I think they will still honor warranty for hardware issues. Just because you are rooted and the hardware fails, doesn't make it your fault. About the only way you could permanently brick one of these devices is with a bad bootloader flash. Even then, there are two bootloaders and it may even be recoverable. I've never seen anyone root a device to it's death, especially a Nexus/pixel.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
I though they had made this clear already, the phones direct from google will be unlocked/dev friendly.

Man, Verizon can go suck a nut.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Genetic517:
Agreed. Do we know how long Verizon will have exclusivity on the "kinda blue" color?

I hope the Verizon version from the Google store ends up being bootloader unlockable. All I want is a kinda blue pixel 2 with a unlocked/unlockable bootloader.... Damn you, Verizon. :(

My friend told me that he could install OTA updates on his rooted Pixel 1. How is that possible? Will that be possible on the P2? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mjondj:
if its coming with an unlocked bootloader, does that mean that at any time in the future, a custom recovery and root can be flashed without wiping the device?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaybird779:
The bootloader isn't unlocked when you purchase it. You still have to unlock it and have to wipe it. It is CARRIER UNLOCKED with the ability to unlock the bootloader when you purchase it.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] foosion:
I'd imagine booting with an unlocked bootloader gets you a message about the phone being insecure.

I wonder how long it will take TWRP to produce a version for the P2, so that we can root (I know - it will be ready when it's ready).
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] b00ster23:
Android O already has a root method.

https://xdaforums.com/pixel/how-to/guide-root-android-o-dev-preview-1-pixel-t3591548

I'm assuming the process will be similar. But only speculation on my part. For me, I'm waiting for the Verizon model to be exploited. I'd like to see if putting in another carrier SIM will allow Bootloader Unlock.

<patiently waiting here>
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] foosion:
which requires TWRP, which does not yet exist for the Pixel 2.

At this point I don't trust SuperSU and prefer Magisk.

Why? Because a Chinese company wrote a check?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] foosion:
Because chainfire no longer appears to be in control, the new company doesn't have the credibility that comes with his track record and I'd rather have an open source root program.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluh5d:
I am in possession of a Pixel 2. I have unlocked the bootloader. Those people who had a Verizon variant of the Pixel were very very lucky to be able to have an unlocked bootloader. The only reason it was possible is when they first released them google somehow or another had released them with something that had already been cracked. If you updated the OTA before doing the exploit. Well since then there hasn't been a public exploit that I know of.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] b00ster23:
Perhaps I should state this differently. I'm not waiting for an exploit, more than I'm waiting for a work-around on unlocking the bootloader. I've not done the research so don't lamb baste me quite yet....but heard that putting in another non-VZW sim card may give access to the ADB command to OEM-unlock... Again, was only joining in, in an effort to offer a possible alternative path to devs and XDA members to try and consider for an "exploit". I'm well aware of the locked bootloader and expoit while on 7.1. I'm also aware of the difference between carrier unlock and bootloader unlock. :)

Just Christmas wishing at this point....
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mva5580:
I guess I'm just not sure why people talk about hoping for the Verizon version to be unlocked when there is a version sold straight from Google that you KNOW is fully unlocked.

You can finance from Google the same way you finance from Verizon. I don't get the problem.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Dark Knight Patriot:
I guess my greatest concern is how will unlocking the boot loader affect the security of this device?

One of my previous devices went into a boot loop last spring, and it seems that if I had unlocked the boot loader prior to all of it occurring that I would have stood a decent chance of recovering my data more easily. Thus, I'm interested in unlocking the boot loader on my Pixel 2, especially so I can create a full system backup. My concern is simply whether this will in anyway introduce a vulnerability into an otherwise encrypted Pixel 2?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] defconoi:

Yes.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] eturk01:
Try Magisk for root. Android pay worked on my Nexus 6P with it
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] D1l777:
So I ordered the Verizon version from the play store. It seems now that I need to cancel that order and reorder the non Verizon version to be able to unlock and root right? Can I still pop my Verizon sim in and be good to go? I don't want a phone I can't unlock and root.

