Question Just got a Pixel 6 today - cant bootloader unlock

[bleedingoutward]

Hello. Ive been around awhile, not new account but coudlnt get my login info right. Sorry about that. Soooooo... I purchased a Pixel 6 via Amazon listed as unlocked / renewed. I fully charged it and booted it up. Its running Android 12 currently (not 13), and its model is: GB7N6 .
After enabling developer mode, OEM Unlock is indeed greyed out and unchangeable. Isnt model GB7N6, running Android 12, specifically compatible for bootloacker unlock?

Does it say anything underneath the toggle? On my 6A it shows as "carrier locked" and wion't let me turn it on.

Underneath, it says "Connect to the internet or contact your carrier". Currently on wifi. Have not switched yet from my iphone to this one (was hoping to have it flashed with a custom rom etc beforehand)

@bleedingoutward Can you put the imei into an IMEI lookup? It might be an unlocked Verizon phone (which cannot be bootloader unlocked)?

That message will show sometimes with Verizon Pixels

 

[bleedingoutward]

Its not Verizon. Model in settings is GB7N6.

@bleedingoutward

Ok, so it's T-Mobile (which will unlock). Can you try flashing 13 with Google's online flash tool and seeing if it unlocks from there?

 

[bleedingoutward]

From my understanding, wont that make it permamantly unable to be unlocked? I thought i read that about 13

 

[traman124]

No, 13 will not do that. 13 supports unlocking on Pixels (I'm sure about it).

 

[bleedingoutward]

Still no luck

Take a screenshot of about phone and dev options please?

And can you try putting a sim in it?
