Pixel XL Unlock/Relock

[ToraxOutlaw]

Can anyone give me a detailed step by step guide on how to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP as well as Magisk and then relock the bootloader. I followed several different sets of instructions to no avail, all I've end up doing is hard-bricking the phone. I'm not able to do a full wipe and reset following a guide in the forum on how to restore to stock after bricking. I'm not installing any custom roms or kernels.

The reason you are soft-bricking your phone is you are trying to lock the bootloader and your phone is not 100 percent stock. You installed a custom recovery (twrp) and rooted it with Magisk. Consider yourself, extremely, lucky you did not hard-brick your phone. Several people have hard-bricked their phone trying to lock the bootloader when they were not 100 percent stock.

Never ever try relocking bootloader with something "unofficial" like twrp and root installed! Things will get bad.
Just keep you bootloader unlocked, it's a life saviour when you have troubles with your phone because you can always recover it in case of brick. With a locked bootloader you cannot flash anything.

Any advice on how to fix and hard-bricked Pixel XL??? ?
