Will oem unlocking (bootloader unlock) and flashing of custom roms ever be an actual possibility or is Samsung Canada's sway over qualcomm just not strong enough to allow us developers and samsung enthusiasts any happiness.

Nope - Unless Samsung unlocks the Bootloader.

DO NOT try any of the "one click" root garbage - It Will NOT work & Could just end up compromising the security of your device & infect it with MALWARE! 🐧

If you don't believe me - Check out the Threads on xda - Most of which have been locked by Mods at the Developer's request.

oh no worries friend i definately do NOT have a hard time believing what you just said. the idea of one click rooting a phone with a complex and secure LOCKED bootloader like the one found in my s9 seems rather absurd if you take a minute to think about it.

Well even people who DON'T have a Locked Bootloader & devices that are easily Rooted with the proper method - Still try using the "one click" c*r*a*p and end up with a mess! 🙂🕊

these are the exact kind of people that shouldnt have access to such a powerful tool without understanding its true capabilities, theree are no shortcuts... a wise man once said "You don't learn to hack, you hack to learn."

And there's "measure twice & cut once" 😉 🐧
