Notes

The Exynos 7884B appears to be just an underclocked 7885(might have other quirks, i dont know) so i guess i will be working with stuff for that

How to enter flash mode

Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down while plugging it in the Computer. Then click Volume Up to confirm.

Unlocking the Bootloader

!!!WARNING!!!

This will reset your device to Factory settings and blow the Knox E-Fuse! You have been warned.

Samsung made this easy (thankfully): Reboot into Download mode (hold down Vol+ and Vol- while plugging it into a computer) and hold down Vol+.

This way, you can also relock the bootloader (with the only benefit being that the message at the Beginning is gone, no more Knox)


//Could you, please, explain a bit more the useful of keeping knox/efuse, or to remove it? thanks!
