So I followed instructions on how to unlock bootloader on my pixel xl. And now I'm unable to connect to my network. I put the sim card in and it doesn't recognize it. I've tried multiple times to restart phone with no luck. So I did this last night and the only solution was to hard reset the phone once more. But that untenable that oem unlock function! So I unlocked it once more just now and I'm in the same situation! Should I proceed by unlocking oem and than do a hard reset? I'm not really sure how to proceed from here if someone could give me some insight i would really really appreciate it!!!

Are you saying that it isn't recognizing your SIM, and saying there is no SIM inserted, or are you saying that it's simply not applying the right APN settings and so you can't get cellular data and such
hi , its easy , just remove your sim card , and flash the phone again
Once you OEM unlock your phone a hard reset should not relock your phone. The only way your phone should relock is by using issuing the command OEM lock or OEM flashing lock.
There is an issue with some phones and systems where the "allow OEM unlocking" check box will come unchecked, this doesn't mean the phone is relocked though.
I got it figured out thanks! Now I'm just trying to install twrp but I'm not having much luck lol

You have to boot to TWRP from fastboot with the TWRP image file and then flash TWRP from within that recovery.

It is stuck on a screen with the battery. I can get to bootloader mode but cannot get into recovery. Bootloader is locked... Please help
Basically I had the bootloader unlocked and it was rooted. I unrooted the phone and then I locked the bootloader and I am here now. Just wanted to make it go back to stock.
Is it a carrier model or a play store

There probably isn't, if you've altered system and relock and toggle OEM unlocking off in dev. options you get bricked.

Did you try:
fastboot flashing unlock
Since you only relocked, you unlikely toggled "OEM unlock"?!
If it fails, I think you are SOL. Maybe someone with a proper solution will chime in. Otherwise, you have to RMA your device...
Good luck...

Hey... Go into recovery and perform a factory reset.
Reboot bootloader and flash stock firmware. You could flash both slots to be sure your device is completely clean.
I wrote a how-to for someone having another issue. You.can follow this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71849370&postcount=28
When you are finished with flashing, reboot to be sure your system boot properly and your phone works as it should...
From here you can reboot into bootloader and issue:
fastboot flashing lock
If It was me I'd leave it unlocked though... Or at least OEM unlock enabled and ADB debugging ON. Since Google tend to release messed up OTA, you can always unlock the bootloader if needed.
But if you wish you can also disable the OEM unlock.
Good luck...

I'm pretty inexperienced with this kind of stuff and so you might have to explain it a bit further than what that link says. I did fastboot reboot bootloader in terminal but it can't find my device. Also I couldnt get into recovery when it was bricked so I probably still can't

Hey...
You boot into bootloader when the Device is powered off
Just like in your video: with power + volume down
You can see infos regarding:
Bootloader
Radio
S/N
DRAM
Boot-slot=
Etc...
This is the bootloader :good:
From here, unzip the google image you have downloaded, open the folder and from here run the flash-all script. Let your device reboot. Power it down, boot into bootloader again with power + volume down. Change active slot as I described in the link I gave you previously. Run the same flash-all again... Done!
Just for safety, remove your Google account before you continue. You'll add it again later...
Good luck...

Hey... Flash both slots... Just to be sure both are clean and nothing problematic​ remains on your device before locking your bootloader!
It could brick installing an OTA or whatever. Better restart 100% clean. :good:
Cheers...
Just flash the flash-all, relock and call it a day. Then you'll be fully stock and locked. I would however recommend rebooting once before locking to make sure its all good.

Hey man I have the same problem you can try calling Google support they can send you a replacement if you still have a warranty
my warranty has expired so I'm on my own
My non-Verizon Pixel XL is stuck with a locked bootloader, OEM Unlocking Disabled, and is unable to boot to recovery, or the system (thus I cannot enable OEM unlocking). When I try to boot, it has the red message stating that my device is corrupt, then it turns off and does not boot.
How can I fix this?
I has AOSPA installed before this all went down, but I agree I made some dumb moves, and I am hoping someone here can help me out of this hole.
How did you lock your bootloader with AOSPA still installed? You always go back to stock before re-locking your bootloader. That was a pretty big mistake, and I'm not so sure there is a way around this.
If it's a Google Pixel XL, then try booting into fastboot (hold Power+Volume Down), run the "fastboot oem unlock" command, without quotes to unlock the bootloader, and flash a stock image.
Hope it works.

