So I got a Verizon Pixel XL NDE63P and unlocked the bootloader. I then updated to NMF26U (Stock Image). If I lock the bootloader will it get stuck since it isn't a verizon Image? or will it be ok since it is a Pixel stock image? I'm trying to get rid of the ugly corruption message.

This may sound strange but if it really bothers you then you could see if someone on here with a locked vzw device is interested in a swap. It would require some trust but could be mutually beneficial.

There is absolutely no difference between the software you have and the software that's on a google bought pixel. They have been releasing the same exact build for both devices. There is no difference between the two. However if you ever lock your bootloader you will never be able to unlock again.

I want it unlocked. I just don't want the ugly screen.... but I can deal with it.
