I'd like to root my phone, but it seems, there is not a complete guide for my device. I could figure out I need to have the OEM unlock option enabled, but the menu item is missing from my dev. option menu. Searched the entire net for info, but it seems, there is no option. It is an ON7 2016 bootloader G6100ZHU2CRI8 with msm8953 chipset. I've tried date change, Miracle box 2.58 - non of the FRP reset options worked in it. Can we even unlock bootloader on Snapdgragon? Looking forward to your answers. Thank you.

I just want to root my phone and stay on stock rom, but according to the guide I will need to enable OEM Unlock, which asks me for an unlock code. How do I acquire that code (if any vendor sells it please PM me)? Thanks.
Toggling "OEM Unlock" in Developer Options asks you for an unlock code? This is the first I'm hearing of this. What software version are you on?
I'm on 6.0.1. I have actually tried many different things since the post. I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204) and right now I have a partial root that allows me to do some stuff, but not others. For example AdAway can't change the host file and I can't change the permission of it either.
Not Android version, I mean the build version. It starts with A2017U, and there are numbers and letters after it.
As for making changes, you need to disable system write protection. Check Step 8 in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/newbies-guide-to-unlocking-rooting-axon-t3496234
It is probably asking for your lockscreen unlock code. I had to use my pattern unlock to ok my choice to enable unlock.
There is no need to request any unlock code in any case. Just follow one of the many guides here. eg. http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165

Hi! I've inherited a SM-T590 (among various other devices) from a deceased relative and try to figure out how to unblock them. I flashed the engineering image and turned on ADB but I don't see how to get rid of the FRP from there. What would be the next steps to disable the FRP entirely?
Thanks!
Once you flash the eng ROM, which you have, go into developer options and enable OEM unlock. Then factory reset within the settings. After that you can flash stock and frp will be disabled.
That worked! Thanks a lot!
Hello,
I know this thread is old. I have almost the same problem, except this is a familly kid who forget his lock screen password, and he used a dummy email adresse to create google account... And android version is 10, not 9.
So we did a factory reset from the recovery menu. But, now, we have to enter the google account, and of course, he doesn't remember.
I tried some (non trusted) tools as samsung frp tool, but not working. I tried a combination rom (i don't know if this is the good one), but in the download mode, the device tells me that :
frp is enabled, ignore pit download.
I tried to flash latest version 10 stock rom, but no change.
Is it worth to try to flash with a stock rom version 8 or 9 ? But to get these roms, i have to pay, but no garantie that this will work...
The device is not in debug mode, of course, and oem locked.
In the second post of this thread, there was a google drive link, but it's dead.
Do i have to put this galaxy tab a tm-t590 to the trash, or is there some hope to unlock it?
Finally did it.
I downgraded using odin in Android 9 using a stock rom, for 2.99$.

I tried again samsung frp tool that I trust now .
I followed this video:
But the step *#0*# didn't work. So i tried to launch some apps from the web launcher.
I didn't remember exactly how I did it, but I succeded to create a new google account.
I restarted the device, and and i'm now in android. I activated debug mode and disabled oem mode.
I will try to flash something new and maybe alternative firmware.
I don't know which, but I will search here
Good morning,
I want to install a custom rom but I'm not able because I haven't the "OEM Unlock" option in the developer area, I try everything that I found in Google like change the date at the calendar for example but doesn't work.
Someone have some other options to display the option? I have to wait 8 days to see the option automatically?
I already rooted the device
Thank you!
Pretty sure these old Samsung devices just had unlocked bootloaders by default
Hi, Everyone
I'm new to this community. I'm having trouble gaining access to the OEM Bootloader Unlock option in developer options. Here are things I've tried already based on what I researched before my attempt.
Android 10 is the current OS installed after unboxing.
1. Disable Automatic Date and time
2. Select a date more than 7 days prior to current date of attempt.
3. Under Settings > About Phone > Software Information. Select/Tap Build Number 7-8 times to unlock Developer Option.
4. Disable Auto Update System (Apply Updates When Device Restarts) - *This was somehow already disabled the first time I entered Developer options*
5. Under Software Updates > Disable Automatic Updates -*This was also already disabled on unboxing and it says Automatically download updates over Wifi. It does not say Automatic Updates*
6. Reboot device and return to Developer Options after booting to OS.
7. The OEM Bootloader Unlock option should appear greyed out at this point. Toggle it to unlock bootloader with consideration that it will wipe the device data.
These are the steps I've found and tried with no success in gaining access to the Bootloader unlock option. I am also certain that my device is the international model with Exynos chipset and Mali-G72 GPU. Something else to note, I did uncheck many default options tied to improving privacy on the device before attempting the steps to gain access to the bootloader unlock option. I do not know if that would make a difference. If there is any other information I can provide to get some help with this problem, please add it to your reply. Excited to hear from the community.
Did you figure it out yet (I hope so)?
I came across your question on googling the missing OEM-Unlock on my device^^
For me basically steps 6-13 from here brought up the missing option in developer options.
After unlocking I had to do this again, to be able to flash the custom recovery
A friend of mine asked me to install a newer Android in his Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.0 3G (SM-T531, codename matisse3g), which is pretty old and still has a Kitkat install. So, as I have some experience with Android hacking, I got the tablet, gave it a factory reset and unlocked the Developer Options tab in the Settings app. All tutorials that I found, say that I should turn on the OEM Unlock option to unlock the bootloader, but there isn't this option in Developer Options tab.
I tried several workarounds, like setting a earlier date and time, turning off the Auto Update option (tip: there isn't this option too)... But I was unsuccessful. There is not an OEM unlock option, neither a Auto Update option in Developer Options tab, in the Settings app.
Any ideas would be welcome. BTW, I'm a Linux user, so I don't have any Windows here (besides into a Virtual Machine) to use Odin.
Cheers,
Ricardo.
Hi, these old Samsung devices don't have unlock bootloader option. Just install a custom recovery (TWRP or lineage - for this last one, to flash it through odin, you need to pack the renamed recovery.img file into an uncompressed .tar one with a random name)
