It's to get a non-Verizon model. That means no locked bootloader.Why would you need to edit out the Verizon part? It's still under manufacturer warranty. Or is this so we don't get a locked bootloader Verizon replacement?
I just did an insurance claim and they sent me an unlocked variant.. didn't send me the same color phone I originally had.. but needless to say the OEM unlock isn't greyed outNot going to work. The unlocked variants actually came from verizon, not google.
had you edited the packing slip prior to you sending the device in for replacement?
I only ask because there is 2 bar-codes on the packing slip. One with the RMA #. The other for device make/mode/ type.
Why wouldn't they just scan the bar-codes?
Worked for me, just got a new one again. The email they send will say "Your Verizon pixel 2 has shipped"what makes you think that they dont just scan a barcode? has this method worked for you or anyone else?
