How To Guide Unlocking the Pixel 6 Pro bootloader & central repository of relevant links

- Start date
Only thing I've spotted so far is the n71_n71 combo being back again. Not very useful.
Vo5G is still present for T-Mobile, Metro, and Assurance. Other T-Mobile MVNOs like Simple, Red Pocket, Tracfone, etc might not be far behind with references like the below.
Code:
ims.ims_user_agent_string > T-Mobile VoNR-ePDG-IR94-RTT-ussd #MANUFACTURE#/#MODEL# #BUILD#
Any wagers yet on how soon this new feature will get the axe? Let's see...we have to wait long enough for it to start to become popular, so maybe two years or so, then they can kill it. 
Or maybe it will be just unpopular enough that it sticks around forever and Google just never updates it.

yeah, it may not be possible to remove the greyed out oem unlocking just by removing a package with these phones. IIRC, previously it didn't work to unlock bootloader just with the temp sim unlock, but if it does for you that would be great news! It's much easier to obtain a temp sim unlock than a perm unlock
What you do in this case is call your provider and tell them you need to unlock the phone for an international sim as you are traveling. Make all the temporary things they do, such as tmobile's app, not work (Just tell them its not working). Eventually they will just unlock it fully.
Yep, holiday today so no update.I'm guessing we won't have July's update until tomorrow.
Oh no! They "usually" release it the next day, or sometimes the next day or two.
Important: The Android Security Bulletins are published on the first Monday of each month unless that Monday falls on a holiday. If the first Monday of the month is a holiday the bulletins will be published on the following work day.

Looks like July 7.

I think they only do it when it will be off schedule, like when it's a holiday or for some other reason.
Per Mishaal, Beta 4 may be on July 14 when they are scheduled to release NDK r25.

Oh crap, lol.
Well, they still usually release it the day or two afterwards. We'll see...
It will come July 11th, the security bulletin is usually dated the 5th of the month. This could come at any point, which does not indicate the actual release date of the update.

56Fourth new July image (EMEA) is out:

" Google did share today that the “August 2022 update for all supported Pixel devices will begin rollout in the coming weeks."
Also...
"Google’s three latest phones are getting a “Fix for GPS location failure under certain conditions.” For the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, this is still just the July security patch, while the 6a is likely still on the June patch level."
Guess that explains the surprise new July builds, in part at least...

Here there be dragons.
I am not responsible for anything at all. 
Check warranty status - *may* reveal if a phone is refurbished, only if the phone was refurbished through Google - thanks to @Alekos for making me aware of the site.
Official Google Pixel Update and Software Repair(reported as of January 23, 2022 to still not be updated for the Pixel 6/Pro yet)
Google's Help Page for Find problem apps by rebooting to safe mode - this can be a lifesaver and keep you from having to do a restore to 100% complete stock or even from having to do a factory reset. This will deactivate all Magisk modules, and they'll remain deactivated even after you boot normally after briefly booting to safe mode. You can reenable the Magisk modules as you wish to try to narrow down the problem if it was caused by a Magisk module. This can even get things working again after a Magisk Module wasn't finished installing and potentially causing a bootloop.
Official Google Pixel Install fingerprint calibration software (also available at the bottom of the Update and Software Repair page above) - I believe this is only helpful if you've replaced the screen
Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own)

How I root and update (which is identical whether rooting the first time or updating):
15The unlock process works like this;
1) Take brand new fresh phone out of box. Do NOT put sim card in it, just power it on.
2) When it starts harassing you to join google, hit "skip" and "remind me tomorrow" as applicable until you reach home screen. YOU DO NOT need to plug in a google account.
3) Settings --> About --> Build number. Tap it until it says you're a developer.
4) Back --> Network --> Wifi and connect it.
5) Back --> System --> Developer --> OEM unlocking (check), USB debugging (check), plug in USB, authorize when requested.
6) # adb reboot-bootloader
7) # fastboot flashing unlock
Now that you've unlocked it, it has been wiped, so repeat 1-4, then disable all the google spyware, and go ahead and start using it while waiting for aosp and root.1513Just to let everyone know, updating to .037 and re-rooting (without wiping anything) worked with no problems. My method is to just replace -w with --disable-verity --disable-verification in the flash-all.bat file and run the flash-all command. I then let it reboot, patch the boot image, return to bootloader and flash the patched boot image.

EDIT: Thank you @ipdev for confirming my inquiry that this method would work back on Nov. 4
