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.
Hi,

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.

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:

Hi all. I bought pixel 3 from some1 who bought it in theory from Spain. I received phone ( as new ) , everything works etc but when I check disabled apps. I have Verizon and sprint apps ( see pic ) . Is it normal in pixel 3 XL unlocked versions ?
I can unlock bootloader what is impossible on Verizon versions, hotspot works, I use T-Mobile. But I am still curious what the hell is going on ?
Planning to buy Pixel 3 XL from ebay but want to know if the bootload can be unlocked before buying or which Sprint Pixel model version should i buy that can be rooted with Magisk?
Ask the seller if they can toggle OEM unlocking in developer options.
anyone with an unlocked pixel 6 pro from amazon can tell me their build number?
