I’m trying to install an /e/.foundation OS on a Motorola Moto G Osprey I just bought, and am already running into problems while attempting to install TWRP. The phone is currently running stock marshmallow 6.0 for it’s OS. I run Linux Mint 19.3 on my desktop.
I have followed the instructions on the /e/ website:
I’ve downloaded the latest adb and fastboot packages for my Linux system, both of which I downloaded through the commandline. I didn’t follow the instructions as indicated on the /e/ TWRP Pr-Requisites installation guide, so perhaps that is an issue? I’ve also enabled USB debugging and OEM unlocking in developer options on my phone.
Moving forward, as indicated in the Enabling USB Debugging and OEM unlocking document, I type ‘adb devices’ into the command line, receiving an alphanumeric signature indicating my device is connected.
I then type adb reboot bootloader’ into the command line, resulting in my phone going into 'AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure).
But when I type the next command, ‘fastboot devices’, I receive this message in the terminal:
no permissions (user in plugdev group; are your udev rules wrong?); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] fastboot
…and when I follow the above link I read that it seems I’m not part of a ‘plugdevgroup’. Soo, I then type the command ‘sudo usermod -aG plugdev $LOGNAME’ into the command line, in order to join said group as per the guides directions.
The guide then says I need to log out and then back in, in order for the change to take effect. The problem is, I have NO IDEA what I need to log out and into, or how to do it, and can’t find instructions in the guide…does anyone have any ideas??
