[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Rodeojones:
I'm at my wit's end here. Tried unlocking many, many times last night using both the official adb/fastboot from Google as well as Minimal ADB. Communication between my phone and the computer/ADB is fine. But running the unlock command gets me an error followed by an immediate reboot.

I'm not one to usually unlock via toolkits, but I'm not sure what else to do. But, I just want to unlock - I don't want unlock_critical and I don't want the latest 8.1 installed (I'd rather wait for the official stable release). Can I simply just unlock the bootloader and leave it at that with your toolkit?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bryantjopplin:
Yes you can. I thought I replied. It has multiple options. Just choose the one with the images as the code is the same and it's a smaller download.

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

Also just to confirm this is a non Verizon pixel? Make sure developer options are enabled. Then choose USB debugging and oem unlock is checked/toggled. Then use my tool to install the adb and fastboot to reboot into bootloader via "adb reboot bootloader" command. Then use option 1 of the tool to fastboot flashing unlock
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Rodeojones:
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently downloading Pixel 2 XL Sauce V1.zip. This is the correct file? And yes, mine is the non Verizon version - purchased directly from Google. OEM unlocking is checked, as is USB Debugging. Like I said, I can easily communicate between my phone and the computer via adb/fastboot. ADB devices and fastboot devices both give me my phone's serial number. And adb reboot bootloader also works. This is why this process has been so frustrating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bryantjopplin:
That file has every image included to update to the 8.1 developer preview if you select it. It also have the option for unlocking and unlocking critical with adb and fastboot system wide with Google's adb driver as a dpinst.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Rodeojones:
Thanks again, but I've decided to return the phone. Just too many things that aren't right with it. The final straw being the not so rapid charging. 40 minutes to gain 7% with 5 hours to get to fully charged is unacceptable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dontbeweakvato:
In my overzealousness and overconfidence before I attempted to unlock the bootloader I got rid of my old ADB files I downloaded up-to-date platform tools and then went in to cmd But I forgot to reboot my PC. Which I must have shifted things around stuff here in there I guess. But instantly when I did the bootloader unlocked the first time like it's supposed to. LOL didn't reboot my pc
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] js042507:
Yeah, not sure why you can't unlock your phone, seeing that it's not the Verizon version. I used a pretty old adb/fastboot executables, like from early 2016. I ticked on oem unlock in developer settings and turned on adb debugging. Rebooted into fastboot via power on volume up....device was detected first time shot and entering 'fastboot flashing unlock' worked on the first try.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dontbeweakvato:
Yeah that's how it's always been for me. Pretty easy process to unlock the bootloader but using the new flashing unlock command. I've never in my life had problems unlocking. I do have a new PC so maybe that messed me up but still regardless it is a simple command.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:

Well bootloader is sorry
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
My sdk/platform tools files are the same ones I've used with my 6P since 11-2015, and unlocking the 2 XL bl worked on the first attempt.

my process:

pow button + vol down

open cmd prompt in platform tools folder

fastboot devices (recognized my device)

fastboot flashing unlock

use vol up to select UNLOCK MY BOOTLOADER

power, to confirm

erases everything,

restarts

profit
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] js042507:
Yes. It is volume down.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] plamenm:
Hello,

I have the same problem with my pixel 2.

This one is the second RMA and is just as same as the other one.

I can toggle OEM unlock in the developer options, but when I run fastboot flashing unlock it says

"FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed."

After that the OEM unlock toggle in the developer options becomes disabled and inactive.

USB debuging is enabled.

I've tried to check on the link provided, but it says file in not available.

I'll appreciate any help

The links from the quotes are not included, coz as a new user I'm not allowed.

yesterday i could watch 4k hdr 60 on YouTube but today i can only play 1080 hdr 60 . do you haven meet this question？:(:(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] christianfgs:
When YouTube first launched HDR on mobile, in tandem with a 4k 60fps, the playback was extremely choppy(frames would be dropped). I believe they pulled 4K 60FPS HDR for awhile and are just staying at 1080hdr for now.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] busawahk:
I concur. I have sent a complaint to YouTube and I believe many others have about 4k and even 2k being extremely choppy/ audio desync with HDR footage. 4k 60 is still perfectly fine though. I watched a few 4k 60fps vids to confirm today
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] kot5nik:
Is it possible to get 4k60 HDR back by installing previous version of YouTube app?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] christianfgs:
No, the 4k 60fps HDR option is controlled server-side.

It was unwatchable anyway.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] interesting:
Hello all,

I have a problem getting active sync working at the moment on my kaiser. I am running a server with Exchange 07 and IIS. There is one IP assigned and IIS is running off port 80 and 443 for the website it hosts.

When I sync with active sync it keeps failing. If I disable IIS and change the ports back to the defaults in Exchange it works without a problem.

Is there a way to make active sync on the device to connect to port 81 instead of 80?

Thanks

If you are heavy user of "OK Google" its time to rejoice! Note 8 can hear you even when the screen is off AND phone is not connected to charger. I just upgraded from S8+ and noticed this feature. I just wear an android wear watch to use OK Google as I love samsung phones but they never used to support this earlier Iike LG or Pixel/Nexus phones.

