Ok, brah, you started your post with a baldface lie. You did not purchase a "brand new" device. You went to eBay. Some shady reseller gave you what's known as "new old stock". A still-sealed White Album first press is not "brand new" because it's 56 years old. The Pixel line is up to model 9 now; my 8 is still fresh. Those are the "brand new" and supported devices. Get real. |

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,....
