i thought if your on the google version your able to unlock bootloader? Verizon model is not able to unlock bootloader if you take the 7.1.1 update.
Why can't you? Google version allow OEM unlock in dev.options then reboot to fast boot and run fastboot oem unlock. Unless i missed something?

i was trying to use the toolkit to unlock my bootloader
Someone correct me here, but on Google version you don't need to use tool kit i think. I have not unlocked mine and am unsure, but from what i read it's quite literally allow oem unlock then fastboot oem unlock. Again, haven't done it yet so maybe I am off base here.

My apologies, I misread your original post as you having a "Google Verizon Pixel", not version.

As the title says, how can we update to the latest bootloader version available?
it comes automatically with the google updates
just like the recent added one on 2.3.3

Not all of us have the official ROM; so that's not an option.
I am running a custom ROM, and I have updated manually the newest Radio. The only thing that is missing is the bootloader. Is there any way to do that?
if you use the search feature, somebody did upload the bootloader.img for 2.3.3
as a last resort, you can download the 2.3.3 stock ROM. extract it and find bootloader.img and flash it via fastboot
edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11661588&postcount=2596
download bootloader.7z
extract
get bootloader.img
put it in ur /sdk/tools/ folder (yes you have to have the android SDK set up for 2.3.X)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

select "reboot bootloader" and you should see the new version of the bootloader
old bootloader:
bootloader I9020XXJK1
new bootloader:
bootloader I9020XXKA3
Nice! Thanks for that!
Currently my bootloader is unlocked. If I flash another bootloader, will it remain unlocked? or it will be locked and I would have to unlock it again?

Yes it will remain unlocked, it'll just simply override your current bootloader with the newer one. I listed above the new and old bootloader to see if it worked.
It wont ever be re-locked unless you type: fastboot oem lock
Yeap, it worked perfectly fine - still unlocked! Thank you very much!
Just need a yes or no. I've read tons of threads but can't get a simple yes or no. I inherited this phone so I couldn't unlock before taking an update. Can I root this phone:
Yes
or
No
No, you cannot currently root a Pixel on NMF26O with the default locked bootloader. The current root method requires an unlocked bootloader, and the exploit that previously allowed the Verizon bootloader to be unlocked does not work on NMF26O.
Can you flash back to OEM image and unlock then reflash new build then root?

No. You can't flash unless it is already unlocked.
Can I lock my bootloader again? Because I can't flash anythis, because FRP is locked, I think that is the problem why I can't flash no?And in the development settings enable oem unlock it's blocked and I can't switch the button...
Usually users report to do the rollback to MM and they get the phone locked and unrooted
Just like out of the box..
But in your case I would be more carefull since oem unlock can not be changed..
Let some more experiaced user tell you if you can do the rollback to MM evan with the
oem unlock not changed..
Use the adb command with the unlocking code you got

What to do with adb and unlocking code, because bootloader is unlocked, but i can t do anything, and i cannot enable oem unlock
I have answered similar question here. Now you have to flash rollback and after that B131 (everything as stock). Then you have to update to version you want to unlock and follow my steps.

Sorry, I thought I was answering someone else, there's lots of people talking about bootloader
Is it possible to root LG G710N on android 10 or will i have to go back to Oreo ULM before?
The simplest method is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

That's where the problem is. I can't access my fastboot mode. Using adb reboot bootloader or holding volume - while phone starts up, nothing seems to work.
I also learnt bootloader is only unlockable on ULM and European versions. I have a Korean model.
Will cross-flashing to the European version help?
If yo u are planning on unlocking the bootloader and rooting, then get either the global version, or Tencent (which is Chinese market version) but it has to be on Chinese ROM so you can unlock the bootloader.
if it is Tencent edition with global ROM, just do not buy it.
the issue faced by most who get Tencent edition with global ROM is that the resellers unlock the bootloader to flash the global ROM & then they relock the bootloader.
ASUS only allows you 1 time unlock.unlocking for a 2nd time is yet to be successful.
i am facing this issue myself hence i do not wish it to anyone else.
Thanks bro.
What about global version? Can they be unlocked multiple times?

Unlock only allowed once even with global. Once relock, can't unlock again.

If you purchased the device from eBay or Amazon and it is a Tencent version with WW installed, you may want to check that it isn't already unlocked. There are also some sellers that convert the phone and then lock the bootloader again without realizing it is once and done.

What exactly is it that prevents the Tencent version from being re-unlocked? Do you know? Is the unlock tool coded to reject subsequent unlocks on Tencent? When I confirmed with ASUS that I could re-unlock mine after they rolled it back to factory (WW version not TC), the guy told me you can unlock indefinitely, they just register that you've done it over the internet when you use the ASUS tool...

I honestly don't know if it is some step that is being performed incorrectly or corrupted conversions. I was able to unlock mine again after being sold a converted version, but it also had the original serial and IMEI intact. It could also be a myth left over from the 3.
Thats exactly the problem. They only allow the BL to be unlocked one time. It will stay unlocked after that unless you relock it yourself. Once re-locked, you are locked for good.
Unless someone figures out a way around it, and to my knowledge previous ROG devices have had no such luck.

Low-level EDL is supposed to be able to fix that. I don't intend to test it.

I thought this phone would be really popular among enthusiast but it failed miserably. Unlocking bl is hard from what I'm reading so I guess we won't have custom roms any time soon

Looked great on paper. It's a big miss from ASUS - they've scr*wed up. It's not just the BL unlock, the list is growing...
