This GitHub project documents companies that restrict bootloader unlocking, including tech giants like Apple, Google, and Amazon. It categorizes manufacturers by unlock policies—some making unlocking impossible, others requiring online accounts or conditions—while providing detailed, chip-specific methods for Kirin, MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Unisoc devices. The resource highlights industry trends toward user control limitations, risks to device freedom (e.g., sideloading restrictions), and offers practical workarounds. Essential for tech enthusiasts, developers, and privacy advocates focused on device security, chip vulnerabilities, and emerging tech policies.
