First of all, i tried searching befor open the post without much luck, if is double post forgive me .
I want ask if i should go buy without think twice the mi mix or , just wait months when mi mix 2 will be officially annouce. i love that device, and i dont really know if i should wait or not >.<.
I already know the camera kinda not that good , but maybe with updates they can improve it right?
Well im open mind to any kind of advice from the community. Thank you for reading my post :fingers-crossed:
Hello,
I have paid nearly a thousand dollars for the note 8. I have also bought 4 cases with two screen protectors. The total reaches up to 1100$. Despite paying all this money for a phone, I cant do whatever I want to with it because I don’t have the OEM unlock option. I have nearly read all of the 225 page about OEM unlock for Exynos through this month. I have already signed with google, Samsung. I already waited more than 9 days with no boots but with no luck.
My suggestion to solve the OEM unlock option :
Donating money for any developer who is willing to try solving this mystery. I already paid about 1100$ for this phone and I am willing to pay a little extra to root it and to install custom roms whenever I want.
I am starting with myself. I am donating a 25$ as a start for anyone who is willing to take the challenge. What do you guys think? Are you willing to donate for anyone who are willing to try to solve the issue?
To keep things clear, I suggest that a moderator to open a thread for this subject where anyone willing to donate sees his name and the amount of his donation, so that we can know the approximate amount of donation money or a moderator can do whatever he wants as long as everything clear to us.
This thread is intended to check if people may want to donate money for anyone who may want to solve the issue of OEM, so If you got lucky with the OEM unlock option, please do NOT post your experience here, post it in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/info-note-8-exynos-n950f-fd-oem-unlock-t3673140
Thanks
This is a good idea, i'm willing to donate 30 EURO.
I don't know what to say. I paid just as much for this phone knowing full well that root or an unlocked bootloader might not ever happen. I made that choice knowing that there are or would be phones nearly as capable as the Note 8 that would have root or an unlocked bootloader.

I'm in. Too bad chainfire retired, maybe this bounty will entice him. If it's possible to get SU first then disable knox. Then get to system and find what's causing this ghost toggle by expert means. Unlock it and then Odin twrp . But this is just my novice idea.

Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I don't know how the developers will do that. As long as they can do it whether with your way or their way, that would be great.
I am ready to pay.
I am willing to pay up to $50 or even more if that would solve our issue
solve what issue?
OEM unlock wont give you root or anything else..
Can you complete it? Is it Exynos or Snapdragon? Imo all Exynos chips have OEM unlock but we have the " 7 days " jail time. And we also have those impatient fooks who keeps on flashing sht on their phones then complain " Its been 500 years, I still dont the have OEM toggle "
I myself waited for 7 full days. 1st flash of TWRP was unsuccessful because of the " only official binaries are allowed " thing. So I went back to sleep and updated my phone ( samsung released a security update ). Woke up and decided to try it again ( The FRP and OEM were off even tho the OEM toggle in dev option is gone ) then BOOM!! I didnt expect it to succeed, my phone restarted and Odin indicated that the flash was successful so I immediately pressed buttons for TWRP and everything went good after that. Now I have TWRP+Renovate Ice+Magisk+Xposed.
I think the update from sasmung fixed the " Official binaries " thing

Solve the issue of it not appearing (or dissappearing). It's needed to install a rom, etc. (At least on Exynos...Snapdragon has that locked bootloader of course)

We are not sure if that would solve the issue, but at least let us try. If everybody contributes a little for a developer, that developer may have the time to solve the issue for us.

The issue that there is a topic now with more than 230 pages of members' observations about OEM unlock, and still we don't have an answer. if you have OEM unlock option appearing for you, that is good for you. here is the topic we are talking about :

I am talking about Exynos. Members have different experiences here. No one have the absolute answer for this mystery, otherwise ; that topic won't reach 230 pages if replies, and I wouldn't open this thread.
This is just me but if my OEM unlock was refusing to show up after one week I would get a thread going and compare notes with affected devices alone There are one or more things you are all doing, software you are running, somthing, which is affecting your ability to get OEM unlock. Figure that out and you're home free.

Imho it got to 230 pages because most people complain first before they read and or have flashed something before even waiting for 7 full days. And mostly of the first pages is the discovery of the 7 days jail time. It would have been lesser that 230 if they have read first and have been patient
Have you fully updated your phone btw?
Use only 1 sim?
Got the phone from another country?
Never flashed anything on it?
Im currently using SM-N950F/DS btw

- The phone was fully updated.
- I used two sims the first 10 days, then when OEM didn't appear, I removed one.
- I got it from the same country.
- During the first 10 days, I did nothing except for showing developers option. I waited 10 days but OEM didn't appear. After this, I flashed different stock rom, and now I am waiting. My up time is 66 hours now and I am using one sim. If no solution was descoverd, I can report at 168 hours (7 days).
By the way, I nearly read all the 235 pages. I have a friend who has his OEM appeared out of the box, he bought his phone from another country.
how is the petition going? Can we nudge chainfire for this bounty? I bet he can crack it

it seems that people don't want to spend money for it. we have 15 voters : 8 with paying money, and 7 with not paying money. if there are more people, we can try to nudge him to take a look.
I´ll pay US$50, for an OEM unlock option to be avaiable upon flashing any ROM so that we don´t have to wait for the 7 day period to everytime we want to root or wipe or flash CSC.

Yes US $50 is about right to avoid this oem switch. The fact that we our boot loader is not completely locked..
i am willing to add $50 to get out this NO-OEM jail on N950FD.... i can't believe i got tricked into this samcircus .... i am debating myself if i have to sell this device & get s8 duos instead..
I made an account just now for the sole purpose of replying to this thread;
I will donate money towards this, probably the same as others ($50) I didn't buy my Note 8 to be restricted
Hey everybody, my Note 5 is a Verizon phone (SM-N920V) with a T-Mobile SIM card. It went into boot loop a few days ago. After many hours of pouring over these forums and working with Odin and the stock files on here I am no closer to a solution than when I started. First time getting this far into working on a phone at all.
Basically I'm asking if there is anybody here that would take a shot at getting it working again. Just let me know where to ship it and how much. Sorry if this is not allowed, but any help is much appreciated!
Just yah know like to fix phones and when I search here and can't find the solution I make sure to come back and post it when I do find it weeks or months later. It's usually pretty mundane things but the questions must be answered!
My favorite thing to do is to get past Google Locks just by spending hours or sometimes weeks. Managed to do it twice before practicality was overwhelming so out came the PC. I can get past the newest iPhone 12 iCloud locks as well. I was ecstatic to find a tricky way.

Thank you for welcoming me. Have a nice day or night, depending on your local.
so the whole entire length of me having some sort of device, ive yet to have a device that I can root successfully. I seem to always be having the phone or device that hasnt been worked out yet. so after a long stint away I have come back to try and bring back this LG Stylo 5 to life again. I currently have a broken Stylo 6 which is on its way out so Im desperately trying to get the 5 working before it no longer works.
I also have a 4th gen ipad icloud locked that Im trying to figure out also. its been a couple years since I really dove into trying to figure out if the stylo 5 bootloader can be unlocked, and to my surprise it seems like there is more info pertaining to it than before!
I wanted to officially ask though, HAS ANYONE COME ACROSS A WAY TO BYPASS FRP on an LG STYLO 5 (LMQ720)
thanks guys I hope everyone is having a good start to their year!!!
