Question Samsung S22 OEM Option not showing up in developer settings

[MrTacticalx]

Hi all,

I have spent over 9 hours trying with ODIN, Offical and unofficial guides, Youtube tutorials and the lot, and I cannot figure this out for the life of me. So I wanted to ask anyone to ease the pain I am currently feeling. I have an international S22 (SM-S901B), and CSC is: "EUX" The option to unlock OEM is not there, yet when I boot into "Download Mode", it states, "OEM Lock: ON(L)", which indicates to me it Perma locked, is there any CSC out there that would give me the option?

In regards to this, I am getting the strangest of errors called, "Cause: Custom binary (VBMETA) blocked due to remaining instalment balance (1)" when I try flashing custom ROM. I am just lost at this point; someone, please give me the strength to resolve this issue.

Greetings, I encountered something similar during a brick I had with an S8 device a few years ago, my OEM toggle option was not available from the start.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ormal-on-oneui-android-pie-9-0.3911862/page-4 : Check my post at page 4. I noticed that the OEM toggle is only available after some time using the ROM, I don’t remember if it also depends on CNC, give it a try.
Edit : skip the flash firmware part since your bootloader is locked, try doing a factory reset instead, then follow the steps to see if the OEM toggle becomes available.

You owe or some one owes money on the device and payment services are enabled. So Knox guard is keeping the bootloader locked uuntil payment services are paid and released

I already paid for the device in full, do you think I should contact Samsung support about it?
