This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread for the Mate 20 Pro.
The below applies to both the Mate 20 and the Mate 20 Pro.
Install:
Currently FunkyHuawei has a new install method for EMUI 9 devices which is not public as of yet.
Unbrick:
Unbricking will be possible with the new HiSuite 9 method, but it is not public as of yet.
Rebrand:
Rebranding is not currently planned to be offered. Neither is single sim to dual sim conversion. This may change in the future.
Unlock:
Unlock codes are available via the unlock code order form, or by purchasing an unlimited pass. See the site for details.
If you have a global variant, make sure that you can choose Enable OEM Unlock in developer options. So far we have seen the option grayed out on all devices. If you can't enable this, even with the code, you can't unlock the bootloader.
It has been confirmed that bootloader unlocking on the Chinese variant is possible. On the global variant we can give you the code, but you'll need to be able to choose Enable OEM Unlock as specified above.
Root:
The methods which are not public are available to those who want to test them, by contacting FunkyHuawei support by email.
We will update this thread with any changes.
so I have to purchase for unlocking my device?
what the ..
I would prefer bootloader unlock with paid service rather than having Mate 20 Pro with access limitation. Since you as the owner, you should've the right to use your phone the way you want it. Since the official unlock method was suspended months ago, what else option do we have?

Sure, but these people are putting work in to it and want to be paid -- I don't believe they're affiliated with Huawei. If it was Huawei doing this, I'd understand your sentiment.
Keeping tabs here. I'm hoping to pre order the UK emerald green variant before the timeframe ends for the free gifts.
Not sure of the purpose of this thread. It offers nothing. So will it? Can the phone be unlocked? Is a purchase required?
We already know Huaweu have publicly stated all phones after an earlier date in 2018 won't be boot-unlockable. So curious...how will FunkyHuaweu help me?

Think we've gotta wait for Friday onwards, as seemingly people with devices now (presumably different software wise?) have the OEM unlock option greyed out in developer options.
As far as my understanding goes, if we can check that option, we can't unlock the bootloader..... Sad times if so.
I'll be hopefully getting my device on Friday and I'll be sure to see if that option is an option for me...
So is there any way to unlock bootloader other than OEM unlock?

As far as I know that setting needs to be checked, we need to be able to select Allow. Without it I don't think the bootloader can be unlocked, but I'd be gladly proved wrong!
Does rebrand from L09 to L29 work or is it in the works?
Edit.. Meant without root, not bothered about that.. Or are we saying we need unlocked BL nowadays to rebrand to doff model?

May change in the future, but right now, any kind of rebranding is looking very unlikely.
The same software updates can be offered for all brandings, which is a plus, so there shouldn't be such a need to rebrand, even if you have an obscure branding.
But enabling dual sim on single-sim, is looking very unlikely with the current state of things. We are looking into it, though.
Thanks for the reply. I need global, not Chinese with root... this is a Dev community - so I don't support anyone holding the root process for global ROM as a ransom. Happy to pay a contribution but it's meant to be shared..
Unless your version is a 1 click solution like chain fire and has no phone side effects, then I don't see the value on demanding a ransom

Demanding a ransom? LOL.
They're a business providing a service.
If others want to do it for free, there's nothing stopping them from doing so. The problem is, I doubt there will be enough people interested in doing that ... the Huawei / Honor development community has already been shattered.

Cool dude. You can go ahead and buy "pre rooted" phones from them because "only they can do it."... I'm. Here to support Devs who are on the forum to work out problens together and share the results with the community.. And i may add, earn money in the process via tulhe bounty thread...

I mentioned before, I need the device in hand to do it. No way currently exists that I could offer people to do at home. That might change in the future, but that is the current situation.
With the Chinese version, you can likely simply unlock the bootloader and root like any other phone.
With the global version, you could theoretically do the same if Enable OEM Unlock is available. But if it isn't available, the only alternative I can offer, is one that requires the device in-hand. It's nothing to do with ransom. I'd much prefer there were easier rooting methods available. My full-time job is reverse-engineering and exploiting Huawei devices, so it would make my job much easier.

