i got pixel 6 and I've been planning to sell it, i tried to lock the bootloader but the commend didn't work i don't know why. After that i was trying to re flash the stock ROM via fastboot mode but for some reason flashing process aborted at particular point and phone wasn't booting, kept in bootloop .. google logo then restart and it went on.
after that i made a mistake which was i attempted to re lock the bootloader while phone was in bootloop and the process completed successfully.
now I'm not able to flash anything via fastboot as bootloader is locked and it's cannot get unloaded ..
is there anything i could do to reflash the stock image in this state? phone now doesn't boot .. only google logo the it restarts it self

Try sideloading the OTA. Also, if you still have OEM unlocking enabled in Developer Options you can try using Android Flash Tool.

Android Flash Tool can't be used on a locked bootloader. That being said, it's the best way to return the phone to stock state.

Sideloading the OTA is the only possibility of restoring the device in this situation. I don't think the Pixel Repair Tool works with the Pixel 6 yet.

Try booting to recovery mode and perform a factory reset.

Lastly...A "bricked" device is completely unresponsive. If the device boots, the screen works, and can be forced into bootloader/fastboot/recovery, it's not bricked.

All you need is OEM Unlocking enabled to use Android Flash Tool. You don't actually have to have your bootloader unlocked. The Flash Tool will do it for you.

No kidding? I wasn't aware of that!

Doesn't help in this situation, sadly.

I'm not able to reach oem unlocking option since it cannot boot

Sideload the OTA. Make sure your Platform Tools are up-to-date. Make sure you are sideloading the OTA and not the factory image and it's the correct OTA for your device. Try different cables and ports. Re-download in case your original download got corrupted.
