Hi everyone.
I was guessing if there is a way to lock the Bootloader once unlocked, I want to flash a clean stock ROM to get rid of my operator customization, and prepare it to upgrade to Android 11 once available.
Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Android OS. I have Samsung Vibrant from Tmobile with Froyo (2.2) OS and Tmobile provided me an unlock code coz I'm using AT&T right now. I would like to do rooting and custom ROM, will I loose my unlock if I install a fresh custom ROM? Thanks in advance.
No you will not lose the unlock. I have installed Bionix and it's work like a charm.
Thanks for the quick reply
No you will not. I've flashed my phone with a custom rom and i still have my unlock.
I Have to unlock my phone to use it in other country, but i see methods only in Stock, i want to know if it is possible in Cm12 and how!
Buy an unlock code, it will work in aosp rom.
Hello guys, can someone explain me if i can use an old rom with the new bootloader ?
If not, did i need to flash the rom with the newbootloader before or after the update of it ?
Thanks you !
If you upgrade your device to new bootloader you are not be able to boot with old BL ROMs unless you flash old BL(very dangerous can brick your phone) or go back to OOS 2.2.3.
If you are on old BL you need new BL to use new Roms with new BL..BL upgrade is one time process after that you do not need to flash BL again and again.unless you go back to old BL.
Hello,
I wanna Sim-unlock my phone (galaxy s5) but it's running on cyanogenmod. I know it's not possible to unlock sim with a custom rom but is it possible to unlock the phone if I flash a Stock Rom? And does the rom have to be with original branding?
Greets,
Kenny
EDIT:
No, it's not possible to unlock your phone on a custom firmware. Yes, you have to flash the original firmware with branding by the phone's original carrier then unlock it for all networks. This will work. You can use a custom firmware again after unlocking the phone.
Hello!
I recently bought the 8" M5 without realising the hoops I'd have to jump through to unlock the bootloader.
After getting lucky and being able to downgrade to FW163 I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and I've been running a treble rom. Yesterday I wanted to try out an OpenKirin rom, so I flashed the stock EMUI 8 firmware in order to then flash the OpenKirin rom.
After flashing stock I realised my bootloader was relocked - not a big issue as I still had the unlock code and I was still on FW163.
My question is - if I upgrade to EMUI 9 ota will this relock my bootloader the same as manually flashing 163 did, and if so, will I still be able to unlock on higher FW versions since I already have the unlock code? As far as I'm aware the issue we were faced with was actually obtaining the unlock code after official support ended, so in theory now that I have the code I should be able to unlock on any firmware, right?
Thanks!

Theoritically said, yes, because the xloader have those kind of hexes that stay the same even after updating the firmware and the xloader and as additional info, I'm now on Omnirom for EMUI 9 vendor from Openkirin team and I can download the EMUI from eRecovery without getting my bootloader locked
