    Locked bootloaders are a good thing. Especially after you have flashed your custom rom on there already. You dont want someone coming in after the fact modifying your bootloader.

    If there is a command line option to disable this bootloader temporarily AFTER you have unlocked your phone, then relock it again AFTER you have unlocked your phone, then this is a non-issue for me.

    No matter what though, GrapheneOS doesn’t run on Samsung phones, so they’re useless phones to me.

      The Samsung bootloader is locked by default. They’re talking about it being unable to unlock it.

      So basically its impossible to install any custom firmware on it meaning you are stuck with Samsung’s own crappy rom.

        There aren’t any good custom roms for Samsung phones anyway, so i guess samsung might as well lock down at least their version of android.
