S20 FE SM-G781B U4 Missing OEM Unlock switch - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

Dear Experts,
I have one S20 FE SM-G781B U4 - Android 11 with missing OEM Unlock switch, any one have the solution for this?
In download mode, it's showing KG Status: NORMAL (please check the attached picture).
Have tried some tricks likes: backdated setup, connecting Wi-Fi and restarted, still no luck...
Appreciate any advice...
Regards,
xe

if there's no OEM toggle in developer options after setup and connection to the internet then I don't know what's up with your phone.

Hi Bro...
Yes Bro, this is very rare happening, it is showing KG Status: NORMAL on download mode, while the one getting OEM Unlock switch is showing status as CHECKING...
Thank you anyway...

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.

**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.

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

Other options for OEM unlock

So I just received a brand new S10 from Sprint. I am trying to enable OEM Unlock so that I can root the device. However, the option does not appear under Developer Options. I have tried to clock reset about 20 different times with no luck. Does anyone know of any other way to get OEM Unlock to show up?
I am currently running Android 9 on the version of G973USQS2BSIA/G973UOYN2BSIA/G973USQS2BSIA and Security Patch Level of September 1, 2019.
Thanks in advance!

The bootloader cant be unlocked on the US model. Only the international exynos and Hong Kong snapdragon model.

This has been know to just about everyone for the last 3 or 4 years. It has been posted here and everywhere else a zillion times so it should come as no surprise.
Actually, you can make the OEM unlock toggle appear, but as far as I know it doesn't really DO ANYTHING at all.....
Just flash the Combo file and check in Dev Settings again, it should be there, and you can tick it on and off....
But like I said, It DOES NOT REALLY "UNLOCK" the bootloader... I guess it's Samsung's way of torturing us. Or making fun of us...

- Waiting a new update from Xiaomi

M2004J19C - without NFC
M2004J19AG - with NFC
Now no one knows how to unlock the bootloader on the NFC version. The support service is talking nonsense. We have to wait or start a riot.

I received information from the technical support that only one phone number must be active on the smartphone, the one assigned to the account. Secondly, if it still does not work, try several times until it shows the time to unlock.
It worked for me.

No way you can't !
But, Could you ( Or any one ) try this method:
Try insert another Sim card and make a new Mi account with it !
Then try to unlock it .

The sim has to be active right? I kind of just wanted to use this phone without service, just wifi.
I do have an assurance wireless sprint sim but it seems it got locked after a little bit when I put it in the redmi 9. Didn't work with unlocking after the sim locked message came up so I'm not sure if I should even bother.
Assurance wireless says it only supports specific phones and of course this one isn't one of them.

It's fine for now I think. My main concern was uninstalling those stock apps / bloatware and I used the xiaomi adb tools. Well, it's still a rather new phone so maybe someone will come up with a way to root it without going through Xiaomi like with the Note 3

I think the AG is the same of G ! both global.
To make sure that there is no NFC. Go to settings and search for NFC if there is no results then it's without.
That's simple

[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.

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.
