Download minmal afb and fastboot,connect phone to pc , boot to fastboot, type "fatboot oem unlock", oem is unlocked, now flash twrp from fastboot, for ur particular device from any dev website, instructions are always provided there, then flash supersu.zip from Twrp. Done

Forgot, for samsung theres a software called odin which can be used to unlock oem and u can use kingoroot to root it

i don't think samsung devices support fastboot

odin does not detect my phone if i connect it in download mode. my drivers are correctly set up.

Have you tried adb tools from command line on GNU/Linux?

>>60688987
i have everything set up for adb on my end.
what do you reccomend i do with adb tools?

Hi Op, check if there is an option to unlock oem in dev options, then toggle usb debugging in dev options and try again in odin...if that doesnt work just use kingoroot android app

>>60689050
there is no option for unlock OEM. USB debug is already toggles & odin does not detect the device.

i'm trying kingoroot now, i'll let you know the results. if it succeeds, i'll attempt to install TWRP.

OP here. it seems kingoroot cannot do anything for my phone, as my bootloader is locked.