Many moons ago, "JTAG'ing" a Microsoft Xbox 360 console required a but of heavy lifting...and by that, I mean a lot of specialized effort and knowledge to carry about a successful JTAG, see what I mean:
https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-JTAG-your-Xbox-360-and-run-homebrew/
So - with that in mind - are you literally pulling the Mate 20 Pro phone apart with special tools and connecting wires to it running specialized patent-pending software/s? I obviously need to ask as you have failed several times to mention WHY you need the "phone in hand" to root?!
Otherwise, if you're insinuating that it takes a lot of manual rebooting, flashing and lots of complicated software steps - well, that's why there's things called instruction guides....and people like me around offering to put one together so I/we can SHARE and help others in my position (who would want a rooted global version of this). So I will once again state, unless you can elaborate otherwise, it is in fact a ransom...imagine how much Chainfire, all those years ago, could've charged Samsung users for his (albeit, simpler) root method across the range and years of phone and tab models?

Just to add to this I'm willing, within reason, to help out in any way possible to achieve Magisk root for the global version. There is currently a pledged amount of around £170 and hell, even if some of those didn;t pay out I'd be willing to put more in....
If we can assist in anyway let us know....

If it was something like this, I would be offering it as a do-at-yourself service, with a tool. I can't offer it like that, I need the phone in-hand to do it, as I said.
I guess one could then ask the question: What if someone in relation to Huawei pays you for a phone (global) pre-rooted. Then, they investigate how or where the exploit was made - and eventually patch it anyway? It may take longer, but we'd end up in the same position as before if Huawei wanted to control root on their global models...and, given your work/livelihood, you would know better than most: If Huawei did NOT want this to happen, they certainly wouldn't make the CN version as simple and easy to root as you claim in this thread...and they'd have something in the pipeline, if not available now ready to patch the exploit...
I still do not see how the CN and Global versions can be so completely and insanely different.

I am trying to get it through apps Firmware Finder and DNS changer. See screenshots.
Steps how to do it:
1. Install Firmware Finder;
2. Install DNS Changer
3. Open Firmware Finder;
4. Find your firmware (matching model No and C###) and click on it;
5. Click "Get update through DNS (beta)";
6. In DNS Changer change DNS to 81.177.139.39
7. Go to System update and check for updates.
8. After all of this you will get the ability to download the latest update, but server connection fails when I click install (with set DNS address you get the message "Server temporarily unavailable) or authorization fails if disable DNS changer..

What's your location ? I wonder if I can force that update through VPN/IP change.
The question is, have you been able to install this update?
You can only install with FF if the update is approved by Huawei for your device (in which case you should be getting an OTA update anyway).
If it's not approved by Huawei for install, you can use FunkyHuawei.

So does anyone else here have a problem seeing this spam for expensive paid services on XDA?
Remember when this site used to be about sharing the love with fellow members, rather than making cash by simply redistributing firmware.
I don't imagine Huawei would like this guy selling their software, even if XDA is taking a cut of his profits.

just got my mate 10 pro, first time huawei user and did not expect to pay for a firmwareupgrade.
i get that he discovered a method to authenticate the firmware so the device recognize it and thats a nice accomplishment but why charge other users for that?? he just injects some code through his dns server.. in my opinion every thread should be deleted that covers funkyhuawei and the user should be permabanned..

If the infrastructure to install firmwares were as simple as you describe, it would be available for free. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as simple as you describe.
FH incurs costs to provide things that are charged for, including the authentication of installations, the unbricking, the rebranding, and so on. On top of that, maintenance, R&D, support, and so on is a full-time job. That's why users need to be charged. Things like rooting the Mate 10 which don't cost FH are provided for free, even though R&D was necessary to accomplish it. Same goes for the TWRP versions we've released. It's nowhere near as profitable or as evil as you presume it is. The service could not possibly run if the users were not charged.
Regardless, there's absolutely no reason you'd need to use the service to install updates. You can wait for them to be released by Huawei and get them for free. It's simply an alternative for people who want to do things they otherwise can't, and it's not FH's fault that Huawei created this problem in the first place.
Maybe it's time to get this post back on topic, no?
hello you can maybe offer a 1 credit to xda people for one free flash that will be christmas gift

