OEM Unlocking means you are freeing yourself from your manufacturer; by unlocking your device you take full control and also full responsibility to whatever that is going to happen to your device. OEM unlock is kind of like breaking the agreement between you and your device manufacturer. After OEM unlocking you can do many power stuff such as flashing your phone with custom ROM, custom recoveries like TWRP or even custom Kernels.

On any Android device running Android 5.0 and above, you should have an option called ‘OEM Unlock’ under developer options. By enabling this option, you get the ability to unlock the bootloader of your Android device. But strangely, this option has been missing in some latest Samsung Android devices. If you own any of the international/Exynos versions of the Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy S9 or Samsung Galaxy Note 9 but you are missing the OEM unlock toggle, there is a fix available to get it back.

But on the latest Samsung flagship devices such as Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S9, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the ‘OEM unlock’ option only becomes available after 7 days of activating the device and adding a Samsung or Google account to the device. If you do not want to wait for 7 days or even after 7 days the option is not available for you, follow the below guide.
