    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

        fastboot oem unlock
        

        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
