The Google Pixel, the successor to the Nexus line of Android phones, was released October 20th 2016. The Pixel was a new era mobile device, and was billed as a security rival to the iPhone. Unlike the Nexus line, not all were bootloader unlockable. Three carriers chose to limit the ability to unlock the bootloader, Verizon in the USA, EE in the UK, and Telus in Canada. This talk will cover the three low level bootloader vulnerabilities we found and exploited during the first week of Pixel release. These vulnerabilities were given high severity ratings by Qualcomm and Google. We ultimately publicly unlocked the bootloader of the locked Pixel variants, by releasing the "dePixel8" tool.
