Figuring out flashing TCL Flip 2

not sure

This guide should be easy to follow:

After doing this you should be able to install APK’s with ADB.

When I type the commands should it display something?

The phone should say ā€œFastboot modeā€.

I meant when I type fastboot devices, fastboot flashing unlock. Does anything show up in the terminal or screen so I know it’s working.

On the phone you should get a screen asking you if you want to unlock.

WARNING: This step erases your data.

Nothing happens when I fastboot flashing unlock.

When I typed fastboot devices one showed up. However when I typed fastboot flashing unlock nothing happened. The command is still running.

Maybe try starting over.

No luck unfortunately :pensive_face:

You bought the phone brand new? Maybe it’s unlocked already.

Yeah I bought it brand new.

Are you using Windows?

If yes, which version of platform tools? Did you get it from the official source?

Did you check windows update – Advanced Options – Optional Updates for drivers?

I’m using the iso file you provided.

Then sorry, I have no clue.

Maybe it’s an issue with the 4058e unit or software I’m on.

Possibly. OEM unlocking enabled? Shouldn’t be stopping at least an error message anyway

Also, try fastboot oem unlock

Show me the output of fastboot devices

No i would go back to windows

Fastboot devices

And fastboot oem unlock didn’t work either.

Interesting, I don’t know.

You can try on windows just make sure you have proper drivers installed.

Just to confirm that all is working
