayed out in developer option?. Thanks for your reply.
If your S7 is US-spec, you CAN NOT unlock the bootloader. Period.
That button you mention does absolutely nothing.
I have nothing else to add.
