ErnestThornhill Thanks. I thought I saw somewhere that Graphene takes care of the firmware as well. I appreciate it.

Hello all, I just got a used Pixel 7 Pro and I am planning on installing Graphene OS soon. My question is do I need to roll back to Android 14 prior to installing? Currently on 15.
Thank you!
Blastoidea I purchased a Pixel 6 from Best Buy because FedEX stole the Pixel 6 I ordered from the Google Store. The Best Buy phone was the Google version and has an un-lockable boot loader. I'm running Graphene on it.
treequell Am interested to hear what other people do.
I use Warpinator and you just share the file with Warpinator and select which device to send it to. Works over local lan and is very quick. On the receiving device it will land in a Warpinator folder. This isn't the best option for huge transfers but works well for smaller ones.

kt725 hey im pretty new to this, wanting to buy from ebay. if its listed as unlocked does that mean i will be able to use on all carriers and unlock the bootloader?
ThanksNot necessarily, unlocked usually just means carrier unlocked. Some Pixels that were sold through US carriers will not allow you to unlock the bootloader. You want the Google variant, not a carrier version.
I would agree. I've never needed a carrier app on any of the big carriers in the US.
ozymoondias Yeah it sounds like you have a "carrier version" that has the bootloader unlock removed. I would return the phone and try to get a Google version.
TechNormie I exported them from my Google account using my pc then moved the files over to my phone. Granted this was a while ago because I self host my contacts and calendar on my NAS now.
It might be worth a try.Kottonballs I saw the same thing. One random reboot and that was it. No reboots since.
TechNormie This kinda sounds like a formatting error during the contact import. Were your contacts stored locally on your old device or were they Google contacts? If they were/are Google contacts you could try exporting them as a .csv file from Google directly on the web.
