OEM unlock restriction is a violation of my rights, and rights of other people who uses root. My question is, can I get root access on one UI 7 and update to One UI 8 with bootloader unlocked. Will it be force locked? This is the only way to restore Knox functionality for me and thousands of other "power users"
True i paid for the phone (i have the right to do whatever i want with it). It's like buying a laptop and the company says you can't use anything except windows. What nonsense I'm getting fed up by this brand they turning into apple everyday. Even my S21fe has greenline filled due to crappy updates they won't even accept their mistake that's the best part. Gotta stop buying samsung and switch to Oneplus their flagship looks good and lifetime greenline warranty plus bootloader unlock option .
Well, I guess you have to decide which is more important to you, the features and customizability that Samsung offers, or the ability to root your phone. If you decide the ability to root and "do whatever you want to" with your phone is the deciding factor, you will have to switch brands.
If you buy a computer, if you buy a Mac, you can only use MacOS. If you buy a Chromebook, you can only use Google's OS. The reason people buy other PCs is precisely because they can load other operating systems onto them if they want to. Buying a Samsung phone is no different.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this restriction is coming to all Android based phones as a Google mandate, as they don't want the Android system corrupted and bastardized by non-official actors.
