  You can lock the bootloader again after the flashing process is done(because it will add the signing key of the new OS), but unfortunately the NFC Payments in Google Pay still won’t work because Google only allows it on ‘certified’ Android systems (aka only the preinstalled OS)

    Isn’t this dependent on the ROM, like lineage shouldn’t be locked where as calyx is locked likewise for graphine os

      Yes, afaik LineageOS shouldn’t be locked, but I was talking about GrapheneOS specifically because @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org was talking about that.

  You can in theory still use Google Pay with a Magisk module called Play Integrity Fix and using a fingerprint from a different phone to pass Basic and Device integrity. I’m currently doing it on my Pixel 7 Pro.

  But it has a steep learning curve and is a temporary solution that will disappear in roughly a year once Google sunsets legacy integrity methods and starts requiring Strong integrity, which can’t be faked under known methods. Google is also actively disabling fingerprints that are being spoofed, making the whole thing frustrating and even more temporary even when it works.

  Just let us use our devices, sheesh.
