If I flash the latest OTA via TWRP. That would get me back to Stock no? Then once booted I could remove my google account. Boot into fastboot then ADB lock the bootloader and that should be that. I'm I correct?
If the ota has a boot.img in it probably but I'm not positive

Yes it will. Twrp will be replaced (if you have it installed) with the stock recovery. But why do you want to lock the bootloader?
Edit, I just saw your other post. If you want to sell it I'd flash the factory image so it wipes your device. Then skip the Google setup and lock the bootloader.

SO I made a n00b mistake and accidentally reloacked bootloader trying to flash a fresh system image. I wanted to go back to stock after being rooted and unlocked.
Now i get the red screen of death and it just shuts off the phone. No recovery seems to be installed.
What do I do? Do I throw it in the garbage? Or is there a way to salvage this device?
Bootloader is locked and will not let me unlock again.
Thanks.

Yes only into bootloader. Can't unlock again though. Won't let me.

I don't have the Pixel, so I'm going off of what I know from the 6P.
Does the Toolkit work for the Pixel? There has to be a way to get it working if you can get into bootloader.

I am not sure. I think I need Unlocked bootloader.
Actually i think you just need to reunlock using depixel8. That should unlock your bootloader and allow you to flash new firmware
Did you try using dePixel8 to to unlock your bootloader back? I would try that.

You have to be booted in Android for dePixel8 to work.
Am I missing something? why can't you just flash factory image again from the bootloader and then unlock your bootloader with the depixel8?

He said that he tried to unlock the bootloader again and it won't let him. With a locked bootloader, you can't flash the system images.

My mind is blown on how you accomplished this. Did you ERASE the partitions and then plan on flashing stock ones yourself? Why not just run the script (flash-all.bat) that would have automatically done the ENTIRE process for you, except re-locking the bootloader?
If all you did was re-lock the bootloader, it should have done a factory reset on the next boot and used the existing system partition. If you erased the system partition and then re-locked the bootloader, you are almost certainly screwed and had better hope Google has some mercy to let you RMA the phone.
Couple options you could try off the top of my head. The pixel has A/B patitions try adb sideloading an update zip to get it to switch to the backup partition that might still be there.
You could also try downloading the Factory images and extracting the system and go into fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot boot system system.img
and see if that works. Then if it boots on the temp image run deadpixel8 or whatever its called and reflash the stock image with the flash-all.bat.
have the same problem on my pixel after accidentally relocking after root before flashing back to stock.
Does anyone have the stock pixel xl recovery.img? I thinking if I boot into recovery "fast boot boot recovery.img" then I can add side load etc the ota from google.

You could try fastboot. Install recovery that way. Should overwrite twrp

Where does one find the factory recovery images? They aren't contained in the Factory zips.

In a zip inside the zip. Boot.img
But I almost guarantee if you update to latest SDK Platform Tools thru android studio that flash-all will probably work..

Managed to get it back to stock with the Skipsoft toolkit. What is it that makes the toolkit different in the way it flashes the file versus the flash-all?

When I had my Nexus 6 I never used a toolkit. I'll probably never use one for my pixel either. The flash all is extremely efficient. I have heard people using toolkits before and them getting bricks because there bootloader locked and they couldn't unlock again and then they bootlooped. Edit: mostly because of Enable OEM Unlock button.
I'm going to be exchanging my pixel and getting another one. Just curious so I know for the future.. if I flash the full factory image via fastboot does that relock the bootloader? I'm gonna guess that it doesn't but just wanna make sure.
New to adb and fastboot so I've been reading around like crazy trying to learn. Is the only way to lock again to use the actual lock command in fastboot?
Edit: I'm referring to using the flash-all.bat script
Yes, you will have to re-lock the bootloader. Do it with fastboot in the bootloader.
Although, you don't have to re-lock the bootloader before sending your phone back... Especially since it will have the stock image flashed to it.

No. Flashing the factory image does not relock the bootloader. After you have successfully rebooted, return to the bootloader and use the command: fastboot oem lock

Right click the flash-all script, and choose edit (or something like that) from the drop down menu. In the last line where it says "fastboot -w update..." delete the "-w". Then just use this flash-all.

Correct. Let me ask you, do you have any modifications to your Pixel? Root, TWRP, custom kernel? If not, you'd be better off with ADB sideload.

I have root and that's it. So if I'm understanding correctly, I would put the factory image zip in the platform tools folder and extract it there, open a command window from that folder and run this command fastboot flash-all
Is that correct?

In fact, on Windows I think you can just double click the flash-all.bat file (I'm on Linux, so I'm not 100% positive). Yes to your other questions. As long as nothing goes wrong.

Hi everyone,
I flashed pixel rom and my bootloader has changed to that of pixel with all the white and new icons.
Is there a way that i can revert back to the old black bootloader that came out of the box. I wish to come back to the old hence the new one doesn't seem to have access to the adb
Thanks,
Charles

How to go back to stock.. Please helppppp?? The new bootloader in this rom doesnot allow me to flash stock image. Help pleaseeee
Do you have fastboot working? If yes, simply flash sock ROM via fastboot: https://developers.google.com/android/images
If no, maybe flashing TOT can help you (I didn't test): https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/req-help-to-unbrick-t3251740
Hey, I unlocked my bootloader using fastboot like I've done 100 times.
After that I flashed the newest TWRP for the 5x and then it wouldn't decrypt my data.
I figured I'd boot into android but it's just stuck in the boot animation, what can I do?
Edit:
I can't keep the bootloader unlocked, as soon as I reboot anywhere, it's locked again.

Can you boot into the bootloader? if you can try reflashing it back stock also when you flashed the latest TWRP, did you flash via fastboot or did you flash it in twrp?

Yes, I can boot, the issue seems to be that the bootloader won't stay unlocked.
As soon asni restart it's locked again. I think that's why twrp can't encrypt my partition. And that somehow messes up the Android installation.
Any ideas why the bootloader won't stay unlocked?

You have a phone with a replaced motherboard just like the individual in the link below. If the phone was recently replaced, I recommend getting another refurb. If that's not possible, the reddit link in this thread may be helpful for you:
