Samsung A02s(SM-A025F)
I do these steps any body help
1.I unlock oem through developer option
2.I unlock bootloader successfully
3.I downloaded firmware and patch AP with magisk to root
4.I flash Patched AP
5.After getting my phone rooted successfully I want to install TWRP Recovery
6.I downloaded unofficial version of TWRP from xdaforums....
7.I followed the steps guided here
The steps are as follows
1.reboot to boot loader and flash vbmeta_disable.tar
2.Put TWRP tar in AP and flash
3.Reboot to recovery
4.Disable encryption
Go to Advanced >Terminal : type "multidisabler"
5.Go back to wipe>Format Data>type "yes"
6.Reboot system
This is my first experience to root and flash TWRP.... but after that when I reboot my phone got lock .... only official binaries allowed to be installed....and stuck there
I got frightened so I locked my bootloader
But nothing happens...
I downloaded stock firmware and flash.....now my phone works perfectly But I want to root my phone I searched and found a correct way to root but now oem unlock option is not found in developer options....
I watched hundreds of videos on yt and searched a lot on Google but
found no proper solution.....someone tell me to wait 7 days....
In about phone> phone status>uptime
Uptime should be equal to 7days... then oem unlock option will appear but ...... I want another solution date change and WiFi connect is not solution ... If any body knows any other solution please guide me ... I'll be very thankful.....
@ladlabaloch512
Perhaps your device has the same "OEM unlock" block like mine.
On mine I was supposed to wait 7d after turning on dev options.
I bypassed that by
1. switching to airplane mode
2. Setting manually date back one month
3. Restart (still in airplane mode)
4. Turning off airplane mode and let it sync date
and voila OEM unlock option was there.
Perhaps that works on your device as well.

Keep us updated.. I'd like to get my OEM unlock to come out of hiding.. this is frustrsting.. i see all these tutorials for the A02s root, twrp and ROMs and whatnot and I'm itching to get flashing!
Is it possible to flash an unlocked carrier firmware in ODIN and then be able to unlock OEM? Without carrier issues or anything? I'm a little nervous to be the first to try.. and not sure where to find US unlocked carrier firmware or if location even matters... I have the SM-A025AZ (US Cricket variant).. I guess as long as Download Mode (fastboot) is still accessible I could just flash the Cricket version back to the device.. bricked my LG-E980 back in the day.. took me a few months how to get it back up and running with LG flash tool.. i just dont want to repeat that fiasco lol... so anybody got any updates on hacking this OEM (un)lock bs??? Or any idea on flashing some other variant to the device without interrupting carrier stuff??.. seems like alot just to get a damn virtual switch to turn on.. but damnit I need root access! Lol.. about to just exchange this phone for an actual rootable phone.. i disagree with charging for hotspot.. that should be illegal.. getting charged twice to use th same bs internet.. eff that.. i just want Rooooooot!!!
Hello,
I have also been having these troubles, with no way to unlock oem after stock flash, and the closest I've got to finding a solution was this, but I simply cannot find samsung's bootloader unlocking form like it says in the guide. I bought my phone just for a bootloader unlockable version (A025M), and now I am very angry at samsung.
also, since over a 1000 hours have gone by since last post, have any one of you solved this issue just by waiting?

its not only samsung that does this, many other companies like motorola does this. Dont be angry, just try a different device. Also, snapdragon US models (i dont think) arent able to be unlocked. If its a mediatek model and isnt sim/carrier locked, u can try MTKClient

That fastboot oem unlock-go command won't work.
OK, follow these steps:-
a) Reboot to Fastboot mode by pressing Power and Vol down buttons for 10 seconds.
b) Download the MiUnlock tool and enter your credentials first. It will check whether your Mi account has permission to unlock (you must have permission from Xiaomi to unlock).
c) It will detect your phone as Mi Phone and proceed to unlock.
d) It will verify whether the Mi account in your phone and the credentials of the Mi account you entered on the PC are the same.
e) It will unlock your device for sure!
If it says some sort of verification error aka. the famous stuck at 50%, wait for some days like for a week and try again, it may work even in 2 days! Keep trying!
Good Luck!:good::highfive:
Thank you!

