Trying to unlock bootloader,using adb on debian (chromebook) connected to a Samsung tablet (pretty sure its android 11), the android device is on download mode, when I run fastboot flashing unlock “waiting for any device” appears on the terminal, I cant enter any command as if it’s excuting something.
The Problem
when I close the terminal and reopen it then check adb devices I get two, the first being “(no serial number) offline” and the second “emulator-5554 unauthorized” I think the first is the android device I’m trying to root and the second the Chromebook itself. when I run lsusb the Samsung tablet is detected alongside two other devices (“Linux foundation 3.0 root hub” and “Linux foundation 2.0 root hub”), but when I run fastboot devices nothing is returned.
lsusb,adb,fastboot devices
Interestingly the lsusb Samsung device ID isn’t correct.
USB debugging and OEM unlocking are enabled on the android device.
