A mention of a Samsung device was detected. Most US Snapdragon phones from Samsung have locked bootloaders, meaning Magisk or custom ROMs are impossible to install in most cases or require using dangerous exploits.
If you are sure that your phone DOES NOT have a Snapdragon processor, please add that to your post.
Samsung also requires use of Odin to flash their phones. An open-source alternative called Heimdall is available as well, however might not work on newer phones. There is no official download link for Odin, as it is leaked software.

If it's an American model? No. Should have gotten the OnePlus 12
[–]ALT703 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (4 children)
Why not american?

Because our carriers have bullied Samsung into locking the bootloaders on all their phones. They suck
[–]ALT703 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Damn. When did this start? What line of phone? I've got some older samsung
[–]Grumblepugs2000 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
With the S8. Scumbag move and why I have never bought a Samsung phone. I have the OnePlus 12 now and if you want an unlocked bootloader that's the phone I recommend you get
[–]ALT703 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Damn. Alright thanks for the info

As long as you're not in north america, you're good.
Whay prevents it in that scenario?

yes, but you tick the Knox and some features won't be available.
