How to Remove KG Lock from Samsung MTK Devices Permanently 2024
KG Lock serves as a safeguard mechanism, thwarting unauthorized alterations to Samsung devices. This security feature is triggered when the device is online and registered with Knox, a comprehensive service offering device management and protection. However, KG Lock may pose challenges for users aiming to install custom ROMs, root their devices, or unlock their bootloaders.
Fortunately, there is a way to remove the KG lock from Samsung MTK devices permanently, even if you put in firmware or do a factory reset. This method works for most Samsung MTK models, such as A10s, A01 Core, M01s, etc. You will need either Unlocktool or Chimera, two tools that can bypass the MTK authentication and flash the device in bootrom mode. You will also need a modified file called PATCH_HALABTECH.zip, which is provided by HALABTECH, a website that offers solutions for Samsung devices.
