Download the factory image from Google and either fastboot flash the boot image, or use the flash_all script.

I'd suggest flashing the full factory image, using the flash-all script. Make sure your ADB and fastboot are up to date. Download the latest, NOF26V.

Why do you think you're phone is bricked. Did you run the flash all as you were instructed. Those errors you mentioned are normal.

Not until you want to update to newer firmwares and there is no unlock method on those bootloaders. Converting to a GPS Pixel would be ideal if it is even possible.

If you unlock now and update later your bootloader will remained locked unless Google finds a way to push a bootloader update with the coming OTA's that locks your bootloader after unlocking but that's highly unlikely. Plus, if you jump the gun and install the OTA before knowing the results of the OTA, you're kind of asking for something like this to happen. Hopefully Google doesn't find a deceitful way of pushing bootloader updates to lock us back up as you know they have already learned that a backdoor was found to unlock the Verizon bootloaders. They're not stupid and Jcase already said the sunshine guys were sending the exploit to Google so they would patch it. Vulnerabilities are too common these days on Android and these exploit seekers are quick to submit patches for them.
OK. Finally was able to flash the latest pixel factory image on my PXL. Minimal and fastboot and latest drivers from Google.
i sorta need help in this department as well... do i unzip the zip inside the zip??
im getting missing recovery.img and missing boot.sig i would like to make this a non verizon device. the flash-all.bat didnt work and i tried modifying it by removing -w but still same errors. spoon feed me please or teamview? its been 2 days
I'm going to be exchanging my pixel and getting another one. Just curious so I know for the future.. if I flash the full factory image via fastboot does that relock the bootloader? I'm gonna guess that it doesn't but just wanna make sure.
New to adb and fastboot so I've been reading around like crazy trying to learn. Is the only way to lock again to use the actual lock command in fastboot?
Edit: I'm referring to using the flash-all.bat script
Yes, you will have to re-lock the bootloader. Do it with fastboot in the bootloader.
Although, you don't have to re-lock the bootloader before sending your phone back... Especially since it will have the stock image flashed to it.

No. Flashing the factory image does not relock the bootloader. After you have successfully rebooted, return to the bootloader and use the command: fastboot oem lock

Right click the flash-all script, and choose edit (or something like that) from the drop down menu. In the last line where it says "fastboot -w update..." delete the "-w". Then just use this flash-all.

Correct. Let me ask you, do you have any modifications to your Pixel? Root, TWRP, custom kernel? If not, you'd be better off with ADB sideload.

I have root and that's it. So if I'm understanding correctly, I would put the factory image zip in the platform tools folder and extract it there, open a command window from that folder and run this command fastboot flash-all
Is that correct?

In fact, on Windows I think you can just double click the flash-all.bat file (I'm on Linux, so I'm not 100% positive). Yes to your other questions. As long as nothing goes wrong.

Haha thanks again for all your help!! 7.1.1 installed and root is back!! This may be the last time I get to update my phone for a while lol
Tried looking through threads and have spent all day trying to fix it.
Phone was working fine a couple days ago until it ran out of battery. Since then nothing.
If I try to turn on normally I get stuck on the Google screen. Only other thing I can do is boot into fastboot/bootloader but from there, if I try Recovery mode it sticks in a bootloop
I think you have a hardbrick bootloop, There is fortunately a kernel and recovery developed by developers to overcome this problem, but you'll need a unlocked bootloader as it involves flashing recovery and boot.img. If you have boot loader unlocked, go to general section where you'll find a thread regarding the same. All the best
I tried that - flashed the recovery but when I try to launch recovery mode I just get a bootloop again.

How did you root your phone? Rooting the phone is as simple as flashing patched init_boot.img via fastboot flash init_boot. A lot of users here brick their phones because they patched and flashed the boot.img instead of the init_boot.img.
