According to tipster Ice Universe, Samsung has disabled Odin, a proprietary firmware flashing tool typically used to install stock firmware, install custom ROMs, and restore devices. It also appears that Samsung has removed “Download Mode,” which acts as a gateway for Odin. This change appears to have been made in the latest One UI 8.5 firmware and currently affects the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and recently launched Galaxy S26 series.

Best I can do is a bunch of age verification laws to take even more control away from you

    There's a special place in hell for those Republicans. It's always the Pedo-Conservatives who want that.

    I'll compile my own linux kernel before I install OS level age verification.
