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.

ro.carrier: unknown
Any thoughts?
I have installed Lineage on the same phone in the past. I seem to remember a step I needed to do through Motorola to properly unlock the device. I found this link on the install page—have you attempted this yet?

I can’t do this step until I get an output from get_unlock_data
I think it’s just not possible for whatever reason.
no one was able to help in the lineage forums?
Went on the discord but no help there unfortunately.
I use this phone w Lineageos as my daily, following the instructions provided worked for me.
Questions for you:
- Did you make a Motorola account?
- Did you install Android SDK?
- Did you install Motorola USB Drivers
-
Yes, but I can’t proceed because I can’t get the OEM unlock command to succeed
-
Yes.
-
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
