LefoDpct I have been offered a used Pixel 8, presumably "unlocked". The seller is cooperative. How do we quickly confirm that GOS (including new boot-loader) can be installed on the device before consuming the transactions?
dapofi2471 LefoDpct You can also try this: A little bit more technical 😊 Enable Developer Options Settings → About phone → tap Build number 7 times. Enable OEM unlocking & USB debugging Settings → System → Advanced → Developer options → turn on OEM unlocking and USB debugging. Connect to a PC (Linux/macOS/Windows with the Android SDK platform‑tools installed). Open a terminal / command prompt and run: adb devices List of devices attached <serial number> device adb shell getprop ro.product.model Pixel <model> adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release <number> adb shell getprop ro.build.id <build_id> adb shell settings get global development_settings_enabled 1 adb shell settings get global oem_unlock_allowed 1 (BEFORE OEM UNLOCK) null (AFTER OEM UNLOCK) adb shell getprop ro.boot.flash.locked 1 adb reboot bootloader Search for: Device state: locked (unlockable) Have fun 😊
Probably9857 Enable the developer options menu by going to Settings > About phone/tablet and repeatedly pressing the Build number menu entry until developer mode is enabled. Next, go to Settings > System > Developer options and toggle on the OEM unlocking setting. https://grapheneos.org/install/web#enabling-oem-unlocking
