I have a Pixel 3A device in which I need to unlock the bootloader mode. I have Mac with Big Sur.
Steps followed:
- Connect Pixel via the type-c cable.
- Enable USB debugging & OEM unlocking toggle.
- Installed latest adb/fastboot tool and Android File Transfer Tool.
- Run adb devices
- device is shown with its serial number
- Android File transfer tool detects the device, and shows its contents.
- Run adb reboot bootloader
- device goes into "fastboot" mode, as visible on its screen.
- Run fastboot devices gives no result
- Run adb devices gives no result.
I have also tried manually putting device into fastboot mode using the combination of volume up key & the power button, but the device is still not shown.
Is there a way for MAC to detect device in fastboot mode? Is there any other way to unlock OEM?
Please anyone/any help is appreciated, kind of stuck in a desperate situation. Thanks
