Multiple Pixel 9 phones OEM bootloader toggle greyed-out. Carrier unlocked, fully updated.

wat do? halp.

idea: keep buying pixel 9s until one is unlockable
idea: buy str8 from gug

any better ideas?

    Units sold by certain CARRIERS will be locked in a way that there is nothing you can do about it.

      DoveTenderly Sometimes phones marketed as "factory unlocked" are better than "unlocked". But honestly if one is buying current-generation phones the Google store, or maybe Best Buy if you are in a covered area, might well be best. If nothing else, the warranty situation will be better.

        If you haven't already, try to connect the phone to WiFi and reboot a few times and give it a few hours. That allowed me to enable OEM unlocking. This will only work if the phone is actually unlocked though.
