Hi,
I recently good a good deal on a Verizon pixel XL and to my pleasant surprise it is still on 7.1 and I don't think it's ever been updated. I've read that in this case I can still go ahead and unlock the bootloader which essentially means that my phone is as good as the Google edition. So could someone please point me to some guide or list the steps on how I can go ahead and achieve this.
Thanks in advance!

Forgive the late response/question but I have read several conflicting statement regarding Verizon and it's version of android being bootloader unlockable...My understanding is that android 7.0 is unlockable. I have read that 7.1 is unlockable in some places and not unlockable in others. Version 7.1.2 is absolutely NOT unlockable.
So, Is version 7.1 (don't know if that's the same as 7.1.0 or 7.1.1 or however it might read) unlockable with the depixel8 work around?
Looking at buying a pixel 1 XL still on 7.1 so I don't know if I should go for it or not....
Thanks!

Yes 7.1 is unlockable while anything past 7.1 isn't.

I have a dual sim reteu with locked bootloader. After upgrading to 7.1.1, my hotspot is not working.
Actually, I didn't check hotspot before 7.1.1.
Anyone with the same problem. Or Anybody knows how to fix it? Thanks
You installed beta software, with that comes the risk of losing certain features. Android 7.1.1 hasn't been released officially by Motorola.

Sorry if I changed the subject, I'm still on android 6.0.1 (retla). You mean the OTAs that have posted are soak test? If so, I prefer to keep trying to get the official OTA. But I have the doubt, you mean 7.1.1, maybe the 7.0 that is in the forum if it is stable? If so, you can pass the official OTA link of 7.0. Thanks for your help
Strongly considering this device to replace my Moto x Play.
Has to be rootable and be able to use magisk manager to enable Android pay.
Anyone have success with this? On any version?

Thanks for the reply. Do we know if anyone is actively working on the issue?
Not that I'm aware of. I just purchased this phone from Freedom Mobile and found out myself. I've tried to contact Sony on there forums and twitter to try to find out why only the canadian versions of the g3223 are bootloader locked, but haven't heard anything yet. There is however a working unlock for the other versions as well as a slimmed down rom, root, and twrp. Hopefully they will unlock it with the Oreo update or release a patch, but I'm not holding my breathe atm.
Hi:
I just brought a new factory unlocked Pixel XL on ebay that I plan to use on Verizon. I am upgrading from a Galaxy Note 4 that is running CM13. The Pixel is coming with Android 7.1. Since I know that a lot of you are Car Talk fans, I will answer their most common question - The phone is 'Very Silver'. My question to you all is what should I do with the phone? Should I stay on Nougat or upgrade to Oreo? Do I even have a choice if I stay with the stock ROM? Should I flash a different ROM? If so, which do you recommend?
Thanks for your help!

First before you update any system, I would recommend going into developer settings and see if you can select OEM Unlocking if it isn't already and also unlock your bootloader. Remember to have debug mode selected as well. After you unlock your bootloader then boot up phone and update. I

There is an update waiting to go at least to 8.0.0, most likely 8.1.0, waiting for you when you activate it.

By all means, unlock the bootloader first, if you can :good:
Thanks for all your advice. The phone came today and unfortunately it is the wrong phone. He sent a Pixel rather than an Pixel XL - too small for my big hands. I will order another XL and will be in contact when I get it. I would still like advice on ROMS.
Thanks again!
First is to make sure you werent scammed with the seller selling a **** Verizon model off as a Play version, the Version models have a lovely Verizon rootkit that prevents you from unlocking the bootloader and other than running the command below there is no way to tell the difference:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid
if it returns anything with VWZ try to return it ASAP as it is 100% useless for rooting
Hi,
I read different information regarding the Pie update of European models. I heard that that it is cancelled in US except of Verizon. But how does it look like with unlocked EU phones? Will we get the update or not? Does anybody know.
The promise to get Pie update was one of the reasons why I bought the phone. Now I feel tricked if we won't get it (and I assume it is the case).
I could get an unofficial update but then I'll loose Google Pay, my bank applications will not work anymore etc. Unlocking the bootloader is not an option for me.
But unlocking bootloader is the only one option for ATT users.

Yes, you can root on A13. There are several guides in the forum with instructions. Just click on the "How to Guides" tab in the Quick Filters at the top of the main Pixel 6 Pro forum page.

No one can predict if you will have any problems, but to ensure you don't, after you unlock the bootloader then next do this:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader --slot all bootloader.img
Substitute the name of your bootloader file (NOT boot.img) instead of "bootloader.img". Get the bootloader.img from inside the inner zip file that's in the latest Android 13 Stable (full) Factory Image from:
Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers
developers.google.com
Once you do that you'll be as safe as we should be. You only have to do that once, not every time you update your phone. You can do it every time if you choose to, but there's no reason to.
Latest SDK Platform Tools and Google USB Driver required.
Thanks! I'll try...
I also bought a phone from Japan while I live in Indo. Google lock indo 5G. I mean can we unlock that bro?

There is no difference in rooting A12 and A13. Just make sure you have, at the minimum, the A13 bootloader flashed to both slots. Information is in the guides on how to do that if you don't know.

All the how to original posts are updated frequently and give the best options for root. However, you seem nervous to follow them, part of the responsibility of having a rooted phone is being able to follow what are straight forward (if assuming of non novice status of the reader) steps.
An additional new topic would be redundant
I would recommend to anyone who wants a pain free experience rooting android 13 to use flashtool and download the factory image. Fastboot boot the patched boot image, direct install.
