I purchased outright this Moto E 4G LTE from Staples.
It's not locked to any single carrier and I more than likely will use it as a pocket computer, rather than a talk and text phone.
The details from within the phone are as follows:
Model Number - Moto E (2nd Generation) with 4G LTE
Hardware SKU - XT1527
Android Version - 5.0.2
Baseband version - M8916_200608.08.02.58.15R SURNIA_RETCA_CUST
Kernel version - 3.10.49-gb86829a [email protected] #1 Tue Aug 4 14:44:21 CDT 2015
System version - 22.46.8.surnia_retca.retca.en.CA retca
Build number - LXI22.50-53.8
This is my first plunge into the world of unlocking, rooting, and flashing Android OS.
So far I've been able to gather that cybojenix and squid2 have highly regarded threads and downloads related to the Moto E 4G LTE but the high volume of custom roms, TWRP files, modem files, gapps, patches to fix issues with the camera and patches to eliminate a warning message that warns of a rooted bootloader, etc have left me somewhat overwhelmed lost. I am in need of a short list of what I absolutely need to do what I want to do, and some hints of what extras would work best with my phone in terms of custom roms or whatever relevant.
I'd like to root my phone so that I can run a specific app not related to xdadevelopers. My needs are mostly related to security and anonymity because in my professional life I conduct social research with vulnerable populations and the ethics of my profession dictate a strict code of conduct in this vein.
[As an aside --The app I use unobtrusively requests root access and I fully trust the app since I am very familiar with its history and development to date. The app is found found at f-droid if anyone is interested in checking out f-droid's offerings.]
My questions are these:
What version of twrp-surnia-3.0.0-r*.img will my Moto E work with?
Motorola says my Android Version 5.0.2 is fully up to date when I try to use the in-phone System Updates feature from the About Phone tab in Settings. However I've read in XDAdevelopers that this version of Android can run into problems when using a later version of TWRP.
Can I install a flavour of CM13 straight from Android Version 5.0.2 or do I need to somehow install an Android Version of 5.1 as a first step?
What flavour of CM (Custom ROM) works best with this phone?
I recognize this thread is a bit long winded but I hope to have provided all the necessary details required to seek help from the many expert coders, programmers, and operators dedicated to xda-developers.
Thank you for taking time to read this, and many more thanks if you happen to contribute to any of the solutions that might follow.
Have a wonderful evening.

The basic steps you need to follow are:
Unlock your bootloader
Flash the XT1527 RETUS 5.1 modem (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/help/moto-e-2015-modems-t3296044)
Flash the latest TWRP (my 3.0.1-r1 build as of this moment, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/development/twrp-squid-twrp-recovery-moto-e-lte-t3137649)
From TWRP, go into advanced wipe and erase system, data, cache, and dalvik
Flash CM13 + gapps together in TWRP
Apart from the modem, you don't have to upgrade anything else.
I choose to avoid Cm after reading up on it.
I prefer to use the Stock ROM etc
BUT!
I Root it with SuperSU then make my own Bootlogo + Animation
Then i use Squid's Kernel + Squid's TWRP and No-frills CPU Control (to use some of the options Squid's kernel has)
I believe my setup is cleaner and has more stable support and easier to do learn etc.
I checked on what features CM offers and none of it sound like anything i wanted.
I also don't want to have to fiddle around with Gapps or whatever.
I also seen some drawbacks before with some features on the stock Rom that do not work on CM.
I think most people use it simply because it's popular.
Evaluate your options and choose what is right for you.
First thing you want to do is check if you can unlock your bootloader.
Since your from Canada i bet you can.. i did on mine.
Squid's stuff plus Stock Android is good.. in my opinion better than CM.

Thank you for responding to my questions, squid2. I am very much honored to have had you taken the time to write on my behalf, this is certainly something to which I feel very privledged.
For the sake of clarity and accuracy I will quickly repeat the steps I just took after reading your answer to this thread. If you do not write into this thread a second time I will assume the steps I just took are indeed the correct ones.
1. I went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...odems-t3296044 as you directed and downloaded only the one folder titled Modem, ignoring the larger file that includes another three folders in addition to the Modem folder (the larger file containing all the four files is 25.79GB, whereas the single Modem folder is just 561MB).
2. I then unzipped the Modem folder and selected the SURNIA-RETUS_5.1.zip, ignoring the SURNIA-RETUS_5.1_new.zip which is also in the Modem folder. (The newer SURNIA-RETUS_5.1_new.zip file is two days newer than the other SURNIA-RETUS_5.1.zip file, but since they are both in the same Modem folder I am taking that to mean I should follow your original instructions precisely as directed. Both files are about the same size, except that the newer file is slightly smaller than the other.)
Again, thank you. Your instructions were vital in enabling me to move forward on this task. We need a bitcoin tip jar for people who take time to help others.

