Next major Samsung OS update is One UI 8 and the S24 is getting that update
Comment on Samsung’s One UI 8 might shut down bootloader unlocking on Galaxy phones

When they say One UI 8 does this include phones besides the Galaxy S25? I have an S24 and am hoping it won’t hit me

I have a s24 here and the last update to One Ui 7 removed the bootloader unlocking option in dev mode. But that was mounts ago and no talk about it back then so they did it hidden in the dark. Disgusting.

I just checked my s23 and you’re right, the bootloader unlock option is completley gone - this is a disturbing trend of manufacturers taking away control of devices we actualy own.

Huh, I have the s23 and just updated yesterday. I still have it in dev options (haven’t tried enabling it though)
Wierd if they allow it for older but not newer phones on the same os version.

No it’s gone for s24 one UI 7.
