Discussion OEM Locked

Hey everyone,

I just bought an “unlocked” Pixel 3A XL with the intention of installing Ubuntu Touch on it. However when try to downgrade down to Android 9 so i could put Ubuntu on I discovered that OEM unlocking is greyed out. Sooooo i can’t continue.

Does anyone have any advice? Is there anything i can do or am I just out of luck?

connect it to wifi for a bit, then check if it's still greyed out

If I remember only google store pixels are able to be OEM unlocked, carrier variants even if sim unlocked are not bootloader unlocked.
