[@johnminor9539]

Your videos are very informative, and the way you present the info is laid back and easy to follow. I might give Graphene OS a shot down the road, but in the meantime, could you go through how you would set up the phone to be as secure as possible while still Googelfied? Thanks again for the informative videos.

[@CozyLivingMachine]

Thank you! And I'll give that some thought! I suspect it may be quite difficult, if not impossible, if only because Google logins are so embedded in the OS that unless you have created a brand new account and ensure that you don't ever log in to any other systems that are tied to your actual identity, it will be virtually impossible to have a functional device that allows you to get things done the way that you need to without revealing everything about yourself. The other issue is that while you might turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, these functions are not likely actually respected by the OS itself, same as web and search history, location history, logins and downloads, etc. I've actually set up my Pixel again with the stock ROM temporarily just for work (a video will be out tomorrow about this little detail in GOS) and it's clearly impossible to remain private in this OS. You cannot sign in to one app with one account and another app with a second account without indicating to the second app that you are also the first account (terrible wording, but I hope that's clear!) Again, I'll give it more thought, but I'm not certain from a privacy standpoint there's much to be done. As for security, however, stay up to date with apps and the operating system, and make sure you use a great password. To be most secure, don't use facial recognition (easier to be spoofed) and any time you are on a traffic stop or at an airport, restart your device (disabled all biometric authentication, ensuring better security)!

Hey Joel, I too de-Googled my Pixel 3AXL and it just didn't work out, but it was easy to reinstall Android 12. My question now is in 2023, some apps have updated to past Android 12 and they're no longer compatible. I was wondering if you could advise if you think flashing Android 13 would help that situation and would you use a custom ROM and if so which one? I really don't know too much about custom ROM's and if they'd fix my out of date phone issues. Thanks!

Cheers! After finishing watching some of your Graphene related videos I wanted to ask you a question which is : I have a Google Pixel 6a, it is unfortunately MDM'd, I can only but use a workaround like APK Pure to not rely on Google Play Services but I am not convinced that it's safe and I do not want this device perma locked/ bricked. So, after checking a looooot of your comments, I came to the conclusion that installing GrapheneOS would at least grant me some liberty for my device, but, is it possible to install GrapheneOS, overwriting the stock ROM and bypass all MDM measures ?

[@CozyLivingMachine]

Hello! The MDM software may block developer options or the OEM unlocking, but if not, absolutely. Erase and restore GrapheneOS and you're free!

[@CozyLivingMachine]

That's an interesting question. I'm going to assume not... It doesn't mean you can't flash the baseband if the radio channels exist on the modem itself, but it appears that (at least the US one) supports: [5G Sub 6GHz] Model GP4BC: GSM/EDGE: Quad-band (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) UMTS/HSPA+/HSDPA: Bands 1,2,4,5,6,8,19 LTE: Bands B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/14/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/32/38/39/40/41/46/48/66/71 5G Sub-616: Bands n1/2/3/5/7/8/12/14/20/25/28/30/38/40/41/48/66/71/75/76/77/78 OR: [5G mmWave + Sub 6GHz] Model GE2AE GSM/EDGE: Quad-band (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) UMTS/HSPA+/HSDPA: Bands 1,2,4,5,6,8,19 LTE: Bands B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/14/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/38/39/40/41/42/46/48/66/71 5G Sub-616: Bands n1/2/3/5/7/8/12/14/20/25/28/30/38/40/41/48/66/71/77/78 5G mmWave16: Bands n257/n258/n260/n261 OR for Japan only: [5G mmWave + Sub 6GHz JP] Model GFE4J GSM/EDGE: Quad-band (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) UMTS/HSPA+/HSDPA: Bands 1,2,4,5,6,8,19 LTE: Bands B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/14/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/38/39/40/41/42/46/48/66/71 5G Sub-616: Bands n1/2/3/5/7/8/12/14/20/25/28/30/38/40/41/48/66/71/77/78 So if you're looking at a device locally, I would check out if one of these will meet your carrier's needs and verify the specific model before purchasing, but unfortunately if the bands or frequencies aren't built in, it won't be possible to unlock them.

When I am trying that popup is not coming . COuld you please help me "how you got that popup from google".

[@CozyLivingMachine]

That's frustrating! The pop-up to unlock the bootloader comes automatically from the Google flash site. During that process, it will acknowledge the device, download the firmware and OS, then it will automatically prompt you on the site itself when you should unlock the bootloader. It will walk you through everything that you should need to do!

[@kimisadventuretime1656]

How to resolve it says Flash Failed Your device appears to be in use by another program (for example: command line adb).lf you use command line adb you may have to run adb kill-server. Closing and reopening you browser may also help resolve this issue.

Congrats, again! And $250/mo. That is ROBBERY. S%&@! And Mint uses the T-Mobile network, which is what we have for our internet and phones, and it's pretty fantastic, VERY fast.

Can I do this with a refurbished phone that I bought off BackMarket? Just so I can get the potential spyware off of it.

Of course! As long as it's able to be bootloader unlocked (any carrier unlocked phone should be able to be)

You skipped the part explaining how to unlock your bootloader. "Hold the power down button."?
