How do I get to enable OEM Unlocking on a verizon Pixel with the 7.1.1 Update? I've already went to a verizon store and they told me to go check out the forums.
It's greyed out, too
Thanks

Can't on 7.1.1. You had to do it before it updated. No way possible now.

Anything is possible in the future. But not right now. And no word of any progress.

This is where it sits currently.
If you want to unlock, install TWRP, etc. on the Verizon Pixel it MUST be done before updating to 7.1.1. The OTA permanently locks the bootloader UNLESS you unlocked before taking the OTA.
The OTA to 7.1.1 blocks the ability to unlock the bootloader with DePixel8. It also blocks the ability to fastboot an earlier build.
None of the developers are working on unlocking the Verizon devices running 7.1.1. The group that did it previously publicly stated they were not searching​ for a new exploit.
Hello Guys
I just got a M9 today. Reading here I see that the Android Oreo is available. My version is MHAL29. So, tried some methods to update but no success.
So, there is a way to update without unlocking bootloader ?! Like OTA or something like that
wait official ota

I don't know why. I put my device on fastboot mode, and my bootloader appears locked, but in settings I have no option to update (there is no app), and themes doesn't work. I read that when we get the bootloader unlocked, this features get broke.

I don't think there's an offline firmware update zip like there is for the C636, which would basically reinstall your firmware. That's why I asked which version you were on.
If you can't find a way to resolve this then you could always rebrand to the C636 and it will reinstall your firmware in full
I'd try using firmware finder from the play store first and see if you can install an update using the proxy add-on, however, you'll need to get into system update to do this. Can you not even get into that from settings?
New firmware for C432 region is available for installation.
Any feedback?

Btw. I've got a warning to all of you who installed 195.
I
hard bricked my P20 Pro (L29 C432 locked) when I tried to downgrade from 195 to Oreo 161 using hisuite and rollback firmware 161.
IT's totally bricked, cannot boot to any mode whatsoever. I'll ship it to service today.

DO NOT INSTALL IT. There are rumors going around that it really messes with the bootloader. Some people reported it being locked after upgrading and it not being unlockable anymore with any known method
EDIT: Seems to be a false alarm. I've heard it from some people who run these unlocking sites. Better safe than sorry, I guess

I can't confirm that, installed, still unlocked and root via canary magisk still works. The one change that I noted is that Huawei finally fixed the home gesture, it now works like the mate 20 pro

Thank you. If you have a time later in night could you take some Night mode pictures and share with us? Because the camera performance is not the same since from the .128 fw which is really good.

You did it right because the warning is real, but at the end the device remains unlocked
I used the Firmware Finder pc application and my C432 P20 Pro is not yet approved for 195. That sucks

Do you use magisk modules like CallRecorder or something?

Yes, it was for me.
I did it a factory reset lowlevel and the device remain with BL and FRP unlock.
No issues with OEM unlock enable/disable.

UPDATE 2020-11-12:
With the latest 11.0.3.4 update, Widevine stays at L1 even if you unlock the bootloader or root!
Hi all,
I have seen one comment that someone rooted the 8T and widevine becomes L3 instead of L1, unlike the 8/8 Pro.
Can anyone with rooted 8T or bootloader unlocked 8T comment below what is your widevine security level? You can use the app here to check: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidfung.drminfo&hl=en
Please include your 8T model (e.g. KB2005), whether bootloader is unlocked and/or your phone is rooted. Thanks in advance!
8T model KB2005
Unlocked bootloader
Rooted
It has security level L3

Phones with Widevine L3 cannot stream HD content from many DRM protected services such as Netflix. You can stream max 480p.

When I got my phone and set it up, I had updates from the play store. Netflix was one of those it updated.
I unlocked my bootloader and later on when I tried to use netflix, it promoted me I needed to update the app. When I said ok. It took me to the play store where it said Netflix isn't compatible with my device.
Installing an apk for netflix found on the web gets me netflix, but it still doesn't show in the play store. Plus maximum playback is SD only.
Unlocking the bootloader changed my L1 to L3.

Have you tried relocking your bootloader to see if you go back to L1?

Enabling MagiskHide, then clearing cache and data for play store allows netflix to show up in the play store. However still has the SD issue in the netflix app.

I had this problem before being rooted, so never had magisk to do that. But will give that a try now.
Also. Just doing a quick Google search, there are a few things I've found out. The persist.img apparently holds the DRM keys. If this was changed or damaged it sets Widevine to L3.
I don't think by unlocking the bootloader or rooting that it touches the persist.img, so not sure if that has anything to do with it?
Also, by reading some xda threads and threads on the OnePlus forum, it seems like a system update can fix the issue and you still be unlocked\rooted. Seems to be the case for op8 and some older ones

I don't think it has anything to do with persist.img (that one is more related to the fingerprint). On OP8, OnePlus released a fix and solve the issue, but for older phones like OP6, as long as you unlocked the bootloader, it's permanently Widevine L3 even if you relock it. This is what I am worried about.

Once unlocked, you can't go back to L1. Qualcomm has a "feature" called QFuse, a microscopic fuse on the SOC. It blows if the device is unlocked. That breaks the chain of trust.
Is this something that will affect warranty? Like Knox on Samsung?
Hello! I did what you wanted me to do. I'm rooted with Magisk, Magisk Hide turned on for the DRM checker, and I'm on the latest 11.0.1.2.KB05BA (EU) Widevine is L3.

Nah. Xiaomi and Pixel devices retain L1 on bootloader unlock, even though those devices use Qualcomm chipsets too. So it's definitely not that.
After unlocking the bootloader I was unable lo load Netflix.
Then I have relocked the bootload and Netflix works in full HD

This is DRM info reports now after relocking the bootloader
I have Tmobile Oneplus 8. I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet. Will I have any issues with Google pay with unlocked bootloader if I'm going to unlock it?
I'm using company secure email app on my phone as well. If I have any issues, will I be able to lock the bootloader?
I don't know about tmobile version. But i have unlocked bootloader + root on oos11 and google pay is working fine here
I'm trying stock with locked bootloader and no root for the first time in maybe 8 years, but I've always got everything to work. You tried hiding it in Magisk?

You can, with msm tool, it relocks bootloader and factory resets everything to stock.
