Pixel 2 Verizon unlock bootloader instructions are here below

Unlocking the Bootloader WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE!! so backup important files.

Install ADB/Fastboot Drivers

Enable Developer Options

Enable USB Debugging in Developer Options

Plug Pixel 2 into PC

Open a Command Prompt window;

In Command Prompt, type adb start-server

and hit ENTER

If you see * daemon started successfully *

continue to next step

In Command Prompt, type adb devices

and hit ENTER

If you see "List of devices attached" as well as "Your Devices Serial Number device or unauthorized"

continue to next step

On Pixel 2 - Allow PC for USB Debugging

In Command Prompt, type adb reboot bootloader

Once your Pixel 2 has rebooted into the bootloader

In Command Prompt, type fastboot flashing lock_critical

and hit ENTER Then follow the instructions on your Pixel 2 to finish Unlocking Bootloader.

Correct on the steps, including the entire discussion found here. https://xdaforums.com/pix...el-2s-t3726294

***PATCHED BY OUT-OF-CYCLE JANUARY UPDATE***

If you have received the OTA patch for your pixel2, and now are on OPM2.171019.016, you will no longer be able to run the command. And downgrade is not available at this time.

As of 1/24/2018 users who have purchased new phones have been able to remove the SIM, refuse internet (WiFi) connection at the initial startup. After completing the initial setup, you can sideload 8.1 to take advantage of the command in the OP. If you connect to the internet with WiFi or with your SIM, chances are high you will receive the update and this method WILL NOT work. To date, there are no other ways to unlock the bootloader on VZW PIX2 other than this method. Instructions to sideload stock OTA's are found here along with the downloads. https://developers.google.com/android/ota Once again, DO NOT USE 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.016, Jan 2018, Verizon) but instead use 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018) The command is not available on 8.0.

There is also another alternative way which has worked for me this week on Pixel 32GGB Verizon. Its called depixel8. more info can be found @ http://theroot.ninja/depixel8.html

Usage:

Step 1) Install fastboot and adb on your PC, ensure both are working with your Pixel.

Step 2) Run "adb push dePixel8 /data/local/tmp", "adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/dePixel8" and finally run the program "adb shell /data/local/tmp/dePixel8"

(put the depixel files in the same folder as your ADB/FASTBOOT drivers are where you do your command prompt commands)

Step 3) Wait for the phone to reboot to the bootloader. If it is not rebooting you can try to run various apps until it does, or you may have to reboot and start over.

Step 4) Issue the command "fastboot oem unlock", this will open up the unlock prompt and warning on the screen. You can now unlock. If you get an error, about unlocking not being allowed, start all over again.

dePixel8 is patched in Android 7.1.1 and newer.

lock bootlooader without power button

How can i relock my bootloader without use of my power button its broken
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Are you rooted?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
I personally recommend not relocking your bootloader. If you aren't on pure stock it will give you problems and even if you are on pure stock, an unlocked bootloader is a devices most powerful recovery tool and OTAs have been known to fail on occasion and other problems you would want to recover from can occur.

As to the answer to your question, if you can boot the device normally at all then you can turn on adb debugging and from there open an adb shell and use adb reboot bootloader to get to fastboot mode and then use fastboot oem lock I believe
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Keetoowah:
Thank I've decided to have the power button repaired at my own expence since I have a Verizon Pixel 2 with an unlocked bootloader. The replacement they sent me wasn't unlockable. The unlocked bootloader with TWRP and root are well worth the price of the power button.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
How much was the replacement button and installation by the way, I'm rather curious

If want smooth 4k filming then go for Sandisk Extreme Pro A1 variants as it build for great 4k experience. Ultra optimized for 1080p Full HD but it still can record 4k very well too
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] silegeek:
I'm assuming the people asking having 64GB and perhaps need the extra storage? I know at 64 I'd feel comfortable having the extra I have 128GB And thus far, have struggled to make any impact and I capture photots and slow mo on a daily basis, the file sizes arent large when saved. I'm using 32GB for just my music alone, and thats maybe 80% full.

Slow motion (not super slow mo) I imagine would take up much more space (especially as 1080p) as the files can be as long as you want really. Super slow mo is 720p.