Xda developers are getting their $$$ through donations and it’s understandable that most users will not like what you do
I am all up for donating my heard earned money to devs @XDA. I ain't no Warran Buffet (net worth 77.7 billion USD), but I donate about 25-50 EUR to each and every xda developer whose services/ROM I use and since I am switching between phones like every 5/6 months I donate quite a lot of money, but as soon as I saw your FunkyHuawei support thread/ https://funkyhuawei.club/ I was like naaaaaah I ain’t using it, especially because the way the credit system is built – before I bought ALP-L29 which I don’t need to rebrand to, I was thinking of buying ALP-L00 instead and rebrand it through https://funkyhuawei.club/ which would cost me 2 credits, but in that case I would have 3 credits left, since the minimum you can buy is 5 credits for 31 USD. That already looks like a rip-off.
I wonder whether if you would get more $$$ through donations than you do through your FunkyHuawei credit system..
Don’t get me wrong. It’s cool that such service exist (I’ve had one xiaomi phone for quite some time without the option to rebrand it/re-flash it and remove all Chinses stuff out of it, so I have been "there"), but you should either limit mentioning your paid service in every other topic and stick to one thread (FunkyHuawei support thread) or change your pricing policy enabling the option to buy a single 1 credit/single service (rebranding, for example), otherwise hate-posts will go on
Take care

So check out the longstanding Forum rules :
7. Do not spam, sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay-per-click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use XDA-Developers as a means to make money.
And most importantly, The one that embodies the mindset of this forum to me : the sharing of tools and knowledge and not charging other members for services ..
12. Sharing
XDA-Developers is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge. This is the cornerstone of our site. Our members and developers freely share their experience, knowledge, and finished works with the rest of the community to promote growth within the developer community, and to encourage those still learning to become better. There are those, however, who take advantage of this model and try to make personal gains from the hard work of others.
I think it's just disappointing that you've seen XDA as a way to make more money by simply charging high rates for redistributing Huaweis proprietary firmware, rather than embrace the spirit of all the other Devs who put in a lot of hard work and time to share their creations freely with other passionate members here.
It's like the exact opposite ethos of ROM development and the intention of these forums.
Sorry you view this as off topic.

Hello,
I have paid nearly a thousand dollars for the note 8. I have also bought 4 cases with two screen protectors. The total reaches up to 1100$. Despite paying all this money for a phone, I cant do whatever I want to with it because I don’t have the OEM unlock option. I have nearly read all of the 225 page about OEM unlock for Exynos through this month. I have already signed with google, Samsung. I already waited more than 9 days with no boots but with no luck.
My suggestion to solve the OEM unlock option :
Donating money for any developer who is willing to try solving this mystery. I already paid about 1100$ for this phone and I am willing to pay a little extra to root it and to install custom roms whenever I want.
I am starting with myself. I am donating a 25$ as a start for anyone who is willing to take the challenge. What do you guys think? Are you willing to donate for anyone who are willing to try to solve the issue?
To keep things clear, I suggest that a moderator to open a thread for this subject where anyone willing to donate sees his name and the amount of his donation, so that we can know the approximate amount of donation money or a moderator can do whatever he wants as long as everything clear to us.
This thread is intended to check if people may want to donate money for anyone who may want to solve the issue of OEM, so If you got lucky with the OEM unlock option, please do NOT post your experience here, post it in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/info-note-8-exynos-n950f-fd-oem-unlock-t3673140
Thanks
This is a good idea, i'm willing to donate 30 EURO.
I don't know what to say. I paid just as much for this phone knowing full well that root or an unlocked bootloader might not ever happen. I made that choice knowing that there are or would be phones nearly as capable as the Note 8 that would have root or an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I don't know how the developers will do that. As long as they can do it whether with your way or their way, that would be great.
I am ready to pay.
I am willing to pay up to $50 or even more if that would solve our issue
solve what issue?
OEM unlock wont give you root or anything else..
Can you complete it? Is it Exynos or Snapdragon? Imo all Exynos chips have OEM unlock but we have the " 7 days " jail time. And we also have those impatient fooks who keeps on flashing sht on their phones then complain " Its been 500 years, I still dont the have OEM toggle "
I myself waited for 7 full days. 1st flash of TWRP was unsuccessful because of the " only official binaries are allowed " thing. So I went back to sleep and updated my phone ( samsung released a security update ). Woke up and decided to try it again ( The FRP and OEM were off even tho the OEM toggle in dev option is gone ) then BOOM!! I didnt expect it to succeed, my phone restarted and Odin indicated that the flash was successful so I immediately pressed buttons for TWRP and everything went good after that. Now I have TWRP+Renovate Ice+Magisk+Xposed.
I think the update from sasmung fixed the " Official binaries " thing

