I'm trying to unlock my bootloader to root the phone. I can enable OEM Unlocking in the dev options. Then, once I connect the phone in fastboot mode and enter the unlocking command, I get the not allowed message. When I reboot the phone, the OEM Unlocking option is now disabled and greyed out.
I've factory reset at least three times, as well as updating to 8.1.
Edit: I tried every which way to unlock it. I tried a factory reset with a SIM. I tried doing the reset in recovery mode. I tried running the cmd prompt as administrator. I tried restarting after the factory reset. About the only thing I didn't try is a different cable since I have no adapters yet, but that shouldn't matter since it's correctly receiving the commands.
I contacted Google and am RMA'ing this phone and have ordered a new one. Hopefully the new one works.
2nd edit: The new phone works. Bootloader unlocked on the first try and am now rooted. One thing I noticed with the first phone is that the bootloader unlock permission toggle was set to on whenever I wiped or rebooted.
If you are having this problem, the only solution is to RMA for a new phone.
Do you use "fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader"? Do you have actual platform-tools?
# fastboot --version
fastboot version 27.0.0-4455170

Once it boots into fastboot, I enter "fastboot flashing unlock"
I have that same version of fastboot.
Is "Device State" locked or unlocked on bootloader screen? In Developer Options > OEM Unlocking for me is a second line with text: "bootloader already unlocked". What is yours?
Edit: Did you enable OEM Unlocking before fastboot flashing unlock?

Device state is locked
There's nothing under OEM unlocking saying that the bootloader is already unlocked.
Yes, I have enabled unlocking before booting into fastboot. I've done it five times now.
What's odd is if I use the unlock_critical command, I get "FAILED (remote: Device already : unlocked!)"

Facing the same issue in INDIA. Are you sure RMA is the only option ? I was hoping for Jan 2018 Security patch ! Worth to wait or RMA ?

Nothing I did fixed the problem. You can keep fighting with it and hope it eventually works, and possibly end up with a permanently locked bootloader.

Hello All ,
I have succefully unlocked the bootloader with following command !!!!!! Pixel 2 128 GB
C:\platform-tools>fastboot flashing lock_critical
...
OKAY [ 9.054s]
finished. total time: 9.056s
I dont know but after reading latest post on XDA and other Android related tech sites ,
I performed the above command and it worked for me ! I was about to RMA but this is what i wanted ! so no need to RMA now.
Again not to confuse with VERIZON variant , as my device was Google store unlocked In INDIA ! Strange but worked.

That command locks the bootloader, not unlocks. The unlock command is "fastboot flashing unlock". Critical is only needed for the Pixel 2 XL.

I really don't have any clue why it worked ! After reading latest post I executed the above command in leap of faith and it really worked ! Finally unlocked bootloader on pixel 2 128 Gb.

Hello,
I messed with my Pixel phone and now I feel it bricked. It was working fine until I update it to 8.0 Oreo. Then I rooted it using magisk.
Later, I decided to re-lock my bootloader, which was really a big mistake. I did re-lock it using the following command:
fastboot oem lock
It showed me if I lock my bootloader, it would wipe everything. I hit yes.
After that, this issue started, my phone won't start, as soon as the google logo shows up, it restarts and does the same thing everytime.
I tried to install the factory image, "sailfish" for Pixel 8.1.0, using the following command:
flash-all
it gave me an error message. It said I need to unlock the bootloader.
Of course, I tried to unlock the bootloader using the following command:
fastboot flashing unlock
It also gave me an error message, it said:
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
I don't know what else should I do. I tried to find a solution for my problem, but there is no clear answer.
One of the common solution is to enable the USB debugging/OEM unlocking from the developer settings. But, again, I can't even turn on my phone and use it normally.
The only thing that I can access to is the bootloader screen.
There are several threads which state "hey don't try relocking your bootloader for any reason" for a reason. You CANNOT relock these phones with ANY custom firmware or modifications. Your phone is bricked. You can try talking to Google and they /may/ rma your phone but there is 0 guarantee especially given that you did something that is a known feature and is intended to brick the phone. Can't hurt to try though

