Practically? Basically none at all.

If someone got physical access to your phone, they could install another OS without your knowledge.

Wouldn’t that wipe your device first with locked bootloader? You’d definitely notice.

Yeah, but if left unlocked then they could replace the OS or part of it without it being very obvious.

Not a thing most people just wanting better privacy need to worry about.

If I get hold of an unlocked Graphene phone, could I just flash stuff on it which is not properly signed by GOS?

Only if you unlocked the bootloader first which would wipe the device. Graphene relocks the bootloader after install.

Got confused about unlocked and thought you referred to unlocked lockscreen. Thanks.