Thanks for the help but I don't even want to try that method first it's very problematic, it takes a lot of time and it's not even sure if it works. So if you can help me with the problem I'm having that would very very very appreciable :good:.
And why the command will not work, can you please tell me? Also this command gives the same error "fastboot OEM unlock bootloader". Hope you can help .

It's not that problematic, actually it is the easiest way to unlock bootloader!
Unofficial bootloader is the very "problematic" method.
Anyhow, Are you looking for unofficial bootloader unlock? Then go here and follow the steps correctly, dont skip any step.
And for your second question, Xiaomi has complicated the bootloader unlock process by heavy encryption. That's why you couldn't unlock Redmi Note 3 as any Moto device!

OK that's why I'm having so much problem to unlock it. I just want to ask do you know any other way to fix the problem I'm having with this error. Cause the post you gave me tells how to unlock the RN3 temporary :crying: but the thread I followed helps to unlock it permanently :good: (how I know cause I used similar commands on my Canvas A1) and I followed almost every step properly.
I don't understand why companies emerged as custom ROMs stops supporting customisation, at least don't make it hard. I just wanted to flash my RN3 with a Custom ROM like CM13 cause MIUI is not supporting 4G networks properly of multiple operators that's why, for which I needed a custom recovery and for which I needed unlocked bootloader.
I just don't understand , all this so that no one could copy their ROM or I don't know for what . It's just makes things difficult for normal people and no one else. Locks can't keep a thief away. If anyone wants to break into their system than one will, if he/she uses right tools properly. Why make normal people lives' difficult?
ALSO I WANT TO ASK MORE THING, if in first case, I get into fastboot mode just after the ROM flash & before very first ROM boot and run this command and if in second case, the room gets booted and then I go into fastboot mode & run the command, DOES IT CREATES ANY CHANCE OF NON-OCCURRENCE OF THAT ERROR IN FIRST CASE?.

The thread I gave you was not temporary, it is permanent and it is temporary till you get the official unlock permission. Actually it's a permanent 'safe' solution.
Xiaomi did it for security of data, not to stop customising. If it had to stop users from customising, xiaomi wouldn't have given you warranty even if you root or it may not even have given you an option to unlock bootloader!

I got this error too but i forgot how to fix it.
Something about the 'disable driver signature' or the modified rom that you flash before you trying to unlock.

By your name, I think you are an Indian, so which Sim you are using? You need to do a 4G pack recharge first to use LTE, VoLTE won't work in custom ROMs right now.

I appreciate your help but the post you gave me is for non-asian countries so it will not work for me. As you already know I'm an Indian so that's why. Are you an Indian, only asking cause in that way you may already faced the problems i'm having.
I'm only familiar with only 2 4G networks for now. One is Airtel 4G, what they say have FDD LTE network, I don't what that is, but that's why it's not working on my phone, I contacted them and they said that my phone doesn't support it, I don't know why cause it support much more LTE Bands other than any smartphone in that price range. Second is Jio 4G, my sim gets detected, shows network in manual selection but doesn't get registered on them. I see only the message of 'No Service' or 'Emergency calls only' when I insert it.

Hello XDA, I've been wanting to root my S6 for a while now, and i think you can do it with adb. So when trying this i noticed i needed an unlocked bootloader, and i thought i had it because i had CRom service on my S6, but never opened it. When i did, it just crashed. Now, i'm not sure if I can just use
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
or i need something else. I'm on Mac so i am very, very limited. I at least can get adb to work. If i can use adb and or fastboot to unlock my device's bootloader (without messing DM Verity) then please tell me right away.

What variant s6 do you have?
Go to Settings - About Device - Build number. Tap on that repeatedly until you see that Developer Options has been enabled.
Go back to Settings. You will now see a new entry called Developer options. Tap on that.
Under Developer options you will see OEM Unlock. Switch that to On.
And you are done! Just that easy!

