[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
You made the right choice and should be very excited as I was. You won't even have to go into Verizon unless you have a really old SIM not provisioned for the latest features, but just use the old SIM for now. Look, I've never used Verizon, but I've read threads where ppl are claiming problems unlocking the bootloader on a Google Store SIM-free phone with a Verizon SIM in it. Why not take the safe road and leave the SIM out until after first boot, and you are able to get into Dev Settings? No harm done.... just leave it on Wi-Fi. Follow the initial instructions about transferring your data over via the provided cable and once the phone is up and running, first enable Dev Settings, and then toggle "Allow OEM unlock" and "Enable USB debugging". Once those toggles are set you can put the SIM in at any time. Maybe I'm just paranoid but that is what I would do. No harm lost and you won't get the greyed out "Allow OEM unlock" toggle. Others using Verizon may confirm this may not necessary with the P2XL after the 8.1 update, but having been burned before, I'm not risking it. There is no down-side to using Wi-Fi until the phone is set up properly. CONGRATS!

I came from a Nexus 5X. I'm very happy so far. I stopped seeing the blue shift once I stopped looking for it which isn't even that bad. So really no complaints. After 2 months of owning it I still haven't really gotten used to the huge size (I like phones usable with one hand) but that's not a complaint since is was expecting it and the incredible battery life from the much larger battery is well worth it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MariuxReloaded:
I had a lot of problems in unlocking my Pixel 2 XL and flashing a new factory image, both using the USB Type-C to Type-C cable included in the phone's box and the USB Type-A to Type-C cable of my mom's Nexus 5X.

I've fixed everything only when I've bought these amazing cables on Amazon (https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B072152BWQ), since the Pixels (both 1st and 2nd Gen) have become very "picky" about the cables starting from Oreo, even if you use the ones of the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, as explained by some users here on XDA

I'm on Pure Nexus, and I'm contemplating whether or not to even bother with this NPH25.200-22 update.

I'm looking for a good, stable, custom ROM that's themeable.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spencervb256:
I'd go with aicp or dirty unicorns personally. I think these roms are definitely worth the upgrade and they're both extremely stable. AICP has a thread here on xda. Called the Android Ice Cold Project...and dirty unicorns has a website and g+ page.

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase customize

And then I downloaded the latest TWRP, 3.2.1.0

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-clark.img
fastboot reboot recovery

Performing a backup of everything onto my ext-sdcard.

Going with AICP, just like I did 2 years ago when I first got this thing.

That's not the problem... the "bricking" issue is if you are on Nougat, then downgrade the ENTIRE device to Marshmallow, then take the Nougat OTA update again, this will cause a hard brick. Simply flashing the modems does not cause a problem with bricking.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] 22sumit:
I had recently rooted my moto g5 plus and due to battery issues had to relock the bootloader before taking it to the service center.

After examining the device, the service center asked me if it was rooted earlier to which I replied Yes and then they told me that the device has void its warranty since the device was rooted.

Now that I had relocked the bootloader, can I not claim the device warranty now?

Please show me a direction here.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] psychopac:
I don't think you can get your warranty back. Some say that once you issue an unlock code, your warranty gets void even if you use the code to unlock bootloader or not. I do hope that you get your warranty back and get your phone fixed. Anyways, you could've just told them that it wasn't rooted
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] 22sumit:
My bad, I couldn't lie it to them coz they had evidence that the bootloader was unlocked earlier.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] psychopac:
Was it locked when you gave the phone to them?

I remember I had a Moto E2 which was running a custom ROM and the phone was in warranty and when it's speaker started going bonkers, I just flashed the fastboot ROM and locked the bootloader (I think so) and took it to service center and they fixed it for free. Actually, the speaker grill had accumulated some dust and that was interfering with the sound output so they opened the phone and cleaned the speaker.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] 22sumit:
Yes relocked it last night and flashed the stock fastboot images as well.

First they did the same in the holy name of software update and then finally giving up to the final conclusion that the battery needed replacement. I left the mobile with them until they told me on call that they'll be charging Rs 1500 for the replacement since the device was rooted. Sometimes even I think that had I lied to them, they might had considered replacing it at no extra cost.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] psychopac:
I wonder what would changing the battery has to do with a fault on the screen?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] 22sumit:
It's actually a battery issue
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
I don't think you understand... you VOLUNTARILY gave up your warranty when the unlock code was issued, regardless of whether you actually unlocked the bootloader or not. You cannot "get your warranty back" in any way. Did you not read ANY of the multiple warnings when you unlocked your phone, it is presented very clearly at least 3 times before you actually commit to getting the code.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] syl0n:
It depends on the country you live in. A company can't get you to accept something like that and make you give up a right given to you by law. Check your local consumer laws, you might still be able to get it fixed under warranty.

I know that in the EU, Australia, New Zealand etc a company cannot waive the rights of a user under the local consumer laws by just getting you to accept some stupid disclaimer.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Most EU countries that is partially true, depending on your country, I will elaborate in a second... I was unaware there were similar laws in Australia or New Zealand...

