[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Smirfy:
Hi all,

I have a Moto G6Plus with a locked bootloader. I have had it from new, bought SIM free from a retailer in a sealed box. It went back whilst under warranty stuck in a bootloop following a failed OTA update. It has worked flawlessly since then. It's now out of warranty and no longer supported so i figured I would install a custom ROM. I have some experience, having rooted and custom ROM'd HTCs in the past, as well as my previous G6 plus.

So here's the situation. I am using Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon. I have also tried a Win 10 box and Linux mint 19.3, 3 different machines I have USB debugging and the allow bootloader unlocking options set in 'Developer Options' menu

Phone is recognised by ADB , and ADB reboot bootloader does boot the phone as expected.

Fastboot devices recognises the device, showing it's serial number with the word fastboot next to it. If I fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot bootloader, then both these commands work.

2 of the 3 machines report an error on fastboot getvar all. The oldest machine does output the following:

and if i do fastboot oem get_unlock_data on this machine I get 'Failed to get unlock data'

on the other 2 machines I get this:

fastboot getvar all

(bootloader) slot-suffixe: not found

(bootloader) slot-suffi: not found

getvar:all FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.000s

and this:

fastboot oem get_unlock_data

(bootloader) slo: not found

(bootloader) slot-suffi: not found

...

(bootloader) 'get_unlock_datas' is not a supported oem command

(bootloader) See 'fastboot oem help'

FAILED (remote failure)

Can anyone tell from this what is going on, and how I can unlock my bootloader?

Thanks in advance
