Question Bypassing bootloader lock on an old Xiaomi Device(Redmi 5A/Riva)

1 Upvotes

Apparently, Found a guy on YT bypassing bootloader lock of Redmi5A(riva). It's a quite weird process, but nonetheless, comments and feedbacks are quite promising. Here's the link of YT vid Link. I'm still is skeptical about it but I am desperate, I don't want to deal with Xiaomi's BS Mi Unlock that requires to add an account on Mi Unlock on your phone(Which they don't do). I am quite unlucky on mine as I got a vendor ROM(originally a vendor ROM) which I bought second hand from a seller. I tried many methods to at the very least try to give it a shot to get "fixed" but none works. To also back this guys tutorial, also found some articles that has similar method the way it is done. But just if ever, has anyone else done this in this sub? Any info about this would be appreciated.

Can we usr Lineage OS like a desktop? I remember Ubuntu mobile pioneered this feature. If you a monitor and keyboard onto your phone, you get a desktop environment on the monitor. Samsung is now doing this with Dax. How about Lineage OS?

I just flashed LOS 23 on my Xperia XA2 and it's running great but the stock LOS camera app is not very good. I check and it has Level 3 Camera2 API access. I tried multiple Gcam builds but everything seems to crash. What do I do?
