Problem while unlocking bootloader (PIXEL 3)

I tried everything but it just doesn’t seem to work, can someone help me out?
I’m new but I’m sure that I followed every steps from unlocking oem via developer option>usb debugging>typing dcm commands. I just don’t know where to go from here.

Thank you!

U should have fastboot in your downloads folder ,or update your adb with universals adb drivers,also make sure oem unlock is checked on in dev options ,and it’s always good to go fastboot devices first to make sure fastboot is working double check all that stuff then let us know ok

I got my pixel 3 second hand. I don’t really know if it’s a verizon or sprint, but I got oem unlock checked as well the usb debugging, I will try your suggestions later if I got enough battery. I’m just starting to know about these stuffs, it’s kinda cool and convenient. Thank you!

If OEM unlock in Developer options isn’t greyed out and you can turn it on, you should be good to go. Try setting up ADB and Fastboot like this. Just follow the instructions in the link I’m providing. This has helped a lot of people get it working. Once you try it, let me know how it goes.

No problem. I forgot to ask, when you’re opening the command line you are opening it as Administrator correct? And you have USB debugging turned on in your device?

Alright, make sure your phone is plugged up.
Open the ADB and Fastboot folder and hit Shift and right click the mouse at the same time. You should have the option that says Open PowerShell window here.
Edit: it might actually let you open Command from there, I’m not sure how your computer is setup.
