There's nothing there about root after update

There's no difference with root. You just can't unlock bootloader after the update. There are tons of threads about root already

He can't use those root files with an unlocked bootloader

I wish VZW users would preface their thread titles with [VERIZON] so the rest of us could save a few clicks and just ignore them.

@revolt1,

Don't hold your breath waiting. I doubt there'll be a method to unlock VZW Pixel XL bootloader running 7.1.1.

7.1.1 locked up the bootloader again. Need to wait for an exploit. I'm finding .ore and more these days that stock Android is my fav without root now that I have a non-root AdBlock method.

He asked about root and you guys are talking about unlocking, I'm confused.

Cuz you have to be unlocked to root. Unlocking is step one before you can do anything.

An update locked the bootloader? Thanks for this, I'll not be going to vz to get this phone. Now I'm wondering if the update that the Google bought phone gets when a vz sim is inserted (what I've read) will do the same?

If you find one in stock it shouldn't have the update since it just came out last week. You can't remove sim and skip setup and don't connect to wifi. Then you can unlock before taking the OTA. That's what I did on my replacement pixel from best buy

Just to clarify, if you are already unlocked before taking the 7.1.1 update you will still be unlocked after update.
