What Happens to Converted OnePlus Devices After the ColorOS Transition?
With OxygenOS and Realme UI reportedly being phased out in favor of ColorOS across all devices, I have a question for the custom ROM experts here.
We all know that ColorOS generally doesn't allow bootloader unlocking. Let's assume OnePlus still allows bootloader unlocking even after switching to ColorOS.
For example, if I buy a OnePlus 15, convert it to OxygenOS, unlock the bootloader, and keep using it, I know it currently receives OTA updates.
My question is: once OnePlus fully transitions to ColorOS, will OTA updates still work on a bootloader-locked device, or will I have to manually flash every update?
I'd really appreciate it if someone with experience in bootloader unlocking and custom ROMs could clarify how this is expected to work.
