Can't find OEM Unlock Button

[turret001]

Hello, I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with following specs:

(Snapdragon 835, Bootloader: N9500ZHU6DSK2)

Odin keeps failing when I try to AP this version of TWRP: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote8snapdragon.html



I think it's the "OEM Unlock" blocking me from flashing TWRP but I can't find OEM Unlock button anywhere in developer settings. I've tried following this guide but OEM Unlock did not appear.

Here is what ODIN shows when I try to flash TWRP https://imgur.com/raTPoPA

also I got these texts on my Download Mode screen:

The TWRP you are trying to flash is for the N950F only.

The thread below is for your device, make sure to read the whole OP. Too, make sure you understand what rooting will do, Samsung pay etc will no longer work

I can't help you further as it is not a device I am aware of how to root.

Try using the search function on the thread I posted with the issue you face, or ask for assistance there.

I understand, thank you.

I understand, thank you.

you have to wait 168 hours with the phone on (no reboots) and then the toggle will appear in dev settings

alright, guess I'll wait for that and reply. thanks!

you bet. that was the method a while ago at least. also, look for zip files you can flash in TWRP to make it to where that stupid 168 hour thing never pops up again. I think it was called the Chimera tool or something like that. and be sure to use the thanks button when someone helps you

Completely forgot about the OEM lock not showing, I am dying from man flu!

There is a trick to make it appear in the thread below, it has worked for me in the past but it is hit and miss and may take a few attempts.

as I've said before, I have tried doing that 'fix' but it did not help me unfortunately. Also, I don't have "download updates automatically" button, I only have "Auto download over WI-FI" button on software updates settings. By the way, get well soon!

Did you figure out how to enable the OEM unlock option? I have the exact same problem.
