Fastboot version: 31.0.2-7242960
The oem unlock option is greyed out but i want to unlock my bootloader the fastboot version is above anyone has solution please tell me.
Pixel 2 xl is carrier of verizon But i cant access the verizon. so, is there alternate way to enable oem unlock and unlock the bootloader.
The Verizon Pixel 2XL bootloader cannot be unlocked and there are no alternate methods of unlocking it. As a result the only real options are to use the device as is or sell it

Hey guys and gals, I enabled developer mode and noticed that this device has the OEM unlock option not sure if that is similar to the nexus 6 as far as unlocking the bootloader to root but pretty sure it may be..fingers crossed and I wouldn't take any rom updates until we know further about root.
Yeah notice the same thing on my phone. I enable but not sure what it does yet.

The OEM Unlock does not unlock the bootloader, it only "allows" the bootloader to be unlocked.
If you don't allow the bootloader to be unlocked then you can't flash roms, kernels and you can't
root the phone.
This is why the verizon and at&t Note 5 and S6 Edge+ phones cannot be rooted and they cannot
have custom roms and kernels. They lack the the option of OEM Unlock because they have locked
bootloaders which is unlike our phones. The bootloader in our phones are not locked.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
My Verizon Edge+ has OEM Unlock on it, but I have no idea what it does. I'm searching the internet to see if anyone knows.

The important thing is to always leave the OEM Unlock enabled.
But as I said before, doing that will NOT unlock the bootloader.
It only allows for unlocking the bootloader if the bootloader is
unlock-able. (which is not the case with Verizon's bootloader)
Good luck,
Have a great evening!
Hi
Just got an carrier unlocked AT&T T837, enable the developer mode and activated and use more than 2 week, still can find OEM unlock in developer mode, so how to enable unlocked or can we root it without OEM unlocked ?
Thanks

All carrier models are bootloader locked and cannot be rooted. The only models that can be unlocked are the T830 and T835
I dont know why I only see no bootloader unlock and no root for verizon pixel 2 xl phones in Google searches. I bought a used phone a verizon one buyer code VRX was on android 10 november security i some how enabled OEM UNLOCKING and tried fastboot unlock critical command and i am now bootloader unlock with root magisk.
So verizon users if I have BL unlock so can you. Just try the command. I cannot express that feeling when I saw the bootloader unlock splash screen. I had given up after seeing searches of no root until one day I input the command.
Good Luck.
I heard you can unlock Bootloader on vrz pixel 2 xl? i using model verizon 2 xl with buyer code is VRX like you, but already try many methods to try unlock and... not success.
I wonder, you using what method to unlock it?
Thanks

dude ill just say it was luck. idk how oem unlock option stopped being greyed out and i enabled it and after few days i said lets try that command and i was bootloader unlock. I was on Android 10 November build. Maybe that has to do something. You cannot downgrade on Locked Bootloader as far as i know.
Man you lucky. I'm on March 2020 update, no OEM unlock available to me
Hello,
I've got a refurbished Pixel 3 XL with an US VZ Board. The interesting thing is that on this device is the normal variant of the firmware installed without any Verizon stuff. So now I wanted to unlock the bootloader and OEM Unlocking is greyed out. So my thought now is that maybe the device was bootloader unlocked to flash the firmware variant without Verizon stuff and then relocked. Without Verizon firmware there shouldn't be anything blocking OEM Unlocking.
Am I right that I just need to wait about 7 days before I am allowed to enable OEM Unlocking?
Tell me if I'm wrong with something.
Thanks
I want to unlock my bootloader but in order to do so I need to turn oem unlocking on but the option won't show in developer options. Any eat to bypass this and use eg.adb or is there a way to get oem unlocking shown?
