Just being optimistic is all.... probably won't make a difference in the long run, but at least we have a chance. A very, very, very, very, very small chance that is

It's not honestly even worth the try...I wish it was believe me! But in reality us people who actually root our devices is such a small percentage to the total amount of people who don't that there's absolutely no way that they will care enough.. and I very well could be mistaken but I believe your not gonna want to send votes to Samsung but to the actual US carriers and others who use the Snapdragon devices because if I'm not mistaken they are the reason behind the locked bootloaders. Started off with Sprint and Verizon then finally Att and Tmobile being the last carrier to do so. From my understanding Samsung doesn't care and really why should they? But these carriers get these big corporations to pay them to put their bloat on the device and with a unlocked bootloader users can just erase it and also apply hacks like wifi tether and such. So your gonna want to send your votes to the carriers. Goodluck

As sad as it might be but I think the last unlockable Note was the 5. I'm optimistic but hopefully T-Mobile has something worth jumping to this fall.

You are correct... due to Samsung Pay, it will never happen.

is samsung pay the reason why bootloaders are not unlockable?

samsung wants the corporate accounts, and couldnt care less about the average consumers cell phone purchases; companies who buy 1000 phone at a time do not want any security cracks, so, Samsung will NEVER unlock the bootloaders on phones they sell in the USA..
dont waste your bandwidth signing some silly petition; if you want to unlock your bootloader, get an Exxnos version, NOT a Snapdragon version, period..

Over 100? I'll bet they stop and pay attention now.

Hint: there were over 650K units bought pre sale. There were several million sold. Perhaps that puts into perspective just how miniscule the modding community is.

If you want an unlocked bootloader buy a phone that has an unlocked bootloader.

Ok so I rooted my note 8 EDL method with 7.1, I managed to get the OEM UNLOCK to pop up after submitting shell command in my ADB Terminal.....I simply typed

$ su

# resetprop ro.boot.oem.lock 0
# resetprop ro.boot.other.locked 0
# resetprop ro.boot.flash.locked 0

Went back into development options and there is was saying my bootloader is already unlocked but my issue is the secure boot when I try to flash magisk or twrp via safestrap I get the annoying unauthorized firmware has been flashed! Ugh ...... any way to script that secure boot out?

I was looking at device info and I noticed ro.oem unlocked supported 1 does this mean the snapdragon bootloader is unlocked

Agree.. Leaving Samsung family once my Battery is at no return.. Because Samsung has always given US consumers the middle finger.

But when when you state get Exxnos VS. Snapdragon cnipset, were talking Exxnos(Samsung CPU make) vs. Snapdragon (Qualcomm CPU make). If Samsung could have locked down Exxnos, they would have.
so not sure the connection there. Is it that Exxnos was never sold directly in US?

Would love to find a reliable / updated source that shows this on one site. For next time around ..
