Comment on Samsung Embeds Israeli Surveillance App on Phones Across MENA
masterofn001@lemmy.ca 5 days agoI have a Canadian carrier purchased phone. Brand new Pixel 9. 5$ a month. For 24 months.
It has only ONCE booted to the Google version of Android.
To flip the toggle to enable OEM unlock.
I kept WiFi off and hadn’t inserted a SIM so it couldn’t update or do anything else that might have prevented flashing graphene.
Not sure if that was necessary, but it worked.
And now I live my life free of google software surveillance.

Just so nobody else is confused, Canadian carrier phones legally have to be sold unlocked as of 2017

Carrier unlocked, yes.
Bootloader unlocked, no.
