Do you know how to access developer tools in Android/GrapheneOS to do that (lock/unlock bootloader)?
In settings - about phone, tap the build number tab at the bottom like 7(?) times. That'll enable the developer section back in settings, and there's a bootloader option there, OEM unlocking.
THANK-YOU!!! Ugh, couldn't find that trick anywhere. Prolly should have YouTubed it a long time ago ๐ฎโ๐จ
No problem, glad I could help!
Do you know why someone might have a problem with using Fdroid. Use to be able to use it but now it will never download or install updates and I can't install anything anymore. Its got me really puzzling how to walk things back to where I used to be able to
I'm not really sure, apart from fdroid needing permission to install apps. I don't use fdroid, at least not directly. Most of my apps are installed through obtainium.
I figured it out. It was trying to route traffic through Tor for some reason which I have no need for. Problem solved, thanks though.
Had it too. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it for me.
