Hey, If i were to buy a pixel 8 straight from Google, unlock the bootloader, install graphene, lock the bootloader, and then put it under my carrier… would I still be able to use grapheneos? I’m not sure if when T-Mobile carrier locks the bootloader, they also delete any OS that isn’t stock android.

Thanks!

    Umm, by definition, If you buy a device from Google, it’s not a carrier locked device.

    Carrier lock occurs on phone bought through a carrier, to prevent people purchasing a phone under contract and then using it on another carrier, to lock you to their service.
