Some might ask – why unlock the bootloader if I’m not planning on using any custom ROMs? Although this is a good point, having an unlocked bootloader gives you more possibilities, should you ever brick your device. Also, there are some apps that require root access, that you might want to use in the future. Some good examples are Tasker, Titanium Backup, BetterBatteryStats and Greenify. If you’ve never heard about rooting, custom ROMs or these apps, you’re probably good using your 6P with a locked bootloader. If you’re still with me, then I’m happy to walk you through the unlock process. Let’s start!
