How To Unlock Bootloader of Galaxy S9/S9+ (SM-G9600/SM-G9650) Snapdragon

Step 1: Enable Developer Options

• Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information.
  
• Locate the Build Number option and tap it 5-7 times quickly to enable the Developer Options.
  

Step 2: Enable OEM Unlock

• Open the newly-added Developer Options from the Main Settings page (usually down at the bottom.)
  
• Toggle/enable the OEM Unlock option.
  

Step 3: Run CROM application

• Download and install the Samsung-developed CROM app from here or the Galaxy Apps Store
  
• Open CROM applicatioon
  
• Drag the Slider to unlock the Bootloader
  
• Wait until it finishes unlocking.
  

Apparently it's more likely to work if you remove your Samsung Account info from the device before doing step 3.

Good luck.