Now Bixby and Google together makes this a great phone for hands free usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I appreciate that it works but no pats on the back for Samsung for finally catching up.

Pity's they just recently broke Google assistant and it will no longer work with any media players anymore.

I loved how it worked with my Bluetooth helmet even while locked and I could ask it to play any song I wanted. Now it just tells me that I need to select a default music provider every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
When was this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] atunguyd:
In the last 2 weeks. The google support forums have plenty of topics with people complaining about it

Anyone having this issue? I don't really type that fast but apparently I'm going too fast for the phone because if I type my normal speed, it doesn't auto-correct obvious errors. I have to wait after each word.

using the stock keyboard? it was slow on my stylo 2 in the same way, so i switched to gboard.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cazcryy:
Same thing with my stock keyboard. One of the first things I do with a new phone is to replace the keybaord with gboard but I kinda like the LG keyboard so I've been sticking with it. Autocorrect is driving me nuts though...its not a lag but seems like a delay in kicking in. Surprised there's no mention of this at all from Google search as well.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You should be able to flash the 8.0.0 OTA and then I'd flash the latest security update. Flashfire should work fine if you're rooted
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krazy_Calvin:
The thing I am looking at says

"1. You'll need bootloader, radio and vendor images from latest Google OTA ( Current: OPR4.170623.006 )"

How do I get this? I already had it rooted and twrp installed.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linwe:
If you are already rooted I would recommend checking out this guide https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930. Scroll down to the section labeled "9. How To Update To A New Build Of The Stock ROM".

The stock nexus images can be downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/images.

After flashing you would have to root again using your preferred method. I haven't had any problems rooting with Magisk.

You'll have to reinstall twrp and any system mods you've previously installed when flashing this way though.

Went to the UPS Store to pick up my phone, shipped a day late but showed up quick.

Got home, opened the box, pulled out the bubble wrap, took out the Daydream View I ordered, and looked at an otherwise empty box.

Not even enough room for the phone in the box. Only one box shipped to me, only one shipment, just no phone. Now waiting for Google to call me back again with a solution from their refund team and find out how long I get to wait...

*sniff*
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
WOW! That bites. Mine should be here Thursday or Friday.

There'd better be a brand spankin new 2 XL in that package!

Sorry to hear that man!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
My wife ordered hers the same night.

Supposed to ship yesterday, still hasn't shipped.

Sounds bad... Looks like the second shipment batch has gone fast as well..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Archangel:
Better than mine,,,On Trac delivered my phone,,,just to the wrong address, so I had to go search my neighborhood until I found a house numbered like mine just missing a digit and there it was LOL. Of course, this was after three hours on the phone with On Trac and them swearing to me that the geo tracker for my package when it was left was at my address. Well if you look at where it was left and my house thats like half a mile away LOL,,,wow!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
And the plot thickens.

They called me back and cannot just ship me another one. They want to refund the Google financing and have me order another one which puts me at the back of the line. Said that they physically cannot just send me another one unless they send me the identical package with another Daydream View. I offered to send back the Daydream view I got and they said that that was perfectly fine but they cannot provide a shipping label for it. What kind of bat**** crazy stuff is this?

I am now going to be escalated so they said that the escalated people can't do anything more. Guess we'll see if I get a new phone this year or not.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
Can somebody that got theirs do me a favor? Measure the outside measurements of the pixel 2 XL box that it came in? The actual box with the phone not the box that the phone box shipped in. If that makes any sense.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
And now it gets even better. Nobody calls me back today so I can make a phone call on my way into work after getting rerouted three times to their escalation team I come to find out that I'm screwed.

First off they said that everything they see shows that the phone was in the box. In order for me to get satisfaction I get to know do the following.

Send an email back to them confirming that I am the official buyer of both items and that I did not receive the phone, only the Daydream View.

I also now get to go home tonight and take pictures of the box, fish the packing materials out of the trash and take pictures of that, take pictures of the Daydream View and packing materials in the Box, and pictures of all the outside labels.

After sending that in there's going to be a brief investigation into the phone and if it's found to actually be missing they will refund the Google financing charge. They will also refund my overnight shipping.

I then get to reorder my item and get right at the back of the line again.

The great part is the refund can take up to 14 business days they said.

On an even brighter note, my wife ordered hers a little later in the day then I ordered mine and it was supposed to ship two days ago. No shipping, no delay notification, and they still have not replied to her attempt at contact from yesterday. I love Google but what the hell's going on?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] imnuts:
The requested images are standard for shipping claims. They need pictures of everything to verify what it looks like. If I was missing something in the shipment, I would have kept everything together until it was resolved just based on past experiences.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
I'm not overly anxious either because I have my Nexus 6p and it's pretty much brand new after getting the battery replaced a few months ago. I'm just a little wound up because that's a lot of money to have sitting out there waiting for these guys to agree that it was missing from the box.

