Couldn't find a lot on the specifics of decrypting the phone, if I do it can I still use a fingerprint to lock the phone? Or does it disable this? Also, is it possible to re-encrypt the device and is this process easy? Thankyou

Thankyou for the response, I don't suppose you could offer some advice on the re-encryption process?
Just go to Settings -> Security -> Encrypt Phone

Yes, you can still use the fingerprint lock with a decrypted phone. I have been since I got my 5x.
Or does it disable this?

No decrypting does not disable the use of the finger print.
Also, is it possible to re-encrypt the device and is this process easy?

Yes, as posted above, just press encrypt from the settings menu.

Yea, we may need more than this. What are you trying to do? If you're running XDAndroid, it is already rooted as hamagc pointed out...

Disable boot start? What does that even mean?
ya i'm still not catching you either. autostarts.apk is an app that will let you run selectable apps at boot (google). i see no reason this wouldn't work. is that what you are trying to do?
there is no boot start to disable on our devices.
For example, some worthless, I want to disable the boot
Ok... that's interesting. I don't think root access is your issue, it's probably something else... I just don't know what.
He's trying to keep certain programs from starting when Android boots up, I believe.

Thanks dude, I realize that... I was talking about the error in the picture.
Is it possible to lock or disable the bootloader so that if the phone gets stolen, it cant be booted to recovery?
No, restricting access to the bootloader is not possible.
Any particular reason you ask this?

that is "the particular reason". i wouldnt want my phone to be used if someone steals it. via bootloader you can install a rom and start using the phone as your own.

If you don't want anyone using your phone, log the IMEI and use that to report it stolen.
If you live in a half decent country, that will be enough to block your phone.

Because I need to send it in to get it fixed but they won't do it if it's Rooted they said
What does a broken screen have to do with the software? Are you paying for the screen replacement?

Who's "they"? As far as I know, as long as you're on OxygenOS and you've the stock kernel, you're Just fine. The root is irrilevant.

Yes.
They said it voids the warranty if I'm running a custom recovery/unlocked bootloader

Once your bootloader is unlocked anything can happen especially if you're rooted if you are worried about safety stock and locked
Safety is Broken Once You Unlock your BOOTLOADER

Then don't enable it. Google Camera has focus issues on Android Pie anyways (I'm assuming you've already updated your phone to Pie)

Install cam2API magisk module (google it) or add these lines to the build.prop and then reboot:
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
persist.camera.eis.enabled 1
