EDIT: Resolved: While the OS had said it was up-to-date when I originally checked. It was not. After a bit of time it alerted me that an update was available. After updating the OS the OEM Unlocking option was no longer disabled.
I purchased a Pixel XL specifically from Google Store because I wanted to receive either an bootloader unlocked or bootloader unlockable phone without resorting to any hacks that may not work in the future. It just arrived and I enabled Developer Options and enabled USB Debugging. However, the OEM Unlocking option is off and disabled (greyed).
I booted into the bootloader, it shows as locked. If I try to unlock it I get:
>fastboot flashing unlock
...
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.051s
If I try to flash it with the temporary TWRP boot up image:

Did you go into Developer options is Settings and enable OEM unlocking first? If you don't have Developer Options in settings go to Settings/About Phone and then tap Build Number a bunch of times to enable it.

Thanks for your help ilatimer1, but I have resolved it now. I had edited the original post to indicate this but probably should have followed up at the end for your sake. I was just trying to avoid bumping it. At the time I asked the question, I mentioned that that option was disabled.
When I originally setup the phone I didn't enter WiFi data since I knew a factory reset would occur when I unlocked the bootloader. However, as a result of this, I didn't get alerted to the presence of an OS update. Ultimately, I setup WiFi and discovered the availability of an update. I proceeded to update and the OEM Unlocking feature then became enabled. Thanks again.
I unwapped and went stright to fastboot. didn't know update needed. thanks
Same issue unresolved
When I go into developer options OEM unlocking is still greyed out even after I downloaded the software update. Any leads on what to do?

The Pixels purchased from Verizon do not have unlockable bootloaders, so the switch will stay greyed out. If it is still on 7.0, you can use dPixel8 to bypass and unlock the bootloader. If you updated to 7.1.1, you are stuck with a locked bootloader.

The Allow OEM Unlocking switch asks for a PIN? Do you have a PIN set up for the lockscreen? I'm guessing that's what it's asking for. Your contract status with ATT has nothing to do with the bootloader status. If you think so, just try it without your SIM card in it.

This is a new, surprisingly under-the-radar thing you have to do. It got me at first, too when I tried to unlock it before first boot.
Another question.
I accidentally tapped and disabled Developer Options. When I reenabled it, the OEM Unlocking option was disabled. Did just RELOCK it?
EDIT:
It seems like its still unlocked.
When I tried to do a direct factory image of 8.1 I got this message:
--------------------------------------------
Bootloader Version...: TMZ10n
Baseband Version.....: g8998-00164-1710262031

Device version-bootloader is 'TMZ10n'.

Press any key to exit...
So the 8.1 factory image kinda expect Bootloader TMA12a. So I have to run OTA first before I can apply factory image. The reason I like using factory image is that my brother's 128GB Black was having issue with runaway Google Play Service consuming 40% of the battery.
Did you unlock the bootloader and critical partition too?

Yes.
It looks like you forget to "flash bootloader" to the latest version "TMZ12A", it included in the factory image zip
Trying to figure out the same thing on my end, just flashing a fresh install of 8.1 on my already updated 8.1 device. I'm on Verizon, but not on a Verizon model. So, my bootloader should be unlockable. But in Dev Options, OEM unlocking is unavailable. Bootloader TMZ12a. Haaalp.

I just got a new Pixel XL 2 from someone. Never activated, blah blah blah. Model G011C. I also have the OEM unlocking greyed out. Little to no information on whether or not this is a Google or Version version. I tried the factory reset from within the factory recovery menu, but that didn't enable my OEM unlock button. Is there something I'm missing here?
When i set up my P2 XL, the option was greyed out until i let it connect to the network.
This is a Google, not vzw version device.

