Closing the bootloader, backing up before, and are these things even necessary?

@Maschinenstuermer

then can relock my phone.

Except

@aibd

there are extra precautions one must take if you lock the bootloader after a period of use.

@piero

• Check bootloader status by copy this command, paste it into the terminal and press enter :

./fastboot oem device-info

./fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability

if the return is 1

…

@Maschinenstuermer

is there a situation where relocking the bootloader will ever be problematic for an /e/ OS update?

Ever is a strong word, but it is not expected but plenty of room for user error in locking.

@Maschinenstuermer

Any form of experience you made

My potentially lockable FP3 remains unlocked but I have zero interest in using a banking app.
