Stoping this damn RMM State Prenormal

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
Thx
(Sorry for my bad English I'm French ^^)

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

SM -G960W S9 snapdragon Bootloader

Hi I have an s9 I went to check RMM State n OEM State in download mode and there is no RMM State Prenormal or OEM Lock Yes . I'm coming here as I was about to straight flash twrp but am unsure my knowledge would tell me with them not being there those security locks are are not in place n the bootloader is naturally unlocked on on my phone I'm also going to note that it is a snapdragon I don't see that hiding the two states from the bootloader states

Do you have OEM unlock in the developer options? Also what model phone do you have (kinda important to mention the model when asking for help).
If you have the model SM-G965U or SM-G965U1 the answer to this has been well asked/answered/discussed on the forum. The bootloader on this model can not be unlocked. It can not be rooted (maybe in future, but don't expect it to be anytime soon. Samsung did a good job locking this one down). You can not flash any custom firmware or recoveries to the phone.
If you have the SM-G9650 it looks like you would need to enable OEM unlock and possibly use some app to unlock the bootloader. I am not 100% sure on the usage of another app as well as OEM unlock, but OEM unlock should be present at least.

I have the sm-g960w canadian and no oem unlock has not appeared yet but on that same note inside download mode there is also nothing for rmm state prenormal/normal or oem lock yes/no It only shows FRP Lock the the Nox guard

Best thing I can suggest is you ask your question inside the forum for the Galaxy S9 model. There are active discussions on what it is your asking... including ones you have already participated in.

Despite what the app does the forum rules don't exactly permit you to post where ever you feel like for any reason. Accidents happen, but trying to rationalize posting in the wrong forum is not a good thing. You have a Galaxy S9 and should be posting in that topic.
That being said all the info you need can (rather easily in fact, took longer cuz I'm on my phone doing this and making lunch) be found searching the forum. For the model you have I found multiple references to the phone not being rootable. I also found a post saying in the galaxy S9 forum the bootloader was locked, and another post saying TWRP does not support your model.
If you want to hash it out further I suggest you ask in the correct forum for your actual phone model.

Huge Problem, Locked Device and Stuck in Bootloader!!!!!

I have one Moto Z2 Force (XT1789-05), bought from coolicool.com, I didn't know device came Unlocked Bootloader, Device rom had problem with many apps, I googled and found one topic in XDA developer to Install Stock Rom, I downloaded and Installed India Rom, it's worked somehow fine, but still had problem, I downloaded Verizon Rom, Android 8, after Installed Android 8 Verizon Rom, Locked device bootloader immediately, now device stuck at Welcome Wizard in Android 8, after select language I got this message: (Please wait, this may take a few minutes) this is proof video (http://ahmn.co/Upload/IMG_0161.MOV), after this issue, device already locked, I can't unlock, because need to go to the Developer Option in Setting, I stucked in Welcome Wizard, there isn't any bypass, So, I start to search in Google, XDA-Forum, Android Central and more, I created many threads, many requests, no one can't help me, I tried to reach google developer support to the tell to me how can I bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, there is must be a way, but I can't find it, now I can access to Android Recovery and Bootloader
1. if you help me to FORCE UNLOCK device without need Developer Option in setting my problem will solve
2. If you help me to Bypass Android Welcome Wizard, access setting and enable OEM Unlock
3. If you help me to update the device from Android 8 to Android 9 Verizon ROM via ADB Sideload or Update from SD card in Recovery mode
4. If you have any idea to how can I fix it
Extra Information: I bought Belkin and Uni USB-C to Ethernet Adaptor to help me bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, I bought WSKY WIFI Adaptor because device Wifi can't find any network (I found QR setup by tap several times in Language Selection), after this section need to download google device policy apk, my device can't find any Wifi Network and my Ethernet Adaptor can't help me either, So, I just remained with my phone, and I can't do anything,
Please, someone, help me
My Device SKU: XT1789-05

These coolicool phones always come with the wrong firmware install, the simple solution to that is to flash the correct firmware which is plain old RETAIL. Solved. That's for anyone who might have or end up with one of these phones.
As for your phone and since you're in the situation you are I'd flash VZW pie. That isn't the correct firmware for your phone, but you've got a locked BL with VZW on it now and nothing is working. Since your ultimate goal is to flash pie anyways, that's what I'd do. Maybe that will clean up your system enough to enable oem unlock. If you can get your BL unlocked, then you're half way there. Surely by now you've realized that you haven't got many if any options.

Yes, I put my self in prison by locking bootloader, I already downloaded this firmware, but how can I update this firmware via ADB Sideload or Micro SD?

thanks a lot

You shouldn't flash firmware from other variants like att, etc. However, if you're able to flash those firmwares and not get any permission denied errors then your bootloader is unlocked, which is good. If you have NOT flashed a pie firmware, good, do NOT do it until everything is up and running and you're sorted. If you have, then you'll need to use pie firmware to fix it since once you flash a pie modem there is no going back to an oreo modem.
Run this command from bootloader/fastboot mode and post back your output.

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.

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...
