Honestly? Don't like pixels. Seen the bootloader go tits up and device go into EDL, hardbricking it.

By literally trying to do an update. Unrooted, stock phone.

Such things happen to many devices. I remember how oneplus booted hacked image with blocked BL and also I’m seen how HTC M7 bricked just by OTA update (and I’m able to fix it only with unlocking h-boot and flashed dump using TWRP).

Atleast the bootloader issue is fixable with a patch, but a bricked device from normal usage that google is just gonna PHONE SWAP, feels incredibly money grabbing. Especially when it just needs a windows PC, a Qualcomm driver, and a google proprietary restore tool.

Actually can be fixed even without google but nkt by all.

Why not *publicly*? Who else can?

I think google don’t make it public cause FRP bypass. But anyway some chiense guys can fix that.

Name, Link? Perhaps something like this being leaked would make them make FRP server side, like it should have been from the beginning.
