At this point, bricking a smartphone by flashing dodgy ROMs is a rite of passage.
Edit: at least it was before everyone started bootlocking like assholes…
You can unlock the bootloader of almost any phone in the EU.
Now, there will be literally no custom firmware for it, but its still possible.
Well, that would be nice, but it’s still not all of them. Unfortunately, I own a Zenfone 10 as my main driver, and Asus have not released the unlock tools they promised since Zenfone 9. And, afaik, this is applicable to a lot of the top producers, with a few exceptions.
I can’t wait for the new regulations to properly settle in, hopefully we’ll start seeing full unlocks with the upcoming generations…
Amen
Not sure if this is joke or not because that warning about xiaome service center in India is absolutely true.
God it’s so horrendous. I thought Micromax customer service was terrible but then Xiaomi arrived…
I remember bricking my Xiaomi as it were yesterday. Flashed the firmware for a Poco F4 on a Poco F1 because I was too dumb to read.
I looked for a fix a long time, the final solution was to throw it into the fucking trash. . .
Tap for spoiler
Of course I recycled it
what Xiaomi service center could do?
“could”, or “would”?
Or – hear me out – restore shit yourself via
edlAll of this is nonsense
Chat is this real?
No
That’s a joke, right?

most self-repairable phone in the world
You bricked a Fairphone 3?

Well, it’s most self repairable, not most durable and resistant. So time to repair 😂
This is not reality
