Onepluss are one of the most well known brands lol

They're one of the 4 BBK companies alongside OPPO, Realme and Vivo

Oneplus had the infamous OxygenOS before OPPO cam3 along and ruined it

tbh i've never heard of them but alright thats a step in the right direction

[odd violet]

Surprising but fair enuff ig

[gilded pilot]

And about the "who cares", well depends if you want the freedom do install and modify everything you want or just don't

There sure are a lot of users who don't care, a whole lot, but i and many devs do

[odd violet]

True but lets say ur phone's warranty has already ended then it doesn't matter, or some people might not care

Educated guess - u could probs root and if u need to make use of warrant.maybe restore the device to full stock and hope they dont know u fiddled around :p

[gilded pilot]

Oh you talking about the warranty lol

[odd violet]

Yeh XD

[gilded pilot]

Yeah thats true

[odd violet]

thats why i mentioned the oneplus thing lol

[gilded pilot]

Once Bootloader unlocked, can never be locked again

[odd violet]

Just need to restore everything like the rom to stock or might brick the phone

[gilded pilot]

[odd violet]

Fastboot flashing lock

[gilded pilot]

[odd violet]

Haha no worries lol

[gilded pilot]

But see, thats how much you get scared into not doing it

[odd violet]

I heard with Hyperos u need to have an account and some other shits

[gilded pilot]

They literally said that somewhere let me find that

[odd violet]

Im not surprised tbh

[gilded pilot]

yeah me neither

i only found this but on my phone it literally stated that you cant re lock it

[odd violet]

Well unless redmi's are special cases lol

Theyre lying but i wouldnt risk locking unless someone can prove its safe

[gilded pilot]

The storage is encrypted and requires the phone code to access, so i dont even care about bootloader lock

there is nothing to loose
