The first pixel I picked up for this was "unlocked" version which meant it was locked harder than any other device could be. The second was DOA and it wasn't until the 3rd that I got it to work. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 point 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 child) What you want is both Carrier and OEM unlockable. Carrier means you can use it on any cell service, OEM means you can flash Lineage or Graphene. I have 3 Pixel 5's right now running Lineage, I hammer on phones big time, and they run great. Paid about $100 for each of them on ebay. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] relaymoth@sh.itjust.works 1 point 5 months ago A good rule of thumb, stay away from Pixels that came from Verizon. AFAIK they're the most hostile US carrier and their Pixels cannot unlock the bootloader. permalink fedilink source parent