Thank you, xpmule. I had been wondering whether it was a good idea to install CM or to use a stock Rom. From what I've been reading the Moto E version of Android is fairly bloat-free and since I really only need a rooted phone there is no real need for CM.
I've learned more than once that messing around with unfamiliar OS can be a recipe for disaster after foolishly timing updates of a Linux or BSD OS when I have papers due or exams to study for.
I'll take some more time to research the other options you recommended and then follow your lead with respect to this phone.
Again I'd like to thank both squid2 and yourself for helping me on this, and may I suggest that people who provide meaningful assistance such as this put a bitcoin wallet addres in their signature so that people like me can show our gratitude .
I Support Bitcoin and i think i said that to Squid before too LOL
But i have before refused some for helping people more than once.
My help is not as much as Squid's though.. he puts in effort for his public projects LOL
I don't think you will see him giving advice too much either.. at least i haven't.
So Squid.. GET a Bitcoin address man
OP good luck.. i think Moto's Android is fairly bloat free.. The stuff Moto put on there is good.
Like the twist the phone to activate the camera app or the app that tweaks the notifications.
I am happy myself just modding the stock firmware.
Thank you squid2, I followed your directions exactly as prescribed and I am now rocking the lastest nightly build of CM on my Moto E. It was fairly easy and I can confirm that everything works just fine.
And thank you as well, xpmule. I was going to follow your instructions too but when I got to a certain point in my process and my phone asked if I was sure I wanted to reboot even though there was no OS installed, well I had one of those moments.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
Now it's time to explore this CM OS and see what all the fanfare is really about. )

I’ll start by admiting that, in the arts of cooking/building/porting android innards, I’m closer to being a complete noob than na intermediate user.
I own a Newman K1S, JB 4.2.2, MT6592, 2Gb/16Gb, 720p, and, sadly for me, it looks like the manufacturer (Newman Mobile, or Newsmy, who knows) pretty much disavows any knowledge of this model ever being built or sold. No reference to it, no community, no android updates or ROM releases.
Taking into account some MediaTek source codes for KitKat were made available earlier this year (even if unofficially), I was wondering:
So, question number 1 – Is it possible to build android 4.4 for my device straight from said sources? Or are they unreliable and it would be best not to attempt it?
And question number 2 – Being at the noob level, should I stay away from such a task? And, in this case, would I be better off porting a 4.4 ROM from a similar spec’ed device?
Also, while browsing needrom, I noticed that a 4.4 “official” ROM was posted for my device. However, having flashed it, I found that it produces no sounds from the external speaker (although with headphones it works fine). Same thing was experienced by other users, and there is no fix so far.
Which takes me to question number 3 – What may I try, in order to fix an issue like this? Does KK use the same sound drivers as JB, and maybe it’s only a matter of replacing them? (if so, I believe this is within my grasp, even if I must unpack the IMG files to reach the drivers)
Lastly, Newman K1S has a severe overheating problem when pushed, which I believe would be easily solved by underclocking it to 1.3 or 1.5, or maybe implementing an optimized kernel.
Final question – How do I manage to underclock with my current kernel, or, better yet, how do I port a custom, optimized kernel to my device?
Congratulations to everyone who managed to read this far, and thank you in advance for any help provided. I’ve spent the last few days reading tutorials and guides, only to become even more confused… I did manage to get android kitchen running on my Windows laptop, though!
Links to recent/updated guides that might be useful are appreciated, too.
Redmi note 3 ROM Uploaders please read!
I have been flashing stock roms for a few years now and I have noticed with this device that many of the uploaders are not providing all the details just some of the following:
Detailed description
Is bootloader to be unlocked first
Is a custom recovery needed
Full instructions on how to install
Screenshots
bug list
Which Gapps package to use
Please provide all (the above) the neccessary information so we can make the decision is this ROM good for us to flash on our phones.
There needs to be a template for ROM postings so it can be easy for the end users. (Forum moderators will know the formula so I ask ye guys to sticky a template)
Thank you (ordered mine 3 days ago come on gearbest I wants my precioussss)

