Google Pixel 5 (redfin): Cannot unlock bootloader

/e/OS Devices Google
1

Hi,
I’m having issues with installing Stable T on my Pixel 5

  1. First I tried to use the EasyInstaller on MacOS but I get a message “Searching for device …” and nothing was happening
  2. Then I thought I would do it via comand line but I noticed the OEM Unlock was greyed out. I tried to connect to internet and a factory reset but it did not work. I bought the phone unlocked from Amazon.

The System Update offers me to update to A14. Will updating solve the issue?
Thanks

Most sellers will say unlocked meaning that it is network unlocked, ie you can use any sim.

Is it possible it may be a Verizon model? It’s not possible to unlock their devices.

Have you tried removing sim and connecting to internet before toggling oem unlock?

EDIT: I also heard connecting to wifi during first time setup may be help. Fact reset > connect wifi when asked if you want to > continue…

Don’t know whether updating makes a difference.
