How "lock" or "relock" my samsung SM-T510 bootloader?
im getting annoyed by the message when it boots
I would like to know how to do this as well after flashing stock firmware in Odin, the option to toggle off OEM unlocking is grayed out. Any help would be awesome!

You can't choose the OEM lock until you re-lock the bootloader. You do that the same way you unlocked it. But be warned, it does a factory reset also, which means you have to go through the whole setup proceedure again. BTW, it is unlocking the bootloader that causes the message, not the OEM lock. Also, do you know that you don't have to wait for that message to disappear on it own. If you tap the power button when it appears, it goes away without the delay.

The OEM lock is grayed out. I have factory reset everything. Through Odin and device. I just want the bootloader locked again and reversing this procedure does not work. Not worried about erasing the device I've already downloaded the 2 to 3 hour 2.3GB file I pushed through Odin

Did you actually read my post. OEM and bootloader locks are two entirely different things. When you first unlocked your tablet, there were two steps involved. FIRST, you had to enable developer mode and turn on OEM enable. THEN, you had to unlock the bootloader by holding the proper buttons when powering up. To relock, you have to do that in reverse. First relock the bootloader,using the same buttons you did to unlock, and then, and only then, you can disable OEM. And the second step is optional. You don't have to disable OEM to get rid of the message.
Edit: And "reversing the procedure" does work if you do it right. It is the ONLY way to relock the bootloader and I have done it. So I know it works.
reedit: OK, I just did it again on my T510. Turn the tablet off. Plug the cable into the PC but NOT the tablet. Hold both the vol up and down buttons and then plugin the cable from the PC. When the green screen appears, release the buttons and then press and hold the vol up till the next screen appears. IT WORKS!

No I do NOT mean download/fastboot mode. Go back and research how to UNLOCK the bootloader. IT DOES NOT USE FASTBOOT. You DO NOT use fastboot to unlock Samsung devices. And "factory reset" via Odin is meaningless. You don't use Odin to unlock the bootloader either. BTW, Samsung and most other reputable tablet makers, intentionally make it hard to unlock their devices because it is a serious security risk if you don't know what you are doing. Do you know what you are doing?

I actually do know what I am doing as a matter of fact. I rooted all of our devices in this household including friends and family. Some of them are in my signature. You don't have to be a dbag about someone asking for help. Yes, I read your posts too, even after all your edits. I got it finally so I guess thanks for all of your generous replies to point me in the right direction. Have a nice day!

I apologise for getting snappy but I was starting to get frustrated trying to point out that the OEM lock wasn't the problem and that the "buttons" did work.
Thanks Lewmur
Just wanted to pop on and say thanks lewmur, I was getting sick of not being able to update and singe I bought a Galaxy S9+ I cant root that, might as well keep them both stock and use "altered" apk install files. I was not sure if it was possible to relock the bootloader, now I know lol, so thanks.
I have a TAB S6 running Android 10. Bootloader is unlocked and OEM switch IS NOT grayed out. I went into DL mode and all I saw was the same thing as when I unlocked the TAB in the first place. Anything special I need to do to re-lock this baby.

...Like you said, your instructions do work! But i think folk are getting confused in your last sentence...
..."When the green screen appears, release the buttons and then press and hold the vol up till the next screen appears. IT WORKS!"
with the term " 'hold' the vol up" you use - instead of 'Long Press' the middle Volume button option on the screen!
This method by Long Pressing Volume Up button will get you to the three options screen which asks if you want to lock your Tab...

Are you able to access recovery at all? If your able to access recovery try preforming a factory reset to see if you can get past the boot animation. Also check out this information that may be helpful.

