Code: Fastboot flashing lock_critical

Would it be possible to modify the .bin in an OTA sideload for a root? Am I missing a key point in how this works? Or is it just, no one's done it yet?Edit: I guess it just took a passion and a situation. See thread for unlock.Edit Part 2: Electric Boogaloo: Just a quick recap of what's happened here. From the bootloader screen on my Pixel 2 (Walleye) I ran thecommand, which then gave me a menu asking if I really want to lock it, or unlock it, I clicked unlock, and here we are. So far, only @ zinchalk has confirmed this working. I would love for more people to try this out on their Verizon Pixel 2's and come back with the results. This was either the weirdest fluke of all time, or the best mistake Verizon has ever made. Either way, I hope it works for youEdit 3: Well there's the January Patch This looks like it 'fixes' the bypass Correction: Nevermind, nothing is confirmed yet. And the people have decided there is no way this could be patched that quickly.Edit 4: I'm seeing way too many people posting about bricked phones. Please don't do this UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I cannot live knowing that someone ruined their phone with this method. Please be safe. SoloTSi97 has confirmed this does work on the January 5th security patch!Edit 5: There it is, we have people confirming the Verizon OTA being pushed this late January is patching the fastboot unlock method. Keep this in mind down the road guys.
