make sure you phone is completely stock (stock recovery no root etc) and go to bootloader and type in fastboot oem lock

Hello guys.
I'm going to buy used and bootloader unlocked Verizon Pixel tomorrow and I'm interested in couple of things:
1. Can I flash all the ROMs that are available for Pixel on Verizon version too?
2. Can I properly install TWRP, root using Magisk, etc?
3. Can I properly flash (and downgrade if needed) official system images (and are they ever available for Verizon models?)
4. Can I take part in Android Beta program?
5. Is there anything I should be afraid of?
Thanks in advance.
Make sure it is bootloader unlocked, and not just SIM unlocked. There are not many VZ ones around that are bootloader unlocked. You need that to do the items on you list.

As I already stated, bootloader is already unlocked.
No one has an answer?
If it's bootloader u locked then yeah u can do all those things. Just do not ever for any reason ever relock the bootloader. Also I believe there have been a few cases where ppl have had semibricks or other issues which required locked stock to fix or somehow resulted in locked stock
I got a replacement about a month ago on my small Pixel and that one was unlocked. However, the one I got from Verizon in store did not have an unlocked bootloader. I'm not sure what the deal is, but maybe getting a replacement from an "accidental" break might do the trick. just to clarify, my first Pixels' usb port got completely fried and started to smell bad whenever it charged, and the phone would get really hot. I am now on 8.1 with an unlocked bootloader but have yet to actually root the phone

Okay so I have spent over 2 hours looking to see if anyone has asked this, but cannot find an answer.
I have a Verizon Google Pixel it was on 7.1 when I unlocked the bootloader with DePixel8.
I have to return it and was wondering how do I relock the bootloader? Also do I need to be back on Android 7.1?
I have since unlocked the updated to android 8.0 (or w.e. the current version of Android is out.) while bootloader is unlocked.
(I AM NOT ROOTED NOR HAVE I INSTALLED ANY TYPE OF CUSTOM RECOVERY ONLY APPS FROM PLAY STORE)
Now one last thing. If I relock will I need to use the DePixel8 method again and give the command fastboot oem lock?
Any help is appreciated. And sorry for being such a darn noob. Kinda new to this.
P.S. forgive me if this was asked somewhere and I couldn't find it,
You should be able to run the command in bootloader mode "fastboot flashing lock" and then toggle oem unlocking in settings off if it isnt already.
I've been trying at this for a couple days now,no success but no brick either Every phone I've owned up to this one I've been able to root and flash recoveries and custom roms as I pleased but this phone been tricky for me so I need someone here maybe to tell me my next move... So I called TMobile and I got the rep to give me a permanent unlock for my phone and I checked the Tmobile unlock app and its says permanently unlocked ...So my question now is since I cant seem to get the adb to "fastboot oem unlock" to change the device state to unlocked in the bootloader without asking me for my unlock code ,how to I get this to work? Is the next step requesting the unlock code from Oneplus because I have all the info for the form for Oneplus but don't know how to find unlock code for the form.... Help me out guys ... Thanks

You now need to convert to Int. version, you can't "fastboot oem unlock" on T-Mo version without a stupid unlock token! Follow these instructions ===> https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/how-to-convert-tmobile-op7-to-t3935947

After this, you need to enable OEM unlock. See here.
Once you have enabled OEM Unlock under developer options, the fastboot oem unlock will work.

Does it say bootloader already unlocked under the OEM unlocking tab by any chance. It will go greyed out if unlocked, mine is.

No it is not unlocked
Fair play mate, thought I'd throw that out there just in case.
I see you was asking on the Verizon bootloader unlock thread also so hopefully you get it unlocked again.
Good luck
ok so I have got a moto g pure (XT2163DL) with a tracfone bootloader and ive accepted that I cant find anyway so far to get my unlockable bootloader unlocked. I have looked and tried everything I could find without using a paid service which is probably what I need to do or just get another phone but first I have one more idea but I just dont know if it is even still possible or not. Can I use the cyanogenmod installer on my phone and unlock my bootloader and then switch back and keep an unlocked bootloader? Im running android 12. My oem unlock switch is not greyed out and it is set to unlock and even though I have tried using fastboot oem unlock and it said it was successful , it wasnt really unlocked afterall. motorola site just says my bootloader cant be unlocked. Is this a viable option?
