Murena Fairphones bootlocked?

[Jako]

Can’t seem to find this anywhere, but my simple question - are Fairphones from Muerna bootlocked?

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services

Answering my own question with another question Is the answer yes becasue of this from the Muerna website:
Bootloader locked- Yes

Afaik yes, if not it is stated in the shop eg cmf-1
My FP4 says yes at least

You can check your own device as illustrated in a thread with a completely different title.

This can be verified from the Bootloader screen

How to Boot into bootloader mode

…

1. Remove any USB-C cable and turn off your Fairphone 4

2.Tip:* If you cannot turn your device off, remove the battery for about 5 seconds, then put it back in.

3. Press and hold the Volume Down button.
4. Insert a USB-C cable connected to the power (can either be a power outlet or a computer).
5. Release the Volume Down button as soon you boot into bootloader mode

With all three Fairphones [ Buy from murena ] the bootloader can be locked again after installing /e/OS - but it doesn’t have to be!

Whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked can also be checked via fastboot:

@Xxpsilon

Run following commands in your fastboot terminal or CMD:

fastboot getvar unlocked
OR
fastboot oem device-info
OR
fastboot getvar all

Thanks for the replies! Should have been more specific - is it bootlocked when I buy it with /e/os pre-installed? I have no desire to install an OS myself on the phone, but I don’t want anyone else to either

Presumably the bootloader is locked again, but - you will only know for sure if you have checked it yourself, because mistakes also occur with Murn/e/a as illustrated here … Teracube 2e not de-googled

Mine came from murena with preinstalled e-os in early 2022 and stayed locked through official ota updates and upgrades.