First thing, its not stock rom, its custom rom.
Second, the developers are not being paid, and thus whatever thay are doing, just accept it and ask for help, not post post like this to command them to list things that are obviously common sense.
1. CM13 Nightly, this 2 words give enough description, what more do you need. In this time, if you don't know what cm13 is then don't buy an android. Nightly means that there are still bugs, both minor and major, and sometimes it means that there are some things broken too. The devs also list whats working or whats not. They can't list every single thing.
2. You are flashing custom rom, thus you must have custom recovery like twrp, in order to install it you must first unlock your bootloader. If you have custom recovery, then it doesn't matter whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
3. Did you really just asked if custom recovery is needed, are you a fool or what. Let me make this clear, if you want to flash a rom, how are you supports to so without a custom recovery. Stock recovery can't flash rom, neither it can make backup, restore backup and lots of things. The most basic thing to do even before rooting is to flash a custom recovery. Without custom recovery you can't even properly root. Well you can root with some apps, but custom recovery makes it easier, just download supersu and flash it with recovery.
4. Whats there to know. If you have custom recovery, then first create a backup. Almost every thread that i have ever read on xda, it is stated every where to always make a backup before doing anything, even rooting. Then, wipe data cache dalvik system, and then flash the zip file. After that if you wish flash the gapps.
5. What do you need screenshot for. Haven't you ever saw CM13 or ressurection remix. Just google it. they are not obliged to post it here for your convenience.
6. They do provide bugs, whats working or what not. And its not like they know a bug and haven't told other about it. They, in most cases don't know how many bugs there are, the other users tell them the bugs and they fix it.
7. Why would they tell you which gapps package to use. Do they work for google. Anyway, just google gapps, your rom version, ie cm12 or cm13, you mob architecture, arm64 or arm32 or whatever, and just download it. There is no geek stuff behind it that you can't do it yourself.
And finally, you are not paying them do anything, they are doing this because they like doing this. They are not even getting paid by this. So you ordering them to these things which you can do yourself after some googling and using your brain a bit, is just unjust. Just accept what they are doing, thank them, enjoy the rom, and report the bugs, etc etc, and have fun.

1. I know what CM is this is about description not quick copy and pastes from another website.
2. Some modified roms can be ran from the stock recovery.
3. You are a fool this is information for the end user I will slap you with a fresh wet fish!
4. Information is key.
5. Screenshots show people what they are flashing very helpful to the end user
6. They don't always bub!
7. Again inofrmation helps to clarify lot's of things.
Not all the guys that post are the actual devs THAT DO IT RIGHT, some are just bad copy paste jobs coz they wanna be cool n **** and don't Fu(&ing tell me not use andorid you little pretend dev snot! :victory:

If you are using a 32bit windows, then do you ask others which application to install, 32bit or 64bit. Man you are a joke, it's not information, its common sense. information is which partition is used for what purpose. How to restore imei. How to unlock lte band, not which gapps to flash. And there is no stock recovery out ther which flash custom roms. The only roms you can flash with stock recovery are ota.

So if you are not a noob then why are u asking for such things that are common sense. Nobody ask these things now. I just passed class 12 and i know most of the procedure for tweaking an android. I can even write partition table. You just have to search. Not post like this and expect the dev to post them too. Do a little bit more work to achieve something.

Coming from a Huawei g510 where i got my roms on Modaco, and The zenfone 2 here at xda the posts were well put togther with all the info needed , I have found quiet a few here with very little and it's kinda lazy on the posters part.
That is all. I ain't a programmer (although i touched on some c++) but I ain't a noob just like details and not everyone is well informed and there a newbies to flashing roms it's to help them too not brick a device.

From what I see it's mostly non devs just copy paste guys who are doing it.
Does it hurt to have a small guide or at least the fundemntals of requrements for the installation of each rom?
Waiting on my redmi still order prcessing, hurry gearbest hurry I am back on my g510 as my asus went for a swim in my tiolet!