The issue that I'm having is that I am unable to unlock the bootloader even though I should be able to. Here are the steps i'm taking and where the issue happens.
Factory/Wipe reset
Tap about Pixel 2 7 times to get developer options
Go to developer options and enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
(I Can see that OEM unlocking is enabled).
Then I do "adb reboot bootloader"
and once in the bootloader, I do "fastboot flashing unlock"
Then it tellsme that Flashing Unlock is not allowed and when I go back to the developer options, the OEM Unlocking is greyed out and in the off position and I cannot re enable it no matter what. I have not being able to find anyone with this problem or a solution, any help would be appreciated.
I have tried the above steps many times with no luck, and every time the results are the same. It gives me the OEM Unlock option right after the factory reset, but one I do the "fastboot flashing unlock" it doesn't unlock the bootloader and then it locks the option in developer options.
I updated both ADB and fastboot to the latest version.
Edit #2: running the "fastboot flashing get-unlock-ability" command, returns a (1), which means that it should be able to be unlocked.
Edit #3: Tried to sideload OTA update using ADB and it does not solve the issue.
After factory image, did you reinstall the update? Maybe make sure the update has been completed in total (takes 2 reboots sometimes).
Try: fastboot oem unlock
Definitely a weird issue. Are you on Verizon’s network?
Edit: were you connected to the internet when you did the oem unlock in the developers options?
Edit 2: you have usb debugging enabled yeah?

I did not, I assumed that since it is the latest factory image, I did not needed to update, will try this ASAP.
USB Debugging is enabled.
I was connected to the internet when I did the OEM Unlock under developer options, I tried both connected and not connected to the internet. I tried to change the boot partition using fastboot and it does not allow to do so when in "locked" mode.
oem unlock returns that it is unable to be unlocked. (Sorry, not home now, but will post the actual error when I get back)
I am experiencing this issue also. I'm on my 2nd RMA device. The specific error I get after typing
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
is
Code:
FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed)
Any help is appreciated.

That is in fact the error I'm getting. I had the OG Pixel and the Pixel 2 rooted since the day they came out and never had a problem, and now with this RMA replacement, I'm having problems, but IDK what could be the cause because with a fresh factory reset, I can at least see the "OEM Unlock" under developer options, so I'm so confused.

My OEM Unlock option will "take" when I click it, but it's disabled again when I reboot.
If they're RMA replacements, there's a possibility you got a Verizon Pixel 2 instead of a Google. This happened to me as well, I just traded for my wife's Pixel 2, because she has no interest in BL Unlocking and all that goes with it. There have been others who kept returning phones until they got one that allowed BL Unlocking. If you purchased from Google originally, just tell them the problem and they should send you another RMA replacement, from what I've seen elsewhere.
Edit for clarification: Supposedly, they've been getting Verizon and Google Pixel 2s mixed up when they get refurbished.

Yes. This is the first time I tried to unlock this RMA, just got it a couple days ago. I have rooted all my android phones for the past 4-5 years and never had a problem similar to this show up before. The thing is that I really want to know what is happening at at deeper level, why is this happening, it doesn't make any sense at all because why would that option change if the fasboot flashing command is returning an error, also when I use "fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" it returns a (1) and not a (0), which means that it can be unlocked.
We'll see, I started the RMA process lets see what they say.

I don't remember where exactly I saw it, but in one of the commands, it tells you whether it's allowed to be unlocked. That's a firm 0 in that spot. Like I said, you likely ended up with a refurbished Verizon version. The only difference, to my knowledge, is that Verizon doesn't want you to unlock your bootloader.
There's already a whole thread about this. Please post there
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/oem-unlocking-grayed-vzw-pixel-2-t3776763/page5
Bottom line. Google pixel 2s refurbished RMAs are botched for OEM unlocking. There's a problem with their refurbishment procedures that makes it behave exactly like show here
Only solution is trying to convince them to send you a new RMA, but good luck with that.

