GarpheneOSNutzer awesome. Run the last one: sudo cp fastboot /bin/fastboot and you should be good!

GarpheneOSNutzer

Very good, those are the expenses for each order.

linux@Linux:~/platform-tools$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 36.0.0-13206524

Amazing! It's up and running!!! Awesome, thank you so much, I couldn't have done it without you, I'm so happy.

Is it normal for the installation to be so complex?

n3t_admin

GarpheneOSNutzer usually, not at all. The CLI install certainly requires some prior knowledge about Linux and its FHS. I don't have a clue why the command just wouldn't run, maybe read/write permissions are different on Mint compared to Debian.

At least you should be up and running to proceed with the install script now ^^

GarpheneOSNutzer

Yes, it's great that it worked out. I couldn't have done it on my own.

GarpheneOSNutzer

I continued with the script right away. It displayed the following output

linux@Linux:~$ sudo systemctl stop fwupd.service
[sudo] Password for linux:
linux@Linux:~$ fastboot flashing unlock
< waiting for any device >

What should I do? I set the phone to data transfer, or should I set it to USB tethering?

n3t_admin

GarpheneOSNutzer please read the instructions carefully. The phone should be in fastboot mode (at the bootloader screen) already.

GarpheneOSNutzer

Thanks again, everything worked perfectly with your help!

I give the user n3t_admin five stars for being patient, knowledgeable, and understanding toward people who don't know anything about this stuff.