The situation is quite complicated, at least in Germany, but most likely this applies to most EU countries. There are two different types of warranty. First, the manufacturer warranty / express warranty (Garantie), which is entirely voluntary and the manufacturer dictates its terms. Second, there is the implied warranty (Gewährleistung), which is regulated by law and exercised by the

seller

.

Under express warranty, manufacturers can decline any repairs easily because of unlocking, and they do that of course. However, under implied warranty, that isn't easily possible. In Germany, in the first 6 months after you buy the device, the seller has to prove that a fault is your own doing. Which is really hard, so you should be good to go even with unlocked bootloader. After the first 6 months, it is the opposite, you have to prove that a defect wasn't caused by you, which is again, really hard.

So in the first 6 months after you've bought the phone you should be fine, but after that, it will be problematic to say the least. Again, this is true for Germany, it might be a bit different in other EU countries.

There are any number of discussions on this topic on Reddit, Lenovo's Official Forums, here and other forums, and although some people seem to get around the Motorola/Lenovo statements, the vast majority don't, even in countries with laws to subjugate this practice. A little Googling will confirm that. Whatever Moto, and other manufacturers with similar policies are doing, in general they are not honoring warranties after bootloader unlocking.

The reality is a lot worse than the pretty picture the politicians give us about the laws that supposedly protect consumers.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] agentfusion:
Once you unlock the bootloader, your warranty is void. It doesn't matter if you relock it. Because you have to request an unlock code from Motorola, that big long agreement you have to accept when you request the code basically tells you that you're voiding your warranty the moment you click "accept", whether you actually use the code and unlock the bootloader or not. Just asking for the code is all it takes.

That's something you need to come to terms with if you're going to use custom ROMs, or root your device. I always wait a month or two to make sure my phone doesn't have any defects before I mess with ROMs, and I research devices before buying them to see what kind of issues they may be prone to in the first 12 months.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, bud.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] ericpeacock79:
from the unlock code page https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b :

I just got a used/refurb G5 Plus in the mail yesterday - it still has warranty thru 06/2018. ($145 from B&H, for the 4GB/64GB version!)

All right, time to "ROM it up!". Read unlock/root directions. get oem unlock data from fastboot, go to the motorola unlock code page:

I sat there, on the unlock code page for about 6 minutes, reading and re-reading that. I've decided not to unlock for now. It's not often that I have a phone under warranty (I've almost always had used phones, etc), so i think i will try to see how well I can get along with stock ROM for a change.

Thankfully, I see very little variance away from AOSP.

This will be a major challenge, for me, to see how long I can stay stock and unrooted. Hopefully, I can make it to the 8.0 OTA.

But, the point is - I read the stuff and took time to think and make an informed decision.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
North America and Europe don't have "service centers"... We have to send them into corporate repair center to get fixed, there is no walk-in service, which requires an RMA be issued and we get stopped right there.

Honestly, your service center isn't helping... When they do repairs on a device like this, they later submit the repair to Moto/Lenovo for reimbursement and they don't get paid because the IMEI is flagged. Sure, you got your device fixed, but your neighbors paid for it, not Moto.

I now have a working Aroma installer with all the mods below and more. Thanks to @Diesel_Jeremiah for testing them for me. Like the instructions below, in the Aroma you must flash one of the base first. One has stock WiFi-Data icons, the other has up-down traffic arrows included. After that you can install the others in any order and without rebooting. If you ever do reboot there is no need to flash base again unless the Aroma installer has been updated.

Center clock aod versions take the system icons off aod but leave center clock on it. The regular center clock options are the opposite.

The Aroma's come with the following options:

Clock mods

Internet speed indicators

3Minit Mod

Enabled stock WiFi-Data in-out arrows

One percent batteries

Battery percent on AOD

Navbar height adjustment 30-48 dip

Colored statusbar icons

Colored Navbar Icons

Colored Notification Backgrounds

Colored Notification Text

Colored QS backgrounds

Colored QS text

3,4,5,6,7 column QS tiles

Navbar swap of back and recents

Invisible power menu button in far right hand corner of statusbar. Tap closes the screen, long press brings up the power button menu.

Remove carrier text

Remove NavBar completely with 3,4,5,6,7 column QS options.

Invisible home button on far left of status bar option for LMT or other mods that might not start as intended.

Ability to add your own custom NavBar icons:

Instructions:

Make a folder on your sdcard called "custom"

Put the NavBar Icons of choice in it. Don't forget "dark" ones if you want them to change color on light background

If the Icons are material by google, select the option corresponding to your Navbar height. If they are not material, flash "custom icons with no padding" (last option under Navbar height). In order to swap icons you will have to go back and flash aroma again and flash either navbar swap with corresponding navbar height if they are material or custom navbar swap, (last option under Navbar swap) if not material.

Could you change the battery icon to the lightning bolt that shows next to the clock on the lock screen, and have it show when charging? That way the color doesn't need to change, yet there would be an indicator that the phone is charging.

IE:

Not charging = battery percentage

Charging = battery percentage & lightning bolt
