I thought you had to root the phone to install graphene?

[–] airman@infosec.pub 12 points 7 hours ago

IIRC, no. You unlock the bootloader to install, re-lock, and enjoy your phone.

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Nope, just unlock the bootloader through developer settings connect phone to USB, install through official website and lock the bootloader back. Currently only pixel phones are supported

You have to unlock the bootloader, Grapheneos doesn't support root on the official builds.
