How To DE-GOOGLE Your Phone! (2025)

Not all carriers forbid and disable OEM unlocking. Especially outside US it’s not common.
The phone has a fingerprint such as IMEI, but if the scope here is to de-google your device, so it’s about the software side of it, in which GrapheneOS definitely does a great job.

How does the saying go again?

The best time to flash Graphene OS in your Pixel Phone was when you first received it. The second best time is now.

That’s why an RSS reader like Feeder is the best. It’s reliable and you don’t have to worry about clicking on the wrong source. Plus it doubles as a news feed for articles.

How to de-google a pixel? Can authorities go to google and force them to unlock or disclose my phone contents?

it doesnt get any easier than the Web installer. See their requirements.

Also a simple due diligence search should be done as a courtesy to others. Coming back here complaining that you could not move forward due to _____ reasons would be a better post, in retrospect.

Yeah I didn’t know what to say to this person when literally this entire thread is about that.

I assumed they could read but I was still confused.

I believe there is also a way to degoogle a pixel (or any phone) without having to use graphene… Degoogling is not only at a OS level but foremost at apps level.
That’s why i asked.
Btw I’ll watch the videos thanks.

Thank you so much. Gained some insights
