Annotation that this is mainly for the officially listed "Unlocked" Pixel 6 Pro, available directly from the Google Store. All of this will also apply to any other (carrier-specific) variant of the Pixel 6 Pro which you can attain an unlocked bootloader on. This includes T-Mobile and AT&T variants. It'southward likely Verizon variants will never be able to unlock their bootloader, or if so it volition require paying the right person to do so.

Feel free to ask about general questions, merely for anything that'southward specific to your variant, y'all should use one of the other already existing threads. Yous'll find Verizon , AT&T, and T-Mobile-related threads in those respective search results.

Here in that location be dragons. I am not responsible for anything at all.

Unlocking or locking the bootloader volition wipe the device every single time, then be sure to accept your data backed upwardly before doing and then, or meliorate all the same, just unlock it every bit soon as you become the device . ​

Likewise, when wanting to root you lot have to disable verity and verification, after which y'all'll need to wipe the phone, then best merely to go alee and disable these immediately after unlocking the bootloader. Come across the department below "A listing of the other important guides".

​

Go along in mind that unlocking the bootloader or rooting might touch your phone's capability to use banking apps such every bit Google Pay, your local bank's app, or even the power to install some apps like NetFlix. Encounter @Pekempy's thread Working SafetyNet with Pixel six Pro Android 12​

If you're going to re-lock the bootloader, make sure the ROM you take on your phone is completely stock (by flashing the latest official firmware) Earlier re-locking it. ​

There are no negative consequences if you lot unlock or re-lock the bootloader other than it will wipe your telephone, and while unlocked you become a brief screen when you boot the telephone telling you (and anyone who sees your phone at the time) that the bootloader is unlocked. Y'all will as well continue to receive updates (if you lot've merely unlocked the bootloader, you tin can take updates as normal) unlike Samsung, Sony, et cetera, which take permanent major consequences with reduced functionality fifty-fifty if you un-root and re-lock your bootloader. If you lot're actually rooted (not just bootloader unlocked), you'll accept to perform actress steps to manually update each month, and to proceed root/re-root. ​

All posts about Google Pay or banking will be reported to exist deleted. Please keep this thread on-topic. There are at least one or two other How To Guide threads in this section in which folks talk over how to become around cyberbanking app restrictions when you're rooted or merely have an unlocked bootloader. See @Pekempy's thread Working SafetyNet with Pixel 6 Pro Android 12

If users persist in discussing banking apps in this thread, I volition have this thread locked and only update this first mail when there is new and updated information regarding the subjects of the title of the thread: Unlocking the Pixel 6 Pro bootloader, rooting, and TWRP. See @Pekempy'due south thread Working SafetyNet with Pixel 6 Pro Android 12

Honorable mention to @Jawomo'southward aodNotify - Notification Light / LED for Pixel half-dozen Pro! (XDA link) / Notification light / LED for Pixel - aodNotify (Play Store link), which in my opinion restores useful functionality missing in most phones these days. It also solves some subjective issues some folks take with AOD (Ever On Display), and/or solves/works around the problem where AOD is required for the optical fingerprint reader to work without the screen being on.​

Cheque warranty status - *may* reveal if a phone is refurbished, but if the telephone was refurbished through Google - thanks to @Alekos for making me enlightened of the site.
Official Google Pixel Update and Software Repair (reported every bit of Jan 23, 2022 to still not be updated for the Pixel half dozen/Pro however)

Google's Assist Page for Find problem apps by rebooting to safe mode - this can exist a lifesaver and keep you from having to practice a restore to 100% complete stock or even from having to exercise a factory reset. This volition deactivate all Magisk modules, and they'll remain deactivated fifty-fifty subsequently yous kick commonly subsequently briefly booting to safe mode. You lot can reenable the Magisk modules as yous wish to try to narrow down the problem if it was acquired by a Magisk module. This can fifty-fifty become things working over again afterward a Magisk Module wasn't finished installing and potentially causing a bootloop.

Official Google Pixel Install fingerprint calibration software (also available at the bottom of the Update and Software Repair page above) - I believe this is simply helpful if you lot've replaced the screen
Official Google Android Wink Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its ain)

OEM unlocking in developer options needs to be toggled on. I don't "believe" y'all have to actually do the "fastboot flashing unlock" command.

ADB/Fastboot, Windows Drivers, and unlocking the bootloader (cheers @sidhaarthm for confirming unlocking the bootloader works equally intended, be sure to thank him in his post)

• You'll need this if y'all're going to unlock the bootloader on your Pixel half dozen Pro: SDK Platform Tools (download links for Windows, Mac, and Linux). Note that you can detect links to download the tools elsewhere, but I wouldn't trust them - you never know if they've been modified. Fifty-fifty if the person providing the link didn't practice annihilation intentionally, the tools could be modified without them being enlightened. Why take a take chances of putting your phone security further at take chances?
  • Yous can alternately use the tools from the SDK Manager, merely most of us will desire to stick to the bones tools-only without the complications of the full development manager.
    