Nice idea, looks like there's no room for a newbie on XDA anumore (in remembrance of XDA 2012).
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA Labs
This is unofficial lineageos 16 for Motorola Clark. It is only compatible with nougat firmware - you must have the nougat bootloader and modem flashed on your device.
Tons of thanks to hashbang for all of his work
Kernel Source-
https://github.com/randomblame/android_kernel_motorola_msm8992
Device tree-
https://github.com/randomblame/android_device_motorola_clark
Current status of rom-
Daily Driver
Broken-
Camera post processing- rotation is not accounted for in hal with latest round of hacks credit to AgathosAnthropos for fixing image capture by disabling the calls to pp, hold device in landscape for photos
Tethering - it works but device will soft reboot when tethering stops
Dual sim variants are NOT supported! I do not have the hardware to test and fix at this time - bugreports appreciated
Working - everything else?
Try it yourself (Requires Nougat Firmware and as always wipe data+cache)
Latest Releases:
1/12/2020 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261700035
8/1/2019 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117928331
Don't forget to grab a compatible version of gapps for 9.0
https://opengapps.org
Once again this rom REQUIRES that the stock nougat firmware was properly flashed to work correctly... It will check before installation that you have the correct modem version installed.
*If your radio does not work you may have the wrong modem
*If you can not switch lockscreen to pin or pattern you may have the wrong modem.
*Modem flashes fail quietly sometimes please make sure you have properly flashed it before reporting issues.
Great! [emoji6]

I'll be happy to test once there is a working rom
I've been updating op, it seems to just be getting shorter as I fix things. The rom now compiles with default manifest only needs device tree and kernel source now. something is failing quietly and preventing boot. I'm just working the problem slowly getting it sorted out.
Can't wait to see more from this
We wait impatiently.
Spent a couple more hours going through init narrowing it down failure happens just before zygote startsI currently have my pure propped up in charging position so I can work more on it it's had a hard life
Thank You so much

I have been searching and search for lineage OS roms for my XT1575 but the bootloader is Ax052 which is not supported by 14.1 Lineage. I Hope you find a fix for this.

Hi, I have the Lineague 14.2 installed. What I did to eliminate the bootloader check was to edit the uptader-script
Fixing error caused by missing taskstats kernel feature
Hi randomblame,
A quick review please, could you tell us the intended purpose of your project.
Meaning like I'm thinking it's for a "Moto X Pure 2015 (clark)" device isn't it?
Would that be for everyone on this XT1575 device which has upgraded to a stock Nougat kernel and modem?
Or could/would others benefit from it as well with your research here - other moto's?
Any and all answers - thoughts are welcome in understanding the project...
Thanks for the lady power on XDA,
RIF
This device can have a new future. Think about it !
I will look into bootloader incompatibility once I get it running seems like it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm also toying with the idea of a new kernel 3.18 seems like low hanging fruit considering Motorola was kind enough to give us good searchable git history on GitHub of both kernels and the 3.18 source for the Moto z seems to have most of the msm8992 support still. My next step is going to be a new device tree starting as bare bones as possible and populating it properly to figure out this issue. I'll throw up a PayPal link again later a less broken device would be helpful USB port is bad and this is probably the fourth screen I've installed on it but touch only works when it feels like it lol

I'm trying to follow along with your posts best as is possible for me - but, so sorry I and as well many others are lame to understand the under-the-hood workings of Android.
Are you saying in such a way that the Moto Pure XT1575, will maybe and with your research efforts move forward to a true PIE OS possibly?
Maybe I'm reading to much into your words.
But, as I follow your posts, you'll advance us Pure device owners beyond the Nougat kernel - or at least try too?
Or yet with your efforts will this yield something like HashBang did for the XT1575 device when a Nougat OS wasn't even a thought of possibility from Motorola for us.
Back then, HashBang had worked the Nougat OS on the Marshmallow kernel and modem - I'm very green to all of this - but that's what I understood.
Still that's good none the less if that will come here from you with PIE on Nougat internals...
Beings Motorola support is dead for our device for anything future of an OS update - not to mention security patches.
If you would spell it out better as any interested XT1575 owners now could grasp the concept here in your efforts - create a buzz for a greater community following. More MXP owners to jump on board as gained support from well wishers.
Is it to early yet for that? Is there a fear that someone could steal it out from under you? Unexpected negativity, or is it just the way you wish to present this to us for the present.
I'm still going to watch and support this project with high hopes no matter what may come in the end...
Could you benefit knowledge from a LineageOS 16 for Moto Z. download?

