unlocking from the carriers (sim unlock) is a different thing from unlocking the bootloader
I’m aware. But Samsung allows unlocking the bootloader everywhere but the US, and the US is the place where carriers can add bizarre restrictions to devices, so I’m wondering if that’s the reason.
Oh that’s wild. I had no idea. I’m in the US and don’t have the OEM unlock available in developer settings. I think it’s Samsung that is limiting the bootloader unlock, don’t know if it’s due to pressure from the carriers though
