You need to unlock bootloader on Samsung Galaxy phone in order to ROOT it, install TWRP recovery, or to install custom ROM such as LineageOS etc.

Bootloader unlock process on Samsung Galaxy phone is a very simple process unlike other OEMs which use fastboot to unlock the bootloader. in addition, I will be taking you through a very simple step by step guide which I bet to be a buttery smooth experience even for the first time users.

[su_note note_color=”#F9D9D9″ text_color=”#AA4343″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]WARNING:
The KNOX counter will be tripped once you unlock the bootloader on Samsung Galaxy phone, which will VOID the warranty!

All data on your phone will also be deleted while unlocking the bootloader. So, you may consider backup data on your Phone.
YOU are the only person making changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.

8. If you think the bootloader is unlocked, in fact it might not, yet! Read the below section on how to let VaultKeeper unlock Samsung Galaxy phone’s bootloader permanently.

Allow VaultKeeper to Completely Unlock the Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy phone

VaultKeeper, RMM State: prenormal etc. are not new things. They are at least 2 years old from now.

The VaultKeeper is some kind of “thief” protection service that is running on your Samsung Galaxy phone. The VaultKeeper service may try to lock the bootloader again if the following steps are not done immediately after the bootloader unlock on Samsung Galaxy phone.

To make sure that the VaultKeeper fully unlocks the bootloader to allow foreign partition flashing, which is important if you want to flash TWRP or want to ROOT using Magisk etc. then follow the below instructions.

1. Immediately after the bootloader unlock, the phone will be wiped and restarted automatically.
2. During the setup, connect the Samsung Galaxy phone to an internet source.
3. Enable Developer options again!
4. Confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and greyed out!

   [su_note note_color=”#D7E3F4″ text_color=”#728095″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]If the OEM Unlocking option does not show up, then close and open the Settings menu again and again till it reappears.
   Just make sure that your phone is connceted to the internet. It is important!
   [/su_note]

   [su_note note_color=”#F9D9D9″ text_color=”#AA4343″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]Make sure you do not turn off the phone without confirming the OEM Unlocking setting is greyed out![/su_note]

There is something called as VaultKeeper that will try to relock the bootloader after the data wipe.
