Hello community! A random thought just appeared in my mind. What would happen if we delete vbmeta sign partition from the device using either 'fastboot' or 'parted' tool. Will it brick the device? Or will it disable dm verity checks permanently?

Device running Android 9 on Unisoc 9863a chipset.

Will not necessarily hard brick ur phone you will be in an indefinite boot loop until you flash it back, you could just make a custom vbmeta. You could just follow this tutorial Custom vbmeta, it's an official tutorial from team hovatek.