Edit:

Just cancelled my order for the Verizon version and reordered the unlocked version. This also moved my shipping date up a month which is great. I am getting a little nervous over the clicking noise a lot seem to be hearing. I guess I've got 10 days to see what others say before mine ships.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
hi all, thinking about getting the Pixel 2 (coming from Motorola Droid Turbo - still going strong).

I read through this thread, and would like to be clear on root. I'm not really interested in unlocking the bootloader, as I'm getting the updates from Google, but I really only want root.

Is this device rootable yet? If I want to install Xposed & Gravity Box, would I need to unlock the bootloader first?

I saw this online, but I'm guessing it was already known around here: https://www.thenerdmag.com/unlock-google-pixel-2-bootloader-root/

my carrier is Verizon, so I presume that if I order one from them, I should take out the SIM card before turning it on for the first time?

thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] FSRBIKER:
The ONLY way you can unlock your bootloader and use it on Verizon is to buy the UNLOCKED(Not Verizon version) from Google. Then just pop in your Verizon SIM card.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
how about root? has that been established yet without unlocking the bootloader?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] FSRBIKER:
I haven't heard of anyone with root on the Pixel 2 yet, that will come but not sure for Verizon versions.

I have my phone from EE UK, it is SIM locked for 6 month's.in Dev options there is information that I can not unlock bootloader as it is locked by network carrier does that mean I have to wait 6 month's before I can get root?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
thanks for the replies....

if someone that got theirs from VZW or the Verizon version from Google, see if you can boot it up WITHOUT the SIM card, and then follow the steps here: https://www.thenerdmag.com/unlock-google-pixel-2-bootloader-root/ (use at your own risk though)

I may try myself if the price drops for black friday - if not, I can always return it the next day.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Click bait. Don't do it.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
why are you saying that? unless you were just kidding...

it's the exact same steps mentioned here: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2/how-to/unlocking-bootloader-google-pixel-2-t3692480

only difference is that I was citing the source from where I first found it.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Just kidding around. But I think by the time black Friday rolls around you'll know for sure that booting a vzw model without a sim will not allow you to unlock. There's a $35 return fee if you do that too.

But what about the Google bought Verizon model? Can anyone unlock the bl on that?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Michael_:
My wife's white Google bought Verizon model is out for delivery now, I'll update y'all after I try tonight. I'm expecting the worst, but hoping for the best. :eek:

My plan of attack is to yank the SIM, boot it up, selecting project fi as my carrier, and see what gives.

P.S. - surprised no one has shared their results yet, I'd have though there'd be a few "Google purchased Verizon sim enabled" models in the wild by now.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
I'd wager that you can unlock it whether or not you not boot with the sim. Wishful thinking perhaps. But why buy the Google VZW model if you're using it on Fi? Looking forward to your report.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Michael_:
My wife placed our order as I was at work. She though we needed the Verizon ones for it to work on Verizon. Simple mistake for someone who didn't know. I won't be using them on Fi, but rather Verizon. I'm already prepared to send em back and get unlocked models.

I'm hoping you are right, as I'm not looking forward to a return and reorder with an arrival of around Thanksgiving lol.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
We'll see tonight but if you're going to return it you might want to wait for black Friday deals. Only a month away. Only problem with that is the deals might only be on the Verizon model. So if this Pixel 2 is bl locked maybe you can play with it for a week or so before you return it. I think you have 15 days or something like that with no penalty. Maybe it's 7 I forgot. Point being you might be able to live with a locked bl and then buy it from Verizon on a bf deal.

I did that with the Pixel. I bought it on day one from Google and when I got it I just didn't feel it was worth the price of $649 and returned it. I stayed with my 5x then. I always had the option to unlock the 5x but kept it locked due to Android Pay and my banking app. But they had a deal on Verizon Pixel for BF of $10 / month for 24 months no trade in. I jumped on it and still have it naturally. But I can't pay it off, I have to keep it for 2 years since I get a $17 / month credit on my bill. Pay off price is still $649. Here's the kicker.. my Pixel was before the update that closed the depixel8 unlocking method. But I chose to keep it locked and updated. I haven't looked back. I'm going to do the same thing this year if it's offered and give this flawless Pixel to the Mrs. and retire her S5. Wow that thing is a dog. But she loves it and I'm sure will like this Pixel.

