[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] htxosku8:
Status OEM Unlocked after emailing, uk.president@samsung.com.

Hey all with the help of the tread shared above,

I sent the email with the following details below all as screenshots only. I never got a response however the OEM was unlocked within a few days. I'm guessing because they had everything they needed they didn't delay by having to communicate or request for more info. My device is currently on finance and has not yet been paid off! Check below what I had included in the email...

- Email Subject "Bootloader is locked KG status 01?"

- Email Body "Hi I've purchased my Samsung Device since February 2023. Currently my Device does not have OEM unlock available and I had ordered my device directly from Samsung Unlocked, purchase order attached also. Currently my Knox Guard status is active? Please remove the active status.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter, I have provided screenshots, of about phone, device info, software info, current software update, order info/number, trade-in info/number."

Attachments (will not share here)

- screenshot of order number from Samsung website

- screenshot trade-in complete email confirmation + number

- screenshot my device serial number and IMEI (of course blurring the personal stuff)

- screenshot of OEM unlock missing from developer settings

- screenshot of software version information section

- screenshot software last update scree

After this I was successfully able to unlock bootloader and use Magisk with root however had to revert back to stock since bank apps would not work as it seems they now check for unlocked Bootloader. Of course Knox tripped however does not bother me.

WARNING (for those who don't know)

Locking and unlocking bootloader will factory reset your device so back up your data. Do not attempt to tamper if you do not know what your doing or do not intend to modify android experience.

Attempting to lock bootloader while running modified software (Magisk) will get you stuck on bootloader download mode - only fix reinstall OEM firmware using ODIN or command lines on windows.

After OEM unlocking your successfully able to unlock bootloader (Permanent loss off, Samsung Pass, Samsung Wallet)

- Knox will be tripped affecting following to not work...Galaxy Wearable, Samsung Cloud, Samsung Flow, Samsung Health, Samsung Health Monitor, Secure Folder, Secure Wi-Fi, Smart View, Private Share, Samsung Pass, Samsung Wallet

- Following could start working with Magisk mods... , Samsung Cloud, Samsung Flow, Samsung Health, Samsung Health Monitor, Secure Folder, Secure Wi-Fi, Smart View, Private Share

- Following will not work at all after going back to OEM firmware and locked bootloader... Samsung Flow, Samsung Health, Samsung Health Monitor, Secure Folder, Secure Wi-Fi, Smart View, Private Share, Samsung Pass, Samsung Wallet

- Samsung Updates will no longer work! Until going back to OEM firmware and locked bootloader. If you want to update on modified software then there are steps however if not followed correctly you could loose your data or worse brick your phone

- Bank Apps will stop working, some bank apps may work after a few Magisk mods however not guaranteed. Bank apps will work going back to OEM firmware and locked bootloader

- You could get Google Wallet working with mods. After going back to OEM firmware and locked bootloader as a result Google Wallet and all Google apps will work as normal

In terms of Safety Net only possible at the moment to pass BASIC however after going back to OEM firmware and locked bootloader it will pass as normal HARDWARE BACKED. If you plan on using LSPosed unfortunately this will trigger Safety Net Fail and you need this for the Magisk Knox mod.

Like to let me know I helped. Best of luck.
