How To Unlock The Bootloader On Samsung Devices


If you're searching the web on how to unlock the bootloader on Samsung devices, then your search ends here.

However, before proceeding, it's worth noting that this process only works on Exynos variants of Samsung devices. The bootloader of Snapdragon variants of Samsung devices cannot be unlocked easily and require a lot of trial and error, hence not worth the effort.

So if you're ready to unlock the bootloader on your Samsung smartphone, then simply follow the steps below.

Steps to unlock the bootloader on Samsung devices


Important: Unlocking the bootloader on your device would reset it completely and erase all content hence before proceeding I'd suggest backing up all data on the device to avoid losing valuable files and documents.


  1. Launch the Settings page on your device.
  2. You would now have to unlock the Developer options on your device. (Skip step 3 and 4 if developer options is enabled on your device.)
  3. Tap on About phone and then tap on Software information.
  4. Now you'd have to tap on Build number 7 times consecutively.
  5. Head back to the Settings page and scroll down and select Developer options.
  6. Simply toggle on the OEM unlocking option in the Developer options page.
  7. Of course, you'd see a warning claiming that all data would be erased and Knox would be tripped once you make any OS changes after unlocking the bootloader.
  8. Simply go through the warning and then enter your Pin or Password to proceed with unlocking the bootloader.
  9. The device would reboot automatically and the entire process should take around 30 - 40 minutes.
  10. Voila, the device's bootloader is now unlocked.

Oppo is on a smartphone release streak. The company has been launching new devices just about every second month. Its newest budget smartphone to launch is the Oppo Reno A which was launched today in Japan. The Reno A comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a FullHD+ resolution. Powering the device is the tried and tested Snapdragon 710 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage . Oppo's budget-oriented device has a decent 3600mAh battery which should get you through a day of use on a single charge. What's even more interesting is that the device comes with an IP67 water and dust resistant rating. It's still rare to see budget smartphones to have an official Ingress Protection rating so kudos to Oppo. On the rear, we get dual rear cameras. The primary sensor is a 12MP wide-angle lens and paired with it is the 2MP depth sensor . To be honest, it would have been great if Oppo went with an ultra-wide-angle lens for the second camera. However, given...

Google unveiled its flagship duo for the year, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL . Both devices were heavily leaked before the launch and there isn't really anything new that surprised us. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL start at a price of  $799 and  $899 respectively and you might be wondering whether or not the Pixel 4 duo is waterproof. Well, you can ease your mind since the new flagship devices from Google indeed have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. This means that the Pixel 4 duo should be able to survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes . Of course, it's worth noting that an Ingress Protection rating does not always guarantee that the device would always survive being submerged in water or exposed to dust. Nonetheless, while we weren't surprised by the specifications and features on the latest Pixel duo, what surprised is that the Pixel 4 duo would not be brought over to India. It seems Google has decided to skip one of the largest...
