dhrsaad13 weird. What is menu is displayed when you go to Settings > System > Reset options? Is there a factory reset option?

Normally you would go to Settings > About > Build number > tap 7 times to enable Developer options > OEM Unlocking > toggle ON which will then allow you to unlock the bootloader from Fastboot mode.

Do any of the menus contain the About section or Build number?

Pixel running custom firmware

what is that firmware? would be helpful if you provided more info. Why do you want to enable OEM unlocking? if needed you need to re-enable dev mode (similar steps you used to install grapheneos).

horde Hi yes indeed i want to reopen it to flash GrapheneOS. A friend of mine brought this phone and he wants graphene on it but it seems that this Custom ROM/ OS has the option to reopen OEM unlocking hidden or some sort. The only thing i know that the app is called io.ghost.updater but i have searched everywhere but couldn't find anything similar or documentation about the phone.

userofgos The problem is that there is no Settings > System, it only has this option... I think the phone hides real settings and apps on a different screen but i am not sure how they do that. The homescreen showing looks like a decoy i.e fake snapchat fake instagram fake X fake Tiktok so i don't understand how i can still remove this POS Custom Rom

Yes there is, I can see it in the screen shots you added. The second screen shot has the Reset options label/menu. What does that lead to? Is there a factory reset option available once you tap Reset options?

Alternatively you can try to boot into Recovery mode and factory reset that way. See here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/16493042?hl=en

Somehow the phone looks like it is MDM managed. Have you tried a factory reset? What does the setup screen look like? What does the startup screen look like (when you start the phone, does it give you a yellow or red triangle, does it have a custom boot logo)? With more information comes greater wisdom, so feel free to share!

userofgos Hi friend reset options just allow factory reset which weirdly brings me back to the same menu. I tried recovery mode but the bootloader is still not unlocked...
