<h2><a href="#bootloader-locking-setup">Why am I seeing a message about my bootloader not being locked when setting up the device?</a></h2>

<p>If you are seeing this warning when setting up your device after GrapheneOS
has been installed, it means that not all of the installation steps have been
completed. This can be remediated by finishing the installation process and
locking the device's bootloader.</p>

<p>To do this, follow these steps:</p>

<ol>
<li>Navigate to the bootloader locking section of the <a href="https://grapheneos.org/install/web">web install
(recommended)</a> or <a href="https://grapheneos.org/install/cli">CLI install</a>
guide on the device you'll be using to lock the bootloader.</li>
<li>If you are at the welcome screen on your GrapheneOS device, tap "Next".</li>
<li>On the resulting screen, tap "Reboot to bootloader".</li>
<li>Connect your GrapheneOS device to the device where you have the install page open.</li>
<li>Follow the steps on the install page to lock the bootloader.</li>
<li>Once locked, you can start setting up your GrapheneOS device, and the warning should no longer be present.</li>
</ol>

<p>It is important to note that this is something that should be done before
placing any data onto the device, as until this step is completed, the device is
considered to be insecure. Please note that locking the bootloader wipes all
user data on the device. GrapheneOS doesn't provide any support to users running
GrapheneOS with an unlocked bootloader, as this is considered to be an
incomplete installation.</p>
