You need to enable oem unlock and usb debugging and some branded versions can't be unlocked

I have a google store pixel 2, even when the exploit to run to enable a toggle OEM unlock this tool is unable to unlock the boot loader. I hope this information is useful for development. Thank you for making this tool! The more I look into my IMEI it seems phone is a Google store phone with factory locked bootloader. I originally said Verizon because I couldn't believe my model number

That toggle doesn't actually mean anything without the proper code in the OEM partition.

So I know that updates can't touch the way our bootloader functions, they have to act higher in the stack because we never had the bootloader unlocked in the first place. Based on my research here https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/avb/+/master/README.md#Locked-and-Unlocked-mode
Under the updating stored roll back indexes
And
Handling dm-variety errors
If we can "AVB_VBMETA_IMAGE_FLAGS_HASHTREE_DISABLED"
"Android boot.verietymode" is set to dissabled
"androidboot.verietymode.managed" and "androidboot.vbmeta.invalidate_on_error" are unset.
We should be able to unlock the bootloader.
Someone should look over my primary source as I am not sure I am interpreting it correctly. I do not know how to set parameters please advise.

In a closing thought, if this cannot unlock the bootloader

we could boot into a patched boot.img and then install magisk? I haven't quite reached a persistent root idea with unlocked bootloader yet

Can't patch a patched boot because you need an unlocked bootloader to flash it. My idea so far involves either HTC diag mode and qpst, or their download mode. There are hidden commands I've found in HLOS partition I believe, I need to be on my laptop and I'll tell you.

Edited: it's hosd actually

I vaguely know what your talking about and think that's a good direction. Looking more into it now. I think there may be a way to enter a temporary root by booting into the patched img watch this YouTube video to understand my basic concept

I know what you mean but we can't fastboot flash an image without already being bootloader unlocked. Only ota files.

 

[alecthenice]

Can we just flash a .bin something like test.bin then try "fastboot flash test.bin oem unlock" any potential for boot loop here or is my biggest danger waste of time?
Maybe follow that glitch inducing file flash by "oem unlock"?

I don't understand what you want to do, to unlock the pixel 2 xl bootloader you should use the command "fastboot flashing unlock"

I'm basically trying to tweak the command since the boot loader is unlockable but something is telling the boot loader otherwise. I.E "flashing unlock failed..." Just a hair brained hack for what seems like glitched pixel 2s (google branded pixel 2s w/ locked blogosphere) I understand the verizon situation. I was inspired after watching the root method for the LG v30 which uses the same snapdragon 835. Think there is any merit here? The LG v30 root pioneer calls it the wtf method

Hi all. Been a long time for me. Kind of stopped rooting my phone's but was interested again since my 2 is fairly old now and I'd like to open a couple features usually locked. Is this tool still updated and usable? Im not even looking for twrp or bootloader, just generic root. Kind of looks like wugs old toolbox. Thanks.
