Hello all, after reading the messages here and on Reddit I decided to reboot my phone. "OEM unlocking" no longer disabled! Best of luck and I appreciate everything the GrapheneOS developers and community has done.

[deleted] I've been scouring Reddit and XDA for last few days and people in the Pixel 6a forums ancedotally mentioned that Pixel 6a (Unlocked) purchased from Google Store show up as Pixel 6a (Fi) in the warranty page.

de0u Google Support forwarded the issue to "Google Pixel Hardware Support" team. If anyone else reaches out to Google Support, they seemed to recognize it was an issue after explaining carrier unlocking is different from bootloader unlocking "OEM unlocking" option.

GrapheneOS Is it acceptable to post the Reddit and XDA forum posts of other people having issues unlocking the bootloader of Pixel 8a's?

I recently purchased a Pixel 8a (Unlocked) from the Google Store and am also facing the "OEM Unlocking" setting being greyed out issue. After recieving the phone I connected it to Wi-Fi and two carriers to test it (AT&T and a Verizon based MVNO), as well as updating all software. I'm in contact with Google support to try and get this option enabled, but am still unsure whether the SIM card's caused this issue.

Tomorrow I will try and test out factory resetting, software updates, and other solutions proposed in this thread. I can also confirm on the Google Store warranty page it is a Pixel 8a (Fi), not Unlocked like ordered.
