I have a Google Pixel 4XL that I want to have the bootloader unlocked on to install stuff on it. The OEM Unlocking option is greyed out in the system developer options menu, but I would like to know if there is a way to manually unlock the bootloader with adb and fastboot. When I boot the phone into fastboot mode, I see that the bootloader is locked.

  • Usually Google devices should be bootloader unlockable. Is this a plain Google phone or is it branded by a mobile network operator? Or is some mobile device management software installed (from a company for remote administration)? BTW: Stackoverflow is for programming questions not for Android hacking. https://android.stackexchange.com would be a better place to ask (unfortunately Android Stackexchange is not in the list of migration targets - @community does somebody know why?) so I can't move your question there.. – Robert Jan 22 '22 at 18:44
  • @Robert A) Thanks for telling me about android.stackexchange.com and B) I'm not sure what it is. I bought it off of Ebay and it was described as "Unlocked". It doesn't show any carrier logos on boot up like some androids. – Matthias Lee Jan 22 '22 at 21:54
  • Have you tried to simply unlock it in flashboot state? May be the bootloader was unlocked and then relocked. I am not sure if afterwards OEM unlock in settings is required again. – Robert Jan 22 '22 at 23:57

    I’m voting to close this question because it belongs on Android Enthusiasts. – TDG Jan 24 '22 at 15:28

You can try fastboot oem unlock-go or fastboot flashing unlock to did this. When I tried flashing unlock, it is works
