Light Phone III

Hello,

I am curious if there would be enough disappointed Light Phone III users that are unhappy with LightOS (which is not an OS) or with the locked Android layer. I got my phone to work thanks to https://www.reddit.com/r/ModifiedLightPhones but it is far from perfect, like I cannot replace the DAVx5 with a newer version to sync my work Google Workspace contacts/calendar.

What are the chances that the standard eOS builds might work?

Thank you.

You should look for “gsi” in this forum, with the magnifier.

Thank you for the hint, much appreciated.

I hope that your device support gsi install!

How can I find out that Light Phone III is supported? It has a regular Snap Dragon HW.

You can learn a little more by installing

From my IT-friend:

Unfortunately, I reached a blocker. I managed to make my windows recognize the phone in Fastboot mode, but even though the “OEM unlocking” option is enabled in the developer settings, Light Inc, has likely disabled bootloader unlocking in the firmware.