Always glad to hear that I was able to help someone out, but I'm always especially happy when I can help someone un-brick there device.
so the deal here is...
so once your in bootloader, hit recovery, then you will see the little dead droid with the triangle... this is where it gets tricky...
keep tapping ( DONT HOLD) the power and volume left ( dunjno which is up or down, so i say left, the one close to the power key)., or in somke cases just mash all the buttons till the menu pops up! then click wipe data then wipe cache and the device reboots itself... give it a try!
i dont knwo why the recovery menu doesnt pop up unjtil u keep pressing volume up/down and power buttons, just keep tapping them in the recovery menu weith the android triangle and u should see the menu pop up

Very interesting to know, maybe you should make a thread in the general section with your findings so other people can easily find this useful information as this seems to be a common problem people run into.

I've actually heard that it's a fastboot problem (with the tool, not the firmware on your device). Downloading the latest version of platform-tools solved this particular problem in a hurry for me, and it's probably best practice in the long run.
Is there something I can do in this situation except i don't have stock recovery installed?
Nevermind had a moment
Hello everyone,
I found a nexus 7 on a second hand website for 20 euro's.
In the tekst he sayd that the nexus dos'nt boot up after upgrading the firmware update.
So i thought its possible to try to fix it.
If i start the nexus 7 i get the google screen with in the right top the tekst start.
if i push the power button the nexus restarts and shows the same screen again.
I can swith between start, reboot bootloader, recovery mode ecs. but all dos'nt work if i push the power button.
When i try to start the bootloader that works fine but when i try to unlock it, i get the screen with the security warning and i can select yes to unlock it or no.
But when i again push the power button it reboots and nothing happens, the nexus is'nt unlock.
Is there a another way to do this or is it ready to trow in the garbige?
Is there maybe a acript that automticly push yes in the unlock bootloader screen?
Sorry for my bad english.
Best regards.

Cf Autoroot automatically unlocks the bootloader if it is locked: http://download.chainfire.eu/295/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-grouper-nakasi-nexus7.zip
worth the try. Try to flash the latest factory image after that
I tryed that one, but if i run it i get the unlock bootloader screen where i must select yes or no to unlock, but there i get stuck because if i push the power button to enter he reboots and i get that screen again.
Is there no solution to enter "Yes" in de unlock bootloader screen without using the power button or is there a script / program that auto write / flash the nexus 7, because i can't still flash that damn thing.
Asus must use another program to bring back the ship that is in the nexus, is there no thread or something that handles that problem without sending it to repair it.
so I have a Samsung galaxy A205U and some people say its possible to do root and unlock BL and twrp burt and some say its not but if someone could help with this please let me know I am currently trying to do this with odin because I don't know if it has a locked BL or not so any help would be appreciated ,Thanks!:good:

Brah its so easy to unlock oem!
I'm so shocked and surprised that you guys haven't figured out how to unlock bootloader. Aren't you guys like the smartest computer wizards alive? Anywho... Ok kid this is how you unlock oem and will allow you to install any os you want.
Step one: power off your phone.
Step two: when you power off your phone and at the moment that your screen turns black press down and hold:
Step 3: Press both volume buttons at the same time, then after you feel the phone vibrate one time immediately...
"without lifting your fingers off of the two volume buttons" press and hold the power button.
Step 4: As you continue to hold down all three buttons at the same time.
The phone will vibrate, then it will take you to a green screen that states that installing a new operating system will erase your data, or void your warranty, or something like that.
Step 5: press the Volume Up Key to accept the consequences.
When you restart the phone will download an update which will allow oem unlock option to appear in Developer Mode Options.
Step 6
Go to about phone, then scroll down to Software Information, then click on Build Number 7 times. Go back to Settings and scroll all the way to the bottom and access developer options. Then scroll down until you see oem unlock. Check for notification of the update finishing.
Do all of this by the way with the phone connected to your computer. There's like a couple of tutorials online that you can find on youtube and on Library.
TADA! It worked for me just fine; ya sheee?!

