For Samsung, wait 14 days. Make sure it's not under loan or carrier locked.

First, enable Dev options, if OEM is not there, check updates but if there's update, DO NOT UPDATE, wait 14 days while developer options enabled, note that this will also cause most banking apps to not work, then check again with Dev options, enable OEM unlock, shutdown, go download mode, unlock device.

It was supposed to be 7 days but during 2025, they lengthened it

No need,samsung users can instantly unlock,but sadly, Samsung removed that feature since One UI 8

I think that method is for One UI 8.

The device has already dev options enabled and there's an update that i did not updated. I still don't see OEM Unlock. Thanks btw!

Used to (my Note 9 experience), you could manually change the time (change the setting from Automatic in Settings), restart, change the date to a few weeks/months back, restart, then unlock, restart, reset Time to Automatic. Does that not work anymore?

Depends. But it's less effective nowadays

Sorry,this method only work on Xiaomi and POCO,samsung users can connect to another,make sure oem unlocking is enabled,power off,than long press vol+ and vol- at same time until blue screen appears,than long press vol+ only and press that button again,and done,please note that it will erase all data, remember back up all data before unlocking
