Why am I seeing a message about my bootloader not being locked when setting up the device?
+ +If you are seeing this warning when setting up your device after GrapheneOS + has been installed, it means that not all of the installation steps have been + completed. This can be remediated by finishing the installation process and + locking the device's bootloader.
+ +To do this, follow these steps:
+ +-
+
- Navigate to the bootloader locking section of the web install + (recommended) or CLI install + guide on the device you'll be using to lock the bootloader. +
- If you are at the welcome screen on your GrapheneOS device, tap "Next". +
- On the resulting screen, tap "Reboot to bootloader". +
- Connect your GrapheneOS device to the device where you have the install page open. +
- Follow the steps on the install page to lock the bootloader. +
- Once locked, you can start setting up your GrapheneOS device, and the warning should no longer be present. +
It is important to note that this is something that should be done before + placing any data onto the device, as until this step is completed, the device is + considered to be insecure. Please note that locking the bootloader wipes all + user data on the device. GrapheneOS doesn't provide any support to users running + GrapheneOS with an unlocked bootloader, as this is considered to be an + incomplete installation.
