How can we so kindly ask for the release of bootloader code for SM-G965U1? 

 

Also would like to hear the reasoning behind taking away the option to use development option OEM LOCK for USA 🇺🇸  devices? While international SM-G9650/DS its available after 7 days?

answer is simple : Country regulations.

in USA devices comes with 3 type . locked , unlocked and Unbranded CSC .

i dont understand why you want OEM unlock . whats your purpose

not Just samsung , devices like pixel etc in USA with carrier locked or Unlocked dont allow OEM unlock

Left out answer to the main question.

How can we so kindly ask for the release of bootloader code for SM-G965U1? 

(USA with carrier locked or Unlocked dont allow OEM unlock)

LoL Don't allow it? We do live in America right? Land of the free right!  But what gives those carriers the right to make me keep the garbage apps I dont need and never will need on MY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR DEVICE? 

 

Can you truthfully say I own it, if I can't delete what I dont want from the device?

 

Because I like a clean clutter free device! When I don't want an app like AR ZONE, Tips ect.. I can simply delete it! Which is my choice! But I get option to disable only. Alot very nice custom roms out there, better kernel.

what you said for that you dont need bootloader unlocked

read FREE SOFTWARE concept .. You are just Free to use it , you are not the person to decide what it should have or not

thats what FOSS ,free software

If You wanr complete pure android than You will end up with a command promopt and black screen with no GUI

all androids has apps as per device and service requirements .

False, we were forced to agree with that, anyway we would be unable to call anyone or use their crp. This is blckmail, not mutually agreed terms.

use ODIN ,get TWRP loader flash it , android rooting is different process .


rooting samaung rom will break many features

do all at your own risk

twrp flash is slight different in samsung , even after successful flash with twrp binary it will rollback to stock bootloader . for that you have to google how to prevent it

False again, is it some Samsung troll??? or T-mobile shill??? No , neither twrp, nor adb works, if you have the latest bootloader lock on your device, as I do. I am not going to use android crp, but even if fully paid, I am forced to use it. Pls do not spread false info, twrp not even installing, and I put a bounty on sites to unlock it, so far I did not paid, and my phone is still unrooted. False info again.

Holy **bleep**! The boldness (you are not the person to decide what it should have or not?) 

I bought the device! If I want it to have a command  prompt black screen with no gui onscreen, I am 100% the person to decide that once I paid for the  device!! Oem unlock I can change the software then I dont need the free software, Foss free software I dont want IT Im held hostage to it. Its not free it called FORCED to use it!

Absolutely unacceptable not to allow me to root my device.  

It's my little computer,  I should decide what I install,  period.

This started as carriers preventing access to Hotspot control without paying extra for Hotspot features.  Now,  it's a hostage situation with no escape. 

Shameful behavior on the part of any entity continuing to prevent owners of $1k devices to really own that device.
