LineageOS 19
I'm still pissed at Google for locking the bootloader on my Pixel 2. I bought the phone unlocked directly from Google, specifically so that I could install a custom ROM once Google stopped supporting it. But I sent the phone in to repair a broken USB port, and apparently it was Google's policy to send back a phone with a locked bootloader any time you get a repair.<p>I can't even get a response from Google's support about the issue. (Although, based on what I've seen from other people in the same situation, the response would be pretty useless if I did get one.)<p>I'm still using the phone, because the hardware is perfectly fine for my needs, but it's slowly turning into e-waste as the software gets more and more out of date. (I replaced the battery about a month before learning about the bootloader, so it's good for another 3-4 years.)<p>Edit: I'm not the only one this happened to - see <a href="https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/14920605/google-refurbished-pixel-2-is-always-defective-bootloader-unlock?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/14920605/google...</a> and <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/73217322" rel="nofollow">https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/73217322</a> and <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/68897739" rel="nofollow">https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/68897739</a> and <a href="https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rma-phone-from-google-is-not-unlocking-the-bootloader.3937931/" rel="nofollow">https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rma-phone-from-google-is-...</a> and <a href="https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oem-unlocking-grayed-out-on-non-vzw-pixel-2.3776763/" rel="nofollow">https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oem-unlocking-grayed-out-...</a> and <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/9xcdle/psa_rma_refurbished_pixel_2s_can_not_be/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/9xcdle/psa_rma_ref...</a>
