[INFO] [Exynos] Note 8 - Exynos - N950F/FD - OEM Unlock Option available?

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

Couple of questions about Note 8

Hello all.
I just received an "unlocked" Sprint Note 8 cellphone N950U and Im a little confused.
I used to had a Note 4 that i flashed with a U firmware that removed all the bloatware, is this avaible for the Note 8?
Why arent custom roms or a stable root (magisk) avaible for this cellphone?
Had a lot of time retired from Samsung side (OnePlus guy here) but was stolen during a car accident that i had this weekend.
Thanks a lot and dont forget your safety belt while driving!

EDIT: Never mind... wrong link if you want to root the phone. This is your only option to root on snapdragon. I would suggest you read through that thread.

Note 8 is locked bootloader ....there will be no twrp for it until it's unlocked ....which probably won't ever happen .. root is available but not once it's updated past bootloader v3 ...it's the only phone I have had that I didn't root ....I have flashed the Oreo roms and the unlocked versions .... But there aren't any custom roms ...
Oreo

Oreo has not been OFFICIALLY released for the Note8. There has been some leaked builds, but none for the unlocked U1 firmware. So if you want Oreo, you'll have to go with carrier firmware.

Dear God no. Unless you want a brick.
Now, seriously, all of your questions have been answered in detail, and in guides, here on XDA. I highly encourage you to use the search bar and do some research of your own.

Good evening,

Thx in advance

It's not possible, they use different CPU.

[SM-G781B/DS] Remove Unlock Bootloader Warning

Hi,
I am using Samsung S20 FE 5G (SM-G781B / DS) rooted.
I am looking for, how I can remove the warningns when starting the phone ( unlock bootloader warning screen and info about unofficial software ).
I have tried the solution from this page, but it doesn't work on this model.
Do you have any ideas on how to do this?
Remove Unlock Bootloader Warning on Samsung Galaxy S20/S20+/Ultra/FE
In this tutorial, we will show you the steps to remove the unlock bootloader warning screen on Samsung Galaxy S20/S20+/Ultra/FE devices.
www.droidwin.com

The how to is literally in the guide above, you are just flashing an image file to the phone to over write the one with the warning message.

the FE version is for the 4G Exynos

Hi.
I understand, but for the S20FE 5G model (SM-G781B) with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, this tutorial does not work.
Odin uploaded the file ( via AP ) is Failed.
The FE version is only for the 4G Exynos? And with android 10 or 11?

you might have to manually copy the image file then via root explorer, but you will have to research where etc.

actually it has been looked into by a couple of guys recently, the bad news is that control over bootscreens on snap FEs is from the bootloader.
there's no way to modify the bootloader and then to get it signed again, removing the warnings is almost certain to never happen for snap Samsungs.
