Bought "brand new" U11 on eBay...says Bootloader is relocked.

[nubreed000]

Am I taking any security risks if I input my usernames, passwords, start using this phone for banking purposes? It's S-On...and everything else seems legit, except for the fact that the bootloader is relocked, not locked. Which leads me to believe that at some point it's been tampered with in some way.

How would you guys proceed in this situation? Am I being too paranoid right now??

Just do a factory reset if your worried .That should wipeout everything and start u from scratch. Hth

Yeah, but the fact is that a relocked bootloader is not a "brand new" phone. Is an used one and it can takes problems with the warranty.
