I believe GrapheneOS is not available for the 10 series yet. I’ve been keeping on top of that since I want to change my phone in December, but so far, the last version of Pixel that is known to work with GrapheneOS is the 9 series.

spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoI just bought a Pixel 10 from Spectrum with the repeated assurance that the phone would be fully unlocked after it was paid off and had several months of service. I intended to load Graphene OS, but apparently I was fucking lied to yet again by another business that say anything to make a sale.
I can’t do anything about that now, but I can move to another carrier and make damn sure they don’t ever make another dime off my mobile account.

It is not yet available for the Pixel 10 and I believe it will be delayed because Google has made Android development private.

They thought you meant carrier-unlocked. That’s what most people care about, being able to switch providers.
I doubt they even knew what a bootloader is.

Once it’s carrier unlocked you should be able to unlock the bootloader though right?

I don’t believe they are related

Those are 2 entirely different things. There are phones that are carrier locked that can have the bootloader unlocked, also the other way around.
I would look at the model number, and then search if it’s bootloader unlock able in XDA developers or something like that.

Huh, guess I got lucky with my pixel 9 from mint mobile last year lol

Nope. I clearly told them I was going to install Graphene OS and I would not be changing carriers.
They didn’t know the real answer so they just made something up.
