When I saw this thread I went and checked my inbox to see if I had received an email telling me I was caught by this breach. I haven't, but what I do have are like five emails from my carrier in the last two weeks desperately trying to get me to upgrade to the latest Samsung phone.
I have a Samsung from three years ago. I don't want to upgrade or replace it until it actually breaks, as constantly upgrading phones strikes me as wasteful. However, when I see this shit as well as all the Samsung apps they don't let you delete or disable from your phone, I am very tempted to just splash out on a Pixel to install GrapheneOS.
- SapporoChris 4y agoMany of the Samsung devices can be rooted. Example: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/samsung-galaxy-s8-root-snapdragon-sampwnd.3659305/ https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/samsung-galaxy-s8-root-sn... The forum itself is a good place to start looking.
- gzer0 4y agoI've had the opposite experience. S8, S9 Plus, S22+, all of them for some reason cannot unlock the bootloader. At this point I would recommend a Pixel of any variety. It's much much simpler to root and get GrapheneOS installed. Save yourself the headache (and the data leaks).