Solve the issue of it not appearing (or dissappearing). It's needed to install a rom, etc. (At least on Exynos...Snapdragon has that locked bootloader of course)

The issue that there is a topic now with more than 230 pages of members' observations about OEM unlock, and still we don't have an answer. if you have OEM unlock option appearing for you, that is good for you. here is the topic we are talking about :

Can you complete it? Is it Exynos or Snapdragon? Imo all Exynos chips have OEM unlock but we have the " 7 days " jail time. And we also have those impatient fooks who keeps on flashing sht on their phones then complain " Its been 500 years, I still dont the have OEM toggle "
I myself waited for 7 full days. 1st flash of TWRP was unsuccessful because of the " only official binaries are allowed " thing.

I am talking about Exynos. Members have different experiences here. No one have the absolute answer for this mystery, otherwise ; that topic won't reach 230 pages if replies, and I wouldn't open this thread.
This is just me but if my OEM unlock was refusing to show up after one week I would get a thread going and compare notes with affected devices alone There are one or more things you are all doing, software you are running, somthing, which is affecting your ability to get OEM unlock. Figure that out and you're home free.

Imho it got to 230 pages because most people complain first before they read and or have flashed something before even waiting for 7 full days. And mostly of the first pages is the discovery of the 7 days jail time. It would have been lesser that 230 if they have read first and have been patient
Have you fully updated your phone btw?
Use only 1 sim?
Got the phone from another country?
Never flashed anything on it?
Im currently using SM-N950F/DS btw

- The phone was fully updated.
- I used two sims the first 10 days, then when OEM didn't appear, I removed one.
- I got it from the same country.
- During the first 10 days, I did nothing except for showing developers option. I waited 10 days but OEM didn't appear. After this, I flashed different stock rom, and now I am waiting. My up time is 66 hours now and I am using one sim. If no solution was descoverd, I can report at 168 hours (7 days).
By the way, I nearly read all the 235 pages. I have a friend who has his OEM appeared out of the box, he bought his phone from another country.

I´ll pay US$50, for an OEM unlock option to be avaiable upon flashing any ROM so that we don´t have to wait for the 7 day period to everytime we want to root or wipe or flash CSC.

Yes US $50 is about right to avoid this oem switch. The fact that we our boot loader is not completely locked..
i am willing to add $50 to get out this NO-OEM jail on N950FD.... i can't believe i got tricked into this samcircus .... i am debating myself if i have to sell this device & get s8 duos instead..
I made an account just now for the sole purpose of replying to this thread;
I will donate money towards this, probably the same as others ($50) I didn't buy my Note 8 to be restricted
Do not ask for an ETA
Once the mods start getting onto people for asking, I'll take my dev work off site. I don't want to upset mods and admin over people being impatient.
I've been looking and root isn't available yet for the Snapdragon version. I've created root access for a few devices so far, be it years ago. I want root, so I've decided to start dev work on my own. Can't say how long it will take, or if I will be able to, but anyone that is willing to test or help, feel free to comment and say so, since help would be greatly appreciated. Testers are needed.
First off though, what advancements have been made so far? Several posts I've seen have dead links to data, so to start, I'll need to know what's been done already. No need to reproduce failed outcomes.