It's not that easy, the option is called "Allow OEM unlocking" which I already have turned on. All that option does is allow the bootloader to be unlocked.

What version android are you on, btw the user previous is correct, once you use OEM unlock all you need to do is flash cf-autoroot, OEM unlock make sure that after rooting the phone does not trip frp and just lock you out of your device.

Ok, I'm on 6.0.1 (Y is Samsung so slow when releasing updates) and a quick reminder: I'm on Mac, how am I supposed to flash CF-autoroot?
And I got confused by "make sure after rooting​the phone does not trip frp and just lock out of your device" Do you mean to be careful not to brick my device?

FRP is factory reset protection, if you don't allow OEM unlock when after you have carried out root and try to log into phone again you won't be able to do so, it's a security feature, frp is very tricky and it's important you make sure you have OEM unlock enabled before trying to do anything. You can use a software called heimdall which is similar to Odin and can be downloaded for mac. Yeah samsung always rolls out updates for international before anything else, just how they work. Before doing anything I highly advise you to visit the g920t forums, you will get more info there than you will here on the international forum. I hope you manage to get things done

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't know why I expect people to be grateful on XDA, just because someone tries to help them.
Using a Mac, you flash files using Heimdall: http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
Ok so I think I'm good to go:
I attached some screenshots checking if everything is correct. Also, is http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/ the correct and official site to get Heimdall? And my device's build is G920TUES5DQD1 which was released a few days ago, and I'm not sure if the CF auto root file was based on an earlier update. Will I still be able to use it?
is g920v bootloader unlockable?
is it possible to downgrade thanks to this oem unlock?

As far as I know, and what has been the fact since the release of the 920V, there's has been no known case where the bootloader has been unlocked. Due to Verizon's restrictions, the S6 is hardlocked. The only way that it might ever be unlocked is if someone reverse engineers the bootloader software, creating an unlocked version that can be flashed, and that will still pass the phone's security checks. I wouldn't hold your breath for it though, because it's been 3 years and no solution yet.
i had same issues
i have been trying to unlock my s6 smg 9208 everything that i tried failed need really your help i can't use my keyboard and mouse ????
Most Samsung phones are unlocked, Only a small percentage of Samsung phones has locked bootloaders. Just pop a different carrier SIM and make sure it works, If different sims work then your device has an unlocked bootloader.

That is incorrect, what you are referring to is carrier locked. and is done to most phones sold in the US. Most can be unlocked once fully paid for and after 90 days of service.
Bootloader lock has nothing to do with sim cards at ALL!! It does have everything to do with being able to install other roms and firmware via non official sources.

To boot into recovery on zte overture 3 isnt that hard, just hold down the power button while it is booting up. The screen will go black and it will look like its rebooting again, but instead of booting into the normal operating system, it boots i to recovery mode. Yes this is for the cricket version (just make sure you go into developer tools and allow the OEM bootloader to be unlocked)
so is this confirmed rootable?
unlock Cricket Overture 3 bootloader
download G-droid (is apk store) download Secret codes. tap on 759 (google partner setup) OEM on/off is there. Set to on and it's now in your developer options. Works on Z851M 7.1.1 just figured it out tonight.. I will root it... someone else could probably do it faster..

I am having trouble when I first open the QFIL, the port is not showing up, I dont know what to do.
Im using the ZTE sonata 3 for this if that helps
I have an unlocked SM-G965F/DS (Exynos) that has not shown the OEM unlock option yet. Tried:
Installing active SIM
Logging in to Google and Samsung accounts, then
Leaving the phone online for 170 hours (uptime reached ~175 hours)
I see a few other threads on the SM-G965F/DS, also indicating no OEM unlock appeared. Has anyone actually gotten the SM-G965F/DS to show an OEM unlock option?
Firmware and hardware versions:
Hardware: SM-G965FZBDXSP
CSC code: XSP
Botloader: G965FXXU1BRE6
CSC: G965FOXM1BRE6
Android Build Number: R16NW.G965FXXU1BRE6
EDIT:
Bootloader shows:
Model: G965F
RMM State: Prenormal
FRP Lock: ON
OEM Lock: ON
Is only the single-SIM 965F unlockable? Is there a recommended dual-SIM model in case I end up just sending this one back?
Appreciate any help you guys can provide!

