    The official process was a pain anyway, as it required sending personal identification data to China. Anyone that wants a custom ROM on their phone should be looking elsewhere, although I don’t know of any brand that makes that process easy anymore

        OnePlus phones have green lines on screen and damaging motherboard issues.

          Heard about this too I believe this was mostly an issue in India because of their slightly different models?

          I’ve had the OnePlus 6 and the OnePlus Nord N200 and I’ve not seen those things occur but thanks for the information.

      Agreed, the official process was a massive pain and borderline non functional.

      So far I couldn’t unlock the bootloader because whenever I add a number it tells me to try again tomorrow
