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.

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.

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

i got my phone replaced by the insurance and it came with the latest OTA (9.30.1), from what ive read on this page, people that had root lost it due to the OTA update and what save them was that their bootloader was unlucked and all they had to is reflash SU via TWRP or CWM.

That is very true... But I am assuming our bootloader is locked correct?
If it is locked then their isn't a way to unlocked the bootloader right now.
So you can't get root nor unlocked bootloader. If you want to place your money on the list then I can do that and also please share these forum on all your social network because I am trying to find a developer that want to take on this change.

Sorry man.
Try Eclipse or FreedomROM
There's an old saying, "If a Verizon rep claims something in a forest, and no one is around to hear them, is it still incorrect?"
It's been my experience that if you get told anything by 1 rep, 4 are waiting in the wings to completely discredit the other. If you can get 5 out of 5 reps to claim something then, maybe, only maybe 50/50, it's correct.
I've had verizon for over 10 years... when they say it'll be out, it'll be out either a year after they say or never

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

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
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! =]

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!

That's for a Pixel. The OnePlus betas are unstable and incomplete. Also no recovery mode built-in.
I see there are already rooting/unlocking bootloader instructions for the regular 8T. is there any reason I should hesitate before buying the 8T+?
my main concern is (future) 8T roms may not work on 8T+. but in general, seems like most OnePlus phones eventually get official LineageOS. so should I not worry about it?
obviously it'll be some time before roms are available regardless - that's fine. I'm more thinking about 2 years down the road.

Thats for sim unlock. There's no time requirement listed for the bootloader. Only need the sim unlocked prior. So if tforce is willing to whitelist the imei (which it sounds like they usually do if your nice about it) then it should be possible. It can take 2 days to get the unlock file but thats better than 2 years to pay off the device.

Thats for sim unlock. There's no time requirement listed for the bootloader. Only need the sim unlocked prior. So if tforce is willing to whitelist the imei (which it sounds like they usually do if your nice about it) then it should be possible. It can take 2 days to get the unlock file but thats better than 2 years to pay off the device.

I am a non-American, so I have no idea how the stuff works there, but can't you guys buy a normal unlocked device and use any sim that you want? Any benefits of getting a carrier locked device?

I got already a sim unlock and I tried already multiple times to request a Bootloader unlock code and gives me errors that I need to ender a valid code, so I chat with support and they told me there is a 45 days wait

Problem is that even when you do get your SIM unlocked you still have to wait 45 days from date of purchase to be able to request a Bootloader unlock code (according to OP)

Is their a model difference between the normal US version and T-Mobiles? Will it make any difference in bootloader unlock?

I literally had this phone 2 months, and had him unlock it using chat, and my special crafted message, during reading this thread! 2 minutes ...Would you like? (T-Mobile)
