What is the most private phone and what makes a phone private? That is the question... and we have answers! Please support my work: https://www.patreon.com/t...
i didn’t, but it is possible, altrough, not straightforward and requires some knowledge. I have an aosp-based custom rom, vanilla InfinityXOS (previously Superior-Extended). I have Poco X3 Pro btw. And because of how bootloader unlocking works, it is not a two-way process on xiaomi devices. Once you unlock it, there is no going back. If you try, it will hard brick and you can get a JTAG or something to reprogram the soc capacitors (doesn’t worth trying, there isn’t any single known xiaomi phone that didn’t brick upon an attempt to relock the bootloader)
That’s really cool! And yeah the bootloader locking checks out with into from other guides.
That unbricking talk flies over my head on the other hand, it sounds like one of those fake tech speaks to my uncultured self lol
if you have a xiaomi phone with GrapheneOS, NEVER, REALLY, NEVER!! relock the bootloader
How did you install Graphene in the first place?

btw some xiaomi devices support edl mode EVEN in hardbricked state so Mi Flash tool might work too
Sorry, I wasn’t saying it wasn’t, I just found it funny, I do trust you know what you’re talking about, had no reason to doubt you
That’s the case with most non-Google phones
Why?
it will brick
