Hello Guys,
My phone (Samsung Galaxy A9 2018) isn't starting anymore but it can go into download mode, and is recognized by the PC but as a Samsung Modem.

So I wanted to try and flash TRWP to the phone, sadly the Bootloader is locked.

I have googled many ways, on how to unlock the Bootloader, but none of them could help me.

Have you guys an idea for me how I can unlock the Bootloader without directly accessing the phone? (maybe with Odin)

Thank you very much.

As for your question, no - unlocking the bootloader is intentionally compromising security features, and as such is meant to only be done deliberately by the user, not remotely.

For instructions on unlocking your bootloader, see the Magisk installation instructions. If the OEM Unlocking toggle is not available, unlocking your bootloader will not be possible.

Thank you for your Feedback. I wasn't aware that I posted it into the wrong section, sorry!
