Not possible in Third World Countries :(

Well that sucks.

In that case, sell your Samsung secondhand and then start over with a device from a company that's less abusive.

In third world countries I think Samsung's allows you to unlock the bootloader. Open developer options and see if there's a tic box for "OEM unlock"
