 Now, you'd have a easier time breaking into Fort Knox than getting past the Samsung bootloader.

 Historically they always had exploits found eventually allowing people to bypass and root. Is that no longer the case? I haven't paid attention to this space in a very long while.

 I use a S22 Ultra, and a Note 10+ and I haven't found any methods of unlocking the bootloader. There was someone on XDA who was running a service to unlock the Note 10, but he shut that down and there doesn't appear to be any other reliable self-service method available. And I haven't seen anything compatible with the S22.

 Yeah they used to have decent exploits but they've done a good job over the years of lockign things up around the time they started intoducing Knox

 Hell, I remember when Samsung had a website where you put your serial number in and it gave you a code that would unlock the bootloader. They're not doing that anymore!
