They don't do that

their supplier does

most if not all AliExpress sellers have that too unless you specifically ask them

well at least you can ask them for sealed

it makes sense to have it sealed, I'd do that

you're going to have to flash it anyway

^

But its not like they unlocked anything for you is it now?

Its just I dont like the idea that some chinks took up the phone and did anything to it

but thats me

its not like they broke it or anything

but some install malware and bs

A lot of chinks have handled your phone before packaging it

I know, the factory, but it's factory condition not chinks opening up afterwards condition

if they unlocked the bootloader or something

that could be positive

They can't do that though

okay but you're acting like it's something exclusive to GB

rip

which it's not

too much of a hassle right?

nah

i'm going to root my phone now

I just remember some newspaper here got phone from GB

Then they wrote shit about Xiaomi because of their malware crap...

wish me luck or something its probably pretty easy

No, you need a mi account to unlock a phone

And there's a cooldown

Night

They can't just unlock hundreds of phones

Yeah I guess that would be too much a bother

My point is that it's not just bothersome, it's impossible

nothing is impossible

The cooldown is a month or something

now it sounds more impossible

Rooting a xiaomeme is easy, just by flashing SuperSU

But unlocking the bootloader

Is the most frustrating shit ever

on HTC had to get a unlock token from their server and flash it on

it was quick enough though

flash dev rom, log into the account on the phone, plug in the phone, press next till it's done

My guess is this way they basically void warranty

well know that you did something with bootloader

Back with LG you could blow fuses

and if they were all blown they would know that you had accessed root and such

maybe they still do that?

Yeah flash dev ROM, but with their fucking flashing tool

Which is fucking horrible

Is has a box in which you can enter a path and a few buttons

What else do you need?

Also having to wait 10 days until Mr.Wang finally accept your account

Unlock software not working, can't login "server fail"

At the end of the day it's just a frontend for fastboot

Seriously xiaomia unlocking is dog shit

Motorola just gave me unlock key

Immediately

are there one click roots or do i need adb

ah there is

but are they botnet?

Which phone?

Moto X1575

Looks like OneClickRoot supports it

There's a bunch of apps like that

Don't use one click root apps

I don't remember the name of the one that didn't look like a botnet

That's what I thought Mao

They all look fishy

Unlock bootloader

They mostly work though

doing that now

Flash a twrp recovery

fuck yeah i have adb installed

Enter recovery and flash SuperSU

is a twrp recovery a seperate environment to fuck about with?

Just open the stickied guide thread for your phone on xda

And follow that

@Stickmakerman see the new episode?

Kek speak of the devil

Just finished installing twrp

just unlocked my bootloader

now sidetracked installing wireshark

After fucking CyanogenMod fucked my philz touch

what phone?

S3

D2att

hows the battery life lol

Shit

thankfully you can replace

But mostly bc i havent treated the battery well in the past three ish years

And i bought it used

So who tf knows what it seen

But yeah if u install cyanogen make sure to not install the recovery

Itll fuck everything

And this rom fucked over my root access too so i had to fix that

not interested in cyannogen, stock runs fine for me

backing up stock rom

>damage...might result in injury to users

what like exploding batteries
?

Like having all of your data stolen

And sold to gopnik