One guy flashed a combination version of the firmware and got the OEM unlock toggle to show on a SM-G960U. It switched on and off but I am not sure if it actually unlocked the bootloader or not. There is a TWRP already ported to the Snapdragon version as well, although only for the Chinese and Hong Kong version, it should work on our device if you can get the bootloader unlocked first. I have been scouring online and in the forums since the phone came out and that's all I nave found thus far. Im sure you already know these things, but I figured I would say it just in case you weren't aware. Hope you get it figured out! Good luck! ?
The only development I've heard of is one user claiming he got a diagnostic boot with SElinux permissive. (In the S9 root dev forum/thread) I also have a source who is NOT trying to be identified publicly because he works for google, but he informed me that "the android O build for SAMSUNG DEVICES, was developed with special instructions in it to automatically kick a KERNEL PANIC , if ANY app NOT on some internal White List attempts to access, modify, or send SU commands through any NOT LISTED app with those permissions granted already." ... now I'm not an Android level programmer, but I'm an old Linux dev/ penetration systems tester (lol) and from what I am gathering is that the patches or whatever that Samsung added to the O.S. also included an encrypted or hidden white list, which he says is VERY small, (as in number of items actually in the list) , but even he said they do not have any access nor knowledge of where they stored this. He did tell me that they delivered an incomplete or infant code for Samsung Snapdragon Model Note 8,9 and s8,9, and it was so crude that not only would it not compile because of missing crap Samsung deliberately did not supply them with... but he said that it was NOT lockable in that state, so Samsung either inserted their own locked kernel and whatever to create this B.S. broke down version of Android that is Root crippled. BUT the only clue he could give me was that "On no level can an E-fuse provide an unbreakable chain of trust, and that if an extreme modded were to actually break down the system board of an S9, they could in theory remove or add some sort of device that would bypass the Qualcomm Secure boot completely!" ... now this ain't a best friend or nothing so truthfully I'm surprised I got this much from him... but I've known who he was and that hes worked for Google nearly 12 years as a developer and software engineer. So I dont know if any of that info helps... but my contribution is that I can get my device (s9+ from Sprint USA Sm-g965U) replaced with little to no hassle, so I'm 100% willing to do any tests u need, providing that you give me at least a basic level of instruction, as to each set of commands or package u want me to flash. I'm pretty android savvy considering it's just a linux derivative... and I know Samsung 100% .. I've had every S - galaxy since day 1 . BUT throwing blind commands at my device that I have 0 understanding of their impact, makes me feel like a squirrel running across the freeway during rush hour! Plz Do me a favor and shoot me a private message and I'll give you my cell number and email so u can reach me quicker when you have something u need tested! Now please people don't berate me if something he said to me was not correct or you have different data to disprove what he said. I literally took notes by hand and had him confirm them, so I'm just the messenger/informant and u gotta realize that as a google employee, he #1 is partially not knowledgeable of ways to exploit the O.S. which is what the hackers come into play for. And make the developers work **** tons harder to FIX the hole the ****ed up in the 1st place! ? Lol... and #2. I did ask about the possibility of a $$$$ number he would take in order to provide an actual Eng-boot like that of the S8, and he said that "Those are developed by each individual corporation after they are provided the build source code", and that "google has no interest in possessing or archiving any such file because the O.S. does not need it to provide a developers version of the O.S., which is as far as Google goes in providing a new system to the companies.... so for something like that, reach out to one of the underpaid factories full of workers and I'm sure they would happily give you what you want for much cheaper than you imagine!" Ok that was very long winded but I wanted to cover all I could because I prob wont check this thread anymore.... plz PM me bro so I can get you my info ... and let's put this Flashing Guinea Pig (me) to work in getting this ***** at least hack rooted or maybe full!!!
Hello, i've just finished reading all above and from what I've read I can tell that not all hopes are lost as well I'm offering my help to be a (TESTER) for any attempts you wanna try, however, please note that I'm NO DEV just a user who would like to his phone rooted ASAP that's all, so please explain the commands that you would give me and the steps. plz PM me so I can get you my contact info
It ain't happening with the known exploits.
Ok, so far I have a few routes I plan to take that have worked on other devices. Working on the first, but not at the moment. The rude comment compelled me to post my own. Devs don't follow old ways of doing things so get that out of your head if you want to think forward, not backwards. I have found what could be an exploit in the rom itself that "might" be the starting point to get root access. This is NOT an ETA but hopefully we can start testing in the next few weeks.
I'll say it now, don't get overly excited a possible exploit has been found. I make no guarantee on it being THE exploit needed. Just be patient, and if you have insight on a way to attack this or another possible exploit, do say so.
If anyone knows of the bootloader partition already having been copied, post a link. I share mine at the moment so I don't always have it around, so any of the bootloader data would help greatly.

