Oh yeah I forgot about that part.
When I bought my last phone, I unlocked the bootloader, was on my way to flash a new ROM when during checking all the functionality was working (as one should) I realized the camera was fucked. So I had to get it replaced (unfortunately no warranty repair option in the store where I bought it), and then couldn't unlock the bootloader for like half a year :/
Yikes, fortunately I never had stubborn phones like that. My last phone was a Sony that I vaguely miss for its gigantic screen (and the fact that it was free for me ๐ธ), and thankfully it was easy to unlock
