Stuck in Fastboot mode

Help Fairphone 4
1

Hey there,
i tried to install calyxos on my fp4. The install went through alright, but the OEM unlock was greyed out in the settings menue, stating that the device is unlocked.
So I entered fastboot mode again and locked the bootloader.

But now i’m stuck in the fastboot mode. Any way I turn on the Phone, it ends up in fastbootmode, and I can’t reach recovery mode either.

atempting fastboot flashing lock results in ‘flashing unlock is not allowed’.

Any help is greatly apreciated. Or did I brick the phone?

Welcome to the Fairphone community.

Bad idea :wink:.

I’m afraid, yes:

But probably, someone more skillful with these things can look into your case and find the magic spell.

Welcome :wave:

I second that, this doesn’t look good.
Could you check the output of fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability && fastboot oem device-info please :pray:

And I’d recommend to #contactsupport as soon as possible, they can take some time to respond.

Nothing we can do here, sorry.

You’ll have to contact support and send your phone in to get repaired.
