In principle, it is possible to lock the bootloader again on these four devices after installing a CustomRom, because the technical requirements for this are met. However, one avb custom key.bin must be used.

I’ve locked the bootloader again on all four devices, starting two years ago with a LineageOS fork (not /e/) based on Android 11, 12 and now 13. It works faultlessly.

Is there some guide or description for this procedure anywhere on the level of the /e/OS install guides, so that users who are able to follow /e/OS install guides would be able to do this?

Starting with a LineageOS fork means … running /e/OS now, or still the other fork?
Confirmation that this works with /e/OS would be preferrable, of course.

“SHIFT6mq now has relockable bootloader support” on /e/OS T (Android 13).
(Wiki post above edited accordingly.)

It is possible to lock the bootloader again on other devices after installing a source code based on LineageOS such as iodéOS, France.

Google Pixel 3, …, 6, 6a, 6 Pro, 7, 7a, 7 Pro
Fairphone 5 (FP5)

Perhaps the e-development team will also be able to do this?

The bootloader of the Fairphone 5 can be locked according to the documentation, I added it.

Might be a matter of documentation, but better safe than sorry before anybody can confirm in practice (or better: it gets added in /e/OS install documentation).

Yes, a correct and complete documentation would be desirable.

What a great list. Thanx a lot Piero. I just installed E/OS on a Oneplus 7 Pro.
Is it save to use a e/os when the bootloader can not be locked again?

the editable original first post was an empty shell, thanks to the members who have filled in ( i think @AnotherElk )

risk is, if you don’t set any password to unlock screensaver, someone (with the phone in hand) can access to your system and data.

risk is, if /data partition is not encrypted (but it is now encrypted by default), someone (with the phone in hand) can access to /data from TWRP mode.

… and there is a longer answer and discussion about bootloader locking here A discussion about bootloader locking/unlocking… AKA I want to relock my bootloader, should I?.

Okay so no problem whatsoever. I have my password and it is now encrypted.Gonna use fingerprint too then. That is good news.
Thank you very much Piero. It is a little ironic though for a privacy focused phone. But hey you can’t have it all I guess :slight_smile:

13

Thank you very much aibd I will check that out tomorrow.

14

Yes, privacy and security are two things…

15

Is there any evidence that this list is up-to-date and correct? A post in the ‘Feedback for 2.1’ thread has reported that Pixel 4 flame will not reboot after relocking the bootloader

16

The table in the Wiki post is based on /e/OS documentation, the date when the documentation was last checked is given in the table.

I added a warning for flame until we know for sure.

The moto g42 is missing in the lists. Anyone know if the moto g42 bootloader can be relocked?

18

The same logic the list is based on still applies … the install guide for the device doesn’t include locking the bootloader again after install, so that’s a No.

I added it to the list.

19

moto g32, g42, g52 all can be relocked in principle. It’s up to the rom builder for correct vbmeta entries. So “no /e/OS support” yet I guess (test in one slot?), but those devices can be relocked.

20

AFAIK all Pixel and most OnePlus devices support custom keys, meaning they should be relockable as long as the images are properly signed and the public key is installed in the avb_custom_key partition. Since /e/OS supports relocking in general, is there any reason it doesn’t for these devices?

Also OnePlus 5 and 5T should be relockable without any change, as they don’t verify signatures at all.