Hi guys need some help right now.
OnePlus 5T. Had it rooted and SuperSu installed. Ended up deciding not to have it rooted so used the Full Clean SuperSu unroot. This was successfuly, and after a few days Iwanted to lock the bootloader as well, so went into fastboot and used the fastboot oem lock.
After that, I ended up getting a loop of:
"Your device is corrupt. it can't be trusted and will not boot. Visit this link on another device"
From research, I can see that flashing would be the best option. However, trying to flash through fastboot results in an error:
"OKAY [ 0.442s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State)"
Any suggestions please?
Are you able to fastboot unlock it again?

no, it doesnt allow it through fastboot. I assume it is because when it locked the bootloader, it refreshed the OEM Unlock option from developer options.
Did you see this thread?
[GUIDE] Restore to complete stock and relock bootloader. Easiest step by step guide.
The order is very important. You must restore to complete stock before re-locking the bootloader. That includes recovery. When this is all over, google "what is bootloader?" to see what it does.
Also, questions do not belong in the How-To section. Another moderator will be along shortly to move it into the Help/Q&A section.

Edit: Just wait 7 days... or Change your system date to 8 days ago And search for an update, then restart your phone, fix the date, search for an update and restart again.

You don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash stock (official) ROMs, but you can not downgrade without OEM unlock.
Try to change your system date to 8 days ago, restart and search for official updates on config menu. Restart again, change the date for today and search again for an update. Restart third time and see if OEM unlock is tickable... That's what I did..
I already do it and nothing, so I intend to install the manual ROM and I do not know if it can be installed without unlocking the botloader

I Didn't understand what you said. Don't you know which rom is installed? Just see the name/version on config/about. If you are on a custom ROM, you already have an unlocked bootloader.
If you want to be sure. Just flash the latest stock version to your model and flash without unlocking your bootloader.

No, it's not necessary unlocked bootloader to flash stock ROMs. Locked bootloader's will block a downgrade attempt. If you are flashing the same version or a new one, you are blgoot to go. Nothing to worry. The unlocked bootloader is recommended so you can downgrade or install a custom recovery if something goes wrong.

What does your flashfile.bat look like? Maybe you ask in the other thread if someone has a working flashall. Then go from there. I have a suspicion that you have the famous false locked bootloader, but that can only be confirmed by trying to flash an official stock firmware. I have an idea on how to remedy that if that is indeed the case. First though, you should try and find a proper flashall for your firmware, ask in this thread. Someone there should have what you need. That thread deal specifically with your variant, so most anything you need will come from there.

This "slots" fails is all about the new a/b slots format present on Oreo ROMs.I believe this fail occurs because you are on nougat ROM.

Hi all, just got myself an open box Razr for a good price. Unfortunately whilst the phone was described as being a factory unlocked model, it's an ATT variant (XT2071-2). I'm already having ATT unlock the phone for use on my carrier, as it does seem to be eligible for it, but I was wondering if there's any way to flash the stock factory unlocked firmware once I get it carrier unlocked. Not to keen on keeping the ATT bloat on it.
Thanks I'm advance guys.
edit: Also I'm not a stranger to simple and stuff and bootloader unlocking, so I'm entirely willing to go that route if it means no carrier bloat lol .
I'm not sure if the AT&T variant is able to be bootloader unlocked, but if so, it should be able to be cross flashed, I'm currently running the SoftBank Android 11 update on my T-Mobile XT2071-5, without any issues.

Thanks for the reply man. I went ahead and checked and the ATT version is bootloader unlockable. Honestly though ATT is giving me trouble with unlocking this phone so I may not end up going through with the flash. In the case that they do unlock it, may I ask where you'd get the other software versions and how you flash them?

lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
Flash using mfastboot

That's not true! The AT&T device loader cannot be unlocked. Moreover, it is not even possible to get the code with the oem get_unlock_data command:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) Failed to get unlock data.
OKAY [ 0.007s]
Finished. Total time: 0.008s

I confirm that AT&T model XT2071-2 even if sim unlocked can't be cross flashed to different firmware (like XT2071-3, XT2071-4, etc) since XT2071-2 model have locked bootloader and it doesn't qualify for Motorola bootloader unlock program.
I have Razr 2020 AT&T sim unlocked phone, 'oem get_unlock_data command' run succesfully, but generated code was not accepted my Motorola for bootloader unlock key. That is common story for carrier exclusive Motorola models (AT&T, Verizon).
Appreciate responce if anyone aware of other possible options to unlock unlockable bootloader. I recall for old Droid models there was some paid alternatives to get phone fully unlocked.
Thanks,
This phone is a black hole. I tried everything to unlock this night couldn't even get fast boot going. And I've been doing this since the milestone
