Hello everyone,
I have an SM-J600G device which I am actually using in a country that doesn't sell it, so there is no stock ROM for this country.
I have already OEM unlocked, but the issue is that my RMM state is always prenormal even after waiting several 7 days.
I think it's because I'm using a different stock ROM than my SIM network (But i'm obligated to do since there is no stock rom for the country i'm living in right now). If it is really the case is there like any solution to root my phone?
Thank you,
Up

no solution ..
stuck on recovery and no other method to remove rmm state prenormal
I've tried another country's firmware to test out the reach of rmm. I got rmm removed completely, so yours would be a hardware problem, maybe. It's hard to say

Thanks for the reply. For my case, the phone is Malaysian and I use Malaysian stock ROM along with Moroccan SIM card. In download mode I got that "CARRIER_ID" flag that has "XME" value which is the Samsung code for Malaysia.
Do you think this is maybe the problem?

Well I have installed a stock Pie ROM with bootloader and modem from Oreo Rom to get rid of this RMM flag. But it didn't work. It seems as @ShaDisNX255 said, it's a hardware problem.
I finally managed to remove this cursed flag using this method.

I got a sim-locked GT N-7100.
On the one hand I want to be able to - at least temporarily - use it on another network.
But I was told by my provider that once I unlock the phone (which I am allowed to), I would loose my warranty.
So: Can I re-enabled a sim-lock (without anyone noticing it was temporarily enabled)?
If so, please tell me how!
I understand just flashing a stock firmware does not affect the sim-lock setting.
There are instructions how to un-lock (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982)
but not to re-lock
Thanx!
Where are you from?
I'm pretty sure Europe and US providers have no right to remove a warranty for that.
You can flash a stock rom if you need to claim under the warranty and reset the flash counter.
Even a proper network unlock (with a network unlock code that you have to pay for) removes your warranty?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I'm from Austria.
According to this: http://www.answers.com/topic/sim-lock#Austria it should be legal. Was even told by a nice guy from my operator I could do it, just that I would loose warranty.
I know about flash counter resets, so if I choose to try a custom rom (my note is completely stock until now) I'll be sure to use triangle-away before flashing a stock rom
Don't have the need for root currently though.
I dont know about details of warranty when it comes to unlocking.
I don't get why I it would void warranty since doing unlocking is someting thats even supported by the stock rom (just try a different sim and you get a screen asking you to enter an unlock pin).
Anyway, i'm still curious if it is possible to re-lock a previously un-locked android phone!
I got feedback on another thread:
slotguy:
I used the same thread to unlock then reversed it and relocked the sim. I don't believe there is a way anyone could tell it had been toggled off and back on. It is a service menu on the Samsung device.
So I tried the instructions, unfortunetely the lock control menu is not avilable with my firmware.
So am I correct that the only way is to flash an older firmware (4.1.1) and try with that?
Hi all,
I've searched and searched but haven't been able to find anyone else with the same issue I have with my S9, so i'm hoping somebody might be able to help me out!
Basically i installed twrp and then installed Lineageos with Odin. But after a while decided i wanted to go back to stock (there were a few things i was missing, dolby atmos, the stock camera, wi-fi calling and google pay.)
I downloaded a stock firmware from updato and installed with Odin. I used the BTU version, although my phone would have come with the XEU version as standard. I used the HOME_CSC (not sure if that is important?)
So now my phone has stock firmware and got an OTA update yesterday. But when i go into dev settings OEM unlock is greyed out and says 'Bootloader is already unlocked' and my phone is also uncertified in the play store and failed safetynet.
So i'm hoping to be able to get my phone back to the boot loader locked state and to get it certified and passing safetynet. I've waited 7 days as some people have suggested, phone was up for 170 hours but OEM unlock is the same and phone is still uncertified. My next thought is to install the XEU firmware and see if that makes any difference, but i'm not convinced it will.
Does anyone have any idea on how i can fix this please??

HOME_CSC does not reset the device, CSC does, chances are some of the root stuff / system modified files are still present causing these problems
Factory reset, if that doesn't work, flash again but use CSC this time

Probably won't be able to switch to BTU if you were originally on XEU, BTU is multiCSC and contains XEU so the phone will default to it's original CSC
The firmware will flash fine, but if you check the CSC it will likely still be on XEU unless you managed to change it when you were custom

Yep you're right, it's still XEU. I'll try a factory reset. I'm hoping the OTA update may have fixed a few things.
Can you lock the bootloader back?

I did a factory reset, then flashed the stock ROM again and used CSC, but the boot loader is still unlocked. I don't have the option to re-lock it, so seems like maybe you can't
Just in case this helps anyone else, I did a complete reset of the stock ROM using @rifek4 instructions from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/guide-onelatest-stock-fw-csc-root-t3702963
But i'm still not able to re-lock the boot loader. So going to leave it now and hope the option comes back after 7 days.

