^What he said ^

Both the Pixels I got from the Verizon store had the 3 Verizon apps on them - which were easily deleted.

It may, or it may not - I'd suggest using the phone until the end of the "trial" period and see where you are at then. If the lens flare is really bad, maybe the phone is bad, check with the dealer. In the end, if you are not happy, do what you gotta do to be happy. Too many choices to get...

I am an analogy book.

I am very happy with my Blue Pixel. Will look at the Pixel 2 when it arrives and get one if I like it, just to keep up with the latest. S8 is a Saturday night street walker in very high heels. Pixel is a 4x4 Chevrolet Silverado going through\over everything life throws in its way. Yep - that...

If you check around, I think you'll find the Pixel XL is a very good phone, and should not disappoint you. No phone is "everything to everybody" so you have to decide if the "good things" on the XL are good enough for you and the "bad things" are not too bad for you. If you can get your hands...

Yes, from the link in the OP. Later today I am going to re-try the method in the link you posted above https://developers.google.com/android/images#instructions There is something to this method that I am not grasping a hold of. While all this is frustrating, it's what makes messing with...

Right you are - tried to do it on an RTM Install - same results - can read 7.1.1 image but not the developer image - I have d/l several O images just to be sure I got good ones - who knows??

Thanks for the idea - I tried side loading the last 7.1.1 factory image and adb read it OK - appears to be an issue with the "O" developer image. ETA - tried your idea - will not read "O" update but will read the latest factory image fine - ????? - I'm using the latest Windows Insider 10 build...

No luck - time time to step away from the phone - thanks for your efforts.

peter, I've been using this method - http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/12/guide-how-to-use-adb-sideload-to-update-a-nexus-without-root-or-custom-recovery/ going to study your previous post and give'r a try - thanks again for your time and effort - I may get the O version installed about 2...

Thank you - will give it a try....

Tried to install - "adb cannot read the .zip file" - d/l again - same thing. I have run into this before - now all I have to do is recall what I did to get it squared away.

I did that for the blue pixel - I like to try different things - makes having phones more fun.

No tape involved. WAIT - did you mean tape over the camera lens - this would probably work - good idea.
