      @electro1 Not sure if it’s still the same thing, but you can toggle the OEM Unlock option for Nokia G22 in the Developer Options menu, in the settings.

          flashing a custom ROM that was intended for a particular device into another, is a guaranteed way of breaking that device.

          I wasn’t talking about that at all. I just refered specifically about unlocking the bootloader. I know you have to find a specific ROM for every specific device.

          So weird I cannot find one though. I bought the G22 because it just seemed the most affordable alternative to a Fairphone (i.e. you can change the battery and the screen if something happens, or the fingerprint sensor/lock button etc.).

          On XDA there is not even a section for it.

          Also Nokia is owned by Microsoft

          No, they’re not any longer. Since a few years already. They gave up their rights to the brand after their phone projects flopped.

          Nokia is now HMD Global. Not sure if they are better though…

        Sometimes that does nothing, like on the meta quest 3.

        (Also, salut!)

    Unlock tool is unavailable at this moment but we are allowing the possibility to unlock, please stay tuned

    One year later, radio silence

    So it was a lie to not lose potential sales in short term while destroying credibility in long term?

      It’s sad, but only too tiny fraction of the phone buyers care about unlocking the bootloader for the company to be economically meaningful to care about.

    I was looking for a new smartphone. I’m also for many many years a custom ROM user. The last moves from multiple manufacturers nearly oblige me to get a pixel.
