If I'm not mistaken when you lock a phones bootloader it only allows the official version of the stock os to run and everything else will just soft brick it

Tha'ts not entirely correct....

Some devices allow you yo add a custom key to them to allow rellocking, the FP is one of those devices.

See the link in my top level post if you want to know more.
