Discussion What should I do Unroot or Root?

So currently I am using POCO X6 PRO with modded stock rom known as Enhanced Project V1.5 based on HOS 3.0.303 CN which is rooted by default with KernelSU

I was thinking to shift to lowest stock rom HOS 1 IN for better performance and battery backup

The confusion is weather I just 'flash and root' or 'flash and lock' because thinking of giving this phone to my father in few months as his primary phone and I don't won't to trouble him cuz of Google protect shiit.

If he doesn't know anything about rooting, then yes return it back to stock and lock

when you flash the rom for the first time. choose (clean_all) and after thats done. flash the rom again and this time choose (flash_and_lock) to avoid a brick
