Hey guys, I've looked around and can't seem to find the answer to my problem and I don't want to do anything before researching
My phone seems to have unrooted itself. I noticed after my call recorder stopped working.

Unlocked bootloader on Verizon Pixel XL
7.1.1. Build NOF26V
Security patch Feb 5, 2017.

When I boot into recovery I get "no command" and I have to hold power to shut down.
Originally unlocked the bootloader with Depixl8 and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79.zip" had TWRP installed but can't access it.
I'm feeling it has to do with the security patch.

Any help would and I would be very grateful!

The no command screen you see is the stock recovery. From that screen you can hold power and tap the volume button up to bring up the stock recovery options.

It's crazy, but there have been reports of Verizon variants updating them selves and relocking their own bootloader's. I'm assuming it's a way the dual partition updates.

My friend got his the other day, it was on 7.1 so we unlocked the bl, added twrp, and rooted. By the time we booted the phone back up, we found the phone and magically updated to 7.1.1 WITH NO INTERACTION FROM US. Literally we turned it on, went to settings and it said 7.1.1.


Go make sure your BL is still unlocked