Can you unlock the bootloader from the bootloader screen with ADB command like you said when "allow OEM unlocking" in developer options has not been enabled? I'm sure that I could do that when I had the Nexus 6 but haven't tried it with my Pixel XL.
I think the command now is: fastboot flashing unlock

I don't think you can, it's why I wasn't sure it would work, but still worth an attempt. I used fastboot oem unlock when I unlocked my bootloader, so I guess the old command still works, but yeah, fastboot flashing unlock is the new way of doing it. :good:

I've tried it and none of that works. The device is on its way back to Google since I just got a Google coverage plan replacement. Hopefully, they won't pitch a fit that it's locked up the way it is.

Unlikely. Are they going to attempt a repair, or just outright replace the phone?
I'm not yet adept on the ins and outs of flashing stuff on this phone. Is it actually possible to flash a custom Rom on the Pixel XL while the bootloader is locked? I know it's not something anyone who values their phone would even attempt but with most phones you could never do it anyway. I understand there is a temporary TWRP that you can boot into without actually installing the custom recovery on your phone. Does this make it possible to do what happened with this user?

You have to have to unlock your bootloader to install any custom rom on the pixel.
Hey did you ever solve this? im in a similar prediciment. My phone keeps bootlopping, trying to flash an older ROM but bootloader is locked and none of the fastboot oem unlock commands work.

The bootloader unlock for the Verizon Pixel/Pixel XL is working. Go here to unlock it.
Not sure what is going on here. I have a Pixel 3XL that let's me click the OEM unlock. When I restart the phone it still says it's shows the OEM is unlocked, but it shows it's locked in fastboot mode and will not let me flash a recovery image. It's a new phone and I have not put a SIM card in it yet. anyone been through this and found a solution?
If I had read the Wiki more closely I would have seen that I was only allowing the OEM to be unlock. The unlocking took place in another step.
Check it out I got the same thing. I just got a replacement 3XL last week and it's allowing me to unlock it are you saying it's not going to work if I try to unlock the bootloader because I have my original 3xl still and it's grayed out.. don't answer me either I'm surprised you didn't answer me you got the same s*** going that I do ?
I have been trying to root my S22 but continually run into the problem of OEM Unlocking. Everyone says just about the first thing to do is to select OEM Unlocking on the Developers Options but it isn't there. I even following one set of directions to try to make it show up but it didn't work either. I can't seem to get to the rooting without the OEM Unlocking. Anyone have any ideas? It doesn't have to do when I purchased the device which is what one person suggested but didn't help.

If this is a Snapdragon device, unlocking the bootloader most likely isn't possible.
Try this;
Remove the SIM
Factory reset
Skip through the setup wizard, DO NOT connect to WiFi or insert the SIM
After initial setup finishes, enable developer options
Manually set time at least 1 week ahead from now
Wait a few minutes
Check to see if OEM Unlocking is available

Your are right. Snapdragon won't let you unlock bootloader. Tried your steps and of course it didn't work.

Hello everyone
I'm stuck in a horrible situation here if someone might be able to help would be a great help.
So basically I want to Unlock my phones bootloader but it happens to be that the Phone network is broken, I mean there is some issue with the motherboard where even If you insert a Sim it shows No SIM as. So I've been using this device just for surfing Yt and stuff.
So when I try to unlock the bootloader by going into the Developer option > Unlock Status and it needs a SIM card inserted to add device and account.
Is there a work around to bypass this.
What I have tried so far using MI unlock tool but it throws error.

after long time searching and tryng out both official and non official methods for unlocking bootloader, or at least bypass it I find this method which was 100% perfectly worked and made me able to flash any other custom rom or recovery
