Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable

  I just got a pixel 10 the moment I heard that Google wants to lock down android and I didn’t want to waste any time. I paid off my Samsung s23 and before even loading my Sim I installed grapheneOS.

  I had a motorola G5 before my Samsung but it broke.

  At least my Samsung is still intact. I can’t wait to format it and load a prepaid if I need a travel phone.

  I’m suspicious as hell. What kind of backdoors did they put in?

  Its funny seeing everyone here demand an sdcard/removable battery/3.5mm jack claiming to represent all GOS users, actually looking at the GOS matrix chat I don’t see any of these people there. Do any of you even use GOS?

    Exactly my thoughts/concerns. I seem to remember Motorola has a decent reputation when it comes to unlocking bootloaders, though.

    I haven’t seen them say anything about their older phones so I would assume this only applies to the new one

      I was meaning more of their Android by default phones, like most retailers are going to only sell the android version

      they specify the grapheneos devices so I’m assuming they have a dedicated grapheneos OS product line.

    I can’t imagine that a standard android version of the same phone would not also have the relockable boot loader. But I wouldn’t necessarily expect that feature to be on every phone series though.
