Samsung Galaxy M32 5G was finally launched in India with MediaTek Dimensity 720 SoC, Quad-Rear Cameras, runs Android 11 with OneUI 3.1 on top. The camera on the device packs a 48 MP primary sensor, an 8 MP sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2 MP macro shooter, and a 2 MP depth sensor. At the front, the phone comes with a 13 MP selfie shooter housed in the notch. In this guide, we will show you how to unlock the bootloader on Samsung Galaxy M52 5G (SM-M326B).
Bootloader unlock is a gateway for Android device users towards its unlimited possibilities of customizations and other features. By unlocking the bootloader, you can root your device (jailbreak), flash custom firmware, kernels, recovery and install third-party modules and apps, etc.
A Bootloader is usually locked on an Android device due to system security or privacy-related measures. As the Android OS is an open-source platform and anyone can do anything with it, the smartphone OEMs always want to stick to their skin and OS version that is specially developed and designed for their own device models. That’s why most of the OEMs don’t provide an unlocked bootloader out-of-the-box.
Pre-Requisites
Now before we go ahead and unlock the bootloader on your Galaxy M52 5G, let us make a list of pre-requisites that are required to unlock it:
Charge your phone
You need to make sure that your Galaxy M52 5G is charged to about 60% before operating it for unlocking the bootloader to avoid any boot loop issues during the unlocking process.
You need a PC or Laptop
We would be running certain ADB and Fastboot commands that can be executed via PC or a laptop. So, we would need a computer in order to unlock the bootloader.
Take a complete backup
Before unlocking the bootloader, one of the most important things that you need to do on your phone is to take a complete backup of your phone. For that, you can follow the guide by clicking the link below:
In order to make your Galaxy M52 5G get recognized by your PC, you need to have proper USB Drivers appropriate to your phone installed on your computer. And for that, you can follow the link below to download the correct Samsung USB Drivers on your PC.
Before we begin, I would strongly recommend you to create a backup of your device storage and all your files stored on your device. unlocking the bootloader will wipe off the entire data on your device and will void the warranty. Moreover, it is advised to follow the steps mentioned in this post very carefully to avoid permanent damage or to brick your device.
