ColorOS officials have recently announced an update to the Bootloader unlock process for the ColorOS 16 system, aimed at bolstering device security and enhancing system stability. To unlock their Bootloader, users must now fulfill specific criteria and apply to join the deep testing program. Officials caution that unlocking may pose risks, including functional irregularities, data loss, and potential personal information breaches. Once unlocked, devices remain eligible for warranty services, and the standard triple service guarantee is reinstated upon reverting to the official system. The application process has been streamlined, eliminating the need for questionnaire responses, and unlock permissions are typically granted within 1-2 business days upon approval, with no current quota limits. This change does not affect the unlock policies for previous versions, and the new policy will take effect with the initial rollout of OnePlus devices featuring ColorOS 16 in the latter half of the year. ColorOS officials advise users to exercise caution when embracing this increased operational freedom to prevent any unnecessary losses.
