[GUIDE] Unlock/Flash/Root for the Pixel 2 XL (taimen)
- Thread starter nathanchance
- Start date
So long as you can or did unlock the bootloader, yes.
The pixel 2 XL is already on Android 10 and the bootloader is locked, also the phone has never been rooted. If it is still possible to root and possibly unlock bootloader, kindly recommend the right tool to use
Install latest platform tools/adb and fastboot on your computer
Connect your phone to your computer
Toggle OEM unlocking and adb in developer settings. Allow when the prompt comes up on your phone. Sometimes if you type
adb devices
in terminal it activates this as well
Boot to fastboot then type in terminal
Fastboot flashing unlock
This will wipe your data but your bootloader will now be unlocked
Everything you need - information and tools - is in the first post. The instructions however have changed slightly in that you no longer need to execute the unlock critical command to fully unlock the device. Note that if your device is a Verizon P2XL you will NOT be able to unlock the bootloader.
Sadly, P2XL from Verizon hard to unlock bootloader. I want fallback to Android 10, flashing factory image without unlock bootloader impossible.
When did Yoda get here? :laugh:
Easy method: Simply opt-out from the Beta on the dedicated Android 11 Beta website and your device will be returned to Android 10.

It doesn't work on the Pixel 2 XL. ANYONE posting that link isn't reading it clearly, as it ONLY applies to the OG Pixels, which can be unlocked.
The bootloader on the Verizon P2XL is locked down tighter than a drum. It cannot be unlocked using any known method for the OG Pixel, in part due to the P2XL's security hardware, which the OG Pixel does not have.
As I have said repeatedly, these forums have a 50+ page thread detailing innumerable attempts to unlock the Verizon P2XL. Virtually no one on that thread succeeded and the bounty in that thread to this day remains unclaimed. The only successes on that thread were due to an improperly locked bootloader early on in the device's lifespan; a flaw that was patched the following month.
The method provided in your link does not work on the Pixel 2 XL. If you can provide verified proof, i e. an unedited video showing the exploit in action on the Pixel 2 XL, then do so for the benefit of all the Verizon P2XL owners who have been waiting for nearly three years for an exploit. Otherwise put a sock in it.
Urgent question everyone ... I might need to return my phone for repair as my battery is not charging at all ...
I have like 60% left but I cannot connect the phone to the laptop to flash stock and re-lock the bootloader ...
Any ideas how I can at least flash stock using TWRP ?
If there is a chance for adb commands w/o connecting to the laptop that would be great also ..

You can just flash the stock OTA with TWRP and I wouldn't worry about locking your bootloader.
I flashed Android 11 and tried to flash Magisk using the latest Canary but it's causing bootloops. Anybody has similar experience or any solutions? Should I just wait for a newer release?
Did you uninstall/disable all modules before you patched your A11 boot.img with canary Magisk Manager version (297) and before installing the A11 factory image via fastboot??
