use this instead of samfirm ( it's pretty much out of date) to download latest firmware. It just a PC tool for downloading samsung firmware. Quicker than going through website like Sammobile or updato.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I tried your method but it didn't work, can you explain better?

Also I'm gonna try the 7 days method to see if works, I have a Samsung J600-FN Android 10.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nqnxev:
This method should work fine, but it's needed to use that method and show that OEM button twice - at first time to enable "OEM Unlock" toggle, and second time to actually unleash bootloader (after that it should show that "bootloader is already unlocked").
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have the button available but still shows KG State: prenormal on download mode
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nqnxev:
But is it enabled and greyed-out? You should make that "date & time" trick once again after enabling "OEM Unlock" toggle. Also, for me helped just updating firmware to latest version via OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have the option available and I can enable it, the phone is updated. I'm doing the 7 days method first, if doesn't work I try your method again. The method to change the data and time 7 days after only works on Android 8 and not Android 10.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nqnxev:
If you have already enabled the "OEM Unlock" toggle (and wiped when system asked for that), then you still need to do "date & time" trick once again to unleash bootloader. You have to do it two times.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Let me see if I understand

1. Enable OEM

2. Wipe the device

3. Change date and time

4. Reboot

5. Removed prenormal mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nqnxev:
If in download mode you have already "OEM = OFF" but "KG State = Prenormal", then reboot to system and again:

1. Disable internet (wi-fi and eject sim cards) or just don't connect to internet if your phone is straight after factory reset.

2. Disable automatic date & time and set date 1-2 months back.

3. Reboot.

4. Enable internet (insert sim or enable wi-fi).

5. Go to settings and check for updates (date of last update check must show that fixed date after that).

6. Disable internet and eject sim.

7. Reboot.

8. Set current date again.

9. Enable wi-fi and insert sim.

10. Go to settings, check for updates (it now have to show current date as last checked).

11. Reboot.

12. Go to Developer options and check if your "OEM Unlock" button is present. If it's present then just check if it is enabled and has text "Bootloader already unlocked". If OEM Unlock toggle doesn't show, then go back, and go again to Developer Options, and again back, and again to Developer options, and again back - you have to force it that way sometimes to show.

When your "OEM Unlock" toggle shows "Bootloader already unlocked", then KG State should be now "Checking" or whole KG State line in download mode should disappear.

wich android version do you have?. android 9 and april 2021 security update?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3to4:
Hello,

My problem is a little different, but related to KG state. SO, I am posting in the hope that someone can give me some information.

Well, I have G715FN(Android 12). So, my bootloader was unlockable. I was able to unlock my bootloader without waiting for 7 days.

I tried to install a TWRP several times, but it always failed. This is the first time I try to install a TWRP for a recent Galaxy (My other phone are Note 3!!) So, I did not know there was this problem of KG state..

In fact, in Download mode, my screen displays "KG state: Checking, FRP:Offf and OEM lock: OFF (U)" .

I searched a lot, and found guides to bypass or change KG state: Prenormal (maybe it becomes "completed", they don't say...) On the other hand, I read somewhere that as long as KG state is "checking", you cannot flash any custom rom, but after some use, the phone becomes "flashable". So, my question is to which condition KG state changed when the phone becones "flashable". Is there something I should do to make the phone flashable? If someone has some information, I would really appreciate.

PS: I used my phone for 2 or 3 days with Wifi ON. Then, I checked KG state in Download mode, and I saw the line KG: Checking had disappeared. So, I tried to flash a rom, and it worked!! That was the first time I was successful in flashing something to this phone. It booted. So, I tried to install TWRP, and it did not work *vbmeta error". And, the phone got stuck in Download mode. So, I flashed a stock rom to recover. I am on my second trial... I mean "waiting". I hope the KG state line will disappear..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kilroi:
I discovered that after removing the OEM Lock the KG state in the dowbload mode was prenormal. As long as the status is prenormal it's not possible to flash TWRP. I started the device in system mode and saw the device starting updates from Google. I let it installing 17 apps and went back to download mode, The KG state changed to check. Flashing TWRP with Odin was no problem..

I ordered an AT&T Tilt last week and I'm waiting for it to arive. I've been reading the forums a lot the past few days and learning about the Kaiser and some of the thins that I can do. However, I've came to one conclusion. There is just way too much stuff out there about tweaking this phone, ROMs, and software for the phone.

What I'm looking for is some kind of guide for newbies on things to do to the Kaiser/Tilt when I first get it. The best that I've found is this site. Are there any other sites on things to tweak? Software to install that are must installs? Any settings to change? Any info on where to start would be appreciated.

Thanks.

With so many here experiencing problems with the previous update(s), it's hard to distinguish which threads are for it, custom, or for the latest Xiaomi update. Did you update to Pie in January? Are there any issues you've noticed with the update? Should I pull the trigger on the update or wait?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] KB_Thailand:
I understand. I've not experienced many of the issues some have with the updates, though the battery issues a few updates ago were driving me crazy. Those seem to be resolved now and I can easily get 2 to 3 days out of a charge. The only reason I hesitated was I read some of the threads from the initial update Xiaomi put out, and was trying to be sure this one was less troublesome before allowing it. I saw a couple of folks complain about the loss of WiFi and Data on the first update, so perhaps all of the initial bugs haven't been squashed. I'm in Thailand, so need it to be as clean as possible.
