A fediverse post by Dataline (@somebody@tech.lgbt). It has an screenshot of a discord message saying “have you guys seen how people are unlocking xiaomi bootloaders now step 1: ask store to downgrade firmware step 2: before they relock the bootloader run away with your device.”. The screenshot has two imgur links showing this happening.

Fairphone does this as well. Happily running CalyxOS on my Fairphone 4 with a locked bootloader :)
Can you tell me about your experiences with calyxos? I own a fp4 as well and I’m thinking about installing a custom ROM on it. I am still undecided whether calyx or e/os.
Lwhat do you wanna know? I like calyx a lot
I mean things like ease of use and installation, the use of banking apps, etc. Have you noticed any problems in everyday use? Things like that.
I am not anything close to an IT-person, my experience in IT reduces on me using Ubuntu. Did the installation on FP5 myself and it was very easy. Just followed the install instructions. Everyday use: it feels really clean and the only thing that really changed for me: Google services aren’t the standard. I can still use them. Aurora store is the Appstore. No problems yet.
My banking app works. You can ask a person that has a fp4 to install your app and test if it works but I didn’t have any problems with mine. I just trusted, haha.
What I learned: apps in f-droid store are mostly absolutely banger!
Edit: wero, and “TK-App” are the only apps i tried to use which don’t work
