It’s a Moto G 5G 2024 (Model XT2417-1) Factory Unlocked (Costed me $140 for the phone)

Done via a Steam Deck* running a Linux Mint on a (Live OS) USB Stick (USB Hub needed in order to plug in keyboard and mouse, the Boot Stick, and the OTG Cable to the phone, and the hub also needs to be powered.)

As for the unlocking, just look up the website and follow instrucion. Phone needs to be connected to the internet for about a week (6 days for me) to get the OEM Unlocking thing Un-Greyed so that you can toggle it on.

Seeing all those command lines feels like hacking :P

(*Who needs a computer when you have a steam deck as a computer xD)

(Yes I know about Graphene, but didn’t feel like getting a used phone that might not unlock, and definitely don’t wanna spend $500 for a new one)

I hope this is the inspiration y’all need to attempt this yourself. Because I’m a total noob and idk how command lines work and I did it by simply copy-pasting. Anyone can do it.

        I used a GSI on an LG I had and the fingerprint sensor worked fine. I’m not saying it will work on yours, but unless you know someone has the exact same model as you and has confirmed it won’t work, it’d still be worth trying.

            GSI stands for Generic System Image. Theyre device agnostic and design to work on any phone with an unlocked bootloader made after 2016

            They are on evolution X’s site I think. They are not device specific which is why they are called GSIs (generic system image)
