I'm trying to unlock the stupid bootloader (thanks verizon) and have discovered how to OEM Unlock the phone...I'm just stumped as to what I should do next as far as a total bootloader unlock? Any ideas gents?
how do you even OEM unlock? I have an s6 edge with 5.1.1 and I do not even have that under developer options
I have attached a screenshot of a file, now I'm new to all of this and I am sure there's more to it than just changing OEM unlock to true... Any ideas?
Are you sure this is a S5 G900A Phone. Where is your source for this info? Because as far as I know the OEM unlock is usually accessed though the dev options. And this particular option is not available in the Galaxy S5 for AT&T. It least not mine currently running LP OI5.
It can't be the AT&T variant, the bootloader is locked with no unlock method. The oem unlock option is in developer options but not for the g900a.
So I forgot to specify this is for the G870A. But I was just browsing around in ES File Explorer and came across the file..... Here's the path
/data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml

I purchased an [unlocked for GSM] A71 international model [SM-A715F] from Amazon. In instructions to root from "BK"s post I should go to developer settings "enable OEM unlocking" but the option is in the off position and greyed out so I can't do anything. Since it's sold as "unlocked" does that mean there's no bootloader to unlock? Can I root with phone as is? I'm a newbie and something doesn't add up.
I need to root this phone safely.
Any help is appreciated. Please Please:fingers-crossed:
Thank you

Hello,
I recently got a new S21 Ultra and I was trying to unlock the bootloader & flash stuff.
I haven't rooted phones for a few years, so I am unsure how much has changed. As far as I know, EU Exynos models have unlockable bootloaders, don't they? My S8 did back then.
As I noticed the OEM Unlock option Is missing from the dev. settings. Fastboot can't seem to detect the device either. If I go to DL mode, I see a line OEM Lock: on(L).
My build number is: G998BXXS6EWBB
One UI: 5.1
Is my BL completely locked or is there any hope that it can be unlocked?
