Pixel 6 locked with Anubis - Bootloader locked, Recovery doesn't work. Is there any way to restore stock firmware?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to recover my Google Pixel 6 (oriole, 128GB) and I'm stuck.

Device information

  • Model: Pixel 6 (oriole)
  • Bootloader: LOCKED
  • Secure Boot: PRODUCTION
  • Device state: locked
  • Storage: 128GB
  • RAM: 8GB

Problem

The phone boots to a screen that says:

>

I don't know what Anubis is or where this unlock code came from.

Things I've tried

  • Booted into Fastboot successfully.
  • Recovery Mode does nothing (black screen/no recovery).
  • Bootloader is locked.
  • I haven't been able to flash stock firmware because of the locked bootloader.

My questions

  1. What exactly is Anubis on a Pixel 6?
  2. Is it a custom ROM, MDM, or something else?
  3. Is there any legitimate way to remove Anubis and restore stock Android?
  4. Has anyone successfully recovered a Pixel 6 from this state?
  5. Is there any service tool or official Google procedure for this?

I own this phone and I'm fine with erasing all data if necessary. I just want to get it working again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
