Old tech doesn't have to be dead tech.
Flashing a custom OS or modding a legacy device proves that hardware easily outlasts official support. A locked bootloader is nothing more than an artificial expiration date.

You wouldn't buy a laptop if you weren't allowed to install your own choice of browser or OS.
Mobile devices are pocket computers. It's time they were treated with the same basic user rights. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech
Custom ROM devs are out here keeping 7-year-old devices running the latest Android version smoothly.
Meanwhile, OEMs act like a 3-year-old chip can't handle basic security updates. Unlock the bootloaders and let the dev community work its magic.

Technological freedom should be a right, not a privilege. Unlock our tech. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

If this OS came stock, you wouldn't be able to unlock the bootloader.
This should be a right. #righttorepair #UnlockOurTech

Just bought a Note FE and it came with a bootloader pre-unlocked. Shows it's not just me tinkering with devices.
Bootloader unlocking should be a right. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech @SamsungMobile

Wow. That's the tweet. Just wow.
BRO WHAT?! 😭🔥 A 2016 Google Pixel running iOS 16?! 💀
Full Snapdragon 821 CPU support, all 4 cores running at full speed, and it boots in just 30 seconds. WHAT ARE WE WITNESSING IN 2026?! 🤯

This is what people need to do when they can't unlock the bootloader: circumvent with exploits. @SamsungMobile, can't you just save us the trouble? #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

Hey @AndroidAuth, I'm working on a Right To Repair campaign focused on bootloader unlocking freedom and OEM longevity. Would love to talk in DMs if your team is interested in covering it! 👀

Right to Repair isn't just about replacing cracked screens or changing batteries. True repair means keeping the software alive when the original manufacturer walks away.
Unlock your bootloaders. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

Been watching this series and it's absolutely crazy what people can do with their hardware given the unlocked bootloader. Props to you, @J0Sh1X. Things like this wouldn't be possible without unlocking the bootloader. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

Software support ends when the manufacturer decides. Device lifespan should be up to YOU.
Unlocking your bootloader isn't an enthusiast luxury—it's basic ownership. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

Anyways, if you buy a car, you can change the engine, fix the transmission, or take it to any mechanic you want.
Why should your phone be any different? Open bootloaders are the Right to Repair for software. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

A Congressional response, a parody account, and a growing tech community in less than 2 weeks.
The movement for bootloader freedom is moving fast. If you want tech that actually lasts, you're in the right place. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

My friend chromifyx_ is working on Project DeGooglizeTheBook, an effort to get Coreboot working on Googlebooks. None of this would be possible without an unlocked bootloader, and I'm delighted to see community efforts like this. Discuss in comments! #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

This is why bootloader unlocking needs to be a right. The community can harden better than corporations with unlimited resources like @GooglePixel_US . @GrapheneOS thank you for the good work ❤️

📱 À SAVOIR... Beaucoup d’exploits qui passent sur un Pixel stock se cassent les dents sur GrapheneOS. Ou alors il leur faut un bug de plus
> L’allocateur est durci.
> Le memory tagging est allumé bien plus large.
> L’USB se coupe quand le téléphone est verrouillé.
> Et les patchs noyau sortent souvent avant le bulletin Android.
Amnesty a documentée en 2024 trois failles que Cellebrite utilisait sur des Android verrouillés...
Sur GrapheneOS elles étaient déjà bloquées de plusieurs côtés, et patchées plus tôt
Une matrice interne Cellebrite qui a fuité mettait les Pixel 9 sous GrapheneOS, verrouillés, en inaccessible !
Pwn2Own vient de démonter le Pixel 10 stock 3 fois... Ça ne dit pas que ces chaînes-là seraient tombées, ça rappelle juste pourquoi l’écart existe
Ça ne rend pas le téléphone intouchable... Ça fait juste payer chaque bug mémoire en plus
Derrière c’est le même boulot depuis des années :
> Pas de télémétrie Google par défaut.
> Play Services dans un bac à sable si tu les veux.
> Permissions réseau et capteurs par app.
La vie privée n’est pas un réglage caché dans un menu... C’est le système tel que @GrapheneOS le livre
Le Motorola Signature 27 n’est pas sorti du chapeau non plus
Les Motorola 2026 étaient proches, et sont restés dehors
Pour être retenu il faut cocher les cases :
Memory tagging matériel.
Secure element correct.
Verified boot.
7 ans de mises à jour.
Noyau supporté longtemps.
Ce SoC les coche. Les précédents, non
Bref... La dépendance à Google diminue fortement avec cette collaboration GOS/Motorola mobility. Une bonne chose pour le respect de la Privacy 🤞

Still no info on whether you can unlock the bootloader on the Amazon Alexa tablets. Does anyone have any info? @amazon #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

A shattered screen is a hardware repair. A locked bootloader is artificial e-waste.
When OEMs kill software support, open bootloaders keep functioning devices out of the landfill. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

"Unlocking your bootloader makes your phone unsafe."
Reality: Abandoning a device on 3-year-old security patches makes it unsafe. Custom ROMs deliver modern patches to legacy hardware. #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech

Now, anyways...
What's the main reason you unlock your bootloader?
Some examples could be:
Privacy (De-Googling)
Security patches for old hardware
Removing bloatware
Drop your current setup in the replies! #RightToRepair #UnlockOurTech
