You'll want the critical as well due to Google updating the bootloader. You will most always want the newest bootloader due to changes in how newer systems will boot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] weaver11b:
If I have already unlocked my bootloader and I run this fastboot flashing unlock_critical command does it also wipe data like the unlocking of the bootloader does? I think I read somewhere that it does, just wanna be sure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vanydotk:
Yes, unlock_critical will wipe your device
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] weaver11b:
Ugh...thanks. will wait for a free evening then.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pahlerc1:
so i need to relock the bootloader, sending back to Google for an RMA...

Fastboot flashing lock

fastboot flashing lock_critical

do these two commands seem correct?

thanks for the help
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danon.brown:
The critical should supercede the other. Both can't hurt. It may say it's already locked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pahlerc1:
so would you say you do it in this order? sorry two unlock commands is new to me and what to get it in the mail ASAP!!

obviously going to "fastboot format userdata" first... then this order?

fastboot flashing lock_critical

Fastboot flashing lock
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danon.brown:
Yes
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TEFjLONjDON:
Let's assume I was going to do an RMA. Would I have to run fastboot format_data for the phone to wipe it's self?

What I'm truly after here is; Whether or not I can run "Fastboot lock_critical" and not accidentally wipe my phone in the process unintentaily.

It would be awesome to know if running fastboot lock-critical will break (Magisk) root? Id rather not leave things unlocked if I don't have to.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danon.brown:
I just did mine. You need to do both commands.

"FAILED (command write failed (No error))" SOLVED!

Man, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!!

It worked! :D:D:D:D:D

I couldn't unlock the bootloader, because of the "FAILED (command write failed (No error))" error, so, I've just tried your tool and it worked!!!

N.B. I've tried many times using my mom's Nexus 5X's USB-C to USB-A cable, as you suggested, and it was not working, but, unexpectedly, it only worked using the USB-C to USB-C cable from my Pixel 2 XL box :confused:

Thank you again! The nightmare is over! :D:D:D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mac_7:
this is not solved for me

I received a pixel2xl from google in germany with an locked bootloader

oem unlock menu is greyed out

and flashing failed

I contacted google support and they still investigate (weekend)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bryantjopplin:
Yeah if the oem unlock is greyed out you won't be able to do anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Voight Kampff:
Still seeing issues with unlocking

The problem that I am seeing on a 2XL (sold by Google, used on Project Fi) is that Device State in the boot loader will not change from "locked" no matter what cable or command is tried. OEM unlocking is also enabled in the Developer Options.

However "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" reports that the device has been unlocked.

$ fastboot flashing unlock_critical
...
OKAY [ 9.184s]
finished. total time: 9.184s

$ fastboot flashing unlock_critical
...
FAILED (remote:	Device already : unlocked!)
finished. total time: 0.000s

The latest adb and fastboot have been installed to this macos 10.12.6 system.

Not sure what to do at this point but to see if I can dig up an old system with older USB ports, put linux on it, and give that shot. Can someone confirm that this *must* be done with a USB-A cable connected to a USB 2.0 port on one end and a USB-C interface connected to the 2XL on the other end?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mac_7:
my problem was fixed by myself

I was switching to Android 8.1 beta before I unlocked the bootloader (grey oem unlock)

after rollback and reset the option turns black (oem unlock)

and the normal unlock procedure works as usual
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bryantjopplin:
That's a little weird glad it worked
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
No. You just happen to do that the day that Google fixed that issue. Read about it on Google+ yesterday, possibly Android Police.

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Kisakuku:
Do both fastboot flashing unlock and fastboot flashing unlock_critical.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Voight Kampff:
Tried this but didn't have any success. Same issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MariuxReloaded:
Finally the cables I've ordered on Amazon have arrived (https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B072152BWQ) and the problem has been fixed by using them on an USB 3.0 port! :D

For this reason, the XDA users which stated that all the Pixels, even the 1st Gen ones, have become very "picky" about the USB cables starting from Android Oreo, were absolutely right when they've suggested to use an USB Type-A to Type-C cable
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Voight Kampff:
yep. another issue solved with these specific cables. thank you!

Unlocking Bootloader Problems

Hello All,

I was looking forward to an afternoon of tinkering, rooting etc...I started with the most basic step, unlocking the bootloader. All the adb commands worked perfectly as expected, except the unlocking command. I tried 3 different cables and 2 computers with the same outcome, no bootloader unlock. Can you think of what I'm missing? I have Google Pixel 2xl purchased directly from Google, Verizon is my carrier. There were no blocks, grayed out areas. The only problem, nothing works to unlock the bootloader.

