The Korean brand released the stable One UI 8 for the Galaxy S25 series earlier this week. Earlier this month, we came across a leaked stable One UI 8...
Question , I was looking at my S25+ developer options and I dont see the option to unlock the bootloader and I am on One UI 7 so I believe its already a thing even before the new update.
To unlock your bootloader you need to enable usb debugging and oem unlocking in the dev settings. The rest of the steps are done in fastboot; a secret menu. From there you need to connect your phone to a pc with android sdk and your phones drivers installed.
Here it gets way complicated but the short version is that on the pc you use a tool called adb to make your phone go into fastboot. With adb you also ask your phone for a string, which you send to its manufacturer, who then hopefully sends a more different one back. That last string is then used to unlock the bootloader
Oh no that’s not what I meant. I know how to unlock the bootloader but what I meant was that on my Galaxy s25+ there is no OEM unlock function on One UI 7
Is a command you can do on your PC while phone is in fastboot that should still be able to enable oem unlocking ^^
So as long as USB degguing is there in dev options you should be golden
