Check warranty status

- *may* reveal if a phone is refurbished, only if the phone was refurbished through Google - thanks to @Alekos for making me aware of the site.

Official Google Pixel Update and Software Repair

(reported as of January 23, 2022 to still not be updated for the Pixel 6/Pro yet)

Google's Help Page for Find problem apps by rebooting to safe mode - this can be a lifesaver and keep you from having to do a restore to 100% complete stock or even from having to do a factory reset. This will deactivate all Magisk modules, and they'll remain deactivated even after you boot normally after briefly booting to safe mode. You can reenable the Magisk modules as you wish to try to narrow down the problem if it was caused by a Magisk module. This can even get things working again after a Magisk Module wasn't finished installing and potentially causing a bootloop.

Official Google Pixel Install fingerprint calibration software

(also available at the bottom of the Update and Software Repair page above) - I believe this is only helpful if you've replaced the screen

Official Google Android Flash Tool

(OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own)

ADB/Fastboot, Windows Drivers, and unlocking the bootloader

(thanks @sidhaarthm for confirming unlocking the bootloader works as intended, be sure to thank him in his post)
