Hi all,
I have a Straight Talk Galaxy A20, model SM-S205DL. Will root instructions work for this model? I don't notice an OEM unlock option in the Developer Mode menu, but I can boot in download mode. Thoughts? It's been a while since I tried to install custom firmware.

You need to unlock OEM for it to work

Okay. Is there a way to do that other than the developer options menu? If the OEM unlock option isn't there, is there some other method?

There is a trick where you change the date to some weeks in the future.
im having the same issue
yea the dev options to show OEM Unlock seems to be gone from Straighttalk/tracfone versions, its even Gone from Download Mode (you dont even SEE the option for long-press vol+ to unlock bootloader)

Some places claim to be able to change the CID of the phone. Would that help? I imagine once able to load different non-TFN BS firmware on the phone that magic developer option may appear. Or is it a hardware thing and the exynos chip has something to do with it? Not sure how it all works yet. Anyone know what the unlocked us retail model contains?
I'm not smart enough to find out so hopefully someone is and reads this and can chime in regarding all the points...
Me and my arrow...
Is my A12 (a125u) different and unable to be bl unlocked/rooted, etc? It has OEM unlock in dev options....?
Did you figure this out? Looking to do the same... Also can't find a firmware for it, please share what you did if you had success. Thanks!

Yes, the A125U has OEM UNLOCK in the developer options......you can turn that ON by going into : settings > about phone > software information ...and then tap BUILD NUMBER several times until you see that you have enabled "developer options". Then you go into developer options and turn on OEM UNLOCKING.
Before updating firmware recently OEM UNLOCKING was greyed out. But now I can switch it on. Now the question is, can this variant be properly bootloader unlocked and rooted. The known repository for downloadable firmwares for Samsung phones DOES NOT seem to have this variant firmware for download. And I wonder if that is required for this to be properly rooted.
Galaxy firmware has the firmware for this variant. I have the att version and I can't seem to unlock the bootloader. Holding volume up in the download screen does nothing. Any luck?
Bump, I have all same questions.... Anyone figure anything out?
Before I had tmo Sim unlock my phone the I set the oen unlock to unlock now its not there at all
Anybody rooted this yet ?
anyone know the interchangeability of the firmware between the a125u and other versions
I wish to know as well
What if the OEM unlock not showing how do you get it to show

I'd like to know this too. I believe the internal are all the same for the MediaTek devices. I got a SM-A125F for free and want to use it in the US. It looks like I could if I can convert it to SM-A125U or MS-A125M. I already bricked it once trying to flash U firmware and has to flash back to F

i was able to root this sm-a125u very easily... downloaded A125WVLS3AUL1 firmware (canadian unlocked) flash the full stock rom and was able to unlock bootloader as simple as holding down all buttons when going into download mode, it unlocked it that way and was able to flash twrp, magisk and its all good
I have a similar issue but vice versa. I bought a US version (SM-A125U1) only to find out months after that the dual sim option is locked and i think the only way to unlock it is changing the firmware. Now I need help to know what I can do to, please.

I just received my Flip3 (SM-F711U1) and would like to unlock my bootloader. However developer options is missing the OEM Unlock option. It's completely missing not just grayed out. I read a few articles about needed to change the system date but none of those guides changed anything. Can someone help?
Also, I attempted to call *#*#7378423*#*# to double checked that it wasn't already unlocked and I got a popup saying "Unabled to process the request."
Thank you.

Have you tried through fastboot? (fastboot oem unlock)
Oh, got you. Sorry!
As far as I'm aware samsung devices don't support fastboot. I did attempt to connect it in case I was wrong but was not able to get fastboot to recognize the device.

You can try directly unlock without ticking the oem unlock. By boot into download mode. The other thing is your device or carrier or country wont allow your flip 3 to be unlock. There last step you can try is clean flash via odin with your latest firmware.

I can get into download mode fine but don't know how to use that to unlock directly. Can you give more details?
I tried a clean flach with my latest firmware but it didn't change anything.
It's a US carrier unlocked version I bought directly from Samsung. CSC of XAA. Currently using a T-Mobile SIM.

If you had them enabled on your last phone and you restored from your Google backup, developer options will be enabled. Has happened on all of my phones since Android 9

If you can boot into download mode there is an instruction just press vol up button and it will prompt do you want to unlock bootloader mine is like that. Im not sure yours since mine is korea version.

They support bootloader unlock. samsung dont support using fastboot unlock or command at all
if you're in North America, Canada etc Qualcomm chips there do not support bootloader unlocking, at least the Samsung one's don't, not sure about other OEMs.

They used to, so there was always a possibility it returned.
I recently read this article on XDA about unlocking the boot loader on the Fold 3 which results in Samsung disabling the camera (WTH?), Is this a thing on the Flip3 too?
My device is rooted. I have always been able to find the OEM unlock option under developer options without any constraints.
My camera is NOT affected. I can still use it without any issues.
I have an European device (SM-F711B).
Hope this helps some of you to track down whether this is a location or carrier based problem.
Hey Redhatter,
Out of topic question, but are you getting Tmobile 5G just fine?

Hi everyone
I'm not sure the section is correct, but in the Motorola section I didn't find the dedicated section and I didn't find a Generic Motorola section
I asked if there is news for the rooting and modding for the Motorola Moto G82 5G https://www.motorola.it/smartphones-moto-g-82-5g/p which I intend to purchase. The international name is likely to be different, but I was unable to find it
Ps
Sorry for my English, I use an online translator
Hopefully soon, looks like a good phone

Read better the guide I linked...
The unlock code must be used with the fastboot command on PC
For boot.img you extract from original firmware file with 7Zip or WinRAR. To download the original firmware see this guide
