OTA Update Today for AT&T S4

Check your Update setting on your S4. Update is 392.48 MB download.
Sure I will loose ROOT. It is downloading Now.

It updates to 4.4.4. Not a whole lot added but bloat. Did make the phone more snappier after the update though.

[Q] Unlocking bootloader question

Would unlocking my bootloader erase all my apps and user data?

Well first of all where does it say that the AT&T version is unlockable? I haven't seen anything about the AT&T version being unlockable. Just maybe the international versions.

Well then how are there custom ROMs available for it if it can't be unlocked?

It's NEVER been unlocked. It's called Loki and or patching or whatever it's called now days for the Roms to be able to work.
I know it's called Loki on the LG Pro.

AH. Well okay then, will rooting erase any of my apps or user data? Like the entire process to root? I just got this phone so I'd have to go through the entire process to root, whatever that involves.

Unlock bootloader on Verizon Pixel bought today (December)?

Does anyone know if I were to buy a Verizon Pixel today would I be able to unlock the bootloader? I ask about "today" because I'm not sure what software the phones are shipping with and from the bit I've read, the original forced-unlock tool only worked on earlier builds.
Or am I way off base here?

You are correct, with the December update they can't be unlocked. So far they are not shipping with the December update. I doubt they will any time soon.

Same. Got mine last weekend, no problems with depixel8.

I received my Pixel yesterday from Verizon and it did not have the 7.1.1 update installed so unlocking the bootloader should still be possible. What I'd like to know is if I were to unlock it, would I be able to apply the 7.1.1 update and still have it unlocked?

Unlock it first. It will update as long as you don't root or mod it. It will remain unlocked.

Yep, once you are unlocked you are good forever. I did mine exactly as I described. No SIM, unlocked, took the update and then rooted.

Lol, 1 more question, do we need to do updates in sequence or just jump right to the latest, which is 7.1.1(nmf26q)

If you are going to fastboot flash the full image, jump to the latest. If you are going to let or download ota'd mine also jumped to the latest. So guess it doesn't matter.

**DELETED**

noob here lol
So I've got the regular Google Pixel from Verizon and I am on 7.1.1 NOF27B, my question is so there's absolutely no work around to unlock the bootloader to then gain root access? Just curious, if so I think I"m gonna need to switch carriers then lmao

Returning to stock

Hello, i am currently on pure nexus with the April update on tmobile (pixel xl). I have a few questions I'm hoping someone could answer before diving in. Which factory image do i use, 7.1.2 May N2G47T? I would like to be able to take ota updates after I'm done, i take it that this would now be possible then? Also, do i need to relock my bootloader to take ota updates. Thanks

No, that is the image for Deutsce Telekom. You want N2G47K. They are labeled on the full image page.
You do not need to relock to get ota's

Ok, but that is April's image, is there a May image i can use?

Hey there buddy,
Google's website for Factory and OTA includes images/releases from certain carriers. I live in Canada for example so version 7.1.0(I think?) has a release for my specific carrier, so whenever I factory reset, I use that one then relock my bootloader directly after. This leads me to receiving proper OTA everytime.
Other than finding your own carrier image, your best bet is using the standard build flash.
Always be careful with flashing and tinkering and best of luck! =]

Yes. There are three. Verizon, Dutch Telecom and everyone else. Tmobile is in the everyone else category so you are good with that one.

I myself am with Tmobile as well and still on N2G47E, April's Build.
I didn't upgrade to May's build because I read there was an issue with TWRPRC1/RC2 or SU with the bootloader on May
I was wondering if this issue has been solved? Is there another zip I need to flash as well?
So far I have been sticking with Stock Rom, but I root with SU and use elemental X kernal with TWRP. thanks!
