Google Pixel 2XL Non-Verizon Bootloader Unlock Issue (OEM UNLOCKING GREYED)

[rana103]

HELP POST
I've purchased a 2nd hand Pixel 2 XL 128GB, Checked with IMEI and found it is a GOOGLE varient and useing it.
But my "OEM UNLOCKING" option is greyed out i'm currently on jun 5 patch. Tried several methods to unlock but OEM unlock toggle is not enabling.

1. Tried basic method, 2. Tried with factory reset, 3. Tried factory reset without sim and proceeded with no setup,

All these method gave no results. Consulted google but they require Order ID which is not possible to get at this point.

Anyone has any ideas which I missed. I really got this phone for all the customization possibilities and camera.

I thought the consensus was there was no way of knowing by just checking the IMEI. I could be wrong though.

Did you try another sim card?

Try booting into bootloader mode. It should specify what variant it is, and at least show some serial numbers. Contact Google and ask them if they can check for you as well.

If it's a non-Verizon, definitively, you can try flashing the latest factory image from Google using fastboot without your SIM inserted.

Mine was greyed out too until I connected to WiFi, then rebooted. Then I could toggle. Freaked me out too because I bought it off of Swappa. That I was duped for s second.

No, didn't try another sim. Tried sim and no sim. Now on DP4 from yday. Will give this a shot also then.

My bootloader screen picture is also shared in this post. As contacted google through chat, they also said it is non-verizon mode.
My CID : 00000000
Even without my sim inserted I've tried and result coming same. dunno why. Did you had this issue ? Can you share the solve you tried ?

I booted the phone, set it up (added my account) using WiFi. After I set it up I noticed I couldn't toggle the OEM unlock. I rebooted, checked again, at that point I was able to toggle. That was just my situation though.

Rana, i'm in the same boat. Did you put in your google account? This is the only difference from mine to djcrystals, I did not add my google account. Gonna try and enter it, but i'm also having this trouble with a certified refurbished.

Edit: did not work. Where did you check the imei number that tells you it's google and not verizon

Try this one. http://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html
Also when I had chat with google support they clearly mentioned it is a google varient.
But they are unable to support me without me telling them the order ID of this phn. I bought it 2nd hand from Babgladesh.
So, basically I'm screwed.

Pixel 2 xl OEM allow bootloader unlockewd

Hey really anyone..I have been able to duplicate twice each time a little different... I will continue to test and see if I can find a straight forward example that will yield a quick consistent result...The problem is now when I do a adb reboot booloader to actually unlock it still says not allowed when I was looking at the beauty of the toggle flipped on in dev optoins prior to having to reboot to bootloader ...its not wanting to stick ...soooo....wondering if there is a way to stay in the adb session without the adb reboot bootloader command to get to fastboot...or have some sorta multi user attack at this..can one be connected to the phone through the network adb option and fastboot at same time...or is there a adb command to unlock bootloader rather than fastboot...or can one make a script that could..I assume not I'd or at leat not without writing something above my abilities...but anyways I'm on current as of today for the pixel 2 xl verizon...by total mistake...I forgot the kill the dev slider on auto update system and it was to late...so this is achievable on current firmware. but I can read above where ppl have actually got the toggle off and freaked out too...but Ive done it 3 or 4 times now inside of 30 minutes but cant figure out how to issue the unlock command while its off or iff its impossible...so may not have anything here yet but man it sure looks pretty...I have a video of it and more Im making now to try and help someone crack this already...lol

still at it..

so far it appears to follow toggle wifi..flip over to dev...back to wifi...to dev...so forth and you catch it on...if you toggle the wifi on.. then off....then out and into dev oem option ..the wifi on and off few times then in and out of dev oem option then all the sudden I just am about to hit out of dev again when I notice its flippable......flip it on then confirm...but thats where Im stumped...it on is all I know pretty as can be after confirmation...hmmmm
