S20FE SM-G780/DS Unlock Bootloader - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've done any modding so I apologize if my questions are trivial.
I just bought an S20FE SM-G780/DS 4G (Snapdragon) and am trying to unlock the bootloader. I've enabled developer options, oem unlock, press the volume keys, plug in the cable and get to donwload mode.
But once there no option appears to unlock the bootloader, it just says to press volume down + power key to reboot the phone.
And so how can I unlock the bootloader, I've read dozens of guides, some give really bad advice, some never describe my situation?

Solved:
pressing volume up + volume down + power button, holding all three down simultaneously!
Then I see to option to unlock!

Power Button not working in hboot/bootloader unlock

On my M8 H/K, the PWR button isn't being recognised while in hboot and such. It works to boot the phone up, wake & lock screen, etc. Just not in hboot or anything pre-boot.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader & s-off so I can unlock it to use with T-Mobile. My VOL UP button is dead, VOL DOWN button works perfectly, but eh PWR button doesn't work in hboot or selecting Yes to unlock the bootloader (I even had to use adb to reboot the phone into bootloader since it won't let me boot with PWR + VOL DOWN.
Anything I can do ?

They will if you get everything done right. Had a few Sprint phones on T-Mobile & Straight Talk.
Still need to unlock the bootloader & s-off and so on anyways.

2 ways:
1. Boot into recovery by pressing Volume Up + Bixby button then Power button. In the recovery menu select bootloader and this will take you to Download Mode
2. Press Volume Down + Bixby button then connect the USB cable.

Power off your device
Hold volume up+down + power button for 10-15 seconds
You will get 3 options
Recovery
Fastboot
Normal
Use your power up button to navigate and select fastboot
That's it I guess

Even I got my hands on this device today afternoon
My mom was complaining about lag issues with memeui 12.5
So I decided to unlock the device.
I guess there's no way to bypass 168 hours wait time to unlock the bootloader

Recovery Keypress Not Working (Android 12)

Howdy, folks. I'm having some trouble getting A12 to enter the stock bootloader mode. Seems the Pwr/Vol+/Bixby combination is no longer working. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Hello Bill Lechat
Use low vol + bixby + USB cable plugged into a PC to boot the phone into download mode
Long press vol up then confirm you want to unlock the bootloader (this is only needed once)

Yes, I was able to do that and successfully unlock the bootloadfer, but I am not able to boot to recovery via the old method of keypress only. Is there a new sequence?
