@privacyguides I see it may be OnePlus, although can't confirm. Would be awesome, I like OnePlus's hardware personally. I currently do run LineageOS on the OnePlus 11 5G. That reminds me, I need to update it to LineageOS 23.0 today.

@korbs @privacyguides that would be incredible! My last phone was OnePlus and the hardware was great (especially for the price) but the OS was awful (and it was locked)

@tarix29 LOCKED?! By the carrier or did something else prevent the OEM unlock option?! OnePlus are easy to unlock for me, but I usually buy them out right.

@korbs If I recall correctly I got the phone carrier locked from T-Mobile

@tarix29 Same, but I was able to unlock OEM after purchase. It's found in the developer settings if I remember correctly.

and I use Mint Mobile, which works with T-Mobile locked phones, so I could still be locked to T-Mobile and not know it.

@korbs yeah I wanna say that option was greyed out but idk. After a bit of research I may have been able to unlock it with adb and possibly a token I can get from T-Mobile? I don't think I had the knowledge for that at the time. I still have the phone though so I might try it when I get a chance. It would be nice to have a de-Googled rooted phone in addition to my daily driver

@tarix29 It believe it needs to be unlocked with fastboot if you can get into that.

Good luck!
