On my pc screen it shows:
adb devices
So I do:
fastboot oem unlock 6bxxxxxx
and I get on the pc screen:
< waiting for any device >
and my phone is showing the following picture
Can anybody tell me what I have to do get the command ‘fastboot oem unlock 6bxxxxxx’ work?
Now I see on the screen of the phone:
DEVICE STATE - locked
This is strange as I unlocked the phone yesterday.
I think at switching the phone on and off yesterday after unlocking, made the phone forget that it was unlocked.
So now I will unlock the phone in developer options again.
I think simply ‘fastboot oem unlock’ should work? Maybe you need to run it as root, I’m not sure.
What exactly did you do yesterday? Was that some development option (“OEM unlocking”) in the settings app?
In that case you didn’t unlock the phone. Just allowed the phone to be unlocked.
Depending on your version of fastboot, the correct command might be fastboot flashing unlock.
Try fastboot --help and look for the unlock example.
@robbert.f was right. I needed to do it as root.
I am running Linux, Fedora and then one isn’t used to work as root.

Thank you all for your help.
On Fedora you have to do everything as root
and in the final steps of installing /e/ one need to start the command with ./
For example: ./fastboot -w
./fastboot flash system system.img
and so on.
