Backup Your Data

Before initiating the process, back up all your important data, including contacts, photos, videos, and files. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device, so ensure you have a copy of your data stored safely.

Charge Your Device

Make sure your Samsung device has sufficient battery life or connect it to a power source during the process to prevent any interruptions.

Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information. Tap on the "Build Number" seven times to enable Developer Options. Then, navigate to Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
