No "OEM UNLOCKING" option :( - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I purchased my Samsung A8+ Saudi Arabia version running Nougat 7.1.1 and I also updated it to some new patch worth of 300MB April Update. I wanna root my phone but I cant see the OEM UNLOCKING option in my phone. Am I missing something there or doing something wrong ????

I don't think that they have started really pushing out Marshmallow yet, but there are some leaked builds floating around. Check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3249803 Someone can probably help you in that thread. I have Verizon so I'm unable to flash any of those builds, so I don't know much about the process. I do believe you have to have root though (may be wrong).
It also depends on what version of the G4 that you have. What carrier are you on?

Download LG bridge and install it. Plug in the phone and click on software update. I'm in UK with h815 also and there was an update for marshmallow in there, although for various reasons I downgraded again to lollipop. When I checked again to see if the update was there, it wasn't. So do keep checking. Hope it helps
Im in UK as well. Is your G4 factory Unlocked or on a carrier. So far as I know, of the carriers only Vodaphone UK have started rolling MM out... but the likes of EE, 3, O2.. Virgin.. will probably come after xmas now. Im on EE myself and i dont hold any hope seeing MM till early January.
Goto "Settings" > "General" tab > "About Phone" > "Software Info."... if the software version is: v10J-EUR-XX, then its factory unlocked and you could get MM any time now.
Hope that helps
you will need to wait until it comes to your door step.

Any way to unlock bootloader for H815 (TWN)

Hey guys,
when trying to unlock the bootloader the official way, I get the error message
"Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader."
LG support has not responded yet, but the message indicates what their answer will be.
Is there any way to get the bootloader unlocked other than having LG send the unlock code?
I found several threads all over the internet with people describing the same problem, but no solution was posted. Since all those threads are from mid-2015, I was wondering if anyone found a solution by now.
If you find a solution , please let me know .

( "Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader." )
its clear enough to me... you cant.
and theres no other way.. yet... maybe one day it will.. unofficially.
I asked this a month ago with no luck.
There hasn't been any real progress on having an unofficial bootloader unlock since august/september of 2015.....
It's almost a year since anyone has really talked about it. I don't think it's ever gonna happen :/

I asked the LG developer support. All they replied so far was that by company policy, they do not allow models other than "European market" to be unlocked at the moment.
I answered that I am not satisfied with this "policy" and that I'd like a reason for them to block customers from their freedom of choice what to do with their devices. No answer yet - will post here when I get one.

Is there any way to at least gain root access on these phones? Mine is running software version "V20c-TWN-XX", which is Android 6.0 with security patch level 2016-01-01.

LP yes. but i seen 2 different post claiming root on MM with locked bootloader.
It's easiest to just downgrade to Lollipop via LGUP. Though it still took me a while to find the right pre-rooted image to flash on my phone.
I just completed the process of using LGUP to rollback to Lollipop v10c, and then rooted it. Surprisingly I was even able to get Xposed framework installed with the bootloader locked. I guess the only thing I'm really missing is TWRP, but I can live without it.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

not so sure ... but LG has removed the team the worked on past phones and eithe has a new team or will be not making any more phones. .... g5 sales arent too good...
I've the H815 V20d-TWN-XX 6.0 MM with sec. patch level 2016-06-01, and as I've read, no way to unlock bootloader for this model, so frustrating.
I was hoping at least to find a way to have this particular G4 version rooted with the bootloader locked, does anyone know how can this be done?
Been looking for a solution but haven't found anything so far, I'd just flash a previous version but some people wrote in other threads that this 20d has noticeable battery improvements...
So any help with, as for now, the best way to go to get root access in this device, is very much appreciated. I've been trying to do this for weeks
Thanks!
I am assuming with the boot loader locked, there is no way to try out any of the custom ROMs here ....what a shame as I wanted to give lineage a go

There may be an unofficial way.
If you are interested, head over to [BL UNLOCK][LS991|H81x|VS986|any nonFused] *Unlock your bootloader PoC* (WIP!!) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...proof-t3648288
Read the OP carefully and be fully aware of the risks and limitations. steadfasterX is working hard to overcome the locked bootloader situation and has had some success to-date using his own version of Lineage with testers.

Not at the moment no, honestly probably not for a bit. Everybody's at the idea stage right now basically this may work but then again it might not but if it does then there's other obstacles in the way

No I'm aware the model numbers don't match up trust me if you search around the forums there's a thread that has this exact thing. Some guy thought that there was an official unlock for the T-Mobile variant but it turned out to be TIM mobile

People have tried it doesn't work, T-Mobile has different RSA Encryption Keys and fastboot is non existent. Everybody is trying to figure out a way to flash the European Rom to unlock the bootloader root and go back you just have to read around the forums

Your device (LMG710TMP) does not support unlocking the bootloader. Please check your model.
I tried and I recognized the correct model

Phone does not receive updates (Global Version)

Hi guys, I have the Mi A2 Lite from the end of December last year and the phone is blocked at the update of December 5, 2018, I contacted Xiaomi assistance 3 times from February to today because their answers were always "we withdrew the update for problems "or similar, in the end I discovered through IMEI1 and IMEI2 that my phone was initially intended for the papua new guinea, and according to Xiaomi I can't update the phone in any way. At this point the question is obvious to me "so if one makes a trip abroad and buys a Xiaomi when he returns home he remains screwed ?!"
Do you know how I can update my phone? I tried expressvpn but it didn't work.
Thank you in advance for your help guys, I hope that anyone of you have the solution. I bought this phone for my father too, it's his first smartphone and I wouldn't want to feel guilty about making a wrong purchase.

Hello DominikMorelli,
Good Day !
1st You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader (Off-Course Unlocking Boot-Loader Will Void Warranty) Then Download Latest Stock From MIUI Forum And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool.
Greetings !
Thanks,

MiFlash: https://en.miui.com/thread-345974-1-1.html
AFAIK unlocking the bootloader doesn't void warranty on AndroidOne devices, of course after you relock the bootloader. Because there is no way of knowing that it has been unlocked/flashed etc.

Yes You Are Absolutely Right. Bootloader Should Be Locked After Flashing The ROM Or In Flashing Time.
thank you guys
One last question, with this operation I will lose the data on the phone? if so I make a backup.
