samueldr | * I was thinking that if you had the device tree around to look at you might be able to gauge whether it's relevant or not, and whether you're causing more work for the future :) | 19:54:08 |
samueldr | ah, don't need to get in touch | 19:54:28 |

| Xe (xe/they) joined the room. | 17:30:09 |
Xe (xe/they) | Thank you for making robotnix a thing. I just signed up as a GitHub sponsor and I'm looking at having my next phone be something that runs robotnix. Do you have any documentation out there on how to re-lock your bootloader with a custom key? | 17:31:24 |
danielrf | Xe (xe/they): Thank you very much for the sponsorship! Sure, items (4) and (6) here https://docs.robotnix.org/installation.html will add your custom key and re-lock the bootloader | 17:46:38 |
samueldr | Xe (xe/they): https://docs.robotnix.org/installation.html?highlight=relock | 17:46:38 |
Xe (xe/they) | oh | 17:46:49 |
Xe (xe/they) | lol i am blind | 17:46:52 |
Xe (xe/they) | sorry! ^^ | 17:47:00 |
samueldr | nah, you didn't already know where to look for | 17:47:04 |
samueldr | note that this is EXTREMELY dependent on the phone's implementation | 17:47:18 |
danielrf | Relocking the bootloader with custom keys is currently only supported in robotnix with Pixel phones and the vanilla or GrapheneOS flavors | 17:47:35 |
Xe (xe/they) | yeah, i am looking at either a pixel 4a or a 5a for this | 17:47:39 |
danielrf | that should work great then! | 17:47:48 |
Xe (xe/they) | how do you install google play as part of the rom? | 17:48:21 |
samueldr | some notes about relocking and OEMs that was linked here previously https://hub.libranet.de/wiki/and-priv-sec/wiki/verified-boot | 17:48:51 |
samueldr | danielrf: I assume you assume 5a will work since 5 and all previous work | 17:49:14 |
samueldr | I wonder if the pixel 6 with their "tensor" soc will work exactly the same or if there will be different behaviour | 17:49:32 |
danielrf | Xe (xe/they): We don't have opengapps or anything like that currently, so the best bet is probably via https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-play-services | 17:49:38 |
samueldr | AFAIUI their ABL implementation is qualcomm's | 17:49:53 |
danielrf | or via microg if that works for you | 17:50:03 |
samueldr | or intrinsically linked to qualcomm's | 17:50:06 |
samueldr | I assume pixel 6 will still allow enrolling custom keys, but I wonder how it will differ, if it will differ | 17:50:32 |
danielrf | I shouldn't have said Pixel 5a. There's some work that would still need to happen in an upstream project before we can support that device (https://github.com/aospalliance/android-prepare-vendor) | 17:51:54 |
Xe (xe/they) | oh heck the 5a isn't going to be launched in canada regardless lol | 17:52:20 |
samueldr | 5a is a likely candidate for this all to work though | 17:52:22 |
danielrf | Yes, I would expect it would be working within a few months at most | 17:52:34 |
Xe (xe/they) | i may go to a 4a then | 17:52:35 |