Myself and a handful of other people involved in us snapdragon s8/s8+/n8+ took a brief crack at it a little while ago to no avail. I don't want to go into too many details on here as 1) Samsung is watching surely and 2) the contents from the peanut gallery get old quick but here are the cliff notes. Feel free to pm me here or on telegram for more details. (Backstory on me, I created samfail which was the first/only n8 root method and the second for the s8/s8+ and the only published one beyond bootloader v1.
- samfail is 100% patched. No known way to modify system
- you can't mix combo boot with stock images anymore. Samsung got wise to that. Figured out how to track it if we can force write a system image
- there is a ton of new system level security because they had to move out of the boot image due to treble. Probably the first big nail in the coffin I'm.
- don't waste your time on the oem unlock toggle in the combo/factory rom. No it doesn't unlock the bootloader. The us snapdragons don't respect it's value outside of turning off frp, but that was with the s8 idk if it is still true on the s9.
- the other poster is right about the anti root thing. It's in the open source kernel code. If anything being exexuted under uid 0 matches a list of common/known root mods/not stuff that is supposed to be there, instant kernel panic. Things like "binary is called BusyBox" are on that list.
This was the point I gave up. Partially because I don't have the device so testing is extremely difficult (I wised up this year and purchased a intl. Snapdragon sm-g9650 which has full oem unlock just like the exy).
In sure there's things in forgetting right now and again, being too transparent here results in root method bring patched faster, hit me up if you want more brain dump

Although I have seen a lot worse on these threads, his comment was pretty negative, which is what we do not need in this thread. I wish people would just keep their thoughts to themselves if they have nothing to add to the discussion. I also will test so let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
i also have a g965u and have been trying various mwthods to no avail at this point.. we need new exploits to be found.. all the obvious stuff will not work

You cannot buy Exynos from a carrier. You have to buy directly from Samsung for that. I know because I requested a Exynos variant. Sprint said they couldn't (or wouldn't) give me one.