• For Windows, get Google's drivers here Go the Google USB Commuter (ADB will probable work while the telephone is fully booted, just if you lot're like me, you'll need these drivers for after you lot "adb reboot-bootloader", to be able to use ADB and Fastboot.
• Thanks to @96carboard for posting the details of unlocking the bootloader, exist sure to give thanks him in his post. Unlocking or locking the bootloader will wipe the device every single time, and then be sure to have your data backed upwardly before doing so, or better nevertheless, but unlock it as shortly every bit you lot become the device. K eep in listen that unlocking the bootloader or rooting might affect your phone's adequacy to use cyberbanking apps such as Google Pay, or your local bank'southward app. If you're going to re-lock the bootloader, brand certain the ROM yous accept on your telephone is completely stock (past flashing the latest official firmware) BEFORE re-locking it. My feel on my Pixel 1 was that there were no negative consequences if you unlock or re-lock the bootloader other than it volition wipe your phone, and while unlocked you become a brief screen when you kicking the telephone telling yous (and anyone who sees your phone at the fourth dimension) that the bootloader is unlocked. All of this should even so exist the instance. You will likewise continue to receive updates. Unlike Samsung, Sony, et cetera, which have major consequences with reduced functionality even if you united nations-root and re-lock your bootloader. If yous're actually rooted (not just bootloader unlocked), you'll have to perform extra steps to keep root/re-root. :

  The unlock procedure works like this:

  1) Accept brand new fresh telephone out of box. Do NOT put sim card in it, just power it on (you can put a SIM menu if you want, you just don't accept to).
  2) When it starts harassing y'all to bring together Google, hitting "skip" and "remind me tomorrow" as applicable until y'all attain home screen. You lot DO Non demand to plug in a google business relationship.
  iii) Settings --> About --> Build number. Repeatedly tap it until it says you lot're a developer.
  4) Back --> Network --> WiFi and connect it.
  5) Back --> System --> Programmer --> OEM unlocking (check), USB debugging (check), plug in USB, qualify on the phone when requested.

  Using the Platform Tools previously mentioned in command line/terminal:
  half dozen) #

  7) #
  At present that you've unlocked it, it has been wiped, so repeat 1-4, and then disable all the google spyware, and get ahead and start using it while waiting for aosp and root.

  Official Instructions for Locking/Unlocking the Bootloader

Personally, I would e'er utilise the official drivers Google provides unless they just don't piece of work for whatever reason: Get the Google USB Driver (this is for Windows). They work for me. They are rarely updated, but they are every once in a great while, sometimes years in-between.

I concord with this. be careful using drivers or adb/fastboot tools. Some are fine, but in that location's no demand for it really anymore. Google has made it very easy to install drivers and Platform-Tools (adb/fastboot tool).

Google provides the Fastboot/ADB tool (Platform-Tools) and Google USB Drivers (adb/fastboot interface). This will permit any Pixel to interface with Windows using the fastboot/adb protocol. Official Google USB Driver includes support for both the Fastboot and ADB driver interface. There are iii main drivers (Fastboot, ADB and MTP/Portable File Transfer). The MTP/Portable File Transfer driver is congenital-in to Windows 7-11.

Fastboot/ADB Driver Interface - Official Download Link:
When flashing a full prototype or unlocking your bootloader, the fastboot interface is beingness used.

First Download official Google USB Drivers (it's a zip file). Extract the zip (of import!). Right-click on the android_winusb.inf file and hit install. Yous tin then restart your phone to the Bootloader Screen (concur vol-down while it restarts or turns on). When you plug in your phone, Windows Device Manager will show a new device at the top: Android Device: Android Bootloader Interface.

Using the ADB interface: Information technology'due south the same commuter. Enable USB Debugging on your phone, so plug it in to your calculator. A prompt volition appear on your telephone (to let USB Debugging). The driver in Device Manager will appear as Android Device: Android Composite ADB interface.

Now yous can download and use Platform-Tools to flash an Android Image, OTA or run adb/fastboot commands.
Official Download Page
"Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK. It includes tools that interface with the Android platform, such as adb, fastboot, and systrace"

It's all-time to make Platform-Tools available system-wide. Download Platform-Tools from the above link and extract it to your C:\ drive - that way yous will have a folder to add to the PATH Surroundings under Window System Properties Menu, Advanced, Environment Variables, System Variables, PATH (google how to exercise this, very easy). What this does is allow adb/fastboot commands to be run from anywhere in the organization, and then you lot don't have to exist in the platform-tools folder to run adb/fastboot commands and flash an Android Paradigm (Official or Android Fork such as ProtonAOSP).

