[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
dude calm down, where do you get me having "a problem respecting other opinions"?! Having a different opinion does not mean not having "a problem respecting other opinions"...it's simply a different opinion! Even you said "Opinions are like noses, Everybody has one.". Geez...

I literally said "Again, just my opinion and something you may want to consider...", I don't see how that was disrespectful to your opinion nor was it anything but just a mere suggestion...😮‍💨

It shows that English may not be your first language and/or you have trouble reading... I did not write my post for "users [ I ] am commenting for", it is obviously for YOU in hopes it helps you understand WHERE users are coming from, not FOR them. Because there are users that have been confused by you guide and there is need for some clarification -- either on your part or theirs -- and you would be deluded believing otherwise and that there is no need for clarification. I don't wish to, but please don't make me quote all the posts here of users that got confused by your guide. Winstonshead & Post #106 being just one of them.

And, also again, you misunderstand that I was helping you try to understand EtherealRemnant's English slang; which he "didn't wish to clarify", but I was attempting so -- again, either misunderstanding English and/or you having trouble reading things.

Dude, you seriously had like 5 "edited posts" to EtherealRemnant, how the hell am I supposed to know which one you're referring to?!?! Or are you referring to the post where you were wrong and incorrectly & mistakenly stated EtherealRemnant did not link to a XDA thread/post? Or the one where you did not understand what it meant when the Pixel first dropped...?

Why did I need to write a post identifying any errors in this thread that weren't corrected for you to have errors for a long time regardless? I'm not responsible for the information on the OP. Who said we had to identify and correct your errors in order to point them out? While it might've been convenient or nice for me to have, it doesn't absolve that there were errors for a long time nevertheless. Me and EtherealRemnant were merely pointing that out, not taking responsibility for it nor coming out like we weren't nice enough to point it out.

You say you respect my different opinion but claim I'm not respecting other opinions just because it's different than mine? Under your logic, you're not respecting my opinion that works because it's different than yours that works...

In any case, maybe this will put it to rest; I

DO

respect most of your guide and your opinions on what you include in it.

Yes, you do, and it is a fine program. I only suggest the Official Google Android Flash Tool because it is, in fact, "official" and therefore

safer

; Even badabing2003 has a disclaimer stating that there are risks involved with his tool -- especially considering this whole thing was triggered by re-locking bootloader and bricking the device -- because it is mostly developed and kept up with just him while Google has a whole team dedicated to their official one as well as they have the most intimate and complete knowledge in terms of flashing and locking/unlocking bootloaders on its devices.

post #3 is shown as posted on October 14; possibly a whole 24 hours after you created the thread. That's 24 hours of potential ramifications for users who would have followed and gotten into a bootloop because of it. This again speaks to the "out of sync" experience having these multiple guides.

Also, while that mistake was rectified within a day, the mistake in the section of updating by OTA and retaining root went on for far longer than that (weeks by my recollection).

All this was simply pointed out by @EtherealRemnant that there have been some delays in correct information on this guide before...

I sincerely hope this post helps you understand (or at least better understand) some things and I hope you aren't so defensive of the help of clarifying things for you; as taking offense can severely affect objectivity and reception to help and improvement...