Besides, I'm looking at this kitchen table packed with accessories all waiting for something to put them on. Lol

Oh for sure, and I always do that. Anything I order I keep the box in the packing slips and such with it until I'm satisfied before breaking them down. My wife threw away the bubble wrap that was in there but it's on top of the garbage so it's not a big deal to get back out.

I'm only pissed about that because they should have asked for them last night or called me this morning as promised. Now there's another 12-hour delay for me to get the pictures and get them to them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
And now one of my best friends that followed me on the Nexus 6p train bought hers the same day.

Hers got delivered yesterday and the box is missing.

In one place FedEx says it was delivered at 1 and another place that says 3. It is saying it was delivered to the front door of her apartment building instead of the front door of her apartment.

Management for her apartment building said that FedEx did not come by that day.

SOUTHWEST PIXEL 2 XL CONSPIRACY!

Anyone else have their device come up missing or stolen?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BaumerS4:
My 2XL shipped Monday, but according to FedEx it's been on a truck out for delivery since Tuesday. Contacted both FedEx and Google and basically have no idea when I will see my phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrBrady:
Wonder if it's a system wide theft issue. I ordered myself a Pixel 2 XL and my wife a Pixel 2 on Saturday, Nov. 11. Both were marked as shipped the following Monday. Hers arrived Wednesday, but mine never made it past the "Label Created" status with FedEx. Google's Order Status said it was delivered, but the FedEx tracking said otherwise.

The best part is, my credit card was charged when the shipping label was created, but the device never shipped. This clearly goes against Google's policy about not charging the customer until the order actually ships.

Had NUMEROUS (6+) chats and emails with Google Support, each time them telling me a different story. From "take my word, you'll receive it today" to "ignore the tracking, we're expediting all XL orders and you'll receive it tomorrow" to "the tracking number is still valid, give it a couple days" to "the XLs are in high demand and your order is now delayed" and then "It's something with FedEx's system - you should contact them".

I then demanded a factual update otherwise I would dispute the charge on my credit card, since it already was charged. The latest story is "It seems that the device is lost in between the order shipment process. Don't worry, I have requested that your replacement device be sent out right away. " Yeah, uhm "LOST". Aka stolen.

That last update was as of Tuesday morning (11/21) and a new device has not shipped yet. Bummer because with Thanksgiving, I"m sure that will cause additional delays. Plus, who knows what promos Google is doing for Black Friday.

TL;DR Google Support doesn't know WTF is going on and I'm still waiting for my Pixel 2 XL 1+ week after ordering it and them saying it was delivered.

P.S. The order was coming from their Monrovia, CA center. Doubt it's the same for New Mexico, but it's possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrBrady:
Update on my situation. Finally got a new update from Google: "Sorry to hear about your lost or stolen Pixel 2 XL (128 GB, Just Black). We went ahead and sent you a replacement device, It was shipped on November 22, 2017 via FX2."

I guess FX2 is FedEx 2 Day. Today is only Wednesday, but unfortunately due to the holidays and weekend it won't arrive until Monday night. They processed this as an RMA, but have assured it's a new unit being sent, not a refurbished one.

Fingers crossed everything goes smooth from this point forward!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TokyoGuy:
I'm not sure why you feel the need to say this, or why you feel this way to begin with. You clearly have a massive customer service problem on your hands due to Google's mismanagement and mishandling of your claim. What exactly would be necessary to make you start to dislike or be unhappy with a massive corporation that doesn't care about you beyond taking your money and Metadata and profiting from it?

I'd be mad as hell if I was experiencing the level of incompetence you have received.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
My heart stopped beating for a day after I found out that FedEx delivered my XL 2 to the wrong house. They managed to recover it and return it to me though. If that package was delivered to a less than honest person, I would have never seen that phone. I'm sure Google or FedEx would have made it right eventually, but I'm glad it didn't come to that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] KevTN:
I thought you had to sign for the package...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TokyoGuy:
I remember a problem like this ages ago where some new UPS driver had dropped off my package at the house across the street. And of course the neighbors were on vacation so after seeing it there for hours on end and UPS swearing it had delivered it to the correct address, I went over and sure enough it was mine.

With respect to the signature issue, as my package years ago also had required one, I had signature waiver on file because I was tied of missing packages if no one could get to the door in time/wasn't home.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrBrady:
Google shipped both mine via FedEx with no signature required.

Still waiting for my XL. Should be here tomorrow, but it's saying it departed Oakland on Friday, which worries me a bit since that's only 40 miles away.

Hopefully this one doesn't get "lost" too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TokyoGuy:
Sometimes there are absolutely idiotic logistical "necessities" that defy common sense. It's possible the package has to be shipped to some major FedEx hub in another state entirely only for it to come back to where you are.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrBrady:
Exactly! Happened to another shipment that's coming in tomorrow. Origin: Southern California. Destination: Northern California. If shipped USPS it would take 1 day. Shipping it FedEx 2 day caused it to go to Memphis, TN first and because of the holiday weekend took and extra two days transit. Totally inefficient!
