πWHAT IS A BOOTLOADER?? AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT??π
In short, A bootloader is a software that runs every time your phone starts up. It tells the phone what programs to load in order to make your phone run
When you turn on the phone, the bootloader does the important job which is starting up the OS. And this is the reason why phone keeps their bootloaders stored in stable memory.
πWHY IT IS IMPORTANT?? π
The bootloader has more important functions, Bootloader can start up Recovery Mode, it can execute large pieces of code that totally rewrite the Android Operating System
The bootloader is important because it loads both of these pieces of software. With a working Bootloader, your phone is nothing but just a useless brick.
πWHAT IS A LOCKED BOOTLOADER??π
A locked bootloader means you can't install your own Operating System. It means if you want to install the latest version of any custom ROM with a locked bootloader it is impossible!! Sorry but this is the TRUTH!!
Locking the bootloader is a very serious practice with some serious implications. It might be disliked by Android Developers and Enthusiasts who wish to install Custom ROMs or something to change the phone.
