g950f relock bootloader


Hi
I received g950f for unlock.

In order to ensure no problems with samsung account or google account I removed google account and then ticked enable OEM unlock!!
I then successfully read codes, and unlocked the phone. How do I now relock the bootloader? I do not want to reset the phone if possible.

Sorry for my stupidity
Thank you

Steve

Why would you want to relock it?
You'll need to firstly activate developer options, once done go to settings then developer options, then you will see unlock, if that switch is to the right then boot loader is unlocked, to relock bootloader just press and move so that switch is to *** left

OEM unlock that unlocks the bootloader is disabled on the g950f, you have to enabled it yourself.
The unlock code is for carrier locks, totally different thing.
If you get a legend that says "Device is certified" it is not a bootloader problem but it is root.

OEM unlock is boot loader unlocking, if you try to root or install twrp that breaks knox without enable oem unlock the phone will be completely bricked.
If you have successfully enabled oem unlock and able to boot in twrp, you need to wipe data and internal storage to remove encryption, so twrp will be able to read data and flash.
