FP5 No bootloader Unlock

/e/OS Devices Fairphone
1

Hi,
I received a new FP5 and I tried the command
“fastboot flashing unlock”
but there is no Phone-Option to unlock the bootloader.
I can’t select it.
FP5, Android 13, Apr. 2024
OEM-Unlockin done
USB Debugging done
adb device = ok
adb reboot bootloader = ok
fastboot flashing unlock

  • no phone “unlocking” option to select…

Any Help for me ???
Thanks

What is the response to

fastboot devices

when the phone is in Fastboot mode?

Just a thought … are you using Windows? If yes Windows may need improved “combination” drivers if the phone is seen by adb but not fastboot.

… ok, best I do not try to guess. What happened ? Exactly the same?

Had you already done this step ?

Get the unlock code from this site and enter it.

Take care not to downgrade Android SPL. Please be sure to read and understand the details below this warning on the install page Install /e/OS on a Fairphone FP5 - “FP5”.

Caution: The FP5 comes with an anti-rollback feature. Google Android anti-roll back feature is supposedly a way to ensure you are running the latest software version, including the latest security patches.
