Noob bootloader question

[mkenny2]

The battery died on my bootlader locked vzw pixel XL running 7.1.1. I plugged it in right away, pressed the power button and what I believe was the bootloader with a start button showed up on my screen. Is this wishful thinking of could this somehow lead to unlocking my 7.1.1 pixel?

Maybe you can unlock the bootloader, but the start button let's you reboot. You can execute fastboot commands from the bootloader, maybe you can test it out. Hope, I helped you:good:

Sorry to say I'm 99%sure unlocking Verizon is not possible on 7.1.1 so you may well be stuck I'm afraid, the force unlock tool only works on 7.1 before being patched!

No, won't help. You hit power and volume together and it just started in the boot menu.

That's the bootloader. You get to the bootloader screen by powering off then hold power and volume down buttons to power on. Once there use volume button to scroll through options like boot to recovery and select with power button. But you just accidentally probably got into it exactly that way. Normal function and no closer to unlocking I'm afraid.

It is impossible to unlock a VZW Pixel if it already took the 7.1.1 updated. Exploit was patched in that release. Sry mate
