There seems to be a bug of sorts in thw Pixel 2 or OPD1.170816.010 for the Pixel 2 where you can NOT use the sldier for OEM unlocking which will allow the bootloader to be unlocked in Fastboot.

I purchased two Pixel 2's one of them did not work, the other did unlock.

I would like to add I am fairly experienced with Nexus/Pixel and bootloader unlocking. The process has changed in recent years where the gatekeeper is now within the build (developer options). Regardless, I tried everything:

Different SIMs:

AT&T active AND inactive SIMs.
Verizon active SIM.
Three factory resets.
Two factory resets from recovery.
Skipping the setup wizard.
Using FIOS wifi only without a SIM.
Using Verizon hotspot from another phone. without a SIM.
Factory OTA image with a factory reset via recovery and ADB sideload. walleye-ota-opd1.170816.010-768eb7b1 hash 768EB7B1141DB97BE5C8E5118935C19178E5A12DEFE862C86DFD6DC0EB468F31 256

I am getting an advanced replacement sent, but this is a big issue for people who are purchasing these phones with the expectation you can bootloader unlock them.

I opened a Case ID [4-6937000019885] prior to the RMA replacment. I did submit a bug report.

I did purchase a "unlocked" version directly from the Google Play store. It did not come with a SIM. This is not a Version model. This is for the HTC model (NO-XL).
