How do I enable OEM unlocking on my Galaxy S25


To enable OEM unlocking on your Samsung Galaxy S25, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings: Start by accessing the Settings app on your device. You can find it on your home screen or in the app drawer.

2. Access Developer Options: Scroll down in the Settings menu and select Developer options. If you do not see this option, you may need to enable it first by going to About phone, then tapping on Build number seven times until you see a message indicating that Developer options have been enabled.

3. Enable OEM Unlocking: Within the Developer options menu, look for the OEM unlocking toggle. It may initially be disabled. Tap the toggle to enable it.

4. Confirm Your Action: You will be prompted to enter your device password or PIN. After entering it, confirm by tapping the Enable button.

5. Complete the Process: Once enabled, you should see a confirmation that OEM unlocking is now active. This allows you to unlock the bootloader, which is necessary for installing custom ROMs or making advanced modifications to your device.

Important Considerations

- Data Backup: Before enabling OEM unlocking, ensure you back up all important data, as unlocking the bootloader can erase all data on the device.
- Warranty and Security Risks: Be aware that enabling OEM unlocking may void your warranty and expose your device to security vulnerabilities.

Following these steps will successfully enable OEM unlocking on your Galaxy S25, allowing for further customization and modifications of your device [1][2][4].
