OEM unlocking is an option on Google Pixel devices that allows users to unlock the device's bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, users can perform advanced operations on the device, such as installing custom ROMs or gaining root access. However, this also comes with some potential risks and limitations.
Key points about OEM unlocking include:
(If you select NO OEM, the OEM unlock option cannot be turned on.)
1. **Enabling OEM Unlocking**:
- Enable OEM unlocking in the "Developer options." To activate Developer options, you need to tap the "Build number" multiple times in the "About phone" section.
- Once enabled, the device can accept bootloader unlock commands.
2. **Unlocking the Bootloader**:
- Use adb and fastboot tools to connect the device and execute the unlock command
- After unlocking, the device will reset to factory settings, and all data will be wiped.
OEM unlocking is a powerful tool, but it is recommended only for advanced users who understand the associated risks. For regular users, keeping the device's default settings is usually the safest choice.