Rooting-related ​

No longer applies - Things that brand rooting more complicated on Android 12

@V0latyle posted a new thread with some very important and fascinating data nearly the increased difficulty to root Android 12: Read this earlier rooting. Be sure to give thanks him there.

A list of the other important guides - be certain to thank the corresponding OPs
For all relevant guide threads just click the yellow "How To Guide" quick filter to a higher place the listing of threads in the Pixel half-dozen Pro department.

TWRP (not made for the Pixel six Pro yet - will update when it has)

I would guess that this should be the appropriate URL for official TWRP custom recovery for the Pixel half-dozen Pro, but who knows when/if that will really be made available, and it may get available unofficially in these forum sections before existence made official. I'll adjust this URL every bit needed. https://twrp.me/google/googlepixel6pro.html.

Custom kernels for stock ROM(southward)

Factory Images (requires an unlocked bootloader)

It's likewise handy to accept to the full official firmware available, whether it'southward to recovery from accidents or for actual evolution. Note the official link to the general Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices page. The following link goes straight to the Pixel 6 Pro (Raven) section: Pixel 6 Pro Factory Images. I prefer to actually bookmark a link to the device listed immediately below the device I desire the firmware for, because Google dumbly (in my opinion) puts the latest firmware at the bottom of the list for each particular device, and that ends up making yous gyre a lot after a yr or two of monthly updates.

Note: You can still get the December 2021 Manufactory Images and OTA from this thread, if y'all need them for whatever reason: Alternate links to December - all full mill images and OTAs available

Disabling Verity and Verification isn't required except for use with some custom kernels, but but rooting those custom kernels with the latest Magisk Stable v24.1 or higher should make them non require disabled Verity and Verification anymore.

A reminder that disabling Verity and Verification, at to the lowest degree if yous've never disabled them before, will cause y'all to demand to factory reset the device otherwise there volition be corruption.

The usefulness of having Verity and Verification enabled (at present that information technology's not needed for root but IS withal required for some custom kernels):

1. DM-Verity ( VB ane.0 ) verifies /arrangement and /vendor - it was introduced with Android 4.4, modified with Android 7
two. Android Verified Boot ( VB 2.0 aka AVB ) additionally verifies /boot - information technology was introduced with Android 8, works on Project Treble enabled devices

Both are running a hash on the memory blocks mentioned of your device to ensure the integrity of your software and assistance prevent rootkits and the similar.

If yous disable VB 1.0 and/or VB 2.0 your Android device becomes vulnerable to malware of whatsoever type: IMO only those do it who exercise not care nearly the congenital-in protection.

Yep - this is covered on Android Source.

The basics:
Android Verified Boot ensures that the boot code is legitimate, by using a boot image "signature" compared to a signature stored in the primal registry.

Dm-verity is a method by which the code on the block devices is hashed; this hash is then compared to a reference hash to determine its authenticity before the prototype is loaded, thereby preventing rootkits from declaring themselves legitimate.

Vbmeta verification is a method of storing those reference hashes to which the generated hashes are compared. This tin can exist and often is used for any critical partition, such equally /boot and /system.

These aren't new concepts and indeed take been integral to Android for some fourth dimension. What is new is how the Android 12 AVB headers were handled.

We nevertheless don't know exactly where in the process the trouble occurred when trying to run custom boot images with Android 12. I suspect that the outcome wasn't custom software itself - after all, you lot could however flash a custom ROM and run it without issues - but rather, trying to use a modified boot image with otherwise stock Android 12 system. Don't have my give-and-take for it, though, because I don't know for certain.

It has nothing to do with the kernel itself. The anykernel.zip uses magiskboot to "repack" the kernel during the flashing kernel.

• #iii

Regarding P6P 5G model numbers and capabilities :

There are 3 hardware versions:

• G8VOU (AU, US); also listed as G8V0U - zero instead of "oh" on some sites, Google shows the former, G8VOU) - has mmWave 5G support
• GF5KQ (JP) - has mmWave 5G support
• GLUOG (CA, DE, FR, GB, IE, TW) - no mmWave 5G support

For case, my factory unlocked straight from Google in the The states Pixel 6 Pro 512 GB is a G8VOU. Every bit far as I know, all other variations in each individual phone are controlled by software (which firmware is loaded) and over the internet (which IMEIs are Carrier Unlocked or non, and OEM Unlockable or not).

