You can't access bootloader on Samsung Devices, because, what many people call the bootloader is either fastboot mode or a menu that asks you if you want to go to recovery, reboot normally yata yata.
Samsung phones don't have fastboot, instead they use Download Mode.

There's no way to flash Fastboot into Samsung phones, their bootloader is signed by them as of 5.0 update I think.
If you want to remove FRP, just remove your google account from your phone, reboot it, then reboot it into download mode and you shouldn't have FRP enabled anymore.

Go into settings->about .. Click BUILD NUMBER 7 times to activate developer options.
Press back, then select developer options and activate Manufacturer Unlock. (May also say OEM unlock). !!!NEVER UNTICK THIS OR YOU WILL BRICK!!
Also SIGN OUT of ALL google accounts on the device
Now you can flash whatever you like.
Hope it helps!
it helped , i can't have google account anyway
fastboot was factory product
after giving it to service they installed downloadmode
how can i access boot menu ?

i added google account and frp re-enabled
Phone bricked again
i needed to reflash firmware and re-partition again
this helped but it re-enabled after adding google account
Phone Crash
Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock
in downloadmode "FRP LOCKN"
I wasn't able to access TWRP Recovery
Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock before
Boot is not seandroid enforcing
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Android is not seandroid enforcing (Cyaongen Mod)
FRP is stupid (Blocking Custom Binaries)
No Mass Storage Support is stupid too
Reactivation Lock was good (doesn't blocked custom binaries)
Those New Phone's Suck and are stupid
Old Phones was better
one phone (huawei) lollipop 5.1.1
had support for mass storage
Fastboot installed (No frp or reactivation lock)
Bootloader accessible and unlocked
I want
Access to boot menu (bootloader)
Get Back FastBoot (if possible) i'm taking all risks
mass storage (if possible) I'm taking all risks
FRP remove (if possible with google account frp lock OFF too) i take ALL RISKS

Samsung devices do not have fastboot, period. If the service centre said it had fastboot before, they lied. they have recovery mode and download mode only.
I have no idea why frp is reactivating, I have it off and I'm signed in to my Google account.
After disabling fastboot, if you refash and then refash again (with wiping everything) it's entirely possible that the flashing process itself is disabling developer mode but that's the only reason I can think of it happening.
By mass storage support I'm not understanding, you mean in twrp because it works alright on my device.
When I boot my device I get kernel is not seandroid enforcing but it boots fine after 6 seconds or so. I'm using a custom kernel that is sepermissive though
i understand.
i have only 2 questions left
Why FRP re-activates if i add google account and how can i disable FRP (That suck Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock)
HOW CAN I OPEN BOOT MENU (BOOTLOADER) i don't want to do key combinations for recovery\download\fastboot (disabled in firmware)
with google account in download mode "FRP LOCKN"
Without Google Account in download mode "FRP LOCKFF" and while it is i can flash custom firmwares
but after flash custom firmware and adding google account
Phone crash In download mode (FRP LOCKN)
Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock (Phone bricked but repairable)

After flashing a new ROM *before going back to download mode* re enable manufacturer unlock, that should do it.
Boot Menu is just another name for fastboot, which again is not available on samsung devices. Manufacturer unlock is basically unlocking the bootloader anyway?
I have no idea why your phone is reenabling it, I've never had that issue myself after deactivating it but I'm sure it's because its custom ROMs your flashing as it involves a complete device wipe, reinstalling stock over stock doesn't delete everything unless you tell it to but cyanogen and others have their own code and processes to follow so they are normally clean installs.
Hope that help's buddy, don't forget to hit the thanks button
Also, if you have a samsung account signed in, that may be the issue as with google they have security features tied to your account. After Manufacturer unlock, everthing should be do able (Including adding your google account back) so an issue with other logged in accounts is all I can think of right now in my sleep deprived state

Also known as oem unlock, under developer options in settings.
That is how you unlock the bootloader. Boot menu does not exist on Samsung devices. Only recovery, download and normal boot. With button combinations.

good to know
what can i do to frp?
FRP Lock Blocks all binaries
how to have it disabled with google account?
If frp enabled try to install any custom binary shows
Custom Binary(Recovery) Blocked By FRP Lock
the same for cyaongen mod but it's (kernel) instead of (recovery)
i cannot install kernel due to ADD google account
Phone crash and re-flash original firmware
HOW CAN I HAVE IT DISABLED WITH GOOGLE ACCOUNT last question

I have it disabled with a Google account and OEM unlock was all that was necessary.
Do a total wipe of your phone, install stock, do oem unlock, then flash whatever you want to flash before signing in to Google. If Google account is the only issue then it is an issue with your account, not your phone. Verify that you do not have any of the Google security features activated throughout your settings and account settings as this is the only logical reason your phone keeps locking up
Hello,
Me, naab - accidentally turned off OEM boot options (didn't noticed), and restarted the phone (SM-320FN).
Now I have "custom binary blocked by FRP lock" message on boot. I've been using LineageOS 13, so I can't boot it right now.
How to recover this phone? Is is possible to reflash it via Samsung Kies (to the stock FW), then I unlock OEM Boot option and reflash it again to LOS? Or can I type some magic in console via ADB?

Hi, I need help, I'm new to this and I want you to answer me: I just installed the twrp recovery on my j500m and I have flashed magisk and the non-verity-opt-encrypt file started normal but I realized that I have unlocked oem disabled, I read somewhere else that if it is not damaged it should be disable the oem unlock option but when I'm going to activate it can not be activated for more than the button to activate, I think it's because of the non-verity-opt-encript file, I do not know if this could cause a brick when I turn off the phone and turn it on again, I need help, please.
you should before flashing twrp 3.1.1.1 or other files by odin
You must open the oem lock from the developers options
and active usb debugging
Hi,
1. My plans are Magisk Root ( version 25.2 ) & then TWRP through TWRP Official App. I want to unlock the bootloader & make sure there are no related issues.
2. I see there is no option available for Unlocking OEM Bootloader in developer options on the model. Also tried the 7 days date fooling method but still no such options appear.
3. Fastboot commands are not recognized by the model.
4. And the bootloader screen tells : Qualcomm Secure Boot : Enable ( CSB ) & Secure Download : Enable
Please help!

Hi, Samsung doesn't have fastboot mode, it only has odin. I'm not sure, but I feel that there is no need to have an unlocked bootloader on a phone this old. I know it may sound ridiculous, but I also had a Samsung with android 5 and in the settings I enabled OEM unlocking and installed TWRP without problems using odin. Try it too

that setting is not available for this device. Probably, ''Qualcomm Secure Boot'' is it's place holder & the thing to disable.
One or two posts on this forum mentions Qualcomm Secure Boot ( CSB ). Even one thread briefs about unresolved booting / loading problems due to that.
I have another Samsung phone which has Oem Unlocking setting. When enabled, it says OEM Lock : OFF & FRP Lock : OFF & everything else quite clear / as desired.
Anyway, Thanks for the response!
