are there like any ROMs that Support being rooted and still lock the Bootloader? i have tried LineageOS and CalyxOS but neither of them worked, Lineage just refused to lock, and calyx startet bootlooping with the Message “no operating system found”
better yet is there any ROM that comes pre-rooted?
cause i need a locked Bootloader or otherweise WhatsApp (which i unfortunately need) wont work, but coming from a rooted rom, unrooted android is unbearable
i am asking this as CalyxOS and GrapheneOS support locking the Bootloader, so i thought surely it must be possible to make a rom that has magisk included and can relock the Bootloader
The OS needs access to the keys accepted by the bl. Pixels have that, so graphene can relock. Other vendors don’t give this opportunity, so Roms like los which support many devices, better be safe than sorry.
Try relock on a xiaomi device and you have unrecoverable hard brick.
Yeah it is possible, GrapheneOS flashes their own verified boot key when you install it. This also means you have to reset these keys if you want to go back to stock.
I’m not sure why lineageos doesn’t do this, might just be a lot of work for all the devices they support. GrapheneOS only has to support the last couple of pixels after all.
