Flashing a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G

[Travesty]

Wanted to flash it with just a stock ROM by using these instructions, https://gsm-flash.com/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-5g-firmware-sm-n986/. I'm trying to enable the OEM unlocking option but I'm not seeing it in the Developer Options. Is it really that important? Never flashed a phone before so I really don't want to punk something up...

Drats, no one huh...

Might have better luck asking your question at XDA developers forum.

May not be there for your model.  Some phone carriers lock down the phones. Like Google phones bought from the carrier are diff then buying direct from Google.

What software are you using to flash the Note in question?  As long as the phone is truly unlocked, ODIN or Heimdall will work on any Galaxy S or Note.  (Before I moved to my Pixel 3a, I had a Galaxy S7 as my daily driver (it is the 3a's backup now, and remains usable;  The primary US carriers do not sell permalocked Galaxy devices; at worst, they are only locked for as long as you are paying on the phone.  If you purchased the phone outright - and yes - this includes the Note series - that should not be the case.)
