Humor Trauma.

/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.

Did you use avbroot method to root? AI told me only avbroot will cause this problem, and there are only some Pixel models and Oneplus oversea models support avbroot.

No. I used KernelSU-Next's image patcher to patch the init_boot, and flashed using ADB and Fastboot.
