Hey everyone
I first time use Google phone.
This time I bought pixel 3.
I want to ask what will happen to I root and unlocked my phone?
Will it lose its warranty?
Or something can't work?
Because I take Sony phone before
If Sony's phone unlocked then it's camera can't work and lose warranty.
So I want to know what I will lose after unlocking?
Or just relock it and it's ok
Sorry my English is bad.
Root will not void warranty. To get root,. You need to unlock bootloader. Unlocking bootloader resets phone to fresh state. Do that prior to setup. Everything works like normal with root.

Do not relock your phone if it isn't 100 percent stock. You will probably brick it and won't be able to flash it. Why would you want to relock it afterwards?

Uhh because I just root my phone before when I use Sony phone.
So I can flash custome kernel and not relock and it not make me any trouble？
Is it the same as normal?
If I really want to relock, I have to flash back to original kernal then can be relock?
Sorry I long time haven't do this.

The only issue with unlocked is that will break Google Pay if you use that. However, almost all custom kernels hide the unlock and Google Pay will be fine. Or if you root with Magisk that will also fix Google Pay
Yes, flash back to stock before you relock it.
Unlocking or relocking will wipe your data, there is no way around that.

Oh so i can direct flash original OS, it's all will back be original.
No need to flash back google kernel first.
Question 2
Can I flash out the custom kernel and then directly Flash other custom kernels?
Question 3
Pixel can use xposed?
Really thank you very much.
Give me a big hand

1. Yes. Fastbooting the factory image will return you to the stock google kernel. Or, you can just fastboot the boot.img as well.
2. On some of the kernels you can, check with the kernel Dev first. It's always good practice to return to the stock kernel before flashing another custom one.
3. Nope. It's not even working on the P2XL on pie.

Once you extract the factory image, you will see another zip file that has the vendor, system, boot, and other images. The boot.img is the stock kernel and recovery combined.

Hello guys
im looking to root my OPO, but i dont want to unlock the Bootloader or install a custom recovery, just want a method to root so i can install Xposed on the stock CM11S rom, is this actually possible?
Why not just unlock the bootloader? Your warranty isn't affected by it. You lose nothing by unlocking it, and you gain nothing by leaving it locked.

Like @timmaaa mentioned, you lose nothing when you unlock bootloader. Not only that, it is the recommended and futureproof approach to do so. Unlocking the bootloader wipes your phone completly clean. Suppose somewhere down the road you want to try different ROMs, you'd realize you cannot do so without losing your data. So you'r much better off unlocaking your bootlaoder right now.
But to answer your question, no. It is not possible at a simpler level. Unlocking the bootlaoder give you access to all the partitions on the phone. What you need access to specifically is the recovery partition so you could flash a custom recovery and install the SU binaries onto your system. through that recovery.
What others have said, unlock the bootloader there's no problem with leaving it unlocked.
You're given the key to unlock the bootloader using a command. Use it and make your life simple. It's like saying you have the key to your house but you want to get inside the house without unlocking the door. Just use the key and make it simple.

Perhaps you felt like I did, worried that you are ruining your phone or your ota ability.
Unlocking the Bootloader is painless aside from having to reinstall all your programs. Everyone says it wipes the os, but what they don't tell you is that you don't have to dig around looking for the proper version to reinstall. You just type a code, and the phone reboots fresh like a factory reset, ready to go. And installing the custom recovery is easy, and it works perfectly with ota updates.

I used to have sony devices so i new how to flash roms on such phones pretty well. Now i moved to nexus 5. I need somebody to help me install twrp recovery and a good kernel (i found elementalx) for lollipop. Also i got a question.. If i get bored or need the warranty in order to get back to full stock will i just have to flash the factory image with the instructions google give us? Also if i flash the custom recovery will i have to reflash the rom?(by unlocking bootloader do i lose my data?

Do you mean restoring a TWRP backup? It won't touch your recovery or your bootloader. Just make sure you wipe properly (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) before restoring.
no doing a full clean restore to stock cm12s, from toolkit

Don't use a toolkit, they're nothing but trouble and inevitably cause problems. It's perfectly safe to flash the cm-12.0-YNG1TAS2I3 stock images and you'll find detailed instructions in my guide thread:

I think @EddyOS's script does relock the bootloader, which you definitely don't want because once relocked sometimes it won't unlock again. He'll need to confirm that though. It definitely flashes the stock recovery but you can flash TWRP again.

You will be ok to update. you have to boot Twrp again if you want it and flash su Again if you want it. flash fire is suppose to take a update now and keep root. I haven't tested it through. Going to try it soon

I don't have TWRP or any other recovery installed. I left it stock just unlocked bootloader and flashed SuperSU so I could edit the build.prop to use tethering with my unlimited data plan. I'm a little afraid to change much since nothing seems to be designed for my build number.

I currently have android 11 which about 2 years ago I unlocked, installed TWRP and rooted. I later allowed the phone to update but didn't realize I should have re-flashed TWRP and root before I rebooted the phone so I lost the use of TWRP and root. Now I want to reflash android 11 but wont unlock and root the phone again but want TWRP. How do I go about doing this (I am not strong with what I need to do and have usually caused a problem before by using the wrong enchilada file, the last one that worked was twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio I think) and which files should I use?
you can't flash anything on a locked phone so at the very least you can have it unlocked + twrp and no root if you wish
otherwise no twrp

That's what i was saying, this is not possible, locking or unlocking requires full wipe which nullifies any custom things you do.
You can have a phone that's not rooted which should be good enough for most checks but if it checks the bootloader there's nothing you can do about it besides not use it or use stock
