Is there a procedure to unlock the bootloader, root, uninstall some of the T-Mobile apps and make a few changes, then unroot, and relock the bootloader?
Everything I've seen so far requires re-flashing everything back to stock, I was hoping to avoid that. (Obviously, the bootloader and recovery would be stock when I'm done, just not the system)
The locked bootloader will not boot a modified system partition. As such revert to stock is required. Question is still open on relocking the bootloader post MM. After MM the unlock is visible on the boot screens where previously it was not. This would be an instant giveaway on any warranty claims.
Thanks, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure.
When unlocking bootloader do we loose firmware upgrade via OTA?
I know that for some phones, e.g. some Sony phones, if you unlock the bootloader, it will permanently delete some stuff from the phone (DRM keys and whatnot) and you can't get it back even if you re-lock and flash a stock ROM. Is it similar for Xiaomi? Or can I re-lock the bootloader, flash the stock ROM and make the phone 100% functional and indistinguishable from one that was never unlocked?
Yes.
no problem
Hi I wanted to lock my bootloader unroot and go back to my original canadian model. I made my phone to European version for updates. What is the best way to do this.
Can I do this through erecovery?
Any ideas guys?
When you unlock bootloader and stay with stock ROM, if you get update will that relock the bootloader?
Will unlocker bootloader affect any updates to the 9Tpro global stock ROM?
Thanks
It won't relock and you'll get updates normally.
