No worries👍. I think I will just delete mine as I am too lazy to change the link
After the Nord line, I’ll never touch another OnePlus phone. They seemed to give up on the modding community, which is what made them attractive in the first place.
How did they give up?
If you’re in the US, OnePlus and Google are the only ones who create mobile with bootloaders that can be unlocked. Or are you taking about physical modifications?
Go try to find an MSM tool (the official one) for anything after the OnePlus N200. They’re just not there…and worse, the ones you do find are password locked (that cost 15$ to unlock) or virus ladden garbage.
I’m done with OnePlus and will go to more mainline phones with better support from here on out.
someone on XDA said that they cracked the msm and since then, they have provided it to certain well-known devs working on one plus 11
one plus 11 is going to have a lineageos build soon, check on xda https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/wip-porting-lineageos-20-to-the-oneplus-11.4551767/
Most Motorola phones have unlockable bootloaders. The ones in their range that don’t are the carrier specific models.
Many people on Reddit told me that Motorola mobiles in the US don’t have unlockable bootloaders.
Does Samsung have locked bootloaders in the US, or is that carrier-specific?
Samsung is a separate kettle of fish in that they make things difficult while keeping the bootloader technically unlocked. Things like a lack of fastboot option, or bespoke for Samsung security changes, and a whole mess of other things. Carriers do also impose addition restrictions for locked models.
