Fuck locked bootloaders.
Yes, even if you try to use the controls we have left, you will discover that they always clip out one little obscure but critical detail that means you can't actually use your device your way.
Example, starting ADB at boot in tcpip 5555 mode when your bootloader is locked
Then don't use the device.
(I myself can wait longer than many of their shareholders.)
I don't have the luxury of buying another.
I want legislative actions to make this illegal.
What do you need this device for?
Remotely operated wireless camera
