Google Pixel XL 7.1.1 January 2017 frp lock....help! - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Received the set from friend, seeking for help on 7.1.1 january 2017 frp unlock. tried all the way on google but stuck at the stage that cannot disabled google account manager 7.1.1 (com.google.android.gsf..login). Think google had disabled this on latest update? Anyway to unlock it or downgrade to 7.1?
Set is bootloader LOCKED. I can't even enable the USB Debug to unlock it.

Simple answer is: no.
Since you received it from a friend, ask him to login on the phone and remove his Google account. Problem solved... :good:
Good luck...

Yes, you need them to remove it first. Pretty easy when you know the person, very hard when you buy a phone from a third party.

yes you need to flash a zip that enables adb then you can run the adb commands while the phone is on the setup screen

That method only works on Samsung phones, it requires flashing a engineering boot.img which will in turn enable USB Debugging, allowing you to run the necessary adb commands. Only some Samsung phones have a engineering boot.img to flash.
The other is booting into Maintenance Boot Mode (not all Samsung phones have it) and turning on USB Debugging, and again, running the proper adb commands once booted.
-----------------
When the dirtycow exploit was patched with the December 2016 security update, removing FRP from a Pixel/XL became impossible, at least for the time being.
At the end of the day, just get your friend to login to the phone again, and FRP will be removed. :good:

Trying to unlock Google Pixel XL

I have installed the adb drivers and it recognized my device and installed drivers. I have enabled debugging. I use the commands for dpixel8. adb push dePixel8 /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/dePixel8
adb shell /data/local/tmp/dePixel8
It reboots the device but does not reboot into bootloader as it is suppose to. It just reboots into normal mode. Any suggestions. Please give me a step by step on how to unlock and root my phone. Thanks
You have to tick that OEM unlock thing under Dev settings where you enabled debugging. And the command to reboot in bootloader is adb reboot bootloader!
PS: Sorry never mind.

No he does not. He clearly just stated he's using depixel8 which means he's on a vzw pixel. Which means no switching on OEM unlock. Hence using depixel8.
Have you tried doing it a second time.
I take it you're not on 7.1.1 though?

depixel8 can not unlock the bootloader of a Verizon Pixel once 7.1.1 is flashed onto it, either at the factory or by the update.
Downgrading to 7.1 will not restore the bootloader to the one that depixel8 can exploit.

At this moment in time, nothing can unlock the bootloader of a Verizon sold Pixel once 7.1.1 is flashed onto it.
If there was, or will be, you can bet that there will be a thread on XDA about it.

Android Toolkit updated my phone to 7.1.1...Am I boned?

So, I was installing ADB and such with android toolkit, It rebooted my phone into FASTBOOT in order to check the status of bootloader. Got the info I needed, then the phone rebooted, I went to download depixel8 and get ready to unlock and start the root shenanigans...and boom. The phone installs the NMF26U update without me even telling it to/letting it. Am I completely screwed on here as far as now being able to root and unlock my phone?

The toolkit updated your phone, or your phone took an ota? The toolkit should not have been able to update if you weren't already unlocked. Unless there's something I'm missing here..

The OTA update notification was there, but I've been avoiding and ignoring it. When ADB/Toolkit rebooted my phone to check the status of the bootloader all was good, the second my phone rebooted from all that the notification bar showed that it was finishing the update. Went into the settings window to check the build version and it is now showing 7.1.1 and NMF26U. I'm without a solid hotspot work around now since foxfi is dead and I'm too lazy to pull my phone case constantly to remove and replace the sim heh. Just wondering what toolkit triggered to allow and instigate the update install

I'm pretty sure the ota automatically downloads, when the toolkit rebooted the device it finished the install. If your device is Verizon then yes I think you're boned.

Isn't the old system partition updated in the background then after the update is complete? Even if it isn't, the radio and bootloader are still updated.

Nope, they aren't updated until a new update comes. Also there are two slots for radio and bootloader just like everything else so in theory if he could use fastboot he could switch boot slots.

Is there a way to update without locking the bootloader?

I unlocked the bootloader on my Pixel 2 XL and rooted, while being on security patch May 2018, I'm wanting to update to July 2018's security patch but don't want to risk locking the bootloader.
It's a Verizon phone.
Anyone know if I can go about it and how exactly? Really nervous and don't really like my device without being rooted.
Any help is appreciated

You won't lock the bootloader unless you manually enter the commands in fastboot.
You can update to July by either: fastbooting the factory image with the -w removed to preserve data. Flashing the OTA.zip in twrp. Or side load the OTA :good:

My device is a Verizon phone, I was in luck when getting the phone for it being on an older security update just really worried that I will lock it if I try to update it.
Are you 100% sure this won't do so?
Is this guide fine to follow: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-install-google-software-t3760535
or do I need to leave anything out while doing it? I thought I'd need to leave the bootloader-taimen-tmz12g-.img out or something to prevent it.
Apologizes if I sound dumb, I'm new to all this and only recently moved from Samsung to Pixel so I appreciate the help.

You made no mention that it was a Verizon phone in your post. Therefore, I'm not sure now. Have you run the IMEI checker to see if it's truly a Verizon phone.

