ah yes, correct. I don't know if disassembly is required for the HWID when its forced into bootloader lock, and i am not going to experiment to find out haha. But yes correct reasoning.

edit: sorry for bad reading comprehension it's late for me >_<

No disassembly required, the serial number is printed on the bottom exterior of the case.

It’s easy to swap the bottom. It’s also easy to search for a similar model brick the device, swap bottom with the serials, and send that.

You can also reprogram the serial with the right equipment but that is a much harder task
