Unlocking the bootloader.

Anyone unlocked the bootloader on the 6.1?

It can be done. You could try here https://www.techmesto.com/buy-nokia-bootloader-unlock-key/#Buyer_Reviews

Yup, it can be done. However, you're on your own, don't complain that updates no longer install.

Jmrlex

Gee thanks pops. Rest assured that if I decide to complain, it will not involve you. To anyone else, any word on being able to unlock with 9? What were your results etc. etc. ?

You will also void the warranty.

Jmrlex

That can be undone. There are some rudimentary articles out there on this. You should check it out.

Well, why would I need root?

AdAway, but this is moot since there are other ways to block ads;

dnscrypt, but this is moot since Pie has DoT;

wardriving, this is a problem, but since I don't do it often I can live without that.

There are other reasons to root. You'll see after you've messed around with phones for a while.

Lol, I still compile Lineage OS for my old Wileyfox Swift.

Update: 6.1 got upgraded to Android 10. This solved the problem of using dns.adguard.com (solves the ads problem and makes dnscrypt obsolete). Also, wardriving no longer requires root access.
