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?
Hello,
So my Oneplus 6 was rooted on Android 8.1 for a while now. Recently i got the update for Android 9 and did the official OTA Update to 9. Now my root seems gone or at least it doesn't work anymore.
Now I actually want to remove the root completly because I want to use my banking app, which won't work on rooted phones.
How do I remove the leftovers of this root? I had Magisk + TWRP on it. TWRP shouldn't affect any apps right? Would it be enough to just relock the bootloader? Cause root seems gone already there is no need to uninstall it right?
Thank you for your help.

you need to flash boot.img and system.img from the start. You can dump them from the OTA you have installed.

Just flash full ROM zip file in TWRP. Data will stay in tact, stock boot img and stock recovery.
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.
Hi,
is there any option to install TWRP for eventual backup before root? Its my only question. I want to save my Widevine L1 (dont want to unlock bootloader cause it transfer my phone to Widevine L3). Thanks for support and sorry if it's nonsense
Hello, I'm going to unlock the bootloader to root, I would like to know if it continues to receive and install OTA updates even unlocked.

Unlocked yes rooted no. Not unless you restore stock images then direct install magisk to active slot after ota installs.
