Unlocking the bootloader
On Pixel devices, Google provides an additional bootloader that users can unlock. If you want to manually flash software, you'll need to perform this step.
To unlock the bootloader, the first step is to boot into the bootloader. Power off your phone, then press and hold the Power button + Volume Down button to access the Bootloader Menu. Alternatively, you can run the commands below in a Terminal or Command Prompt window.
Run the command below to ensure your device is properly connected to the computer. If the command returns a string of characters, you can begin updating your device:
./adb devices
To access the bootloader menu, run the command below:
./adb reboot bootloader
At the bottom corner of the window, you will see information listed including the device lock status.
To unlock the bootloader and flash firmware image (not sideload update), run the commands below:
./fastboot flashing unlock
Note: Unlocking the bootloader will reset your device to its original manufacturer default state, meaning all data and settings on the device will be erased. Therefore, it is recommended to backup your device before proceeding.
After running the command above, a prompt will appear on the screen asking if you want to unlock the bootloader. If you are ready, press Volume Up button + Power button simultaneously to confirm unlocking the bootloader.
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
Flash stock image or OTA update
After unlocking the bootloader, the next step is to flash the new firmware. To find the image, visit the Android 11 Factory Images page (insert link), find your device, and download the latest image version.

Extract the files from the Platform Tools folder you downloaded (the folder containing adb and fastboot files) to avoid having to enter paths to individual files when flashing firmware.
To begin, make sure you are still in the bootloader menu, and double-check if the bootloader is unlocked.
Ensure that your computer and mobile devices are connected and functioning correctly by running the command below:
./fastboot devices
Perform flash Factory Image
Run the command below to flash the updated bootloader:
./fastboot flash bootloader [bootloader file].img
After the bootloader flash process completes, proceed to reboot into the bootloader menu to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
Continue by running the command below to flash the updated radios. Perform this step if you are updating firmware on a device with cellular radio integrated:
./fastboot flash radio [radio file].img
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
Finally, run the command below to flash the system image on your Android phone:
./fastboot -w update [image file].zip
After the command completes, your Android phone will automatically reboot as usual. At this point, the device screen will display a setup guide.
