After Oreo 8.1 update, OEM unlock toggle does not work

[netma2k]

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

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.

But I never unlocked my boot loader and still it appears to be grayed out. Thanks for your reply.

Is your device a "Google phone" or is it through a carrier?

Mine is an unlocked phone purchased from Google Store and never buy phones from Carrier. Thanks for asking

Is it stuck in the locked position or the unlocked position?

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.

Then, could I downgrade safely to Android 6??

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.
