Recently bought a phone specifically for the purpose of using it with lineage os. It was somewhat cheap and had a headphone jack so I was pretty excited but I am stuck. OEM unlocking is already toggled. Fastboot does recognize the device, but fastboot oem get_unlock_data fails. Used the debian versions of fastboot and adb and the latest ones downloaded online, neither changes anything.

cid: 0x0000

ro.carrier: unknown

Any thoughts?

I use this phone w Lineageos as my daily, following the instructions provided worked for me.

Questions for you:

  1. Did you make a Motorola account?
  2. Did you install Android SDK?
  3. Did you install Motorola USB Drivers

  1. Yes, but I can't proceed because I can't get the OEM unlock command to succeed

  2. Yes.

  3. I use Linux, I'm unsure if these drivers are available. I wasn't able to find them.

I see! When you boot into Fastboot mode, what's the output of

$ fastboot devices