Great, thank you for the data point. Do you happen to know the CSC and stock firmware version you had installed when the OEM unlock appeared? If I don't see the option after another 7 days I intend to ODIN over a known good CSC / firmware version.

because i have a oneplus 6 i am using. and because i require root. i dont use devices that are not rooted.
Did finally get it working. My device originally came with RMM prenormal, FRP lock off, OEM lock on. Setting up the phone normally and inserting a SIM, then waiting 7 days, did NOT work. I suspect the phone was in an abnormal state due to a partial setup by the prior owner / reseller.
What did the trick for me was to force reset the phone (lose all data) via the settings menu, have a SIM inserted, go through the full setup process (Google and Samsung accounts), then leave the phone on for 7 days. The reset caused RMM prenormal, FRP lock on, OEM lock on. After 168 hours the OEM unlock option appeared in the developer settings menu.
A little guidance here. I've only dealt with Google Nexus devices and the OnePlus One, which were ridiculously easy to unlock and put on a custom ROM. I'm currently running (yes, still) a Nexus 6P because there hasn't been a phone that really interests me. I do like the S9+, and can get a good price on a BNIB SM-G965F/DS. I just want to run AOSP on it, no frills, no thrills, just vanilla. That's how I roll. So, I'll need to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and load up a new ROM.
With that said, all that I've read, I'm a little confused. I use t-mobile, so will I need to put in the t-mobile sim for 7 days to get OEM unlock, or will I need this done in an EU country (it is an EU version) due to the region locking Samsung has been doing since 2013? There just seems to be a lot of competing and incomplete information all over the damned place.
And don't tell me to search, please. I've been around on this forum long enough to know how to search, and long enough to know that search doesn't always yield the results you're looking for. So, if you have a link to a more descriptive explanation of what to do/expect, I'd be grateful.
Thanks.
EDIT: Found this: https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-...y-s9-samsung-galaxy-s8-samsung-galaxy-note-8/
Maybe that would work... but still don't understand if I need it activated on an EU SIM first.. Now I remember why I've avoided Samsung devices...

Oem unlock isnt gonna do anything for the device. Its kind of pointless to do for now.
HELP! OEM Unlock came up after 7 days. I turned it on, and it said that doing so will erase data... yadda yadda, and then it restarted, wiped, and then rebooted. ... No OEM Unlock in the menu anymore and back to RMM STATE: Prenormal.
WTF??

Multiple guides to either TWRP/root or ROM s9+ involve manually restarting the phone BEFORE samsung auto restarts your phone.
In other words, don't let the force restart from samsung go through, and manually restart it the moment you press OK to factory wipe and restart
EDIT: also make sure you have signed out of google before going into DL mode to TWRP phone, as this does the "FRP lock" from what I personally understand and Odin won't let you TWRP with FRP lock on. This was my 2nd mistake (and second 7-day lockout). First mistake was what you did, by letting samsung beat you at restarting phone.

Thanks. I got through it all a while back now. You have to be lightning quick. So dumb. This will most likely be my last Samsung device. There are other options that are much less hassle to do this work on.
Hi!
New here, hope I am in the right place...I have limited tech skills (born pre cell phones and computers) I did manage to install a custom ROM on an old HTC years ago, and thought I could do it again!
I have a Samsung A10e (SM-A102U) locked to sprint.
I can get the developer options but can't get the OEM unlock option. I also can't wait 7 days. Have tried a few things with the date and turning off updates etc, nothing worked. Here is what I am trying to do in order (please correct me if it is the wrong order) Ultimately I want my phone unlocked for use with any sim, and install a custom rom, to remove some bloatware. Could I wipe the phone totally take it to a piece of memory with no ROM and then re-load it, or use ADB to do it? Please excuse my ignorance - if I sound clueless I kinda am!
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Install TWRP
3. Install custom ROM
It has taken me days of searching but to no avail, literally pulling my hair out. Happy to buy a beer for anyone that helps!
Wow,thanks...
Response has been overwhelming...

