The OS needs access to the keys accepted by the bl. Pixels have that, so graphene can relock. Other vendors don’t give this opportunity, so Roms like los which support many devices, better be safe than sorry.

Try relock on a xiaomi device and you have unrecoverable hard brick.


A locked bootloader looks for official ROM signatures, which a custom ROM doesn’t have.

That’s why this is impossible. You can hard-brick your phone, that’s why LineageOS doesn’t allow you to relock.





Do NOT relock a phone unless stock ROM is installed!

The system image signature will be different and you will brick your phone.

This is true for Samsung and Xiaomi, might not be true for Pixels, but I wouldn’t risk it.


Its hard but rewarding, and perfectly doable given you want to do it.

Note that there are a few mandatory requirements for a port to be feasible, like unlocked bootloader and vendor sources available for kernel.

As newby, you also want already existing ports to start from.

Also, some powerful hardware to build on (32+gb ram, 10+ cores, 100+GB storage).

Also older (up to A11) can be real bitches, after A12 things are improving a bit.


You need to copy or grab or create the device tree files. Usually by cloning a similar device. Vendor files are extracted from stock rom. Kernels, you need an official release from vendor to start width.


You are welcone in any case. Its a rewarding and also tough experience.


It’s a sub-brand Xiaomi phone from a couple of years ago. Going strong… From A10 to A13 and next year A14 too…


I wouldn’t dream to use any stock android at this point. Been on LOS forever and each new phone I buy either check if Los is available or, in one case (my current phone) I ported Los for it myself.


Might and Magic: World of xeen (clouds of xeen + darkside of xeen). I still replay it today on dosbox. An amazing mix of fun, things coming toghether and hard battles, an extensive and complex objects system, classes, and lots of great ideas. All in a 90’a game.
