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 iām stuck in the fastboot mode. Any way I turn on the Phone, it ends up in fastbootmode, and I canāt reach recovery mode either.
atempting fastboot flashing lock
results in āflashing unlock is not allowedā.
Any help is greatly apreciated. Or did I brick the phone?

Welcome to the Fairphone community.
Bad idea .
Iām afraid, yes:
After installing the custom ROM /e/ I locked the bootloader and unfortunately disabled āOEM unlockingā in the development settings. Then I restarted my device and always got in the fastboot mode (see attached image). I canāt even go to the recovery anymore. So I have no access to anything (not even adb) except to the restricted (because OEM is locked) fastboot command.
Is there a possibility to reset back to stock ROM or unlock the OEM bootloader from fastboot mode with some secret code?
Can sā¦
But probably, someone more skillful with these things can look into your case and find the magic spell.

Welcome
I second that, this doesnāt look good.
Could you check the output of fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability && fastboot oem device-info
please
And Iād recommend to #contactsupport as soon as possible, they can take some time to respond.

thank you very much. the output of the command is te following:
(bootloader) get_unlock_ability: 0
OKAY [ 0.002s]
Finished. Total time: 0.003s
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [ 0.005s]
Finished. Total time: 0.005s
Nothing we can do here, sorry.
Youāll have to contact support and send your phone in to get repaired.