As for any active developers still left for the XT1575 a big thank you to you all, seems to me like a daunting task to crawl inside of android moreless understand things once your there...
Kernels are only loosly linked to Android versions, Google maintains the Android-common kernel repos which are usually quite far behind mainline Linux, and caf who maintains Qualcomm specific kernels are further behind in general. Literallyany feature required by Android can be backported to an old kernel I'm sure 2.6.27 could run pie but it would need so many patches it would be an unrecognizable mess. It will become progressively more of a nuisance as time goes on to keep patching up 3.10 Pie "requires" 4.4 for new devices but only needs kernel features from 3.18 which I've backported to 3.10. with each new version of Android more assumptions are made about how modern the devices kernel is and what features it has so moving to a newer kernel would be nice and like I said 3.18 seems doable but it will still be quite a bit of work.
Thank you @randomblame I was able to grasp most of that...
Maybe it's too early but, how does Googles Android security patches figure into this - if they are possible to bring us forth from Oct 2017?
Remembering I'm a laymen to the nuts and bolts of android.
I understand your post #16 - Super !
Security patch version is irrelevant when you are building from the latest source
Obnoxiously after a few builds the dedicated 250gb SSD is full and I have to make clean which takes ages, I nooped every thing but the basics didn't include telephony or wifi, ril, audio, Bluetooth GPS nfc etc and left it to build overnight will test after work trying to narrow down the problem
Surface flinger is the culprit
I have the device laying around and getting no use. Will sure donate some $$$. Seeing a los16 with all working hardware would be great.
Only got a couple hours to work on it this weekend, there is an issue where /system/vendor is not symlinked to /vendor early enough and calls for things in /vendor fail thus the issue, since we don't have a physical /vendor partition it can not be mounted immediately via the kernel. Tis annoying. I can change the calls to /system/vendor or maybe make it symlinked earlier when I get a chance
Hello friends! I have been reading a few different forums and sources regarding roms, but I had a few question to which I cannot find any answers to. I hope you all may be able to help provide me with some information.
I have read numerous forums with people who want to flash newer versions of android on their devices, or even revert back to their stock rom, but what about a custom rom that is a lower android version than what the tablet stock was ? Is that even possible, provided you compile it with android's open source code?
I have 4 lenovo tab 10 tablets - they are all painfully slow, and always have been. It doesn't matter if you clear the cache, disable programs, factory data wipe and reset, etc.
I understand that the reason the tablets are so slow is the hardware that it comes with - especially the 1GB of ram limitation.
For this reason, I wish to be able to flash kitkat on the devices to improve performance. I don't mind if many playstore apps wont run on the device, I just wish to be able to use it to surf the web and read a few e-mails. And believe me or not, the tablets in their current state can barely do that!
Anyhow, if I was to get the source code for kitkat, would I need to somehow port over the drivers from the stock firmware, or would this not be possible because the stock firmware is lollipop? I am having difficulty understanding if the kernels are related to the operating system version or if they can be used with different operating systems. The same is true for the "drivers", which I believe I had read are binaries?
Any help you guys could provide I would appreciate greatly! I don't care about building or getting a custom rom that has all sorts of programs and icon packs, I just want a bare bones kitkat install with chrome and google play capability to download a few minimal apps.
Thank you all for your time and help, and I hope to hear back soon!
Magisk Patched Unofficial GrapheneOS for the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro (oriole/raven)
This ROM will allow you to lock the boot loader. Do not ever disable the OEM unlocking checkbox when using a locked bootloader with root.
This is critically important. With root access, it is possible to corrupt the running system, for example by zeroing out the boot partition.
In this scenario, if the checkbox is turned off, both the OS and recovery mode will be made unbootable and fastboot flashing unlock will not be allowed.
This effectively renders the device hard bricked.
I am not responsible for any harm you may do to your device, follow at your own risk etc etc, Rooting your device can potentially introduce security flaws, I am not claiming this to be secure. If you would like to have more security and peace of mind then I highly recommend you follow This Guide to build this rom using your own encryption keys.
GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility developed as a non-profit open source project. It's focused on the research and development of privacy and security technology including substantial improvements to sandboxing, exploit mitigations and the permission model. It was founded in 2014 and was formerly known as CopperheadOS.
The features page provides an overview of the substantial privacy and security improvements added by GrapheneOS to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Many of the past features were contributed to AOSP, Linux and other projects to improve privacy and security for billions of users so they're no longer listed on the features page.
More info:
Official releases are available on the releases page (Not Magisk Patched) and installation instructions are on the install page.
GrapheneOS also develops various apps and services with a focus on privacy and security. Vanadium is a hardened variant of the Chromium browser and WebView specifically built for GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS also includes our minimal security-focused PDF Viewer, our hardware-based Auditor app / attestation service providing local and remote verification of devices, our modern privacy / security focused camera app, and the externally developed Seedvault encrypted backup which was initially developed for inclusion in GrapheneOS.
No Google apps or servicesGrapheneOS will never include either Google Play services or another implementation of Google services like microG. It's possible to install Play services as a set of fully sandboxed apps without special privileges via our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer. See the FAQ section for more details on our plans for filling in the gaps from not shipping Play services and Google apps.
Installation Instructions: Fashing-factory-image
Locking the bootloader is Optional but does increase the device security Locking-the-bootloader
Update Instructions: simply follow these instructions Updates-sideloading to sideload the latest patched OTA update package (You can update from any previous version if using full ota update)

