Rom

[Piksel137]

do I need to unlock the bootloader to upload a newer version of android via odin?

[Cosmin-J]

Yes

[Pugs1957]

That's incorrect.

I'm sorry if I'm wrong, as far as I know, to do usb custom rom or official rom write via odin, you need the bootloader unlocked, is not official update ( sorry again , I'll guide anyone else as you know better) thanks

No need for any apologies, it's only custom ROMs that require an unlocked bootloader. 😉

[Cosmin-J]

Well , do you need to unlock the bootloader or not? I'm confused now 🤔

[Pugs1957]

Custom ROM, yes. Stock ROM, no👍
