[Please help] Looking for phone models that can easily be rooted and IMEI can be changed.
(03-10-2024, 03:32 PM)jamesckell I made the mistake of buying a phone without doing research and I realized the bootloader can't even be unlocked and it can't be rooted. So I was wondering if anyone can give me specific phone models on Aliexpress that the bootloader can easily be unlocked, rooted and its IMEI can be changed if possible, thanks.You can choose between Xiaomi, OnePlus, Google Pixel (factory unlocked), and Samsung devices (particularly Exynos models and non-US versions) for their ease of customization, including bootloader unlocking and rooting. You just need to do some research on which phone you want to buy.

Listing out specific models will take a lot of time and effort, but here are some key points:
Xiaomi Devices: Most models can be easily unlocked.
Samsung Exynos Models: Generally, these allow bootloader unlocking.
Samsung Snapdragon Models: Usually cannot be unlocked.
Google Pixels: Non-carrier ones can be unlocked. Some carrier models might be unlockable too, but Verizon Pixel devices cannot be unlocked.
OnePlus: Most OnePlus devices have unlockable bootloaders.
Sony: Several Sony Xperia models allow bootloader unlocking.
Motorola: Some models, especially those sold in Europe, have unlockable
Devices with MediaTek chipset: Can be unlocked using MTK Client Exploit, though this depends on the security patch level and recent chipset are not supported yet

Thank you for the Blackview BV5900 suggestion but it seems like it was released in 2019 and it's hard to find some to buy. Do you know other phone models that I can easily buy from aliexpress, thanks.(03-10-2024, 03:32 PM)jamesckell I made the mistake of buying a phone without doing research and I realized the bootloader can't even be unlocked and it can't be rooted.

It would help to know what other specs you're looking for like Android version, Chipset etc but Blackview BV5900 should do alright
