Please help me, my Samsung s10e (G970U1) wants to unlock the bootloader. In the "Developer" option, I did not select the "Unlock OEM" option
Yeah, well, I too have a G970U1 running Android 10 and I want to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and root it. Well, unlocking the bootloader seems to be impossible. "OEM Unlocking" doesn't appear in Developer Options. I've been through all of the published time-shift tricks to get the OS to think that more than 7 days have passed since the machine went live. And, I've let it just wait for more than 7 days a couple of times. No joy. No OEM Unlocking nohow. No other way I've found yet to get the bootloader unlocked.
Any help? Please?
and Thanks!

Hey guys and gals, I enabled developer mode and noticed that this device has the OEM unlock option not sure if that is similar to the nexus 6 as far as unlocking the bootloader to root but pretty sure it may be..fingers crossed and I wouldn't take any rom updates until we know further about root.
Yeah notice the same thing on my phone. I enable but not sure what it does yet.

The OEM Unlock does not unlock the bootloader, it only "allows" the bootloader to be unlocked.
If you don't allow the bootloader to be unlocked then you can't flash roms, kernels and you can't
root the phone.
This is why the verizon and at&t Note 5 and S6 Edge+ phones cannot be rooted and they cannot
have custom roms and kernels. They lack the the option of OEM Unlock because they have locked
bootloaders which is unlike our phones. The bootloader in our phones are not locked.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
My Verizon Edge+ has OEM Unlock on it, but I have no idea what it does. I'm searching the internet to see if anyone knows.

The important thing is to always leave the OEM Unlock enabled.
But as I said before, doing that will NOT unlock the bootloader.
It only allows for unlocking the bootloader if the bootloader is
unlock-able. (which is not the case with Verizon's bootloader)
Good luck,
Have a great evening!
Hi, recently I switched from Nexus 5 to Lenovo P2 but the phone I got has bloatware from T-Mobile and they don't seem to hurry with releasing Nougat to my phone
I noticed that in dev setting there's an option to OEM unlock the device, does it unlock the bootloader or just permits me to unlock it manually?
If so, after unlocking all I'll need to do will be just to flash TWRP and that's it?

This option only allows you to unlock it, it doesn't actually unlocks the bootloader
I asked a bootloader unlocking from my device. If after the 14 days period I don't unlock it with fastboot, do you think my warranty is still valid ?
I am thinking oft buying this Phone but rooting is very important to me. What I have found out so far is that you have to unlock your bootloader to install TWRP. Your warranty will officially be void.
Now my question: has sb send his phone to repair in Germany? Does Lenovo really check their database for your phone? And what about this 14 days wait?
Thanks in advance
After 7 days of not turning off the device there is no OEM Unlock option running SD S9 Sprint. As I type, update time: 170:26. Any clues on why the option has not appeared mahalos
edit: so I've did some research and no oem unlock option for snapdragons is because their being locked down sad to say.
Cuz us is locked u can wait Months it still will not show up
I've got an HTC 10 with Verizon. I'm trying to follow the guides, but they all want me to enable the OEM Unlock option in the developer settings. I can't do this because the option is simply not there. Can't find any guides with my same problem. Closest I've found was some guy also didn't have the option showing, but he somehow had the s-off, which from what I've found you can't do unless you've unlocked the bootloader by enabling the OEM Unlock. WTF have I done wrong? Is this even possible with my phone? I just wanted to get rid of the pop-up ads.
Thanks for listening

Verizon disables the OEM Unlock option, and so you cannot unlock the bootloader in the same way as for the other variants. Your only option is to pay for S-Off, which will require you to mail in your device to the Sunshine team if you're on Nougat/Oreo software.
So lately, I tried to unlock bootloader of my Samsung Galaxy M30 with One UI Core 2.0. As I had read in many guides that after successful unlock, the option of unlocking OEM will be grayed out. But when I enabled it, it asked for my device PIN, then Samsung account password and switched off automatically. After factory reset, it booted up but the OEM unlock option was still blue and togglable. It read Bootloader already unlocked!
I'm confused because there was no 'device lock' mode in download mode, no need to 'long press power up to unlock Bootloader in download mode' or 'no gray toggles'.
On Download Mode I could see "OEM lock: OFF" . Does it mean that my Bootloader is unlock.
