Default Unlocked bootloader

Will flashing the unlocked bootloader ruin the phone if I try to Odin back to stock ? Maybe a dumb question but as I don't have ten posts yet I can't ask in the regular thread. Sorry:/

Yes it does belong in Q&A, but I mean themes is better than putting it in development. Don't be an ass/troll to the new guy. If you can't answer his question or at least attempt, you don't have to reply. The mods can handle the misplaced posts (even though they probably tire of it).

That's my bad I did mean to put it in the q and a. Mods can remove. I think you just need to flash the boot.IMG and the normal stock in Odin. Ha

AFAIK using Odin to go back to stock returns everything back to stock including bootloader. Or at least that's what I've read

I wasnt being an ass. I dont remember my new member restrictions. I thought that some forums may be locked to new members until the post count is reached.

I thought that the OP was posting in this section because he was unable to access the appropriate section. Thus, my comment.

I apologize if it came off as a dick comment. I was just encouraging productive posting. I really dotn know the answer, either lol.

I didn't mean to be a dick either, I'm just tired of people bashing the new people. People that could, possibly, produce something amazing for the community in the future.

Yeah i agree. This is the best community ive seen ever since joining xda in the TyTn II days. Lets keep it nice and friendly.

As for the OP im not quite sure about unlocking the bootloader as it is very new. I like to atleast wait a few days after thigs come out to be safe before flashing
