While it’s no hidden secret that the S series has always been the most developer-friendly device [specifically its Ultra variant], however, this time around, it has further upscaled the meteoric rise as it has only been a matter of a few days for the rooting binary to go live as well as the development of a custom recovery. However, before you could carry out any of these tweaks, you need to checkmark an important prerequisite off the list- the bootloader on your Galaxy S23/Plus/Ultra needs to be unlocked. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
Benefits and Risks of an Unlock Bootloader
Unlocking the bootloader is the gateway to extracting the maximum benefits of Android’s open-source ecosystem. For example, you will be able to install a custom ROM or flash a custom recovery like TWRP. Likewise, you will also be able to get access to the system partition as well as administrative privileges by rooting your device via Magisk. This will then allow you to flash Magisk Modules, Xposed Framework, Substratum Themes, and Viper4Android, etc. However, carrying out these tweaks brings in a few uninvited risks as well. To begin with, it will wipe off all the data and could nullify the device’s warranty. Along the same lines, it will trip the Knox counter, thereby apps like Samsung Pay and Secure Folder might not function. The SafetyNet will be triggered as well [FIXED], thereby preventing you from using banking apps [FIXED]. So if that’s well and good then let’s get started with the steps to unlock the bootloader on Galaxy S23/Plus/Ultra.
