Unlocked bootloader for Verizon version??

I'm sure this has been asked already but I'm curious what y'all think. I know that the OG Pixel came locked but a workaround was eventually found. Do you think it's possible/likely that will be the case for the Pixel 2?
Nope. If you want to unlock, buy it from Google.

Pixel

Looking to buy the Pixel 1, 5 inch screen. Only problem is Verizon is only place to get one. Can I unlock bootloader on the Verizon model. Have Bern away from Nexus & Pixel products for some time. Using SGS8 & the iPhone 8.
Thanks, Vinny
There's a guy on Facebook who is able to enable the Verizon variant oem unlock toggles, which is how mine is unlocked
Firstly u can still buy it from Google or a thirty party which are bootloader unlockable. Secondly there is currently an exploit for Verizon bootloader but it requires letting an fb stranger have remote access to ur PC or a virtual machine as well as ur phone and he will beg for $30 afterwards

Unlock T-Mobile Pixel 4

I didn't see this clearly posted anywhere, so I figured I would share.
In the past with OnePlus devices on T-Mobile you were able to call and request OEM unlock even if the phone wasn't paid off. Typically, as long as you were a long time customer they would provide the unlock if the phone wasn't paid off yet. Which got me to thinking, I should try the same thing for my new Pixel 4 XL.
After a few minutes with T-Mobile support chat I was able to get T-Mobile customer support to allow me to unlock my Pixel 4. It took about 24 hours and a restart for the OEM unlock in developer settings to appear. But after that I was able to unlock the bootloader via fastboot with no problem.
Tmobile's policy is that the phone must be paid in full and wait 40 days to unlock. Now you can get lucky with customer service or tmobile on Twitter (this is actually the best way) and get it unlocked sooner but it's just getting lucky. Not everyone will get it unlocked sooner.

At least it worked for you. There's another thread already started with this same conversation only the phones still can't be unlocked after getting an unlock from t mobile
Worked for me, I received the phone early called them and was unlocked in 10 mins. I'm about to return phone though and roll with iphone 11 pro max and note 10 plus. Pixel isn't cutting it.
Really don't need to be unlocked anymore

Should I keep my Sprint OnePlus 7 Pro 5G?

Hey there Everyone!
For Christmas, I was gifted a OnePlus 7 Pro 5g(sprint variant). As I'm sure everyone knows, the bootloader is locked. and I was really hoping for a phone with Android 10. I've seen posts where some progress has been made on getting this device unlocked but nothing concrete yet.
My question is, Should I keep my OnePlus 7 pro and wait for an unlocked bootloader, or should I just return it?
Any input is welcomed!
Thanks

There is no guarantee you will be able to unlock the BL.
Also the phone is unique to Sprint (maybe EE in Europe has same phone) and that means the software/ROM is unique.
You will not be able to flash a generic international firmware version since the 5G is using the X50 modem.
If your desire is for a phone with an unlock able/unlocked BL on Sprint; good luck with that.
Not to be sarcastic, but Sprint is even more locked down that Verizon.

I'm actually on a VZW prepaid plan currently using a Chinese Mi Mix 3. My main hope would be to get it running Android 10. I could really care less about the 5g speeds as I don't really get access to it with my plan. My biggest issue with my Mi Mix 3 is that Development seems to be completely dead and I don't want to get stuck in the same scenario. But if there is hope for the OP7P5G, I dont mind hanging onto it until I can use it to its full potential.
Could be a fun ride for you... ?
i have gotten many phones on sprint unlocked such as pixels and they work. im getting a oneplus for free and have to use it for 50 days before they unlock it. don't know more than that but id trade for a pixel 3xl or something since i can confirm they can be unlocked and rooted. im using my pixel 3xl rooted on Verizon right now so i can confirm the sprint variant of that phone works.

Verizon Pixel 5

Wil there be a way to unlock the bootloader on Verizon Pixel 5 anytime soon? I screwed up & trusted Verizon & purchased the Pixel 5 from them. They have the only locked version of the Pixel 5.
Unlocking Pixel 5 for Verizon
Glad I found this so Verizon hasn't changed I was just thinking maybe get that model for mm wave support but I want to be able to unlock the bootloader.

At&t pixel 5 is carrier-locked
LOL, you just now discovered that carrier locked phones can't be rooted? It's amazing the number of people who still don't know that carrier incentivized devices are locked and the exploit ship has long ago sailed away into the sunset.

Ordered a Pixel 5 from the google store for Verizon unlockable bootloader?
If you bought the VZW version, it will be locked, and is not unlockable.
