Likelihood we will really see root poll

[androidddaaron]

I'm just wondering I jumped conclusions on this device originally and made a hasty rant about the phone in aggravation over the locked BL.. Which was my fault .
I have since second guessed that and repurchased a 2nd s7 it's a truly great phone really believe that .
I'm only here to get real opinions on the likelihood we will get what we want which is A method to unlock bootloader what's everyone's honest thoughts that it either likely will or won't happen even at this point .Any reputable sources anywhere showing progress besides the petition?

I read an article that the phone can be rooted under developer settings "oem unlock" then Odin the .tar file for US version....
Found it on PhoneArena.com
Don't know how legit it is

I'm talking about rooting the U.S version not the international I know that can be rooted already.

How does Odin a stock tar root ?
What script method are you referring to?
I kind of meant and was talking about rooting the tmobile variant.

T-Mobile is supposed to be working with Samsung to unlock the bootloader if you look at John's tweet about it. I don't know how far that'll go or how much they care, though.

Fortunately, if you look through the replies, T-Mobile's official account replied on the 21st

@riclee19 @JohnLegere This is something we are looking into for your family, and many others. We hope to have an update soon. *AshleyH

So maybe there is hope.

My idea Is that this s7 Bootloader issue thats so important to the root community and actually myself which we happen to be a small fraction of the over all consumer base.... is likely considered minor and extra headache in the big scheme of things to Samsung.. they figure the loss of loosing root community consumers is a future gain to not have to deal with us down the road .

Anything is possible with getting a tool or method to unlock but these tweets aren't implying much at this point ..another words the feedback and progress is who knows .
One recognized developer mentioned that if we do get it will likely be the end of the course run for this device by the time it arrives.
