On rooted phone you can use modules like HMA-OSS, ReZygisk, PIF and other tweaks depending on your root method and it can be easily bypassed, I managed to bypass that on my Magisk rooted Pixel.

Once my current subscription expires, I will never buy their vpn and switch to another provider.

There wasnt any 9 for sale so I bought 9a instead few days ago, because Samsung removed the option to unlock bootloader in OneUI 8.0, but so far it's going fine.

To add to what you said, I would like to add that there is a great app on F-Droid that centralizes way to see all devices and which ROMs/custom recoveries a particular device support, XDA thread for specific device, download links to specific ROM for specific device etc, so it saves you a lot of time.

Hi,

Which decent phone that will last me for some time and wont break easily is the best to buy that lets you fully unlock the bootloader so I can flash custom ROM on it and root it if I wanted to by for example using Magisk by flashing patched boot.img and (optionally if specific model allows) installing custom recovery?

I have a Samsung that I could unlock bootloader on, however Samsung decided to block the option to unlock OEM starting in One UI 8.0 on all regions, and I was unlucky enough to update my phone (because I didnt know) so I cant root/flash custom ROM on it.

My guess would be some Google Pixel model,? but which one should I buy that has support for most ROMs and TWRP?

Google is also soon introducing mandatory ID verification for developers that want to publish their apps on Play Store on all Andro id verified devices, whch is another reason I want a phone that I can flash custom ROM on and root.

Also where should I buy new phone from? I think I should avoid buying from carrier and instead buying it online or from local electronics store?
