So I got this Tab S9 a few days ago and wanted to install TWRP on it. I did so without a hitch and all was good. Now, all of a sudden, this morning when I turned it on, it said "Custom Binary(recovery) Blocked due to remaining instalment balance (1)".
I managed to get it to boot again by flashing the official image back to it again, but I still cannot flash the recovery again.
I am very disappointed as I bought the tablet in a lump sum directly from Samsung's UK store and have confirmed with employees that I have no outstanding balance. I tried resetting a few times to no avail. It's a wifi variant so shouldn't have any restrictions on it. Can a member of the team please assist me in fixing this quickly as I am going abroad in two days? Is it because I paid through paypal?

No, I mean just the bootloader/recovery. I didn't install any custom ROM.

I used the built-in samsung method of holding volume up and power at the same time to unlock the bootloader lol.

I did. I spent more than 2 hours on phone with them today. They all said there was no balance issue because I never put it on any kind of finance and paid the whole amount upfront while ordering. Support said to ask here.
