I am somewhat new to this but I can't find any solution to this problem from all the guides out there. I've had my s10+ snapdragon since may 2019, and only recently decided that I wanted to root my phone. The guides for rooting all have a instructions to enable usb debugging (done) and OEM unlocking. However there is no option in the developer settings to toggle OEM unlocking. Other guides say to turn back the system clock to june 2019 to have the OEM unlock option to reappear but when I restart, the date is turned bacl to the last update that I installed (august 2020) and no OEM unlocking toggle.
So it looks like they patched out the OEM unlocking by making it impossible to set the time before that security patch.
Is there another way to root? Or a way to bypass the need for this option? (Maybe im just not understanding how it works enough to proceed without OEM unlocking)

The only way to root a U.S. galaxy s10 or s10 plus is to pay a guy in China to unlock the bootloader. There is no other way.

How does one find this man in china?
I am not sure. There used to be info on it here on XDA, but it has since been deleted. There was app too you could use to buy the service, but it's gone as well.

So basically, I got a S10+ SM-G975U Snapdragon in March and had it until October, when it cracked and the screen broke. However, the phone still functioned but didn't respond to touch, so with the help of a USB-C dongle, an HDMI cable and some...

Don't believe it's an option. Which variant?

The Note 4 on Sprint was recently updated to add Factory Reset Protection, like the S6 and S6 Edge. With the S6 and S6 Edge updates, the bootloader got locked in order to enforce FRP. HOWEVER, Samsung actually added a toggle somewhere in Settings that said "Allow OEM Unlock", which lets you flash things normally like before the update. It's just another layer of protection.

I see the Oem unlocking option in Developer options, when I enable it I get a pop up box if I tap turn on it doesn't do anything.. The funny thing is when I tap cancel it enables the option when I exit the developer options and then reopen it, the Oem unlocking option is unchecked. Any ideas?
Btw, can we downgrade from Dok2 to kitkat if this option is enabled?

I'm unlocked and don't get that message past the initial unlock. My gut says you didn't enable the "Settings-Developers Options->OEM Unlock" toggle before unlocking. I followed the instructions in the "OnePlus 5: Unlock Bootloader | Flash TWRP | Root | Nandroid & EFS Backup & More !!" and it worked without the issue your mentioning.
I get the same message on my OP5 I could have sworn I turned on OEM unlock when I unlocked the bootloader. Hmm I am curious how I can get rid of the message at startup without bricking my phone lol will wait a bit until a tutorial posts up

I was dead wrong as I get that screen also. It seems that everyone that unlocked the bootloader gets such a screen at boot time. I read a post that said it was forced by Google on Nougat so that an altered (unlocked bootloader) phone was seen by the phone's user. I also read that it also happened on the OP 3T but they eventually found a way around it.
Sorry for my misleading post but when I rebooted before I must have been looking away so had not seen it.
I grabbed the package through Charles and found that it is likely to be an OEM lock verified by the interface

Care to elaborate? I don't think people really understand what you mean. So you want to "OEM unlock" a Verizon Pixel 2XL. How are you going to do that? I have personally tried the "uninstall phone app" method and was able to toggle the "OEM Unlock" but it's does nothing and reverted to 'disabled' when you enter the bootloader. There is only two ways to do this; Verizon themselves unlock the phone (which they said they wouldn't), or hacking into the device (which for some phone require hardware hack to work). Now you're saying you find another way? What have you discovered? What help do you need exactly?
@lishenghui trying to understand it, googled some words from your post, still didn't get it actually. Are you requesting some files from already rooted Pixel 2 XL users to unlock Pixel 2 XL Verizon?

Need some help. Was working on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 and dropped it for a while due to other things coming up in my life (went to hospital for COVID). Anyway, I was working on rooting this Verizon Samsung S5 and when I powered it up, it looks like this.
Anyone know what I'm looking at and how I need to move forward? Should I just start all over? I see the instructions in the forum for that. Should I just start over? Thanks in advance.
I rooted the S5 by buying the Tmobile version as it's way superior and it's close to the G900F.

If you have a CID11 S5 (which you can check by downloading EMMC BrickBug Check on the google play store (or apk)), you are screwed as there is no bootloader unlock for that version of S5. I know as I have this exact model.

Thanks. I think I will save myself the headache and just skip trying to root this device.
A good friend of mine gave me his T-Mobile SG S8, SM-G950U after he got his S10e.
I just wanted to confirm that there is absolutely nothing, as far as rooting, that I can do with this?
By all the rooting these phones posts I've looked over, I'm screwed, right?
The bootloader is locked and no OEM option in Developer Options.

Incorrect. It can be rooted on a nougat rom only without unlocking bootloader using JR Kruse's newer method. Bootloader is locked, so no custom ROM, etc.
You can have root, safestrap recovery, etc. on nougat. If you just need safestrap, you can get it with a Pie rom, but no root on Pie.
