I have G975U1 Galaxy S10 Plus

I don't know how or why people argue or fight about this topic. It is simple. Why lock the bootloader? They say it is for security. This is reasonable and okay for people who want the security.

So why not allow for an unlock option for those who want to live on the edge? My phone is already carrier unlocked, there is no carrier who will be angry about unlocking the bootloader also. Some people enjoy sky diving, some people would never do it because you are risking your life. People should not be forced to skydive, and people should not be forced not to skydive if they want to.

Unlocking a bootloader is not risking life, so I don't see why Samsung locks it and all they say is "we do not recommend it" hmm, well I don't really care about the recommendation. I am a customer, I buy your products because you have always had unlock feature in the past and I enjoy your hardware with customizations in software. So it is a simple request to unlock. The fact is I won't buy Samsung products if they are treating me like this. Like I am a prisoner or criminal just because I enjoy the thrill of living dangerous and controlling my own software environment. There is no harm to let me unlock the bootloader at my own risk. 

I know there is an individual who has an exploited way to unlock the bootloader, but he charges a lot of money to do it. There should be a simple feature, an option to unlock. OEM Unlock no longer exists in Developer mode. Please put the option back. You will only lose customers by restricting our passionate desires. 

 

Also please unlock my phone bootloader specifically. To refuse this means you no longer want me as a customer. I will need to find alternatives.

Hold on. There you go. Moreover OEM unlock Kills Knox, which is important for your device security. Well, if you dont want it, OEM unlock and flash whatever you want. The warranty will be gone the moment you flash new custom ROM. And that isn't your concern I suppose. 1645335142578.jpg

OEM unlock doesn't kill KNOX, as long as you haven't unlocked the bootloader and you are on official software.

May be I was a bit off track from OEM unlock, but I do mention that once you flash custom ROM warranty will be gone and that will definitely kill the knox.

I fully understand the risks of this but when this device stops receiving updates I can't modify or continue to make my product successfully work despite I paid good money for this product. I want an update that will alow me to continue to use my device as this is planned obsolescence and shouldn't be like this.
