Command to unlock bootloader for Pixel 8

Hello, I previously flashed a Pixel 5 with /e/OS successfully and am now trying to install it on a Pixel 8 that I’ve recently purchased. However I need a refresher on the command to type into Terminal to unlock the bootloader. If anyone could help I’d greatly appreciate it.

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services

I am confused why you don’t use the manual, as reference :thinking::thinking:

Be aware that Pixel 8 with May 2025 or newer security patch are paperweights (in regard to install /e/OS)

I’ve installed the adb debugging file on my computer via the Terminal but am now getting this error when trying to connect the phone via the /e/ OS installer.

Did you read some of the threads with hashtag eosinstaller to see some of the progess and help given to others?

I think better changing to the “manual” install page.

Maybe this is relevant ??

Later, approximate converting your image to text, working in

~/Downloads/platform-tools-latest-linux/platform-tools

looks like you are having applied “system” Ubuntu – Details of package android-sdk-libsparse-utils in noble and fastboot at v34.
