Bricked Pixel C? or Easy Fix? - Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have a google pixel c that I think is bricked but I'm not too sure. When I turn the device on it just boots to the bootloader, I can access fastboot and my PC detects the device through the command "fastboot devices", the bootloader is locked and oem unlock was not set in the developer settings. Anything I can do to get the device working again?

I don't believe it's possible to run the OEM unlock command without setting OEM as unlocked in developer setting first

If you are unable to fix it, let me know. I may be interested in buying it.

You can follow steps in the thread named "helped about pixel C". I think you have the same problem than me .

[Q] How to work with windows adb to root phone?

Hello!
Well, I've followed your tutorials and installed android SDK which came in a .zip and I just extracted it to my C:\ directory.
But the phone just doesn't connect! See the image below please.

Did you boot into the bootloader?

Assuming you've already unlocked the bootloader.
Turn off your cell phone, press Vol+ & Vol- while holding both keys press and hold PowerButton you'll boot into bootloader, now connect your devices to PC and run the command "fastboot devices" if you have all drivers correctly installed you should see something like:
List of Devices
"Devices: xxxxxxxxxx"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you don't see any devices that means either drivers are not installed or you're not booted into the bootloader, but if you see your devices connected use the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" once the installation is finished boot into recovery and flash the SuperSU(root).zip
Peace,

Try using "fastboot devices" to see if it lists your phone. Fastboot only works when you're in bootloader mode. "adb devices" will list your phone when bored into the os.

i connect the phone in download mode to pc , but the phone is not recognized
You got to use a cmd on PC, having fastboot/adb installed on it, to enter fastboot comands, as well as to activate developer options on the phone itself and check adb debugging and factory unlock option. But I guess you already know this. In addition there is no fastboot mode any longer. Thus you got to perform those commands when the phone is booted to download mode.

Why'd you do so. You just have to read a little bit of how to use the basics as fastboot. I know other OEM got flashtools, and there are some around for HTC as well. But it can never be wrong to know about all the basics of flashing and rooting a phone.
Go to settings > about. Find the build number entry. Tab it as ling as it states you are a developer now. Head back to settings > developer options. Check mark the USB debugging as well as the bootloader unlock entry.
Install adb/fastboot - minimal adb/fastboit found on XDA will do. Head over to htcdev.com and start unlocking by following the guide.

What does classic mean? Just make sure there's usb A on the computer side... Do you have USB debugging and OEM unlocking enabled in developer settings?
yes all active
You didn't install a fastboot driver..
I had the same problem i applied this:

You sir are saint...I've been trying to get fastboot to recognize my OP6T for the last 8 hours. Thank you so much!

This resolved the same issue for me as well. Odd though, because it was working fine for me a couple of months ago.
This is a windows problem, and as others stated downloading the fastboot driver does work, I had to manually install it as an optional update through Windows Update last time it happened, but I prefer to use Linux, as this is one of those "just works" scenarios on there (albeit MSM tool requires Windows, and unaware of a workaround)

Re-locking the Bootloader ?

I've been successfully running LineageOS 18.1 on my (Magisk-rooted) Pixel 3. The unlocked bootloader screen at bootup became annoying and so I decided to relock the phone. Without reading all of my HowTo notes (because I thought I remembered).
I sent "adb reboot bootloader" and then "fastboot flashing lock" and got the notice on the phone to press POWER if I wanted to re-lock and so I did. But the next screen said it couldn't find an operating system !!
I turned the phone off and then manually booted into Fastboot where I was able to unlock the phone again at which point it remembered where the operating system was and I was able to boot back into it. (And since I had forgotten that locking OR unlocking does a hard reset - for which I hadn't prepared for AT ALL - I spent the next 2 day rebuilding my phone from scratch. Yes, it serves me right.)
So what did I do wrong? how can I re-lock the bootloader without losing LineageOS?

You mean this?

Dunno, I am afraid you can't... but I vaguely remember that this message annoyed me as well and there are ways to turn it off.
In the end, I decided this annoying message is not worth my time and nowadays I think of it more like this:

Yes, you! And me! Both of us! That's who! The other 99.9% are idiots and wouldn't even know how to begin to unlock a phone
