So, I accidentally pressed OEM unlocking to off. I have one question, do I have to unlock it again via fastboot or is it okay to just press the same button to "on" mode again. And yes I have unlocked it once via fastboot.
Left this here just to make sure.
Thanks for everyone!
You're fine, if the bootloader is already unlocked that toggle will do nothing, in fact many times after unlocking the bootloader the toggle will be grayed out since it serves no purpose once the bootloader is unlocked. The switch by itself will not lock or unlock the bootloader, it's just a security measure.
The default off setting prevents someone, for example someone who stole your phone who can't access the OS when you have a pin/password to be able to unlock the bootloader thus being able to wipe the phone and being able to claim it as their own.
it is getting flashed every time I unlock or lock the bootloader. Below are the steps I took to lock and unlock.
1) Enabling the developer options.
2) Enabling OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
3) Entered the fast boot mode and used "fastboot oem unlock" command to unlock the device after this command the phone gets unlocked but it erases(factory reset) all the data of the phone.
I was trying to install the magisk manager.

Looks like you haven't been on xda for the last month or two, or didn't do a little research before unlocking bootloader.
After May Security update, unlocking process factory resets the phone. You need to hold down volume down buton before executing oem lock command. Search on xda for proper instructions.

thank you
I will do some more research.
Hello,
I have a unbranded 8227L running 8.1. In the past I have been able to successfully unlock the bootloader, but now I can't figure out how to get past the warning message. I check the box for oem unlock
in dev settings, then while temp root in place I reboot into bootloader. Then I run fastboot oem unlock, which presents me with the warning that my data will be wiped and to hit volume up to accept. For my life,
I can't remember how to get past this. I only have a volume knob, not a button to push.
Anyone have any ideas?
The s10 Plus is a very good phone but I really can't help with rooting this phone. I had one and it was also a T mobile and when I bought it was already unlocked.

On my s10 unlocking Bootloader was the following. 1. Enable OEM Unlock as usual
2. Go to Download mode. By holding power and vol down
Volume Up To finalize unlock and wipe phone data
3. Go to developer settings again and tap OEM Unlock again for it to grey out and unlock the bootloader indefinetly
Imma need a bit of assistance here. I have been trying to get into Download (DL) mode while pressing vol up + down and plugging in the cable. But it just starts charging.
I can get into DL mode through recovery but that goesn't give me an option to unlock bootloader. Of course, OEM unlock and USB debugging are turned on. I even flashed the latest firmware A205FXXSBCVI2.
I was trying to odin flash custom recovery image which doesn't complete and on DL screen it says, Custom image (boot) blocked by OEM lock. I have unlocked a lot of phones before but I guess I never had to unlock a Samsung bootloader!
Thanks in advance.
This should work:
The following steps WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE
1. Enable Developer Options by pressing the “Build Number” option in the “Settings” app within the “About” menu
From within the Developer options menu, enable OEM unlock.
3. Power off the device, and boot it into download mode:
With the device powered off, hold Volume Up + Volume Down and connect USB cable to PC.
Now, hold down the “Volume Up” button until you see the “Unlock bootloader” screen.
Then press the “Volume Up” button once to unlock the bootloader.
7. Your device will reboot twice and erase your data, you may now unplug the USB cable from your device.
8. Run through Android Setup skipping everything you can.
9. Re-enable Development settings by clicking the “Build Number” option 7 times, in the “Settings” app within the
“About” menu, and verify that “OEM Unlock” is enabled and greyed out in the “Developer options” menu.
If you have any problems, let me know.

I'm having the same issue did you got it to work
Nope. I don't have access to that phone for the time being. But I came accross a point that we need to plug in the audio cable on new Samsung phones to get that unlock option.
Haven't tried yet though.

Not resolved! OEM unlock is enabled in developer settings. But still unable to get unlock bootloader option
