Hi all! I’m thinking of buying a HiBreak Pro Color to build a custom minimal e-ink device on, and the deciding factor is whether the bootloader can be unlocked. I can’t find anyone who has tried, so I’m hoping an owner can help with a quick check.

It only reads a setting and changes nothing

1. Settings → About phone → tap Build number 7 times to enable Developer options
2. Open Developer options and look for a switch called “OEM unlocking”
3. Reply with whether it’s there and whether it’s greyed out. don’t turn it on, just check that it exists.

Option B: if you have a computer with adb

With USB debugging enabled, run:

adb shell getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported
adb shell getprop ro.boot.flash.locked
adb shell getprop ro.build.display.id

and paste the output. 1 on the first line would mean Bigme built the firmware to allow unlocking.
