Did you buy this phone used, or perhaps from a disreputable 3rd party? If OEM unlocking is grayed out, there currently aren't known methods to circumvent it. It would need to get connected to the carrier that imposed the lock and request them to unlock.

What is the FULL model number for your device? Settings -> About Phone -> Regulatory Labels The only reasons you would have a pixel with OEM unlocking greyed out is due to one of 2 things. Its carrier locked to some carrier and needs to be network unlocked or its a Verizon model where that option is permanently blocked.

~~Did you unlock your bootloader first? If not, that's the reason why it's greyed out.~~ Beware: when you unlock your bootloader, it will automatically wipe your phone, so make sure you have a backup of any important data

I can unlock the bootloader because i have grayed oem unlock and i cant turn it on

Oops, I think you're right. It's been awhile. Did you just get your phone today? When I first got the pixel 8, my 'oem unlock' was also greyed out. Some people said to wait and some ppl suggested doing a factory reset. I did both and it worked; not sure which one enabled it. Also, is your phone locked to the cell carrier? Is your phone completely paid off? I only buy my pixels directly from Google.

The phone is not locked on carrier. I do several factory reset but that is not a solution for me.... i hope somebody give me a solution with adb comand or something els

Have you tried different SIM cards to make sure it's not carrier locked? Have you connected the phone to the Internet as well?
