[Bounty] SM-N975U1 Note 10+ (USA unlocked version) bootloader unlock and root method
- Thread starter 117micc
- Start date
I get it, but given they both share 99% of everything else and that there are almost no dedicated threads to the 5G version, a lot of people follow rooting progress here. I'm only making a reference to the bootloader because in the 5G version, it was bootloader 1 until June.

No one here can answer your question. We don't have an exploit. So telling you this bootloader is better or worse than the last for achieving root is a complete shot in the dark.
Do what your heart tells you.
You are mistaken. I never asked a question. I simply replied to a question someone asked. Before you speak, get your facts together.

Oh wow I mixed up people. Changes zero about my statement besides who got quoted.
The thin air up there on that high horse must tend to make people grumpy.

Hey everyone,
I think I've mentioned this before, but can we all please be respectful and kind to one another. Regardless of who said what, when, to who, let's stay courteous to others and try to stay on topic. I understand this thread had been around for months, without any real relevant updates, but honestly it covers with the territory.
We are all crossing our fingers and hoping for the same thing, arguing, being disrespectful, or condescending to one another is not going to make an exploit for this device happen any faster. Let's all stay professional and proper please. Thank you so much!

We all are, ( besides the ones trying to crack it )
This is Samsung's official response to unlocking n75u's bootloader:
There are two kinds of phones in this world: Those that let you unlock your boot loader, and those that don’t. Whether you’re allowed to unlock your boot loader depends on the carrier of your phone and the model you have, along with the region it was manufactured for. Samsung phones don't carry official ways to get the boot loader unlocked nor there is any documentations for the same. Further, Samsung phones manufactured for US carriers are boot loader locked. If a User goes ahead and tries to get the device rooted or boot loader unlocked would have a bricked device and the internet forum's which share this kind of articles do have the disclaimer mentioned on their respective websites. The decryption keys for the data partition and the Knox container contents are lost when packages not blessed by Samsung are flashed, you will just have a boot looping phone on your hands until you wipe data. The e-fuse makes sure that Knox won't initialize on a tampered device nor the services work on these kind of devices. Samsung values you as a customer and want to insure that we have provided you with the answer you were looking for. If for any reason the information we provided did not resolve your issue, we have various contact channels that are available to assist in resolving your concern. For further clarification you can reach us on The phone support number and Hours of Operation are as bellow 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864) Hours of Operation •9:00am - 11:00pm Eastern, Monday through Friday •9:00am - 9:00pm Eastern, Saturday and Sunday Visit us on

It seems that as time goes on the only way to have a phone that has an unlocked bootloader is to buy non flagship devices. I mean really I for one don't care about the gimmicky features. I only care about being able to put some sort of sound mod on my phone and to boost the performance. I'm not a photographer soooo I don't care about having top notch camera features and such.

The only reason I haven't went with the Pixel is because of the screen size

This seems like a response from a well informed tech support person and not an official Samsung message.
That said it doesn't express anything we don't know, doesn't really change the efforts of anyone attempting to find an exploit to circumvent their fail-safes.

One plus 7t..
I know a little about it security procedures has anyone attempted any exploits using something like the metasploit framework or other exploit and description tools on kali linux?
With the plethora of tools that are put together in these versions of Linux it seems like there would be some sort of method to get an exploit from one of these established frameworks to disable Knox and possibly get something unlocked even if it's not the full unlocked we're looking for

Good morning Thread, (USA - est here)
I have currently switched from the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus to the. OnePlus 8 5G with T-mobile. I still currently have my Note but I am uploading it to swappa soon with the intentions of selling it as soon as possible. If by some miracle a bootloader unlock and root are achieved before that happens I may keep it, but that is highly unlikely. I will still keep the thread up for now but eventually I may close it or possible transfer it to a reputable developer that wants to continue the thread. Honestly, I'm not sure if that's possible. I truly hope that an unlock is achieved as well as root, and I believe that one day it will. Thanks to all that have participated and been active in this thread, you are immensely appreciated. Good luck

Just use Odin to flash the unlocked firmware that your device came with out of the box. I'm not being a jerk, but I don't understand why so many here do things to their devices but then have no idea how to correct things and need help.My best advice is have a better understanding of firnware..odin..flashing before doing anything.