i talked to samsung a couple months ago before i got my s9 and they told me they wont sell you one directly with the Exynos. I was going to get the s8 with the exynos if they would of sold me one. They wouldn'ty so i bought a tmobile s9 with my carrier.
has anyone been able to reboot phone into edl mode?
I have looked around the internet and finally found over on a sprint forum some sad news about rooting. So in the case most of you are unaware, the US models for the Galaxy s9 have had their OEM Unlock(Bootloader unlock) option disabled. I finally found the reason why on an old post back from the Galaxy s8. Please don't harp on me that its a different phone because its the concept discussed that actually gives the real reason why vendors like sprint have disabled the option!
"Link to below quote: community.sprint.com/t5/Samsung-Board/OEM-Unlock-option-is-gone/td-p/965240"]https://community.sprint.com/t5/Samsung-Board/OEM-Unlock-option-is-gone/td-p/965240:
"Quoted from Community manager, seawolf's post!"
Re: OEM Unlock option is gone
First of all, wow @zahale! its my job to be somewhat aware of our current population and to keep an eye out for knowledgeable posters (we like to try to make those people Advocates, like @DJ_Damjano and @Fireguy_6364). I have run across several of your comments in this space lately and you're definitely above the curve when it comes to technical device knowledge and experience. I'm kind of following you around now just to learn Smiley Wink
I was pretty sure I knew why Sprint locks down developer options but I put the question to some of my device folks in conversation yesterday. The explanation probably won't be something you like, but hopefully, it'll be something you can understand. Unfortunately, as with many things, knowing why also won't change anything but you asked a fair question and I wanted to try to give you a fair answer.
Sprint locks things like boot loaders down to control the average customer experience and to prevent a novice user from accidentally damaging the device or negatively affecting performance. While technically such a change isn't Sprint's fault, I can tell you from experience from when I was in customer service that most customers think it is and correcting the problem, if its possible, can be a challenge at best.
Unfortunately, this is an all or nothing kind of situation. We either leave it open for everyone or we lock it down for everyone. Since we can't customize the experience based on user knowledge, we try to optimize it for the novice, which means some of the more advanced setting areas on the phone are locked down.
This is clearly important to you and I can understand why. With this particular phone there isn't anything we can do on our end to unlock the developer options for one individual. When you are ready to upgrade again, you might want to look for factory unlocked versions of the phones you like or OEMs that leave theirs unlocked (although that's harder to verify). In this case, the developer options are not locked down in the factory unlocked versions of the S8 and S8+.

I encourage you to post your questions on the community, give Kudos when earned and always mark the correct answer as "Accepted Solution".
Like SeaWolf states, it is just easier after your contract is done to just buy a OEM unlockable version. They do this for customer based reasons to make a novice experience for all users so that new users can't brick their phone on accident messing with settings. Sorry all but OEM unlocking will never be an option for g960U users.

I have been rooting and modding various and sundry devices since 2011. I find, for my purposes, the s9 doesn't need it. Of course YMMV
Good day to all,
I still have my A71 and so does my other half.
We don't use frp etc as I'm always in control with security etc.
BUT recently bought an A71 aka A715 on one ui 13 and I didn't pay attention stupidly as was rushing to get back to work, buying during lunch.
Anyhow, come to email part of it and it says I need to log in with email.
Amazingly seller blocks me.
I know an older phone but it's immaculate and little ones first phone being 10.
I have done to no avail many attempts on unlocking, but can not get debugging option.
Any wise words from many of helpful members on here that possibly has an answer.

This is not entirely true. So long as members are not admitting to any wrong doing, or other members offering paid services for "FRP" unlocks, then we give our members the
benefit of the doubt to seek a solution to their problem.
There have been several occasions where XDA Mods have made a mistake, and have had to circumvent "FRP" in order to regain access to their device.
Therefore, this discussion may continue.

If you have a computer, you can probably install Samsung USB Drivers and use SamFw to FRP unlock it. This is what i've seen people do but I genuinely don't know if it work.
I wish you luck.
(edit: I just noticed you said you tried FRP unlocking but to no avail. try maybe reflashing stock fw?)
I have flashed fresh firmware being latest.
But it appears where I have to sign in with the account used.
I assume was ex contract?
Personally we only use pay as go, always have, thus the assumption.
Tried the Samsung frp tool and looked at numerous videos.
The issue is when to press ok in the adb debugging. After test screen.
At this point, no message pops up.
Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly, it it's due to being on android 13?
Would it be a good idea to fresh flash Android 12 as there'd be more success?

I have good experience with FRP bypass, have bypassed several devices. I have worked in a phone repair shop. The bypass method depends on the Android version and security patch level. Most of the tutorials are outdated, and most free bypass tools won't even work. Also, there are some paid ones that also do not support all versions or all Samsung models.
If you see a tutorial for your device on a specific Android version or security, then you need to downgrade the version using Odin, if it is possible, because sometimes you cannot downgrade to a lower binary.
Also, progeeksblog has written an in-depth guide with all the possible solutions and, at the same time, provides an unlock service.