I've read that the only way to lock the bootloader once its unlocked is to manually do so via the commands, this should be the same regardless of if being Verizon I would assume but not sure and don't want to go through with updating without knowing.

It will not relock. I am 100 percent sure. There are several reasons it wont. One is that relock will wipe your data, can you imagine the lawsuits if Google and Verizon send an update that they knew would wipe your data.
The second reason is that it is technologically impossible. You are thinking of when a VZ update breaks root o other phones. This phone is way different. It won't happen.
Relax, update.
You will lose root when you update. Easy enough to restore though.

Downgrade from Pie to Oreo, locked bootloader?

Verizon phone, hate my life.
Haven't upgraded yet but worried my stuff will stop working, and I'll be stuck. Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, I searched.
Alternative solution anyone want to trade for your unlocked phone? :crying:
Google has implemented a rollback prevention system on their devices. You cannot install an earlier version of Android over a later one. Attempting to do so generates an error message and the device will not boot. I believe this applies regardless of the lock status of the bootloader, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in.
Sell your device on Swappa. Then purchase an unlocked model off Swappa, if available. No sane person is going to trade their unlockable device for your Verizon model.
if you unlock the bootloader, and wipe the device, you can downgrade to any version that google has published for the device.
If you do NOT unlock the bootloader, it is not possible.

Which is why I gave your post a thumbs up. Rollback protection then is similar to Factory Reset Protection in this regard. So long as OEM Unlocking is enabled in developer options and the bootloader unlocked, neither will kick in.

Once I do this, I presume I can then relock the bootloader...?
I am finding that I prefer Oreo over Pie and my Pixel 2 XL has to be restarted more regularly than when I was on Oreo. Sigh....
I'm happy having a non-rooted device as my biggest peeve is the ads, so use DNS66 to block ads successfully.
Plus, I want to be able to use Google Pay and (Barclays) banking apps. Barclays mobile app doesn't show up in USA Google Play Store but does once you install it from APK. (Had a UK friend send me the APK. Seriously banks, do you think only folks from your country have accounts? ?).
Over the years I have frequently rooted from the get-go but am enjoying being able to update OTA and have Google Pay work seamlessly.
Most apps I use that are beneficial use the ADB Write Settings commands now which accomplish what rooted device did. Wish Titanium Backup could do this with ADB Write command.
Thanks for any help.

Assuming you have a Pixel 2 XL, which the bootloader is unlockable:
1. BACKUP. Save anything you deem important, as your device will be erased.
1a. Be sure you have the latest adb/fastboot installed/working, available from: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. Enable developer options. Settings > System > About then tap on build number 7 times, follow prompts.
3. Settings > System > Advanced > either enable or make sure that 'OEM unlocking' is enabled.
4. Download (the version you wish to install) and follow ALL instructions from: https://developers.google.com/android/images ***this includes performing BOTH fastboot flasshing unlock AND fastboot flashing unlock_critical***
Thats all there is to it.
After doing above, re-enable developer options and again make sure to re-enable OEM unlocking. Be sure to do this BEFORE re-locking the bootloader.
If you wish to re-lock the bootloader, be 100% certain that you are completely stock ROM. There have been issues (sometimes catastrophic) when re-locking the bootloader when the device is not 100% stock.
Worth mentioning to him if he's on Verizon, it isn't gonna work.
Upgraded anyway. Handful of issues but not enough to regret it. I do regret buying through Verizon though...

Hopefully the ADB Fastboot file from Android Developer I can unzip and copy the updated contents to 15 Second ADB as their batch file installs system wide which is so helpful.

Pixel 3 XL with Pixel 3 Firmware?

Hey guys, I have a Pixel 3 XL that I am trying to repair because it's touchscreen doesn't work, however while doing the repair I found that it does not have the correct firmware and I cannot install the correct one. When in fastboot mode, it shows the product revision as "crosshatch MP1.0(ROW)" however when I go to recovery, at the top it says: "google/blueline/blueline" . I can only flash Pixel 3(blueline) firmware to it through adb sideload since the bootloader is locked. When I try to flash crosshatch firmware through adb sideload it makes it about 50% before failing due to inaccurate signature. Does anyone know how I can correctly return it's firmware to crosshatch. The touchscreen doesn't work due to I assume it having the wrong firmware. Any help is appreciated thanks .
Try unlocking bootloader first and clean up everything that is data and system and reboot back to bootloader and use flash-all script from the rim downloaded and let us know what happened.

Unfortunately I have no way to unlock the bootloader since the touchscreen doesn't work. I've been flashing through adb sideload as flash-all wasn't available to me due to the locked bootloader.

Just a question why do you need a functioning digitizer to access or interact with the bootloader? Volume buttons are used to cycle through options and the power button confirms the highlighted option in both low level modes.

Just out of curiosity where did you get this device?

I work at a tech repair site that buys phones and sells them online refurbished. I do software repair there and came across this phone while working there and it has me stumped. I think it might just be bad.

Well if there is any chance you go flash the bootloader separately via fastboot try that. If that is successful then maybe the flash-all script could work
May be power off phone and hold volume down and connect to PC with cable and it should directly go to bootloader, make sure to download Google Android tools before hand and cmd to that folder and then u can unlock bootloader, let us know.