Good luck!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
ah, we really need a sarcasm font...

anyhow, according to VZW's website, if you order online, there is no restocking fee. my understanding was that there was only a re-stocking fee when bought online (when compared to purchased at a store).

but this could change come black friday.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Michael_:
Well, here you have it folks.. Google play store "Verizon sim enabled" model. Not bootloader unlockable. As expected.

Tried with the SIM out, tried after a factory reset. Etc Etc. No dice.

Today I will receive replacement from EE as my unit had some problems with auto brightness (sensor wasn't working sometimes), if I boot it without sim and skip wifi setup will I be able to tick remove oem lock and unlock bootloader? As previous one had it greyed out, but I have booted it with ee card and did full setup first.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] cntryby429:
I bought a Google store (non vzw) pixel and first booted it without a sim. The oem lock button was greyed out until I connected to wifi. I suspect that connecting to internet allows for a check of Cid or meid out some other identifier against a database to determine if the button should be enabled.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joloxx9:
Well, it is very possible it works like you say and I will not be able to unlock it...
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
As mentioned if you get it from VZ it will be bootloader locked and no, the SIM card has nothing to do with it. It will most probably be locked forever.

On the Pixels you have to unlock the bootloader to root it. Recovery and boot images are mixed together so it must be booted to a custom recovery, then SU handles it all from there during the install.

Currently there is no TWRP for the 2's so it is not rootable. I am sure that will be fixed soon.

To update you will have to do it manually. It isnt hard bit that is the way it is.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] froniu:
Guys quick question here, but tricky one...

I've got my GP2 from ee in UK.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joloxx9:
Yes you should be able to do that. Could you please tell me, what did you say to them so they agreed to do that? And have you spoken with them on live chat/phone/shop? Thanks.

How can I install Magisk

When I try to flash the magisk zip it terminates with Error 1.

:(
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] nysascape:
Redownload it. Error code 1 is for corrupted zip files; I found this out when I "moved" Magisk from my internal storage to my SD Card through TWRP's file manager, and it ended up being 1kb in size (just to let you know if you used TWRPs file manager:))
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] pusansen99:
No its something related to the boot.img
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] nysascape:
What happens when you flash it? Either:

A) Magisk appears, does it's stuff, then says error one. No red text.

B) Instantly/a second after swiping to flash, you get red text along the lines of "failed to flash /etc/magisk.zip: error 1".
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] pusansen99:
B

It also says boot.img is already patched...

Have you attempted to install an older version of Facebook. Maybe it's the Apk itself and not your phone. A recent update probably caused a bug.

Here is what I recommend

Uninstall your current Facebook app

Download and install this version of Facebook

If not then try to download the latest beta.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] s2kdriver80:
I have the Note 5 and the Note 8, both T-Mobile branded. I haven't tested the wifi yet, but as far as cellular reception/speed goes, the 2-year old Note 5 seems to consistently outperform the Note 8, and in some cases, crushes the newer model. I felt the Note 8 was slower, but I was able to confirm objectively looking at the consistent numbers generated by the speedtest app.

Is the Note 8 cellular reception known to be below average or was the Note 5 a stellar performer? Or is it likely that I have a Note 8 that's an underperforming dud?

Should I bring the Note 8 to a T-Mobile store and have one of the associates run the speedtest app simultaneously with another one of their Note 8s that are on display (with T-Mobile SIMs in both)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
My Note 8 running the speed test app is faster than my rooted Nexus 6 and my S8+. I'd take it to a T-Mobile store and see what they have to say. The Nexus 6 runs around 50Mbps, the S8+ runs around 60Mbps and the Note 8 hits 80Mbps all at the same exact spot.
