minus-squarehexagon527@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·13 days agoWhen they say One UI 8 does this include phones besides the Galaxy S25? I have an S24 and am hoping it won’t hit me
minus-squareredti@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·edit-213 days agoI have a s24 here and the last update to One Ui 7 removed the bootloader unlocking option in dev mode. But that was mounts ago and no one talked about it back then so they did it hidden in the dark. Disgusting. See by your self and confirm it.
minus-squarecoffeetastesbadlikecoffee@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-213 days agoHuh, I have the s23 and just updated yesterday. I still have it in dev options (haven’t tried enabling it though) Wierd if they allow it for older but not newer phones on the same os version. I would hate that though, I am really hoping to flash some other OS when Samsung stops with security updates.
