>>83494682Everything's fine. I appreciate people just asking for advice. I mean, I'm just a Joshu on 4chan. I could talk bullshit. But as long as it sounds plausible, it might be better than some answer of an AI model. These might tell you similar things but more on the "you can do that, but don't do it because it's dangerous" with no further explanation _why_ it's dangerous. Because knowing means you might know how to avoid it.
Once you start messing with a phone's ROM, you'll quickly get confronted with unlocking the boot loader and modern phones of big brands usually tell you before booting that this is the case and you should see this device as compromised. It's basically true because it might have left the state the vendor thinks it should have
(conspiracy: The factory image is already compromised and spies on you).
So (you) are now responsible to either do everything yourself or trust other people. And as long as this is all fine, the only danger for (you) is, when you give your phone out of your hands and someone has the chance to wire it up to a computer. An unlocked boot loader means, you have full write access to system data which is usually read-only and can only be changed when the boot loader gets an installation package with signed with a signature it trusts. It'll reject any unsigned installation packages.
