Check if your phone is OEM Unlocked
Quick guide on checking for OEM unlock
As ethOS is a mobile software that requires some steps to upload on your own, you may run into some issues with buying phones which are not OEM unlocked.
Here's how to check:
- Bootup your phone
- Navigate to your settings > System > Developer Options
- If Developer options is not enabled, go to "About Phone" find the "Build Number" and tap on it 5+ times.
- OEM Unlock is an option in Developer options to slide
If Greyed out:
- Enable OEM unlock
- Navigate to settings > About phone
- at the bottom is the “build number” - tap 5 times to enable developer options
- This should already be enabled if phone is OEM unlocked
- Connect to the Internet (this has helped some phones re-enable OEM unlock)
- Check for Verizon version
- Press & hold the volume button, then press & hold the power button
