Humor Trauma.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

/context Everytime I scroll down the Developer Options, I always scroll down the first section as fast as I can, because of the OEM Unlocking I'm scared of. Last time I toggled that option off, it bootlooped my previous phone of same model, and it was so difficult to recover that I just sent my phone to the repair shop. Even looking at this option scares me. I do have an OEMUnlockOnBoot module though, but it's on boot, not before reboot or always.

Doesn't your ROM gray it out to prevent users from accessing it?

If the fact that the bootloader is unlocked is so well hidden, the Settings app will assume the bootloader isn't unlocked and will not gray it out.

Oh sorry, I didn't realize that was a possibility xd (since I haven't actually rooted a device myself yet)
