This may work.

I've created ROM based on latest SM-N9005_XXUBMI7 with modified CSC
- Regional Lock has been REMOVED
- HD VOICE enabled as Standard on ALL Networks
- System & Device Status - OFFICIAL,
- After flashing - KNOX WARRANTY VOID remained 0x0!!!! Happy days! (TESTED by Guitarfreak26)
Now, who want to test it against Regional Lock?? It MUST be "Brand New phone, NOT ACTIVATED YET"...
Flash this FW first and then activate with foreign SIM card.. It should be "Lock FREE"
DOWNLOADS: <<< Android Host >>>
Please report!!

Dear cummunity,
so far i personally have a Moto G5plus which i bought without sim-lock so i can use any cell phone provider here (in austria). I'm using it with LineageOS and I'm quite happy with that.
Now i got a used Samsung S7 Enge for my nephew which is sim-locked to a specific provider and of course sadly my nephew has a sim card of another provider.
I think first i have to remove that lock. In developer options i set that "allow OEM unlock" (i have the german version but i trhink you know what i mean) to yes.
How do I preceed now?
With Samsung i think (after simlock is removed) i can use Odin tools to flash TeamWin and after that install LineageOS?
Thx
LeMa
I don't know about that but maybe a custom ROM could help. Also, this is the wrong forum.

Hi,
I have same issue. I also tried the time and date method but I am unable to see the oem unlock button. My device is SM-G955W.
Will the same method work for me too?

There is no OEM unlock for you. It is permanent locked. No way around that's it. Done. Root method system only. And converted to a U model
Hi,
Is there a way to root without OEM unlock.
If so can you let me know.
Thank you

Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955F (SCV35)
Hello, I bought a Samsung S8 + from a German ebay dealer with the following software combination as a so-called new device:
G955FXXS5DSH5 / G955FXSA5DSFB / SCV35KDU1CSF4. The S8 + worked, but there were no further security updates
possible. The last one was from 06/01/2019.
According to the IMEI website, it is a device for the Japanese market: G955F Galaxy S8+ (SCV35) (au is on the back). On the S8 + I now have the original one Version SCV35KDU1CSF4 flashed with Odin:
Result: It works, but apart from the Asian languages and Portuguese, only the English language selection is possible.
For this special case there is the possibility to flash a version (possibly as a combination above) to the device
to use in german language?
Note: Apparently a Snapdron has been installed here.

No this thread is for the us models
First: Before making this thread, i looked at many post here, and its seems trough trial and error that what worked for other people with US version of the phone dont work for mine. SO with that in mind, i own my phone for 3 years now, its a canadian version of the galaxy s8, which is SM-G950W. The option for "OEM UNLOCK" dont show in dev option. I looked on the internet, and the solution seems to be about the 7 days blabla... found it was dumb since i have the phone for 3 years, but i gave it a shot, and it did nothing... my goal is to root my device any help about oem unlock OR a way to root it without oem unlock (which is impossible in my mind with a locked bootloader) would be very appreciate! thanks a lot.

No us or Canadian model have OEM unlock. There is no bootloader unlock. That's that no way around there is a system only root method if you look up extreme syndicate
I am looking for help on rooting my phone SM-G950U1.
I have been trying to follow tutorials online, but they all seem to require "OEM Unlock" in developer options. I do not have that option visible to me.

I have a note 8 so I'm unfamiliar with the s8 model numbers but I believe you have a US variant which unfortunately can't be rooted which is why you won't see the OEM toggle.
