Hi,
I am intending to install TWRP on my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 with the aim of installing a custom ROM but am not seeing the 'OEM Unlock' option under 'Developer Options'
I have looked at the below guides for resolving this issue but neither appear to be suitable for the S4.

Does anybody know how to resolve this?
Thanks

As in title, I have the SM-G950F Optus model and tried to root using TWRP and Magisk. Worked fine but had the "Unauthorised actions detected" message. After a reboot, I got the "Official firmwares only" message and couldn't get past the Samsung splash screen. Used the instructions from an xda thread I can't link (new poster) titled: "OFFICIAL STOCK Firmware-update (Odin) thread Samsung GALAXY S8 SM-G950F", but it would fail every time. Eventually I tried only placing the AP section, that worked and I could get into my phone.
The issue now is that the phone believes it is rooted, so I can't use Google Pay, Netflix etc. It also can only access about 9 GB of 64, kinda frustrating.
So I'm just looking for a way to get back to square one, reset completely and forget I even tried.

Hello,
I have a Samsung S7 with official Android. Oreo rom. I turned on by mistake a restriction to install applications from one specifica developer. A pop up appeared and I clicked on and I accepted the restriction instead of reject it. The question is that I'm not able to undo this action. Any help is welcome. I have searched in google and forums but i cannot find a solution yet. Thanks in advance

Hi. I own a Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) (SM-A910F/DS) with Android 8.0 (August security patch). It is now out of warranty. I want to root it. I do have prior experience in rooting my secondary Android phone but this phone is my daily driver and hence want some doubts cleared before attempting to root it using Odin. Following are the questions I need answers for:-
I am just going to root my phone to do some small scale customisation. I don't want to flash a custom or stock ROM. Some sources on the internet say that simply rooting the phone won't trip its KNOX flag while others say it will. What is the truth?
If indeed the KNOX flag gets tripped, will I ever be able to use Samsung Pay on my phone again?
If the KNOX flag doesn't trip, will Samsung Pay work on a rooted phone?
The firmware.mobi site hasn't yet updated the SM-A910F's firmware version to that of Android 8.0. My phone had received the Oreo update on 18th October, 2018. Can I still root my phone using whatever latest CF-Auto-Root package I get from there?
How to know if my phone is encrypted? I am confused about this because I haven't manually enabled any kind of encryption on my phone but since there is so much caution regarding rooting an encrypted phone, I don't want to take any chance.
So, these are the 5 questions which I want satisfactory answers for before I root my phone. A good explanation which will ward off my anxiety will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have now posted this thread there as well. The lack of A9 in the list of devices had discouraged me from posting there.

Thanks. But these threads are quite confusing and less appealing to trust.

I understand your frustration but, please remember that developments for devices sometimes take a while before any developments begin to emerge. This is especially true for many Samsung devices too.
Also, the more members who request for a device the better. I can only encourage you to also request for the A9 Series device within the thread from the link that I had provided you with (the last one on my previous post).
Good Luck!

Yes, rooting your phone with CF / TWRP will trip Knox and disable Samsung Pay. Google Pay however will work on a device that has been returned to stock, but not one that has active root. Since it's looking for root as opposed to a Knox bit, this can probably be masked pretty easily if you wanted to use it on a rooted device.
Looking on firmware.mobi, I see 3 releases already for CF on Android 8.0 for your phone.
And your phone most definitely is encrypted. Any Samsung with Android 7.0 from the factory is encrypted. The exception is devices that were running Android 6 or lower that have been upgraded to 7+ and weren't encrypted by the user beforehand.
Hello community, I'm new and I solicit your help. I have a Galaxy S2 GTI9100, Gingerbread. The search for updates tells me that there is more updated available and I want to know how to get up to a version of Android other than the 2.3.6 I have now. I remind you I'm beginner in this area
