Either way, do you have a link specifically for the Tmo version of this phone? The mods frown on posting certain links on this board so you will need to go to the XDA boards and do a search. No worries Ill look. I know I saw on XDA there was the non Chinese ATT Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultras that were unlocked. I need to do a deeper search for this one. Gracias.69Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Since we pay off devices we should be able to unlock the bootloader.
That's not necessarily true. Like I said before, the ATT version has been unlocked, rooted, and custom roms installed. Which of course is not the Chinese version. The carrier is responsible for the firmware that comes out on the carrier locked phones which the carrier can allow for them to be unlocked in the firmware. Even the non carrier locked samsungs can be unlocked. The answer is not that I should go buy a pixel. The answer should be that it's my device and I should have to go buy a different one just to do what I want with what I paid for already. Be sides, these are the same companies that talk so much about protecting the environment. How much more environmentally friendly could you beto allowoem unlock so that phones that could still be used past the time the company stop doing updates don't end up as e-waste? Simply it's about the money. Samsung, among others, are notorious for sending updates to hinder devices to for you to upgrade. I don't see this any differently as they can say it's "for your good" Tmo is not going to say too much about it as it would mean they would keep making money on you having to upgrade.61Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Since we pay off devices we should be able to unlock the bootloader.
I've seen a lot of the ATT version and the non carrier version. However, I shouldn't have to go in around about way of doing it as well.

I know that Tmo unlocks our phones from the network when they are paid off, but we should also be able to unlock the bootloader. I just paid off my Galaxy S22 Ultra which has a lot of life left. Even after you pay off the phone, the setting that would normally allow you to unlock the bootloader "OEM Unlock" still doesn't show up. With this said, the firmware/roms for carrier locked phones is done by the carriers and not Samsung directly. So its the choice the carrier to allow us to be able to have full control of our phones. With all of that said, will Tmo change this? Will Tmo go ahead and give a link to a special firmware/rom that will allow the owner to unlock their bootloader? This will make a decision for me if I continue purchasing phones through the carrier.Solved1.3KViews0likes8Comentarios