Builds for Pixel 6 Pro (Raven)
Always do a backup of your data before flashing any updates, just in case.
I make no promises that this works or that I will provide regular updates. I will attempt to provide updates when they are available and I have time, you may have issues with this rom, you could lose your data or brick your device (although it's very unlikely if you follow the instructions and use common sense)
#reserved
Thanks for this!

does the full system install include the android 13 boot loader? if someone was still on A12 should they do a full oem update first?

I think you should upgrade to stock android 13 first just to be safe
brilliant thanks!! can i ask a reallly random stupid question please. if i have a stock pixel 6 rom, can i just run the ota update to keep present apps/data in place and to upgrade it to graphene or would that break my phone if not already running graphene?

You must install Graphene OS first, and if you want to lock the bootloader then you will need to erase your data anyway
People from GrapheneOS will permanently suspend your account on their forums for simply telling people that it is in fact possible to ROOT Graphene and Lock the Bootloder
They like to LIE to people and tell them it's impossible, while preventing anyone from contradicting them
I flashed the oriole image flawlessy, everythings seems to be fine except for the magisk manager that keeps crashing. I need to do something in order to make it works?
Edit: my bad, i was installing a super old version of magisk Sorry.
Thank you so much for you hard work
i cant find any information if its possbile to use google pay and android auto again with a rooted grapheneos and working magisk modul.
i like graphene and the features but it sucks to use an iphone for my car and cant use my galaxy watch for paying something :/
any1 got an idea or is the only possibility to flash stock google for both apps

You cannot use google pay with official Graphene, I mean it works with loyalty cards but not NFC payment cards
So you should not expect it to work with a magisk patched Graphene, maybe you can find some magisk module and a configuration to get safety net passing and google pay working. But I am not aware of anything that works with Graphene
Why so much headache as go trough build for such simple task as resign especially for Graphene? Just get ota, follow instruction in readme.txt avbroot and that it.
I understand if you do any changes to source (patches, unneeded apps, own apps, implement of root). But just for locked bootloader? Bootloader locked or not doing it job.
If you loose and somebody stole your device how locked bootloader helps? Get your data from recovery (it stock, not custom) over adb shell if you use pass not possible. Find device or location not on graphene build. You can't pass Safetycheck or use phone for contactless payments (NFC)
So all that wind just not allow to thief reflash and use device?

