What's a "brah"?

The package was sealed, the device (according to ADB output has no charging cycles) and was obviously never in use. That's what I would call brand new.... But if that's the wrong term and "new old stock" is what it should be called, I wouldn't disagree.

Doesn't matter though, as it's still a perfectly fine device that cannot be updated even though that's only limited because of Verizon's policy.

Since I already updated three other non-verizon Pixel-2s it was surprising to experience locked-down-for-no-obvious-reason devices that can no longer be put to good use.

Get real? ... Well,....

There are lots and lots of old Pixel 2 phones out there, some of them in mint condition and still boxed.

Seems like a nice idea to put these devices to good use by unlocking their bootloader and installing a custom ROM image such as Lineage OS.

Except... when you are dealing with Verizon devices which -- for reasons unknown -- sinply cannot be unlocked.

Why?

The author used greenworks for a long time and it's great, but gave up for the following reasons:

* It's not being maintained anymore. * It's not up to date. * It's not context-aware. * You have to build the binaries by yourself. * Don't have typescript definitions. * The API it's not trustful. * The API implement callbacks instead of return flags or promises. * The author hates C++.

it's a glitch. But we decided that it's a glitch that should make for an alternative way to play ... and even an alternative ending.... talk to the dog in the bird's nest up to the left...
