OEM unlocking

If you have a Verizon phone or a Pixel One that an OTA update has disabled your ability to activate OEM Unlocking, at of June 2019 (or perhaps in the future) it is still possible to crack the system and enable OEM unlocking, but it is a little tricky and takes patience. In fact, I had to repeat the entire process because the first time it failed to work, and the second time it finally worked and worked very well.