I have the exact same question.
it will not happen alot of us based carriers will lock down the phone via bootloader our best option is to find combination firmware and hopefully find root that way assuming that method still works.
Same situation here with Verizon. And sorry to tell you but I don't think anything will happen for you after seven days either, at least nothing did for me. I've spent a long time trying to get past this with no success, trying every trick I've found (the changing the date manually trick, factory resetting and trying on WiFi, etc.).
Also, using the app "Settings Database Editor," I've found the config/property where OEM bootloader unlock has been disabled:
"sys.oem_unlock_allowed" "0"
Screenshot here.
I'm hoping maybe we can edit that property via ADB or something. I'm not really holding out any hope here though. :-/
One other random discovery (not really helpful or relevant for our OEM bootloader unlock goal, but something I discovered while trying to obtain unlock): I believe I discovered a firmware error (at least on the Verizon build). When you hold volume up + power together for about 30 seconds, the phone shows the recovery menu for a split second but then instantly/immediately wipes all data and factory resets, without ever allowing the user to choose their own recovery menu selection and without giving any reset confirmation prompt before instantly wiping all user data. It's not supposed to work that way, according to the phone's user manual/Samsung technical support instruction. It's actually really pissed me off because I've triggered this instant reset twice now by accident just by having the phone in my back pocket and sitting down. I go to pick up my phone from my pocket and notice the screen is on and then discover everything was wiped. Very annoying! I called Samsung customer support twice to try to explain that I believe there to be a firmware error present (at least on Verizon models) but they didn't seem to care/their support script told them to have me take the device to some local authorized third-party screen repair place. One good outcome I've discovered from factory resetting the phone is that you can at least avoid enrolling the phone in part of the Knox security crap, the "kme" protection. I originally couldn't use remote apps like TeamViewer or AnyDesk without some stupid "Protected by Knox" notification popping up and then my remote app instantly exiting. Made me so angry. But now I'm able to use those apps without any issue. Though, the phone does try to have me agree to enroll in kme protection or whatever about once a day and I have to manually close the enrollment agreement form that pops up.

I've had the same issue with entire A series. All OEM's are disabled regardless of carrier. It seems to be part of Samsung's firmware. After nothing but dead ends and contacting samsung directly i was left scratching my head. Came here searching for some insights I may have overlooked.
-Enable developer options
-Enable wifi
-Join a network
-Change date to 10 days forward
-Reboot phone
-OEM unlock will be available
Thank me later

the bl is not unlockable
Bump
I know this is possible I've seen it done before. I think it had to do with a modified ota update.

Do you have proof of this being done?
Because as far as I'm aware, it's been impossible to unlock bootloader for years
I actually purchased this phone from Metro last week after searching for it on XDA and seeing that is was BL unlockable. I didn't realize any the time that this was only the international variants. Good luck to all devs whose skillset is better than my own.

Yeah... I I knew better than to just look at a10e and assume they were all the same. I went through the same struggle with a J7 not too long ago... Should have learned my lesson then.

no biggie.. at least those r super cheap.. i got a a50 just to brick it to try an exploit that didnt work lol.. o well
I have an A10e as well but the model number is SM-S102DL, I am a complete novice when it comes t phones but will I be able to root this without unlocking the bootloader?

you cant root without exploits that dknt exist without unlocking the bootloader
No matter about root. but I converted many of Samsung A10e to international variant to remove any boost metropcs or any other networks bloatware application.
you can also do it without any issue. Simply flash A102U1 Firmware. I m not sure that it will work on Network Locked/Sim locked devices. I flash and convert it after using a remote unlocking service which already changed the CSC version of EFS to XAA from the BST csc...
XAA is for US Unlocked Without carrier locked phones and BST for Boost mobile carrier only which came with lots of boost bloatwares but maybe that A10e boost remote unlock service saved me.
check the screenshot attached.
