You know they have a wiki of all compatible devices right? You have a lot of options. Due to the bootloader relocking exclusivity, used Pixel seems like the way to go sadly
yeah the only way to get my phone to work is doing DSU sideload which is dumb because when my phone reboots or dies i have to setup the OS again and download and sign in again to my apps. i tried installing a ROM yesterday i was able to do it, but sadly SMS doesnt work (was onlt getting 4G), 5G doesnt work, and APK’s wont install
You’re braver than I am, once I got a single letter wrong on the wiki ordered the model and ended up with a $70 useless slut phone that gave me an excuse to keep using play services apps 👹 at least it compartmentalized things
Everyone else w the model had to buy keys from a shady Samsung employee w Monero and there was still.the chance of bricking everything. I just caved and got the pixel :/
yeah my phone is the moto G stylus 5G 2024 (Codename boston) and its funny becuase my previous phone - moto G5 2024 broke (i dropped it) and THAT phone which is not as powerful as the stylus has an OFFICAL linage OS rom and install guide. i should of just gotten the same phone
Well, we both should have gotten in on it during the era when everything was flourishing and iOS had jailbreaks right? Live and learn. I used to buy into the purist mindset, like “better just to never scroll, desktop is better”. I missed out
This kind of consolidation will be good long-term, though, and maybe there will be foreign options. Programming is too western still to wriggle out of device monopolies

I did the same thing with my last phone, and this whole sub-model thing drives me crazy.
Happens naturally as you try and look for dealz as nobody wants ancient unrootable ones lol
