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.

Still no oem unlock. This device is paid for and owned by myself. Once I purchase this device, my security is up to me. If I purchase a gun but leave it at home, is it the manufactures decision to force me to attach it to my hip? Are they to blame when I get raped walking down the street without it?? No. Of course not! And neither it is samsungs decision or right or business what I do or don't do with the security package you provided to me. Developers and hackers are hiding backdoor entrance into your so called security allowing them access into a lot more than my underwear. And what's worse?? I can't access it because I don't have root access to delete it. What kind of security is this again?? Put oem unlock on my phone before you are to blame for a multi billion dollar law suit for refusing root access and subsequently security access to the owner of a private device which has then cost that consumer hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Unlock now!!! T-mobile leaked my info, Samsung is holding my security hostage "for my own protection" and in the meantime my phone, Banks, passwords, and underwear (figuratively) are being raped!!! I bet it was a samsung employee that bought my imei knowing i couldnt stop them, wasnt it?? Hey samsung, how's the term CLASS ACTION SOUND TO YOU?!?!? As of today you owe me $3700 USD due to your protection. How much more do I need to say??? Please feel free to contact me personally. I'm logged in. You know who I am. I expect to see oem unlock on my imei's shortly. Thanks!