Thanks for replying. Do you think that method would help me to re-lock the boot loader?
When I go to the settings the OEM unlock says "boot loader is already unlocked"
Basically all I want to do is get safety net to pass again, and it seems that having an unlocked boot loader makes it fail.
Just in case this helps anyone else.
I downloaded magisk 16.7 beta, 16.6 caused my OS (lineage 15.1) to crash, but 16.7 was fine. I installed universal safety net fix for magisk, beta version. Installation said it failed, but when I rebooted it had worked!
Safety net now passes, device is certified in play store and Google pay is working fine. As @rifek4 said, bootloader lock has nothing to do with safety net (although I've seen a lot of people claiming it does).
I waited 7 days then disabled oem unlock in the developer option.
DONE.
None of skip wait time method work for me.
Hi there.
I've been stuck with RMM State Prenormal on my Galaxy A8 2018 for 3 months, waiting for this to be gone. Nothing to do, after 3 months of uptime, it still there.
Many tricks with time and date hasn't worked anymore, but finally I just success to bypass this s***.
What I've done :
_Install stock rom from original carrier (BOG for me, I were on XEF for deleting bloatwares).
_At boot, do NOT put your Google account and Samsung account, only Wi-Fi and that's all.
_When install wizard is finished, do NOT activate Developpers Options. Go directly at time and date, set it 8 days before after desactivate "Auto time and date".
_Go to System Update. Then untick "auto update" and check for update.
_Reboot.
_Go back to actual time and date, check again for update.
_Only NOW, activate Developpers Options and OEM Unlock should be there.
It worked for me after MANY MANY tricks, attempts, and hopeless. This way given me another luck to root my phone and now I'm done and free with it.
Sorry if my english is sometimes bad. Hoping I've helped some users.
Regards !
Edit : I did it on bootloader V3 (U3BRJ4).
I hope it actually works with other a530f
because I have a530w and a530w doesn't have rmm prenormal in bootloader, I can't really test this
Yup, canadian and some versions of samsung smartphone (Verizon or something else if I don't mistake ?) doesn't have any method to unlock their bootloaders because they are locked by default and forever. But I've posted it for those who have international variant (SM-A530F for me).

no, I mean that Canadian variant of a8 is exactly the opposite of what you said, rmm is always unlocked, so oem unlock is always there
and a8 is the only exynos Samsung device in canada so we're lucky we didn't get any snapdragon version or that would be locked forever
Oh, mea culpa. I thought it was like Galaxy S4 who were totally locked (received one from Canada to France, last year, I were disapointed that is not GT I9500 but SGH I337M).
But the result stay the same, this is for unlocked bootloader that can be "locked" by RMM State ^^

once you downloaded it, extract zip file, then there should be 5 files, dont worry about the HOME_CSC, that leaves us with 4 files, put them in the correct position on odin, AP to AP slot, etc
Hi, I've tried many times with différent BL but nothing To do' OEM doesn't appears and always state Prenormal :/
I'm on bootloader V3
It's a pity that after root we lose all the guarantees through knox

Hi guys,
I recently got a Moto Z2 Force XT1789-05 variant from Brazil which apparently tried to force an update to the pie but it must have been the wrong firmware so it lost imei and wifi. And it seems to relock the boot loader and have returned to oreo. Then I can not activate the OEM unlock, I even tried to use the internet from the PC via USB but still does not enable the option. I'm not sure what else to do does anyone know what to do ??? Help

Nothing yet, I tried what you sent but as it has the bootloader locked I believe it is preventing.
Will I have to stay connected 7 days to enable OEM unlock?

No. You just need to sign into google on your phone to enable oem unlocking. Might try pairing bluetooth to get a connection if possible. Might try using the lenovo moto smart tool to see if it'll do a rescue on it. With a locked bootloader typically you can only flash official signed firmware that is either the version or newer. Again, depending on what kind of mess you've got there you might not get anything to flash.

I'm in the same situation, I've tried everything, I've had several people helping me, I have the same model and variant and I can't recover at all.
Hi i've got a question. I recently purchased the A5 2017 (A520F) secondhand and i want to put a custom rom on it. I have unlocked and flashed tons of phones and tablets in the past so i'm far from a newbee.
My phone has "Bootloader OEM unlock" in dev options.
When i go into odin download mode (vol-, home+power) i dont get any message regarding "RMM state: Prenormal". FRP is unlocked.
Does this mean i'm all set to flash anything without the RMM.zip?
I'm having the latest security patch Jan2020 and Oreo bootloader. Knox is 0x0. Are there any other ways to check RMM state?

Then read a guide like this, there are other workarounds though https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-prenormal-on-oneui-android-pie-9-0.3911862/ but don't flash custom binaries while you don't bypass RMM prenormal status.
Yeah this requires a linux distro so i guess for that method i have to run linux in a VM or dualboot on another partition.
However, it still doesn't explain why i don't have a RMM message. Maybe RMM is gone altogether (not sure if thats possible tho).
Anyway thanks for your replies.

Oh, sorry, I read bad, and nothing about KG?
It means you don't have remote restrictions, even with FRP.
In this case, you are able to flash custom binaries.
No problem bud, happens to the best of us. Nope nothing about KG either. I wil try and flash twrp etc. Worst case i'll flash back official firmware. Thanks for the help!
Solved: There was no RMM/KG on the device at all so i went and flashed TWRP and Rise-Q OneUI 2.5. Everything went smooth as butter.
Good, if it is not present in download screen, then in this device, either RMM/KG are not implemented.
