[elliwigy]

hi guys, quick question can i flash stock canadian software on the sm-g988o?

no.. g988w is a locked device.. firmware not interchangeable with g9880

 

[Vastopian]

any chance for SM-G988U?

 

[jimbo77]

any chance for SM-G988U?

No chance.... U models are completely locked, no way to unlock Bootloader which means no custom recovery for u

@jesec , I succesfully built LOS for X1Q, but do not want to trip Knox depending on the status of it, could you tell us more about your progress with LOS and what is its current status ? What is working and not working ?

This custom recovery is working fine on the Japanese model.

SM-G981N (S20, Korea)

Japanese model (SC-*) also use Snapdragon but I can't not confirm that its bootloader is unlockable. - UNTESTED
It is known that bootloader can NOT be unlocked on U.S. models (U/U1) .

Lineage Recovery is a minimal recovery that works.

Guide:
1. Unlock your bootloader and disable AVB (Guide Thread)
2. Go to download mode
3. Put the TAR archive to AP slot in Odin and click start.
4. Reboot to recovery via recovery key combo.

Magisk (ef9d077c) is included. To flash it, use Apply update - > Choose from root, then go to .builtin folder.

Working:
Standard recovery functions
ADB root shell access and sideload
External SD card access
Userspace fastboot aka "fastbootd" (use Advanced -> Enter fastboot or "reboot fastboot")

Side note: Use flash.jesec.io to sideload. (Sources).

Not working:
Encryption/Decryption (Internal storage NOT accessible)

Hi, is there any chance to get an unlocked bootloader for the US Snapdragon U1 version (sm-g988u1)? It's nonsense not to be able to get 5G and esim support for this model...
