so guys this is my first purchase of a google device and i didn't know that Verizon phones bootloader are locked and they can't be unlocked. i bought the device when i was travelling and i live in Jordan so there's no stores here or dealers that sell the pixel.
well anybody come up with a solution to unlock a Verizon pixel 3 bootloader?
:crying:

Hey guys so the EE UK Pixel/Pixel XL are sim locked. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7107188?hl=en-GB
Anyone able to unlock them now we have bootloader unlock.
+1, thinking about trading my S7 for one but i want to unlock it otherwise it will have no value.
I'm from New Jersey, USA. I used Verizon all my life so I'm used to locked bootloaders. I'd like to finally experience not having to deal with that anymore. I'm buying it used. Do ATT, TMO block there bootloaders? I'm hoping to run PureNexus. Any advice would be much appreciated.

There are only 2 types of pixels xls AFAIK. One that was sold by verizon that has the locked bootloader and one that was sold through google that didnt have a locked bootloader. Verizon is the only carrier that sold the phone in stores in the US.

i can only confirm for the US Google Pixel XL. I dont know if there is more out there for different countries but for the US it the same device just one had its bootloader locked.
According to GSM arena there was 2 versions. Global (sold through google store) and USA/NA (sold through Verizon stores).

Hi,
thank you.
I found one finally and ordered it.
I think it is ok, it is from a major German supermarket.

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a Pixel and I'm wondering if it's possible to unlock the bootloader and root an international model. I want to be able to do these things so just looking to verify that they're possible before I buy an international model. Anyone done it? Haven't had any luck when searching. Thanks for any help.

Google store is BL unlockable, Verizon is not since they're annoying like that
Thanks, I'm definitely staying away from the Verizon ones for that reason but what I'm asking about is the international model. It's a different model number and has different bands but I'm wondering if it's still BL unlockable like the Google Play version.
Yes, I'm running the international model unlocked and rooted.
Tbh I think the international and Google edition are the same. Been searching for a while, can't find anything to indicate they aren't.
It seems in the USA, to differentiate between carrier locked and unlocked phones sold directly by Google, as well as marketing and branding purposes, Google simply calls the unlocked edition in the USA Google edition instead. The international edition already ships unlocked.
They're the same otherwise for all intents and purposes.

Ask the seller if they can toggle OEM unlocking in developer options.
