<p>It's best practice to update the stock OS on the device to make sure it's running
the latest firmware before proceeding with these instructions. This avoids running
into bugs in older firmware versions. It's known that the early Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
bootloader versions have weird quirks with unlocking. There aren't known issues on
other devices, but this is still a good idea. You can either do this via over-the-air
updates or sideload a full update from their

into bugs, missing features or other differences in older firmware versions. Early
Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL bootloader versions use a non-standard unlocking system not
covered by these installation instructions. You can either update the device via
over-the-air updates or sideload a full update, which for Pixel phones can be obtained
from the <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/ota">full update package
page</a>.</p>
