• How can iodéOS (Lineage fork) be installed on phones with bootloaders locked?
• Why would phones like the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) and Note 9 appear on their list of phone that it can be installed on when it has “no” across the board on this list?
• On phones with the bootloader locked, does it just sit on top of the existing android OS?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I am looking at as many options as possible available with a decent phone and camera long term to move away from Android and Google completely. I have done in the past, but looking for semi long term for when Android becomes locked down.

I just don’t understand how they can create an installer that works with bootloader locked phones, and then the OS remain completely secure.

TIA
