adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid
doesn't return anything and I don't see it so i assume it's gone and from an older version?
adb shell getprop | grep carrier
[ro.carrier]: [unknown]
[ro.carriersetup.vzw_consent_page]: [true]
[ro.gwfcactivation.disabled_carriers]: [1492]
[setupwizard.feature.show_pai_screen_in_main_flow.carrier1839]: [false]
[setupwizard.feature.skip_button_use_mobile_data.carrier1839]: [true]
If I'm understanding this correctly carrier1839 = Verizon Wireless?
So I would need to contact them but does that ever really work? I guess I just have to return it?
P.S. What prevents one from modifying this? I guess it's basically read-only and protected through hardware verified boot mumbo jumbo? Bootloader exploit would be needed and they aren't apparently available for these newer pixels?
Any help appreciated.
