SamPWND Bootloader Unlocking for SM-G970U AT&T Model<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It's no secret that Samsung devices have shipped with permanently locked bootloaders on most US carriers for many years now. I recently purchased a used S10e SM-G970U ATT and was unfortunately reminded of this. Somehow I had forgotten what a pain it was to unlock these things before my purchase. After some research when I found the OEM unlocking feature in Developer Options was missing in Android. Some more research later I learned that unlocking is in fact possible. Possible if you have the means. A functional exploit for S10, S20, and Fold\/Flip devices does in fact exist to unlock the bootloader but it is private and proprietary. I purchased an unlock for $100 flat from https:\/\/www.sampwnd.com\/ <\/a>and it worked great. Hopefully this exploit is released to the public in the future but this is out best shot currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information on requirements and supported devices and be found in elliwigy<\/a> XDA developers post: https:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/t\/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I provided my DID adb shell getprop ro.boot.em.did<\/code> and paid my hundred bones. Then I waited for a Discord message. They can either contact you with Telegram or Discord it's up to you. After getting a message to download some software called usbredirector-customer-module.exe<\/code> I connected to their session with my device in Download Mode and within 10 seconds my device rebooted with an unlocked bootloader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it worth it? I think yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
