There is no official tmo version so we have to wait a lot before any mm custom rom

Can we flash the international official firmware on this phone via odin? I don't have root by the way and not planning on rooting.
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.

Just so you know I didnt get a PIXEL XL but a PIXEL and it came with 7.1 NDE26P Ordered Monday got it Tuesday AM. 12/20/2016
Bootloader unlocked and rooted already. Haven't even activated. :victory:
**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

So it is a Verizon Pixel then. You are done, it has to be unlocked ro get root.
So is it normal for Tmobile and Sprint go get updates first?
Looks like they have an update rolling out starting last night.
Anyone get one on AT&T yet. Might jump per to Tmobile firmware if They get all the updates first.
Also what security patch is the U1 firmware on? I know Samsung made some promises after the unlocked S7 that they would be better at pushing out updates directly to that phone. If they get better with those updates I'd switch to that firmware I think as well.
Yes, T-Mobile & Sprint are faster generally.
As for Samsung's promise to step up support for the U phones, I guess it's too early to tell. With that said, however, Samsung recently pushed out the May update for the 935U which was a pleasant surprise. So far after Samsung's promise, the 935U has gotten the updates 2 months in a row instead of once every 3 months.

Did they get an update already? I thought they just started out on the May patch, are they on the June patch already?
If it's going to be that far ahead I'll switch to that firmware right away.
AT&T update live now. I can't download yet, no wifi.

Mine just updated to AQEF, May Security patch level.
May? Can you reconfirm this? Unlocked is June.

Just installed AQEF and it says May 1, 2017 for the Android security patch level.

Yeah so is the AT&T firmware really a whole MONTH behind the Unlocked Firmware?
That blows my mind. Also really is pushing me towards switching to the Unlocked firmware.
Screen shot below of the AT&T firmware version numbers.

It also enables the ability to toggle/hide the bottom navigation bar. Which I'm pumped about

Sorry got an AT&T they do not Allow Beta Testers. So who knows when they will get Oreo to run with all their Bloatware Next Year to release Oreo!!! Think just T-Mobile and Verizon allowed to be Beta Testers.
You can flash unlocked firmware and run beta. They just dropped a beta update now and say within the next month will be opening up the program again so keep an eye on the Samsung+ app

I was pretty sure it was only T-Mobile and Sprint. No Verizon. Was I wrong?

Does it matter which carrier sim is being used with the unlocked firmware in the US? I have had the unlocked firmware installed for a while with an at&t sim and haven't seen anything about the beta in the Samsung+ app.

That's because the registration isn't open again yet.
You can use any sim. I was using an att sim card with att unlocked G950U1 firmware I downloaded from Updato.com