Thanks all,
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] JimSmith94:
Did you do both "fastboot flashing unlock" and "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WHITEQ0DE:
Hi... I have a good deal on a local online store. But the buyer had mentioned it's a EE unlock. I am not in the UK. Possible for me to somehow unlock the device without contacting EE or will it be a complete waste of money?

If so, what's the procedure to unlock since its already been like 2 since the phone was announced. Well almost.

Thanks!

*****UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE*******

(See Below)

Several month back I attempted and miserably failed at making a stripped down version of CyanogenMod for making use of Plasma Mobile. As of 17Oct17, I successfully compiled Halium 7.1 for the OnePlus One. Goto the links provided below for testing out Halium 7.1 and Plasma Mobile (CAF version)

-Halium system.img and hybris-boot.img

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9YKnsRlFA8pMFN6NjkwZHVRYzg

Plasma Mobile rootfs.img (CAF)

http://images.plasma-mobile.org/caf-rootfs/

Halium-Install script

https://github.com/Halium/halium-scripts/

The process is to wipe device from TWRP recovery. Install hybris-boot.img to boot partition. Then from a computer (Ubuntu preferrably) goto the the cloned directory and run the following command:

./halium-install pm-rootfs-20171011-131506.tar.gz system.img

If all goes well your device will reboot and plasma mobile will start. This is not a daily driver by any means at this point. I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices or problems that may occur. If you have issues with "unauthorized device" messages, try using "sudo" before issuing the above installation command. Enjoy.

[ONE General] xreactx:
I believe Halium takes much of its coding from UBports. It took me about almost two months to figure out how to get it working. I'm working on Halium 5.1 CAF now. The current hybris-boot and system.img I made are not CAF; however, they only work on the CAF PM-rootfs.img. I believe this is the case because there is a bug with the hwcomposer on the non-CAF images.

The link to the porting guide seems to be broken ("there's nothing here yet"), and I was interested in how this was done, as I'd like to try myself.

When performing the script install from a computer, is the phone supposed to be in fastboot, or recovery?
[ONE General] aukdrck:
Hello mate, I was following your guide on oneplus forum and got stuck in step 6. I have rebooted my phone into TWRP and connected it to my PC running windows 10 via the USB cable, opened CMD from halium-scripts folder and ran ./halium-install pm-rootfs-20171011-131506.tar.gz system.img , This is what i got.

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Sorry if this is a silly question. Can you clarify how to properly connect and execute this command?. Thanks in advance for the help.

Can anyone confirm or deny? I really don't want to upgrade and lose root just to try and have it fail.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] skinnytoo2:
So I set it up and have been playing with it for about an hour now. The software is so smooth, butter!! It feels great in the hand. The back is so much better now. Not as slippery as the OG XL. Definitely not a fingerprint magnet. The display is great. I'm not sure why some people are having issues. If you turn off the auto brightness and set it to about 60% you're set. Increase and decrease when needed. The bezels are small. I have a Note 8 so I'm use to the small bezels. These are just as good. The sides aren't as curved as the N8, but I actually think it's going to be better. Typing and touch sensitivity sometimes gets messed up with the N8 because of the curved display. The front facing speakers are best I've heard on a phone in a while. Remember it's just a phone, so your expectation shouldn't be real high. Lol. Love they are front facing. I can actually hold my device in landscape to watch a video and not have to worry about covering up the speaker.

I haven't used the camera or can't comment on the battery. I'll edit this tomorrow to include a little more.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'll be up for a while tonight playing with it.

I've had just about every flagship device out there. As far as I can recall, the Axon 7 is the only device I found that sounded better and louder than my XL. The sammy N8 and S8+ aren't even in the same league. LG V30 is phenomenal, but only with headphones. My HTC 11 was right up there, but it didn't have my most used VZW LTE band so it had to go back (otherwise it may have been daily driver for a while.)

Hello, I'm very familiar with Android and rooting and all the other non Dev stuff. I recently rooted my LG G Stylo 3 Plus with magisk (14.2 at this time), have GMS doze, greenify, and force doze installed. Looking through my battery stats in settings I see gaps between some times(look at attachment or whatever I upload). I'm certain it's not reboots(when reboots occur I have to press the power button to bypass a security warning placed by LG). May it be possible that there's minimal battery drain that the system doesn't really register it and therefore doesn't fill in the whole battery stats history?