What you have done does NOT root the phone
You obviously have not read this section.
The 205U cannot be rooted
You can only install official updates
look here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a20/how-to/android-10-q-guide-a20-t4095589
Disregarding official methods of rooting your phone, is there any way of manually or forcibly patching or modifying the bootloader without permissions given by the manufacturer? Such as doing so by an outside terminal on a computer.
I understand the risks of bricking a phone device.

It's a 50/50 chance for rooting. Samsung may remove the rmm lock on the a20 series once our 2 year update period is over.
Or it may be like the Verizon samsung galaxy S4 which has still never been fully rooted.

Yeah. If not, we may get lucky with 11 anyway, google was talking about user signed gsi images being flashed through standard recovery, but I haven't heard much about it in a while.
Please make back up data first, because unlock bootloader is formatting data and erase all your file
Unlock Bootloader Galaxy A51:
1. Setting >> About Phone
2. Software Information
3. Tap 7 times on build number, to enable developer options.
4. Tap back 2x.
5. Sroll down, tap developer options.
6. Enable (turn on) OEM Unlocking.
7. Enable (turn on) USB Debugging.
8. Turn off the phone.
9. Press and hold Vol Up + Vol Down, and connect USB Cable to PC / laptop.
10. Entering download mode.
11. Long press vol up
12. Press vol up again to Unlock Bootloader.
13. Factory reset
14. Welcome screen
15. Done.

On my US model, I only get to step 5. Nothing after that. No OEM Unlock. Not sure who is blocking it; AT&T or Samsung or Qualcomm. So this might work in international models, but does not work on mine.

Good afternoon, can you help? And actually, what is the problem with a friend's child blocked Galaxy A51, tried to apply all the magic failed, since the developer mode is disabled and I can't turn on usb debugging, I've already tried everything to put a custom recovery and still in no way (to remove two files with blocking using Aroma fm) The path through Samsung unlock also disappears, since this beast went into flight mode after rebooting and does not turn anything on. I have already tried the very last option through attiny and otg password reseller, but it has already reached 4 minutes for one password and this method has also disappeared. I also sent it to ADB through the regular recovery, but the commands are very limited, and I didn't find anything useful either

2. Connect to PC with USB Cable and open Odin
3. Power off and reboot into Download Mode (VOL.DOWN+HOME+POWER)
4. Add twrp.zip to AP tab
where is the unlock process????????????????????
Unplug phone and power off completely. Leave USB cable plugged into computer.
Wait at least 30 seconds
Hold both Volume buttons, do NOT press Power. Plug USB cable into phone.
Phone should start with a prompt. Follow the instructions on the screen for device unlock mode.

Wait at least 30 seconds
Hold both Volume buttons, do NOT press Power. Plug USB cable into phone.
Phone should start with a prompt. Follow the instructions on the screen for device unlock mode.

if you mean the download mode where it says hold up to unlock then holding the 2 volume and plugging in is the thing u do in newer models this phone goes into download mode with vol down home and power but that option doesnt show up despite allowing it

Okay...Try holding both Volume buttons + Home, then plug the USB cable in. Again, the phone has to be shut off completely - I do not mean turning off the screen.
If this doesn't work, try holding both Volume buttons + Home, and while holding them press Power until the device turns on.
If that still doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. If OEM Unlocking is enabled in Developer Options, then one of these key combos should bring up a warning screen that gives you the option to either go into download mode, unlock the device, or cancel.

At this point, the least you could do is at least try what I've suggested, regardless of whether you think it will work. You have nothing to lose. If you're unwilling to try suggestions, there's nothing more that I or anyone else can do for you.

Once again, here's what you should try. OEM Unlocking must be enabled in Developer Options. Do not factory reset. Let me know what results you get with each suggestion. You must start with the device powered completely off.
Hold both Volume buttons, plug in USB cable
Hold both Volume buttons + Home, plug in USB cable
Hold both Volume buttons, press Power
Hold both Volume buttons + Home, press Power
One of these should work.
none worked wth
