Broken kernel sources, broken warranty services, broken bootloader unlock, outdated software, and network incompatibilities, all on the 6a. Yikes.

Can someone who works on Android or at least works on Google help me get in contact with the right people? There are a few issues with the Pixel 6a release which need to be resolved. There are a few mistakes with the push to AOSP and also services that aren't set up properly.

We emailed them and they pushed the missing kernel module sources later that day. We found a workaround for OEM unlocking where you can sideload the June release currently only being pushed out to Japanese carriers and Verizon followed by a factory reset.

twitter.com/GrapheneOS/sta Our initial release is available already but it would have been published on July 28th if they'd pushed all the kernel sources immediately and didn't have the OEM unlocking issue. It's also much harder for people to install GrapheneOS until they fix this.

GrapheneOS is now available for the Pixel 6a via experimental releases with full support for the hardware. Forum discussion thread with further information: discuss.grapheneos.org/d/326-graphene

If you look at grapheneos.org/install/web, the workaround for the Pixel 6a significantly complicates the installation process. Users without a Japanese or Verizon SIM need to download an over-the-air update package manually and use adb to sideload, ruining the easy web install.
