This is a list of phone manufacturers that lock their bootloaders to prevent people from installing custom operating systems (LineageOS etc) to remove bloatware and spyware/tracking.
You must log in or # to comment.
So…almost every company… It would have been easier to make a list about the companies who do allow bootloader unlock
even companies that don’t sell phones anymore; who’s still buying windows phones?!
Samsung? I’m pretty sure I saw bootloader unlocking in developer options though…
DO NOT UPDATE to OneUI 8
Checks System Info
OH SHIT.
The Amazon Fire Phone is conspicuously absent from this list.
