Hello everyone.
I was wondering if there is a practical difference between unlocking a bootloader (Xiaomi, in this case) officially and unofficially.
I've always unlocked the bootloader of every phone I've had unofficially and now, out of curiosity, I've unlocked one the official way.
Unofficially unlocked bootloaders often get relocked with certain ROMs and certain procedures, I was wondering if an officially unlocked bootloader would be different, maybe more resilient, I haven't tested it yet.
What do you think? Is it different in any way? Does it allow you to install certain ROMs without relocking? Any advantage on unlocking officially?
(For example, from MiUi 8 global stable from xiaomi.eu to MiUi 9 global developer from xiaomi.eu, the bootloader locked unofficially gets relocked).
I don't know it there is a difference with the officially unlocked one.
Thank you.
