I though the bootloaders on all Samsung devices are locked straight out of the box.

Hey all,
As the title says, i own a Note 8 Exynos Model N950F and there is no OEM Unlock in Developers option. Can anyone confirm the same? Exynos Model Only.
Regards
**Mod edit** - some info on how to get OEM Unlock in dev settings here thanks to @dr.ketan
Hi.
I have this option on my exynos note 8 duos.
I'm on the software version N950FXXU1AQHB (Basebandversion) (DBT).

By duos, do you mean the dual sim model? What is your model number?
Yes, i mean the dual sim Note 8 (Duos).
The Model in Phoneinfo is SM-N950F (not FD).
I don't know which modelnummer is used internal (F/FD).
But in the Software Version it's only the F (without D) too.
If you need/like any screenshot, let me know.

Interesting, thanks for the info. That's very strange. The OP also has the 950F but reports he doesn't have it. It looks like your language is German so I wonder if it's a difference between European models and the Korean models. Thanks again.
The Korean model SM-N950N definitely has it... I have it enabled.

Any guesses why the OP's 950F doesn't have it? Another person reported his 950FD doesn't have it either.

Not sure why that would be removed from the European models. Very strange indeed.
I don't know whats going on too.

Yeah what's really strange and confusing is one persons 950f has it while another's doesn't. I just don't get it. Have you had any updates pushed to your device or anything? Have you checked your software version against the one reported by Maverickluke above showing N950FXXU1AQHB?

Directly from Samsung, also Samsung Online Shop
Have also the Note 8 from Samsung. Here as well OEM visible.
Only difference is that it says Allow the device to be unlocked instead of bootloader already unlocked
I have got call from dealer that demo piece available with him and I have read this thread in morning so little worried, visited store and confirmed that
Indian version N950F/DS (dual SIM) 64GB have this option.
Here attached SS
Also somewhere read there is no download mode with regular combo. To add, Vol down + Biby + power will reboot to download mode and same way Vol up + Bixby + Power to recovery
So only UK 950F doesn't have it? I ordered mine internationallly just to get exynos version in order to root it and I believe it's the UK version I'll be getting. Now I'm worried and wondering if I should cancel my order.

Where did you read that? The 950F is the Global model not just UK.
The only ones that are not Exynos are the US models N950U which have locked bootloaders
Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I am looking to buy the N950FD singapore version of Note 8. Can anyone tell me if all devices of this variant is bootloader unlockable? I did see the twrp for FD and I also did several researches, some say there is no OEM unlock option for this model until 7 days later it will show after activation? There is a method to skip that and retrieve OEM unlock option straight away.
I just want to confirm this, not willing to buy the Snapdragon version because of lacking custom rom support and ability to unlock bootloader...
Thank you for your time.

I don't have the Singapore version, but I do have the N950FD from Dubai which is bootloader unlocked. To my knowledge all other Exynos variants of the Note 8 are also bootloader unlocked. Yes there is a 7 day wait period to toggle OEM Unlock on some Exynos phones, but there is also a workaround for that posted as a sticky. Hope this helps.

No problem. You can read through the oem unlock thread too for more info on the 7 day timer... I think there were specific posts about the singapore model, but probably from before the workaround and fix were discovered.
Recently bought one with a dual sim, it is international unlocked but has the Snapdragon 845, from what I heard only exynos has a unlocked bootloader? Aloha !
That is correct from what I understand as well, I wouldn't try it and wait for someone to develop a root hack workaround
I was under the impression that the HK 9600 snapdragon was bootloader unlocked.

What region fw is on your phone? We probably will need China, or Hong Kong fw flashed, then crom will work. Then any n9600 fw can be flashed, and bl will still be unlocked. Unfortunately my n9600 still isn't here.
Edit, I forgot, after you enable developer options, you have to wait 7days for oem unlock to appear.
Or try the attached image way. Ugh, wish I had my phone.

China fw. Flash it in Odin, use crom to unlock bl, then flash whatever fw you please as long as it's for n9600.

Do you know whether it is Exynos or Snapdragon? If you're in the United States, it's probably Snapdragon.
Check Developer Options to see if the OEM Unlock toggle is available.

Okay. Unlock your bootloader then install this; once you have TWRP installed, you can flash Magisk in TWRP.
