Given the recent news with the S21, I want to go ahead and purchase an S10 for my significant other. I read in another thread that S10s from China have both snapdragon and can be rooted and I wasnt sure if there were other models similar in this regard? Also what is the model for the Chinese variant?
ALL S10 phone variants can be rooted. The China model is G975O or G975F I think though.
all the models are BOOTLOADER unlock able as well . the guy charges for the service but ive been here since day 1 (Galaxy phone) and I can attest 100% that he's legit. For more info seek this link:

I want to pick up a Galaxy Tab S2 8.0. I think they came in about 6 different models in the US. Which models are rootable and can have the bootloader unlocked? I don't want to screw up and get the wrong one! Do you guys recommend any specific model? It seems like the 2016 models are better than the earlier ones...
Thanks in advance,
Tom
I have the 713 which is the 2016 version. After waiting 7+ months for a security update, I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and installed LineageOS 15.1. It works great and the Google security updates are up to date. Instructions are widely available on the web.
Hi I'm looking into getting a used samsung s10 for rooting purposes and I've found an exynos sm-g973f/ds. Is this variant the same as sm-g973f?
Bumping this thread for the time-being as I am in the exact same situation.
I'll look through LineageOS roms supported model list to see if I can find the answer (if they support it.. aka there has to be a root for it).
I believe that there has to be a root for it since it's Exynos-based.. but looking for some advice just to make sure!
Cheers!

Yes but ds stands for Dual sim.
even the snapdragon is root able... and full bootloader unlock too., The guy charges but I can attest full 100% its legit, and he doesn't need access to your phone. you give him a code from your phone and in a couple hrs he brings you a .tar file with your specific device unlock key in it. flash that and follow some instructions and you have a real Bootloader unlocked S10 snapdragon. read here:

It looks like TWRP will soon be ready for release for the Galaxy A71 Snapdragon chipset. I'm not sure yet what all models it will cover but I have it on my A71 5G SM-A716U and it is working great thanks to afaneh92 who has developed a lot of TWRP versions. This of course needs to have the bootloader unlocked to root and install. More info here:

Is there anything that I can do to help with the development of the twrp for the A71SM-716U
That would be a question to ask afaneh92 although I think he has it handled but he may ask for you to test it as I don't believe he owns this model. You may want to PM him here or get Telegram and get his link for Telegram in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...unlock-for-samsung-us-canada-devices.4215101/
Also just saw a note from him on Telegram that he is putting final touches on it so I expect in the next day or so he will post it in a new thread on XDA - I assume it will be in the A71 sub-forum on Recoveries.

There is no list, your device may be capable of unlock depending on which UI Version you have.

If i bought Samsung S21 Ultra G998u from amazon USA
can I root it ?
Only on v1 bootloader. It’s going to be difficult finding the bootloader version before you buy.
