  They thought you meant carrier-unlocked.

  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.

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

    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.
