Googlebooks get unlockable bootloaders, and Magisk is coming too

Google confirmed in an official support document that its new Googlebook laptops will have unlockable bootloaders, with a procedure that looks almost as simple as on Pixel devices. Magisk creator John Wu also said Magisk is coming to Googlebooks, opening the door to easy root access.

• Unlocking is done via OEM unlocking in Developer Options and recovery mode
• John Wu announced Magisk for Googlebook, with code and instructions coming soon
• Unlocking the bootloader wipes data and can trip integrity checks
• Root enables deep system mods, performance tuning and ad blocking
