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 ^^
Hello, I want to test tous method and I have an dummy question, To install stock rom, I have To flash with Odin an original firmware from sammobile and if it's yes what file I have To flash

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

You don't have oem unlock to use Odin.
Hello, I tried following the tutorial that seems to work for everyone
(
) LINK to tutorial.
But my basic problem is that when i try to flash twrp it says " only official binaries can be flashed"
It happened after i enabled OEM unlocking and the phone restarted then i went to download mode before allowing it to restart, thats where it gave me that issue., I want to root my phone.
I am sharing current state of my phone. If somebody can guide me i would be thankful.

your bootloader state is prenormal, still locked. Unlock it and you should be good. There are some files you can flash it keep the prenormal at bay once you get it removed

bootloader is still locked. the "prenormal" in download mode is the thing thats preventing you.

the prevailing theory is that you have to leave the phone on for 168 hours, after a fresh install, enable dev options, then uncheck the box. The FRP lock will re-enable it self even if you have the OEM unlock toggle switched to off. Reflash your stock firmware in Odin, set the phone up for as much as youd need in 168 hours worth of usage, then do the oem unlock. Then immediately boot to DL mode and flash twrp

there is also another zip file to flash when dealing with the oem unlock to make sure it doesnt lock again. ill have to look for it, but i came across it originally in the Galaxy A8 forum. You might also have to wait 168 hours and then try the toggle again. This 168 hour thing can be a real bugger.

No, the thing is that my OEM UNLOCK is toggled On, which means my bootloader is unlocked.
That should mean that my rmm state should not be prenormal,
But its not like that.
Despite flashing new rom and having oem unlock already toggled on which means unlocking the bootloader,
I am still unable to flash twrp.
What else can i do? Any solution ?

i know the toggle is on, but that doesnt ensure that your bootloader is unlocked. If your rmm state is anything other than prenormal, then its definitely not unlocked.
rmm prenormal has been a bane of the samsung xda corner of the internet for a while now, read this
im betting its the 168 hour issue. dont reboot your phone for 168 hours and toggle it off then back on

no, im not sure. but the worst thing that could happen is the phone making you wait another 168 hours if you toggle it once and it makes you wait for the second toggle again.

only issue that could cause, if it was even going to cause an issue, is reset the time since previous reboot, in which case all that would happen is having to wait 168 hours again if that doesnt work

Hey guys,
So I got Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus but there is no OEM unlock option in my developer option settings.
I want to root and upgrade the phone and flash custom firmware. I can't do it until bootloader is unlocked.
I am currently on official latest Samsung firmware Android 11
Model - SM-G985F
CSC- OXM_INU
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

According to your device it shows oem unlock l. Which means locked. This device looks to have Knox guard mdm service. Looks to be leased. It is permanently locked until removed from Knox mdm server.

Will installing official firmwares in Sammobile through Odin help?
Hi, maybe this will help you:
This dude also don't have OEM unlock option (he have s20 ultra G988B) but after change date time its show up. Try it.

His isn't that issue. Look at his download mode info. Bootloader l. Which means locked. Any that can be unlocked display a u I believe. I had this issue on another device. It's all caused by Knox guard and buying subsidized device

Hey, did you solved it? bought SM-G986B with same problem - OEM on (L)
Hey brother have you solved that issue ? I've the same problem too, no OEM unlock option.
Hey,
It will depend on your baseband version if you have a snapdragon S20/S20+/S20U. See the thread below about how it can be done and what baseband/bootloader is required to unlock.
no OEM Unlock toggle in dev options
as stated in the title on my s20 plus (SM-G968W) there is no toggle for OEM Unlock, its been a long time since ive tried to root and from what ive been able to pick up from googling is it may not be supported for my country or cpu manufacturer...

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.
hi i unlocked my bootloader and it still doesnt let me install twrp says that "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed (recovery)"
