Unlocking oem pixel 7 pro
Hola everyone,
I am a apps developer. i bought a pixel 7 pro from ebay for my job. But this device is locked , both sim locked and OEM locking.
I downloaded t mobile unlock app to try unlock sim , but it said unlock fail.
I dont have a tmobile sim .
So can i unlock OEM to tesing my apps ? now it is grey button .
My imei : 358039170527143
Thanks !
The SIM shouldn't matter It should still allow you to toggle OEM unlock without a SIM.
A quick search shows only Pixels sold by Google have unlocked bootloaders. Pixels sold by carriers will have locked bootloaders.

That was always the case because the SIM lock was tied to the OEM unlock. Unless aomething has changed. A permanent SIM unlock would enable the OEM toggle to no longer be greyed out.

Interesting. That's got to be fairly new. That is going to save me from buying a Pixel from T-Mobile then to try out Graphene OS on.
Might be worth checking the Pixel forum for your device on XDA to see if there is any workaround.
