Question Bootloader unlockable?
- Thread starter DarkestSpawn
- Start date
ONly china variant is out currently (31st jan) (unlockable) so obviously no one can tell you about global variant
Edit:
Finger print reader becomes disabled after unlock
You will need a cheap plastic device from ebay to recalibrate the fingerprint reader and it will work again after that (or relocking)

So you originally stated: "Redmagic phones have always been bootloader unlockable." which is great and what I thought but this is what I got every time I rephrased/reworded my question to thier support team:
"Dear Valued RedMagic Customer,
Thank you for contacting us.
We are sorry to inform you that we do not have any device with an unlocked bootloader.
Once we hear back from you, we will certainly help you with your query as soon as possible.
Best Regards!"
All the different ways I attempted to get an answer:
"I understand that the bootloaders always shipped locked. Does any variant/region of the Red Magic 8 Pro have the capability of being bootloader unlocked by the end user? via adb/fasboot commands EX: "fastboot oem unlock"."
"Are any of the RedMagic 8 Pro series bootloader unlockable? And if so, what model and regions?"
"The Red Magic 7 can be OEM unlocked (bootloader unlocked). Can I please be connected with a tech at this point?"
The last one was an attempt to get away from customer service but still got the generic response.
Hi, you can unlock the BL in the fastboot, this has been confirmed in the China variant.
Then you may loose finger print data, so better unlock the bl without any settings.

So then why did the seller on Ali tell me the global version is locked? Answers are all over the place regarding whether the global variant is unlockable or not. If what you're saying is correct then it should be unlockable.
because in china its normal for sellers to unlock bootloader and flash a global rom, so he just means, no he sells a stock phone thats not been unboxed and flashed, but the phone is unlockable.
I know that this next question were asked before, but i keep not understanding much about it: if i revert back the root completely (unroot the phone, lock the oem and delete "third party apps" like magisk, etc.) will my warranty be back? i am talking about the redmagic 8 pro void specifically. Can someone help me understanding this? i have searched on internet about this and they all say that simply it depends on manufacturers to "detect" if the warranty was void (even if you unroot and lock oem and all).... Thank you in advance
Мне удалось заблокировать загрузчик. И у меня все работало и отпечатки пальцев и все. Просто пришлось два раза подряд обновить телефон версии 4.18 в корень телефона через три точки Red Magic 8 pro 11.03.2023
Mod translation: I managed to lock the bootloader. And everything worked for me and fingerprints and everything. I just had to update the phone version 4.18 twice in a row to the root of the phone through three points Red Magic 8 pro 03/11/2023
