The Google Pixel 3 XL, known for its high-resolution display and exceptional camera performance, continues to be a popular choice among Android enthusiasts. For those interested in expanding their device’s capabilities through customization, unlocking the bootloader and rooting the Pixel 3 XL are key steps. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of how to unlock the bootloader and root your Google Pixel 3 XL.


#### **Disclaimer:**

Unlocking the bootloader and rooting your device will void your warranty and may expose your phone to potential risks, including bricking if not done correctly. Proceed with caution and ensure that all important data is backed up before starting the process.


### **Step 1: Unlocking the Bootloader**


1. **Backup Your Data:**

   - Unlocking the bootloader will erase all data on your device. Backup your important files, including contacts, photos, and settings, to prevent data loss.


2. **Enable Developer Options:**

   - Navigate to **Settings** > **About Phone**.

   - Tap on **Build Number** seven times until a message appears confirming that Developer Options have been enabled.


3. **Enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging:**

   - Go to **Settings** > **System** > **Developer Options**.

   - Enable **OEM Unlocking** and **USB Debugging**.


4. **Install ADB and Fastboot on Your PC:**

   - Download and install the [ADB and Fastboot tools](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools) from the official Android developer website.


5. **Boot into Fastboot Mode:**

   - Power off your Pixel 3 XL.

   - Press and hold the **Volume Down** and **Power** buttons simultaneously until the Fastboot Mode screen appears.


6. **Connect Your Phone to the PC:**

   - Use a USB cable to connect your phone to your PC.


7. **Unlock the Bootloader:**

   - Open a Command Prompt or Terminal window on your PC.

   - Enter the following command to check if your device is detected:

     ```

     fastboot devices

     ```

   - If your device is listed, proceed to unlock the bootloader by typing:

     ```

     fastboot flashing unlock

     ```

   - Confirm the unlock action on your phone when prompted. This will erase all data on the device.


8. **Reboot Your Phone:**

   - After unlocking the bootloader, reboot your phone using:

     ```

     fastboot reboot

     ```


### **Step 2: Rooting the Device**


1. **Download the Necessary Files:**

   - Download the latest version of **TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project)** for the Google Pixel 3 XL from the [official TWRP website](https://twrp.me/Devices/).

   - Download the **Magisk zip file** for rooting from the [official Magisk GitHub page](https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk).


2. **Flash TWRP Recovery:**

   - Boot your device into Fastboot Mode again.

   - Open a Command Prompt or Terminal window on your PC.

   - Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the TWRP image file.

   - Flash TWRP using the following command:

     ```

     fastboot flash recovery <twrp-image-filename>.img

     ```

   - Replace `<twrp-image-filename>` with the actual filename of the TWRP image.


3. **Boot into TWRP Recovery:**

   - Use the **Volume Down** and **Power** buttons to navigate to **Recovery Mode** in the Fastboot menu.


4. **Transfer Magisk to Your Phone:**

   - While in TWRP, connect your phone to the PC.

   - Transfer the Magisk zip file to your phone’s internal storage.


5. **Install Magisk:**

   - In TWRP, go to **Install** and locate the Magisk zip file.

   - Select the Magisk zip file and swipe to confirm the installation.


6. **Reboot Your Phone:**

   - After installation is complete, reboot your phone.


### **Verification and Final Steps**


1. **Verify Root Access:**

   - Once your phone boots up, you should find the Magisk Manager app installed.

   - Open Magisk Manager to verify root access and ensure that everything is functioning correctly.


2. **Reinstall Your Apps:**

   - Restore your backed-up data and reinstall your apps.


By following these steps, you will have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted your Google Pixel 3 XL. This will enable you to explore a range of customizations, including custom ROMs and root-specific applications. Always proceed with caution and be aware of the potential risks associated with modifying your device.
