Consequences unlock the bootloader

Hello
I have some questions. Is there any consequences by unlocking boololader like a not working fingerprint sensor etc? After unlocking will working everything? And Is it possible to root htc 10 without unlockin bootloader?
Cheers
Unlocking will not break anything so you are safe to go. And it's impossible to root conveniently without unlocking the bootloader. (If any phone do root without unlocking, then it's seriously insecure by today's standard.)

is unlocking bootloader a must?

I purchase a 1+3 a week ago. I have everything setup has i wanne but my concern if the phone goes into bootloop or something goes wrong. Would u think im ok woth a locm bootloader or unlock bootloader is a must
Unlocking bootloader is only necessary if you want/need root and other modifications. If you're satisfied with the phone in its current state and only plan to use official ROMs, you don't need to unlock it.
Bootloops an similar issues are very rare on unmodified devices, no need to worry about this.
Besides, you can always factory reset or sideload stock ROM even with locked bootloader and stock recovery.

7T - preparing for root

I've asked this on Reddit already, but thought it was worthwhile to ask here as well
It's been a long time (3 years) since I had a device that I'd been able to root and I wanted to make sure I'm ready to do it on my UK 7T whenever a solution becomes available (I've checked here and it seems a bit hit and miss at the moment). In order to get my device prepped should I just unlock the bootloader and wait for someone to get TWRP and Magisk working? Basically, I want to avoid losing all my stuff in x weeks time when the process becomes safer/simpler and from memory I think unlocking the bootloader causes everything on the device to be wiped.
TLDR
2 real questions:
Does the process of rooting the device wipe it, or does that only happen when unlocking the bootloader?
If I unlock the bootloader when I first get the device, will this be me prepped for rooting later on without losing all of my data?
Thanks
If you're not going to install a custom Rom, you're prepared for root without losing your data. I did it too yesterday when my 7T arrived, right after update oxygenos.

I can't see myself moving from OOS, I just want root. So you're saying if I unlock bootloader from the off I'll be good for rooting in the future?

I'm changing from an iPhone 7+ to Oneplus 7T and got it yesterday. Why you don't make a backup when it's time for root? So far I can't see Custom ROMs or a working TWRP for the Oneplus 7T.

Yes, i lost data when unlocking the bootloader but then it was okay while rooting. I think you should unlock the bootloader and root as soon as you get the phone, but after updating to latest 10.0.4 version
Unlocked Bootloader / no Magisk Hide
Consider that apps like GooglePay or other apps will refuse working since they detect the unlocked bootloader state as possible security leak. GPay says, that due unlocked bootloader it does not want to initialze it.
So after facing this problems I would recommend, since magisk is limited to patching the actual boot.img, to stay on locked bootloader and unlock it after a secure method exists to install magisk and maybe TWRP. Otherwise, if you donot use these kind of apps, you can stay with unlocked BL.

How to relock bootloader?

Having some problems with my phone and want to return it to stock. How do I lock the bootloader without risking bricking my phone?
The steps are somewhere in here. Though you may want to think twice if you have a Verizon edition.

Can I downgrade from MIUI 12.5.2 android 11 to MIUI V10.4.5.0 android 9?

I have sent the unlock request to xiaomi so need to wait for a week to unlock the phone. I have found so many bugs on 12.5.2 specially battery drain so fast. I would like to know once is unlocked the bootloader can I downgrade from 12.5.2.0(RRGEUXM) to V10.4.5.0.PGGEUXM? If it can be done with MI flash tool and i want to use some banking apps can they be used or need to be lock again the bootloader? will I be able to unlock the bootloader in the future if needed again? Sorry for the questions I have no much idea . I really appreciate the help and support of the community. Thank you my anti number is 1
1. I think yes, with data wipe (select flash_all). Unlocking bootloader will also wipe your data so do it once and never look back. I haven't tested that. But undoable without data wipe, that's for sure. ROM region doesn't matter unless if you are planning to relock the bootloader
2. Depends on the apps. Some of them can be fooled by magisk hide, some of them even detect bootloader lock status (but how? idk). Just test your apps in every bootloader lock status scenarios, and you will find your answer (not only for banking apps. some apps will be locked out if it detects root/tampered boot)
3. No need to worry about anti rollback lock. It virtually doesn't exist in this device
