How to unlock the bootloader

What is working?

• Fingerprint sensor (GM 8 Go only)
• Calling (VOLTE is not tested)
• Notification light
• Cameras
• Touch
• Vibration
• WiFi and bluetooth
• Speakers

Bugs

• Bootlooping sometimes on GSI's
• UI glitches
• Pasccodes cause a bootloop

Notes:

GM 9 GO is identical to this device, with a lack of a fingerprint sensor (loongruige - GM 9 Go)

GSI's are very buggy on this phone and not stable. (Tohru - GM 8 Go)

Android 11 aosp gsi's did not work for me. (Tohru - GM 8 Go)

Newer Android 10 builds sometimes work but will bootloop at some times (Tohru - GM 8 Go)
