Have just bought a Galaxy Tab S5e SM-T725 and my intention was to flash TWRP and Lineage 18.1 for microG. Actually the device runs Android 11 stock. Think maybe the problem starts that in Developer Options I cannot even find "OEM unlocking" option, so cannot switch the option and allow the unlocking. When I go in Download mode there's no way to start unlocking the bootlader. Any thoughts? Thanks to anyone in advance.
Found the sol, I post it for helping who get stucked like me. The problem is that lately in many Samsung deviced The "OEM unlocking" appears in Developer Options menu only at least 7 days after you activated or reset the device, but HERE there's a guide on how to force that time so to solve instantanealy.

I've been searching a lot, I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE (GM-G935F)
When i try to install TWRP with Odin, the device blocks the installation, have you found a way for unlock the bootloader??

Hey,
Device Information:
* Samsung Galaxy S8 Exynos
* SM-G950FD
* G950FXXU1CRC7
My "Up Time" in "About Phone" > "Status" is over 185 hours. I didn't shut down or restart my phone at all during those 7 days and "Developer Options" was always on.
Context:
2 weeks ago, after waiting 7 days, I was able to enable "OEM Unlock". I then tried to root but messed up a step so I had to re-install an official firmware.
1 week ago, with that official firmware (G950FXXU1CRAP), I didn't get "OEM Unlock" in my settings even after 7 days. So I updated my firmware to G950FXXU1CRC7.
Yesterday, after 7 days of up time with the new firmware, I still don't have an "OEM Unlock" options.
When I go into Download Mode, the text reads "OEM Lock off", however, when I tried to flash TWRP on G950FXXU1CRAP two weeks ago, it told me that I could only flash official firmwares.
Can someone please help me figure out what's going on?
Same problem here. Everything OP mentioned is what my same senario is. Up time is 188 hours with no OEM unlock showing and on latest CREG firmware. Also needed to re flash stock due to binary error.
Download mode also showing OEM unlock "OFF"
I seen the recommendation is to turn USB debugging and OEM lock off under developer options to play fortnite on our device with magisk. What I was wondering is with my bootloader unlocked, which it is, I can uncheck OEM lock, but would it be okay after a reboot? I just didn't want to uncheck it, and then get stuck or not be able to boot. I was curious if someone might have tried already. Thx
By the way for anyone wanting to know, I turned OEM unlock off w/ a unlocked bootloader & device successfully booted up with switch still in off position.
I bought a used Galaxy Tab S5e model SM-T725 and am trying to enable the OEM unlock option, but no matter what I try it just doesn't show up in the developer options. I followed several guides on how to make the option available but none have succeeded.
Does anyone have an idea on how to get it to show up?
The tablet is running Android 11.
I am trying to figure out how I can enable the OEM Unlock option in a SM-T387W? It's a Fido (Canadian carrier) Galaxy tab A 8.0 running Android 10. Enabling dev options doesn't let me see the OEM Unlock switch, even after doing the date trick and rebooting. Any help would be appreciated.
