- Vladimof 5y agoSo, I can unlock it using software and no-one else can? I just don't see how this is a secure lock...
- lern_too_spel 5y agoIf you see the message, and you didn't unlock the bootloader, somebody else unlocked the bootloader, and you should apply the appropriate level of distrust to the device. I agree that the message could be made more secure by displaying some hash of the system partition, so if you unlock the bootloader deliberately, you will know if somebody else replaced your modifications. Not displaying the message at all, as you've suggested, is a huge security risk.
