Just installed LineageOS on a used Moto G100. Following are a few notes I made while working through the excellent installation guide.
Two settings must be enabled in the Developer options on your device before you start:
- Developer options → Enable USB-Debugging
- Developer options → Enable OEM unlocking
Otherwise, you will encounter the same error as I did when unlocking the bootloader.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY
After entering the UNIQUE_KEY, select “Unlock Bootloader” on your phone with the volume down button and confirm with the power button.
The next point that confused me for a second was this:
But you just have to use the volume buttons and select recovery on the smartphone screen from the menu you’re in. I just didn’t realize it was a menu at first…
All in all, everything worked without any problems and took maybe 30 minutes in total.
