        On Android I know how to unlock OEM and how to enable USB Debugging. Someone told me in regards to an issue I was having that I had to do that on Ubuntu Touch. Just to clarify there is no way to unlock OEM through the UT OS is there ? Only way that comes to mind other than when on Android is through Fastboot commands and the terminal when plugged into a PC correct ?

        Volla X23 on 20.04

          @Simmonz That is correct, the device must have the toggle button in developer options set to unlock in Android and then booted into the bootloader (fastboot mode), attached to a PC and unlocked using a terminal on the PC to put it simply. It varies on devices, but is intrinsically the same.

          Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
          I have too many devices...

            To clarify a bit, you cannot unlock the bootloader in UT, because you cannot lock the bootloader when running UT. We do not have signed kernels and system image for verified boot, and on some devices the OS image had to be placed on userdata due to size constraints of the system partition.

            There is also no adb as UT is not Android, so no "USB Debugging" options.

            What exactly is the issue you are having that someone told you that you need to do these things?