Hi guys

I have a problm with gestures

selfie mode activation not work !

double-tap the phone to view it not work !

enter the phone to view it not work !

others work fine

please how to fixe this problem

thanks
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
What version are you on? 8.1 / March Security update? Are you on stock rom? Have you confirmed that all Gestures you desire to use are actually enabled. (Settings -> System -> Gestures)

The ones I have listed (on stock, 8.1 / March security update) are as follows:

- Swipe fingerprint for notifications (Will pull down notification shade)

- Jump to Camera (This is double-press of Power button at any time to launch camera)

- Flip Camera (This only works within the camera app)

- Double-tap to check phone (When screen off will bring up Active Display - show clock and any notifications)

- Lift to Check phone (Same as Double-tap above)

Make sure all of those are turned on. I don't know what you are referring to when you say "enter the phone to view it not work ! " - that doesn't correlate to any of the gestures that exist in the stock rom.

Make sure you are testing the gestures as they are intended to be used...the Gestures setting menu has good "videos" to show the proper gestures to make. Good luck.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] DrJoint1991:
As title says, is it possible?

I tried to unlock bootloader even with message saying "Bootloader unlock: No" and it worked. I didnt expect this to happend and I've lost TA partition. Most stupid move I've ever made.

Now I'm wondering about possibility of relocking without TA. I dont really care about X-Reality, low light camera issues etc.

Just want to know will it work? I really would like to avoid hard bricking.

Any information?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] snake218:
Without a TA partition backup, you can't relock.

Are you sure the bootloader was unlocked? Does the phone display the warning screen when phone boots?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] gregbradley:
This is impossible. If it said it was not allowed then you cannot unlock the bootloader. I imagine that your bootloader is still locked or that it was allowed in the first place.

You will not be able to restore your TA, but i believe you may be able to relock the bootloader using flashtool without it. However, you will not get back the lost functions so you will be better off keeping it unlocked (If you really are unlocked) and using a custom ROM/kernel with the DRM restore functions.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] DrJoint1991:
Yes I do have a warning message at boot stage. I'm currently using Existenz ROM, have root etc. So it is unlocked. I've seen a post on this forum with information that some phones display fake message about unlocking bootloader. Thats why I have tried unlocking my phone and it worked. Before bootloader unlock: no, now it says Yes. All I had to do was open dev options, check oem unlock and debug. I'm not lying to you guys.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] juanpirulo:
bootloader unlocked :no it means that state of your bootloader is locked but you can unlocked.

bootloader unlocked allowed :no means you cant unlocked your bootloader because some restriccions on your phone. Only sony can change this state.

So sorry you cant relocked your bootloader if you lost your ta you only can fix it but flashing a custom kernel with drmfix. cheers

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] surendrajat:
Questions are fine:)

First, you don't need to install APK Studio because it's portable, just follow download link, download apkstudio-v4.x.x-windows_x86.zip file and extract it. You can then simply run apk-studio.exe .

No. It can't be opened in android studio, it's a standalone app.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NetSpeedZ:
Really like APK Studio for quick changes.

Having issue with a simple change in a java file (changing variable from false to true). No errors are reported in APK Studio console - apk builds and installs correctly, however, when looking at the java code after build, the variable doesn't change. It seems that the APK Studio build process is not recompiling the modified java code.

Is there a build setting required to recompile the apk (including the modified java code)?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Purchased phone after 1 hour usage camera app says can not connect to camera. Only front camera seems to work

[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] iliais347:
Try Disabling/Enabling the app from the settings app. If that does not help resolve your issue, try installing gcam from here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WOdULwF-m4qrKOxhZyAMDkXKiFeFYZwj/view

Try this Version of GCAM and see if you have the same problem. You can also try third party camera apps from the play store if you have not done so. Let us know.

Good luck.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] numbawon:
Is it even not able to connect after a reboot? If it's still acting that way after a reboot it could be something stuck in the data partition keeping it active (like something stuck in cache in the photos app or another app that can use the camera). So one thing that you can try is clearing the cache for the camera app.

You can check another app that can capture photos as well.

If another app has the hardware locked up (ie only one app can access the hardware at a time) this could happen but normally when the app is no longer in focus it should release the hardware unless the software is locked up.... but then generally killing the app and or clearing the cache should release it. ....

but reboot should most cases solve it. If it doesn't it'll present that way if the physical connection to the hardware is broken (physical defect or if the ribbon got broken or disconnected) and then is a return to retailer or factory warranty issue.