Please visit this thread for more info. Though I need to mention there is no actual fix as of yet.
According to this thread( https://slickdeals.net/f/14948867-google-pixel-3-phone-64-gb-pink-169-99?page=16#commentsBox ), one could unlock the bootloader of a Verizon 3 with the following method. I have already installed this month's update, so I cannot test it for now. If you have a Verizon Pixel 3 and have not installed this month's update, can you test this?
"
remove sim (!!!) if you ran it before with the sim inside - remove sim and do factory reset TWICE
connect to wifi
let it download the update
DONT INSTALL UPDATE
go to About Phone -> Build Version. Click it 10 times until it tells you're the Developer now
go to Developer menu
wait until the OEM unlock option becomes clickable (happens after system update is downloaded, but NOT installed)
toggle OEM unlock (result: should be enabled)
Enable USB debug on the phone (also Developer menu)
connect the device to your win/mac/linux machine with adb installed with USB cable with data pins. Phone will ask if you authorize your PC to USB debug it
from your PC run : "adb reboot bootloader". That will reboot your phone to bootloader with message and status "locked"
from your PC while your phone is in fastboot mode: "fastboot flashing unlock" (that should respond with
OKAY [ 0.356s]
Finished. Total time: 0.368s)
You're good now. It's bootloader unlocked. you can install any updates. It will not lock itself and can install any other 3rd party firmware (on your risk, sure)"

That means that only never-used Verizon Pixel3 can be bootloader-unlocked using that method, and used Verizon Pixel3 phones has no chance of unlocking the bootloader, is that right?

I have given up. I will wait until the official software support from Google ends (later this year). End of support means that whatever exploit will be found will not be patched by Google, so if people could find a way to unlock the bootloader using some security vulnerabilities, the method will reliably work from that point on for ever.

So i received a american pixel 4 xl with a locked bootloader. imei starting with 35
i was able to unlock the bootloader here is the steps i took, note im in Australia.
Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers
developers.google.com
the firmware on the device was american,
i flashed my countrys firmware (australian) optus/telstra/vodaphone etc
use adb side load *firmware.zip*
factory reset , booted device on with australian sim,
and boom oem was available ,
(last step is to adb reboot bootloader,
and ./fastboot flashing unlock and you will see a message on pixel.
intially with the Original firmware on the device it would not unlock.. i tried factory reset
/ fastboot flashing unlock etc and it would not work...
anyhoo i have not seen anything on here suggested flashing another firmware origin so i thought this might help those with locked at&t / verison carriers, intially it was GREYED OUT AND SAID contact carrier or connect to the internet.
Hope this helps someone ! as all the forums ive swiped thru have said this is not do-able, lol turns out it is.

The firmware does not determine whether the bootloader is unlockable.
When the device connects to the Internet, it checks its IMEI against a whitelist on Google's servers. If it has been authorized for bootloader unlock, OEM Unlocking will become available.
If it doesn't, it's likely that you have a locked variant.

The OEM Unlocking toggle does not lock or unlock the bootloader itself. It simply allows you to unlock the bootloader when enabled.
If you want to relock your bootloader, you do this via ADB while in bootloader mode: fastboot flashing lock

For some reason I couldn't get into fastboot mode, "adb reboot bootloader" would just restart my device. If I booted into recovery, the "reboot into bootloader" option would just start up the phone. But I eventually found out I can lock the bootloader in download mode
I have a TracFone moto g pure (XT2163DL) running android 12, build number S3RHS32.20-42-13-2-1. I managed to get my oem unlock to show up and turned it on. First I tried using the Motorola unlock site to unlock my bootloader but it said it wasn't eligible. So then I tried using fastboot command "fastboot oem unlock" and a screen popped up telling me I can choose to unlock my bootloader and when I told it to unlock I received a message saying it was successful. But it isn't. It said it's unlocked but yet it is still locked anyway. I know TracFone has problems unlocking bootloader's but why would it let me get that far if it is impossible to unlock? Is there anything else I can do? If anyone knows something else I can try please point me in the right direction. I don't mind doing my homework after all that's how I learn but I'm just at a point where I need some guidance.please help me and always thank you so much for your time in advance...
If the bootloader reports unlocked, what makes you say it's still locked?

Nothing is wiped and it still says OEM secured on the fastboot page. The only difference now is when I try to reboot back into system it will first boot back into the bootloader again and then it will boot into system when I reboot a second time
