so it should come with a usb type c male to male cable that can be attached to your phone and then to a charging brick or a computer. does you mac have a usb type c outlet?
Hmmph. Idk. It’s Wifey’s. She didn’t know. So I guess I should just check.
yep those are usb type c cables. if your mac does not have usb type c then you will need to find an adapter to connect to it.
as far as your phone goes.....you only enabled oem unlocking.....you did not unlock the bootloader. you will need to use a fastboot command to unlock the bootloader....that is all what the sceenshot you posted earlier says.

what model do you have?
Pixel 4
no there should be a model number.....that is just the name of the phone.....the model number it should be something like GA01191-US for your phone.
So tiny!
Looks like GO201or G0201
its G0201 and that is an unlocked model.
Cool. Then I’ve got some time I just wanted to be sure it was correct. Thanks
no worries....keep us posted.
Gotta get a cable now. Off to amazon!
Hey, sorry to revive this old thread... If I should start a new one, just let me know.
I'm looking to set up a Pixel with CalyxOS as well... but while I'm tech savvy generally... I've never bothered to learn *anything* about smartphone tech. Like zero. I have iPhones, but I'm just a user and let apple/verizon do whatever they do to set me up.
Might I fire off a couple of basic questions?
Thx
sure, i'm gonna be in and out for the rest of the night.....so if i do not answer i'm sure somebody will.
start off which pixel you have.

I have none. I am trying to decide if this is the right move for me. That's why I'm here to ask questions.
So Pixel + CalyxOS = secure(ish?) "phone".
But it seems that it's really just an app platform with wifi connect-ability for internet.
What about the phone itself? How do phone services work, and do they conflict with CalyxOS in terms of security?
I'm perhaps unclear on what a "locked" vs "unlocked" phone is, but I gather it means you can use any phone provider. Is this approximately right? Is "unlocked" a requirement to get this to work?
never used it, but here is what they say about it:
https://calyxos.org/about/
its more then an app platform as it looks like a lot of system apps have been tweaked by the rom for instance when an un-encrypted phone call is coming in, you will get a special alert. you can't do this without modifying system apps.
definitely get a pixel phone because to get calyx os you will need to root the phone and pixles are pretty easy to root. i believe the calyx website should have all the info on how to root it and install the custom rom.
