      @roka @maiyannah @mangeurdenuage >On compatible devices, the new Verified Boot changes in Android 8.0 Oreo will prevent a device from booting should it be rolled back to an earlier firmware. The new feature is called Rollback Protection. So if your phone is flashed with older software, you (and your data) are protected from whatever potential security vulnerabilities may have been present in earlier versions.
      
      Hahaha this is the stupidest fucking thing ever if your phone ever gets softlocked by a bug in the current OS, or if there's a bug that kills its battery life, or there's any sort of quality-of-life bug that would be fixed by rolling back even a single update. Especially when a lot of manufacturers and phone companies actually roll out updates themselves and might just land on a final update that ruins particular hardware.
      
      Fucking genius.
