Having trouble unlocking the bootloader on FP3 during /e/ OS Instal

[AnotherElk]

Here’s a generic driver/ adb/ fastboot repair to try …

@AnotherElk

• Disconnected the phone from the computer.
• In Control Panel - Programs and Features:
  Uninstalled everything with “MTP” or “ADB” in its name.
• Rebooted Windows.
• In Control Panel - Device Manager:
  Enabled View - Show hidden devices, and then uninstalled every possible ADB, MTP and smartphone device, hidden or not.
• Rebooted Windows.
• Connected the phone again

@AnotherElk

• Downloaded the current Android SDK Platform Tools, it’s better to use these anyway.
• Unzipped the ZIP file to C:\platform-tools (you can unzip it to wherever you like).
• Added this path to the Windows “PATH” environment variable, so adb and fastboot could be run from everywhere again without always having to prefix them with C:\platform-tools\ .
