What is oem unlocking?

OEM unlocking, also known as bootloader unlocking, refers to the process of unlocking the bootloader of an Android device. The bootloader is a program that initializes the operating system when the device is turned on. By default, most Android devices come with locked bootloaders to prevent users from making unauthorized changes to the system.

OEM unlocking allows users to unlock the bootloader, which in turn gives them the ability to install custom ROMs, root the device, and make other modifications to the system. However, unlocking the bootloader will void the device's warranty and may also result in data loss.

To unlock the bootloader of an Android device, users typically need to enable developer options and enable OEM unlocking in the settings. They also need to connect the device to a computer and use adb commands to unlock the bootloader.

It's important to note that OEM unlocking is not supported on all Android devices, and some manufacturers restrict users from unlocking the bootloader for security reasons. Additionally, unlocking the bootloader may also compromise the security of the device, so users should proceed with caution and fully understand the risks before attempting to unlock the bootloader.