Cheque carriers, their 5G networks & their 5G roaming support for Pixel phones. Make certain and cull your land from the drop-down to see the listing of carriers beneath.

There'southward also the section above that Larn which Pixel phones can work with which kinds of 5G.

January 2022 Android security update now rolling out, fixes problems that prevented emergency calls​

There'due south a lot happening this week, thanks to the flurry of CES 2022 events and announcements, but that hasn't prevented Google from releasing its security patches on time — so long as you lot don't take a Google Pixel 6. The company just released the Jan 2022 Android Security Update Message, though the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro volition accept to wait a scrap longer.
Mayhap the almost important non-security change in this update is a organisation-level fix for the problems that allowed Microsoft Teams to break emergency calling, known as CVE-2021-39659. Microsoft already rolled out a fix for its Android application, but this security patch addresses information technology for expert.
This update also patches a loophole in Android 12 that immune third-party applications with beat admission to change the colors and dimensions of sure organization elements, which in turn permitted some system customization without root admission or other device modifications. The issue was already fixed in the developer builds of Android 12L, but Google has now backported the prepare back to Android 12.

Jan 2022 Android Security Update Bulletin​

The January 2022 Android Security Bulletin can exist viewed hither.

This one's kinda long for what information technology is, and this is for the Pixel i, but it should be similar for the Pixel half dozen/Pro. I won't add it to the first postal service just yet in example in that location are differences, and I don't desire to recommend something I can't actually try on the 6 Pro (since I won't get mine for probable another two days). Unlocking the Bootloader of the Pixel and Pixel Twoscore

Skilful luck!

Generally YouTube video guides for software related things aren't particularly helpful, as they can often become outdated very chop-chop; specially in the early days of a device as they can't be updated when new things are found out.
It would probably exist best to advisedly read through guides

@sidhaarthm reports here (be sure to give thanks him on his original post):

Bootloader successfully unlocked. I will just run everything stock for now - this is merely so I don't have to wipe the device later after I have completed full setup and transferred all my data.

This is peachy. I won't be getting mine for a while equally well then please come dorsum and update this thread.

FYI, I'1000 reminded by several members in these forums that unlocking the bootloader (the first pace earlier existence able to root your Carrier-Unlocked Pixel 6 Pro) wipes the device - so does re-locking it. Then I highly recommend unlocking it as the first step when yous get the phone, otherwise, you'll accept to back up anything that doesn't usually become backed up, and go through the initial setup process again. Not a big deal for some, but would likely non be optimal for a new user.

• Instructions for Locking/Unlocking the Bootloader (note that unlocking or locking the bootloader will wipe the device every single fourth dimension, so be sure to take your data backed up before doing and so, or better yet, merely unlock it equally before long every bit you get the device) .

This! It's the first thing you should do out of the box if you plan on rooting later on.

@V0latyle posted a new thread with some very important and fascinating data nearly the increased difficulty to root Android 12: Read this before rooting. Exist sure to give thanks him there.

There is, its there and you need to flip information technology.

The unlock procedure works like this;

1) Take make new fresh phone out of box. Practice Not put sim card in information technology, just power it on.
2) When information technology starts harassing you to join google, hitting "skip" and "remind me tomorrow" as applicable until you accomplish home screen. YOU Exercise Not need to plug in a google account.
3) Settings --> About --> Build number. Tap it until it says you're a developer.
4) Back --> Network --> Wifi and connect information technology.
5) Back --> Organization --> Developer --> OEM unlocking (check), USB debugging (check), plug in USB, authorize when requested.
half dozen) # adb reboot-bootloader
7) # fastboot flashing unlock

Now that you've unlocked it, it has been wiped, and then repeat 1-4, then disable all the google spyware, and become ahead and start using it while waiting for aosp and root.

There is, its at that place and y'all need to flip it.

Thanks once again

6 is merely an easier way to reboot it into recovery than trying to shut it downwards and fiddle with book+power buttons to start in the right mode. You had to do 7, no choice. Some older phones used "fastboot oem unlock". You'd have to ask google why they changed it.

Expert bespeak. I'll add to the OP. You might non remember half-dozen and vii, but you had to have done them ane manner or another, whether using a 3rd-party tool to assist automate that part or something else.

• #20

vi is just an easier way to reboot it into recovery than trying to close information technology down and fiddle with volume+power buttons to start in the right mode. Y'all had to do 7, no option. Some older phones used "fastboot oem unlock". Yous'd have to ask google why they changed it.

Ahhh...
to be off-white, B/L unlock was a long time ago for me.
My P6P arrives tomorrow and I am hoping for root as well.
