Video Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installing popular Android mods (like Magisk) requires you to have the bootloader unlocked ahead of time. So to prepare for those videos, this tutorial will walk you through how to unlock the Pixel 6 bootloader with a simple Fastboot command.

Before we begin though, we need to have some things setup ahead of time. For example, we need to have ADB & Fastboot tools installed (linked below). We also need to enable the OEM Unlock toggle so we need to enable Developer Mode as well.

With that done, go ahead and boot the Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro into Fastboot Mode and then make sure you have an established connection.

Now execute the fastboot command as mentioned and follow along with the video to confirm you want the bootloader to be unlocked.

You'll see the Pixel 6 reboot and then bring you right back to the Android activation screen. Follow along with me in the video and you'll be able to confirm whether or not you have successfully unlocked the bootloader.
