Hey Sam, curious if you enabled the Linux on Win 10?? Its not too bad to do simple stuff, havent tried anything too complex with it...

 

For those unaware and interested, In Security enable Developer mode. In Programs, add Windows features and scroll to the bottom and down there you will see Windows Subsystem for Linux

[SamuriHL]

Yes, that's what I was referring to in my posts from yesterday.  It doesn't work with fastboot/adb so it's useless.

Sam, will HoN flash an OTA to a device with a locked bootloader?? I can't remember.

[SamuriHL]

Yes it will. Had to be OTA not factory image.

Thank you. Now I have to find time to pry the device from my wife's hands.

It has happened. I told her there were three security flaws that would 1) melt her phone and 2) give her diarrhea for a month. She threw her phone at me and said "FIX IT!!!!!!"

Well, I finally get to try using HoN on my new Pixel.

Maybe. Sometime soon. If I really bugger something up.

Thus far, I haven't rooted, not even unlocked the bootloader.... And the DevPrev of 8.1 installed via OTA flawlessly....

The HoN will flash the big OTA images on a locked phone, but, it won't do factory images because of Google's stupid policy.

[johnlgalt]

Even with an unlocked bootloader?

 

Stupid....

[SamuriHL]

No it requires an unlocked bootloader before you can Flash a factory image.

Oh, I interpreted that to mean you could not flash factory images period using HoN.  Hence my confusion. I knew about the bootloader thing, as it was the same with my Nexus 6.  But I had already unlocked the bootloader on it (at some point I did, don't remember exactly when, early on though).

 

Thanks for the clarification to ease my confusion.

It looks like the pixel 2 might have additional unlocking commands.

The clip below was copied from :  https://developers.g.../android/images

 

 

 

 

If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader using one of the following methods:

• If you are updating a Nexus or Pixel device that is manufactured in 2015 or later (for example, a Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL device), run this command:

  fastboot flashing unlock

Note: the 'flashing unlock' command is only available with fastboot version 23.0.1 or later. The latest available version of fastboot can be downloaded from SDK Platform Tools.

• For Pixel 2 XL only: the critical partitions may also need to be unlocked before flashing. The unlock can be performed with this command, and should NOT be done on other devices:

  fastboot flashing unlock_critical

• If you are updating an older device, run this command:

  fastboot oem unlock

The target device will show you a confirmation screen. (This erases all data on the target device.)

See Unlocking the bootloader for more detailed instructions.

[SamuriHL]

Yea, and if you don't do it at the time of unlocking, it will wipe your device again the second time around.  So make sure you do it right the first time.

Kaos told me about the additional step in Hangouts.
