I've unlocked my bootloader and i use custom kernel and rom. if I want to remove the network lock, it will brick the phone?
If not, which method would be safe to manage this thing?

I couldn't find anything by searching the older threads so here is my question:
Is it possible (and reasonably save) to try and unlock the bootloader in a SIM locked x8? Just to clarify: I don't want to remove the SIM lock from my phone - I'm happy with my current provider. I'm just wondering if I can unlock the bootloader while I still have a SIM lock on my phone.
All the threads about unlocking seemed to be concerned about how the phone was SIM unlocked rather than whether it was actually necessary...
Thanks a lot in advance..!
anyone please?
I just want to know if I can unlock my bootloader while I still have a SIM lock in place. Or will I brick my phone then? I don't want to remove the SIM lock. Just flash a custom kernel so I can get proper wifi tether...

i want to unlock my phone so it will be sim-free,withot purchasing unlock code,is it possible?
if i unlock my bootloader it will help?
there are other possible ways ?
I believe, network unlocking will only work with an unlock code. So you have to buy one.
Unlocking the bootloader wont help in this situation.
Anyway, if you have a Droid, then your bootloader is not locked by default, but if you have a Milestone, theres a bad news, you cant unlock its bootloader.
Is it possible to install Magisk and then relock the bootloader?
This is on OPWS27.1.3 (March update, Android 8.0)
Aka:
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash Magisk boot
3) install Magisk
4) relock bootloader
The general advice is to not lock the bootloader with custom or modded ROMs. If you want to throw caution to the wind, you probably want to have a stable, custom recovery first.
The dangers of locking it is that you will probably get stuck with a soft bricked device.

Ah, that's unfortunate. I was hoping to be able to essentially add sudo usable via adb when debugging is enabled leaving everything else intact. Is it possible to gain root privileges without unlocking the bootloader or using a modded ROM?
as title....
No, it's unlocked. It locks when you lock it...updating, downgradinging, returning factory settings doesn't change that.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader? (installing custom ROMS)
Still a no go.
An emerging solution seems to convert the phone to chinese model via Teamviewer, which MIGHT have a bootloader unlock, but I really don't recommend it (modem bands lost, etc)
