I’m going to repurpose my S21 since I just got a new phone that could be rooted and have the boot loader unlocked. However, I’ve told that the U.S variant of the S21 (Snapdragon 888) can’t be rooted and have the boot loader unlocked. Is this true and I’m simply chasing a pipedream? Or can it actually be done?

Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable...
