On IodéOS with locked boot loader France identité still loads forever on its splash screen, how to solve this issue?
Feb 13, 12:28am

The issue with France Identité freezing on the splash screen on IodéOS with a locked bootloader is a known problem, often related to the device's security requirements. Here’s what you can do:

1. Unlock the Bootloader (Temporarily)

France Identité requires a fully locked bootloader and certain security features that may not be fully supported on custom ROMs like IodéOS, even if the bootloader is locked. However, if the app is stuck on the splash screen, it’s likely due to missing security certifications or partitions that are not properly signed.

  • If you locked the bootloader after installing IodéOS, try unlocking it again to see if the app at least launches (though it may still not work due to missing security features).
  • Note: Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data, so back up important files first.

2. Check for Specific IodéOS Updates or Patches

  • Some users report that France Identité does not work at all on custom ROMs, even with a locked bootloader, due to missing Google or Samsung security features that are not present in IodéOS. Check the official Iodé community forums for the latest updates or workarounds. As of early 2025, users with IodéOS 6.0 on Samsung devices still encounter errors with France Identité, even with the bootloader locked.

3. Alternative Solutions

  • Use a Supported Device: If possible, use a device officially supported by France Identité (usually Samsung or Google devices with stock firmware).
  • Dual Boot: Some advanced users dual-boot stock and custom ROMs, using the stock ROM only for France Identité.
  • Wait for Official Support: IodéOS may release updates to better support France Identité in the future. Keep an eye on their official GitLab and community forums for announcements.

4. Reinstall IodéOS with Correct Bootloader Locking

  • If you relocked the bootloader, ensure you followed the correct steps for your device (e.g., flashing both recovery_a and recovery_b slots before locking). Incorrect locking can cause boot loops or app malfunctions.

5. Contact Iodé Support

  • If none of the above works, reach out to Iodé support or the community for device-specific advice, as the solution may vary depending on your phone model.

Summary: France Identité is not officially supported on IodéOS due to security requirements, and unlocking the bootloader is not a guaranteed fix. The best approach is to use a supported device or wait for IodéOS to improve compatibility.
