This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why not just get a google-less ROM at that point?

Lack of availability

Some modern Samsung phones can't have their bootloaders unlocked.

Edit: I guess maybe they can, although the instructions for this seem kind of sketchy.

Did you read the greentext? Literally says they're unlocking the bootloader to root the phone.

Oh, whoops, not all the way, no. Yeah, in that case, that's dumb as hell.

~~Likely because of apps that depend on GMS~~ They removed the services too. Yeah that seems pointless.

Also, microG for that scenario.
