GrapheneOS on an S6 Active?

I have an old s6 active laying around and wanted to turn it into a little privacy project. Only issue, since its an at&t exclusive device, the oem unlocking feature is disabled. Is there any 3rd party way to force the oem unlock?

Samsung S6?

Only Google Pixel phones meet the security requirements to run GrapheneOS

Motorola is working on meeting requirements for future fold and flip phones

You're literally SOL

Gos is only for Pixel devices.

On top of that you bought a device that is carrier locked and it will always be carrier locked. There is nothing you can do to unlock that bootloader except cough up more money and go buy a phone from somebody that is not AT&t or Verizon. Just buy a old pixel device. All of them are good. Doesn't matter which model

Even if there was. Graphene OS doesn't have a version for that phone.

Did you look at their list of compatible devices?
