Is it a Verizon phone? If so, there is no solution. It is BL locked.

Try flashing the latest factory images with the Google flash tool. If that doesn't work, then you've probably bought a Verizon one (or one of those ones customized by FBI to track criminals, lol).

Hello guys, I have a small problem after locking my oem bootloader with fastboot after having to reset the marlin image it is no longer letting me unlock it, so I'm stuck with stock, is there anyway to fix this?

Try Depixel8?
Depixel 8 doesn't work because the bootloader won't unlock
Hi All,
I got a bestbuy/verizon pixel xl and am unable to unlock my bootloader to install TWRP and Root my pixel
So, while i was searching for methods to root without unlocking bootloader, i found articles on rooting without TWRP. Is this method still supported on 7.1.2 and Verizon set pixel?

You can not root it unless you unlock the bootloader. It has always been that way.

If yours is a Google version then it doesn't matter what update you are on, it will still be unlockable.
How do you know what version you have? I got my phone from Verizon but there is no bloat or Verizon anything on it. Could I possibly have a variant that can be unlocked?

Simple, go to Setting/About phone, and tab the Build number text 5 times. Go back to Setting and select Developer options. If the OEM unlocking option is grayed out, it's a Verizon Pixel/XL, if you can toggle the slidder on and off, it's a Google Pixel/XL and can be bootloader unlocked anytime you want, regardless of update.
Seeing as how you purchased it directly from Verizon, I'm fairly certain it's a Verizon Pixel/XL. Any phone purchased directly from Google's Online Store, will always have the option to unlock their bootloader whenever they want.
Thank you. Unfortunately it is gray.

What version of Android are you on. If it's on 7.1 still then you can still unlock.
Since I have enrolled my Pixel XL in Android beta program, I have received Oreo 8.1 update OTA last night. After the update, OEM unlock in developer options does not work. Anyone have the same issue ? Thanks
Fine here

Same problem the button is gray and says bootloader already unlocked.
That is normal if you are already unlocked, and it was like that before 8.1. It won't un-gray until you issue the fastboot command to relock it. It stops you from sliding while unlocked and creating a situation where you are bricked.

I would unenroll, which will wipe your phone and then hit the slider and leave it there. It might be a bug that will be fixed later but I wouldn't chance it if I wanted to unlock later on.

That is very strange
You are using beta software.
Google doesn't want you to lock the bootloader when using beta software.
Go back to 8.0 and see what happens.

If the bootloader is unlock, the rollback protection will be desactivated. Not?
I can confirm on mine that OEM unlock is also grayed out on 8.1 DP. Also grayed out in the screenshots on Android Police.

I think the joke was, this device never came with Marshmallow. They were saying if you can get Marshmallow to run on this, then let us know.
Unlocked rooted 8.0 not enrolled in beta.
My unlock button is Not grayed out. Wish it was as it would be easy to accidentally tick the button. Maybe 8.1 fixed this?

An accidental tick won't hurt you, you still have to hit it with fastboot and issue the command.

You may have to call Google. I think that some versions sold/purchased in the EU have a 6 month waiting period before they can get an unlocking code ?

If it originally came from EE it is locked, but EE can unlock it. Did you factory reset it? That also was a bug and the reset cleared it.

Factory reset it then connect to the internet. Early on Google shipped a bunch that had this problem. The fixed it on their end but it requires a fact reset.

Just to be clear, being SIM unlocked and bootloader unlocked are two completely different things. Are you sure the advertising for it being "unlocked" wasn't referring to the SIM status?

Google version does have an unlockable bootloader. The question is are you 100% positive it's the Google version you bought/received and not the Verizon version?

I looked for the cid of the phone and it appears that the phone isn't from Verizon. And the seller also told me that he bought the phone from Google store
It's likely the previous owner tried to unlock the bootloader and failed. By the looks of things the only current way to fix it is RMA to Google.

What version of android is it currently on?
After the factory reset, did you set the phone up at all, or just go to settings to try and enable it?
Set the phone up, connect it to WiFi and let it update system apps. You dont have to set the phone up completely, but let it connect to the internet and update.
Once thats done reboot it and skip thru any setup then go to settings and enable dev options and see if it is toggle-able.
Also make sure you are using the latest adb/fastboot.

Hello All,
I ordered a brand new never-opened Pixel XL from Amazon. I was wondering, what would be the fastest way to update it to Android 10? It most likely will be on 7.1.1 out of the box. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!:angel:

If the IMIE starts with 35 it is a Verizon Pixel XL the bootloader is locked. Before you update you may want to try and unlock the bootloader.
Settings ==> Advanced ==> System updates
Is the bootloader unlocked

It might be 'Carrier Unlocked', that is not the same as bootloader unlocked. Carrier unlock means you should be able to use it on any carrier. Bootloader unlock means you can root it.

It was carrier unlocked, and it works perfectly well. It is on Android 8.0.0 and is offering to update directly to Android 10. Is it possible to do that?
