Hi all,
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted and dropped the purenexus 7.1.2 ROM on my Pixel back when it was all released. At the time people were saying that its about as good as its going to get and then when 8 came along ppl said a rooted Pixel can't be updated to the new OS while bootloader is unlocked and rooted.
Just wondering if someone can weigh in and tell me where we are currently at with Pixel in regards to rooting, bootloaders and OS updates? Can we have an unlocked bootloader, TWRP installed, rooted and run 8.1 with OTA updates now?

You can unlock your bootloader. TWRP and root your phone. You won't get OTA updates, but you can install them manually. Or unroot your phone.

If I was to unroot but keep the bootloader unlocked would OTA updates work again?
Is the old bootloader unlock still valid or do I need to lock it and unlock it using current methods?
After Downgrading from Pie to Oreo. And officially unlocking bootloader via nokia website, And installing twrp and magisk, MY PHONE IS ROOTED.
But,
Can i flash latest Pie firmware now without losing root ? If yes how? And will bootloader get locked again by doing this?

You will lose root as far as I know, but you can easily reisntall it via twrp. The bootloader will not be relocked unless you manually do so yourself.
I flashed custom in my RN7pro, but i didn't like the rom & came back to stick miui 11 rom. Now Vidvivne L1 showing L3. I flashed many stock versions of miui 10 & 11 but still only L3. Can you share how to get back Vidvivne L1 back in my RN7pro.
You can't get L1 certificate on bootloader unlocked devices.
will I get L1 certificate if I locked the bootloader
no I don't think so you get the l1 even if the bootloader is on lock because also unlocked and flash different rom the persist partition has changed
I came back from Xiaomi.eu rom to the official Android 11 FW from Xiaomi.
Bootloader is unlocked, I did not root my device.
Feankly speaking I don't need my device to be unlocked or rooted, I am quite happy with the stock FW.
I can't use Google Pay, my safenet status is not pass. If I lock my bootloader will it come back then?
Thanks for your help.

Has anyone unlocked the bootloader on oneplus 9 global? how to not lose Widevine L1, because I have tried many times but every time I unlock the bootloader my Oneplus 9 always loses L1 and it changes to L3
AFAIK there's no way to keep L1 while the bootloader is unlocked.

Yes. I'm unlocked and L1. You have to use magisk and zygisk to hide . Then l1 occurs.

Yeah I have Widevine L1. I rooted C.48 global with Magisk 24.3, hid Magisk, installed Shamiko (because it's better than denylist), and installed Universal SafetyNet Fix.

This is for the 9 Pro but it's the same process (you will want to check both the 9 and 9 Pro forums because the 9 Pro is more active and devs will often just drop their thread there for both devices).
