Tried really hard to get boatloader unlocked, but did not manage.

I am sorry to say this and obviously many of you got it to work. But I always got the screen were the bootloader is locked.
With the CLI I got as far as:
"...
adb reboot bootloader"
That step worked fine, but then as mentioned it then showed:
"...
Device state: locked
..."
I will go with CalyxOS for the time being. The install skript there worked.
I will probably be back some other time to try again.
All the best

s6grgait Hi there!

I'm sorry that you seem to have trouble with installing GrapheneOS.

If you ever want to try again, know that we're always here to help!

For installation assistance specifically, I would highly recommend joining our Matrix rooms, as they are much better suited to in-the-moment assistance.

I hope to see you back :)

s6grgait Device state: locked

Yes, so the next step when you see that is to run the command "fastboot flashing unlock". It will then change that to say Device state: unlocked.

THX!

Did you try the Web Installer? It works fine for me.

Did you mention this step: "The command needs to be confirmed on the device and will wipe all data. Use one of the volume buttons to switch the selection to accepting it and the power button to confirm."?

dirksche OEM Unlocking has to be performed prior to installing GrapheneOS because it permits the Bootloader to overwritten with a new ROM.

I had absolute HELL getting the OEM Unlocking to be enabled on my Google Pixel 6a. Basically, I signed into the phone and went through at least 2 security updates and at least one full patch of the OS bringing it to the latest stable release.

Once that was done, FINALLY OEM Unlocking was available and I successfully installed GrapheneOS.

I also almost gave up, but this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qruzL9IdUr8 explained very well how to fix the OEM Issue (and what limitations are there, and for what cases would not be possible to do it at all).
