Boot modes

Each device has its own method to access special boot modes.
See: blueline (@LineageOS wiki)

Firmware

AXP.OS for the Google Pixel 3 includes the appropriate bootloader and modem firmware for the corresponding Android version provided.

Important

Unfortunately, some manufacturers enable so-called “Anti-Rollback Protection” (ARB), which in the worst-case scenario can even take effect within the bootloader (notable examples include various LG models, as well as Samsung and even some Google Pixel devices).

In these cases, special caution must be exercised, as this can often result in a hard brick, which may be unreparable depending on the manufacturer and model. This is not a problem with AXP.OS itself, but affects all custom OSes for such devices.

If you are unsure, please check with the support room before flashing AXP.OS.