If you think it's too much headache, that's fine, it's not for you.
I prefer to build it from source myself using my own keys for the whole process, it may be possible as you say just to patch the provided ota with avbroot, but I haven't tested this and don't have any plans to
I don't want to argue about the potential security benefits or downsides, If you don't believe it's secure and you don't feel safe using it then just don't use it. I like my data being secure and not easily accessible, regular backups are important
You can't pass safetynet or use google pay for contactless payments on official graphene, so please take it up with them to fix that as rooting it isn't going to make you more likely to pass safetynet
The thief can always just reflash and use the device unless you disable OEM unlocking in the developer settings
But you should not do this, because if something happened and your phone started to boot loop or something then there would be no way to fix it and you will brick your device, but at least your data will be safe if you had the bootloader locked

I'm not said that I will or plan to use your guide to build. I said that it to much work for average person.
I saw your post where you clearly state that you wanna locked bootloader. I pointed to easiest way to do that. Don't like it? Do what you like.
For patching ota by using avbroot. I did it and tested on my own pixels(6a,2 -6, not pro) and not pushing you to do that. As all here I wanna show people another option.
I don't need rom signed you or any one else. It personal rom and I do not have time and willing to inspect it. For me enough that I trust graphene team! I already build rom for my self with implemented of root, patching some graphene code, remove some apks and replaced it with mine and settings that I need. Of cause I sign but that rom it for me and my family not for public. So no any need in secondhand roms.
I did't tell that you responcible for NFC, Saftynet pass just wanna point out that locking bootloader not helps with these issue.Not expect you fix that. You said that you didn't touch code. It's Graphene and it on their side. I used Graphene long enough to know advantages and disadvantages.
And I as you don't intend to start security discussion here or with someone else. Don't worry and have a good day!

1.I already know this, I thought this would be obvious. I think using Graphene OS at all is too much for the average person, the average person will just use their phone as it comes and never put a custom rom onto it. This was never intended for the average person.
2. I appreciate that there is an easier way to do it, But I already said I was going to do what I like instead.
3. I appreciate that you have tested this works, I will likely update the guide I have created with this information for people who don't want to build it from source but would also prefer to patch official builds with magisk themselves
4. I do highly recommend everyone does build it themself, I think you should not rely on and trust graphene to always provide updates that have not been modified in some malicious way, it's always possible they could get hacked and an update build could be silently replaced with a malicious version
5. Locking the bootloader has nothing to do with safetynet for me, It's more about the other protections that locking the bootloader enables, like making it much harder for someone to be able to access my data or use the phone without erasing the data
Thankfully there is several banking apps which work and even let you use NFC for payments, while you do not pass safetynet
6. I appreciate it, thank you. I hope you have a good day also.

I spent half of my week following your guide because with my old ass I7-3770K running Debian within VMware takes days since I didn't know there was another way. The main building part (m target-files-package took 6,5 hours to complete) Reading what boom15 said I'd be very happy if I never had to go down this route ever again.
Thank both of you gentlemen for spreading information about this, I wound't be able to figure it out by myself.
I guess I only have to download the OTA from grapheneos.org/releases and follow avbroot's readme, right? (I feel like a retard right now for wasting that much time setting up my VM, it running out of disk space, reinstalling it, etc.. )

I do completely understand and sympathize, I have already updated the guide with this simple method of patching graphene for those who are unable to or don't want to build it from source themselves
I think you have gained some valuable experience and knowledge though which will likely help you in the future with other endeavors.
At least you didn't spend a good couple of weeks trying to patch graphene with magisk manually before I even discovered AVBRoot was a thing, so glad that exists

I understand your side too, my end goal would be using only self built opensource software on every device I have, but you gotta start somewhere, right? Maybe once I'll have nothing better to spend money on I'll build myself a newer pc and dual boot linux so it doesn't take ages to build graphene.
I'm all about doing new things, getting experience and knowledge, so I'm not even mad, but just feel relieved that I'll be able to update it easily. Atleast now I'm getting familiar with Debian, which will come in handy when I'll get myself to continue setting up my VPS, so I can selfhost everything I need..
Well I didn't try that, mainly because I'm curious if I'll be able to use my banking app if I root my phone and lock the bootloader, since that sucker won't even let me use contactless payment with a stock os combined with an unlocked bootloader.
New Release #2022121100
Missed a couple of update releases due to build errors then other errors I have finally resolved so
Changes since the 2022120300 release:
resolve upstream bug in Android 13 QPR1 causing screen brightness dimming on user profile changes
Settings: replace hard-wired refresh rate in the text for the smooth display toggle with the actual max refresh rate used for the device model (Android has the string hard-wired to say 90Hz and expects the device to provide an overlay with the correct string which isn't present in AOSP for Pixels)
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Generic 5.10): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 5.10.156
