I thought you had to root the phone to install graphene?

[–] airman@infosec.pub 12 points 18 hours ago

IIRC, no. You unlock the bootloader to install, re-lock, and enjoy your phone.

[–] noname_no_worries@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

You have to unlock the bootloader, Grapheneos doesn't support root on the official builds.

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Nope, just unlock the bootloader through developer settings connect phone to USB, install through official website and lock the bootloader back. Currently only pixel phones are supported
