Did you unlock bootloader in your u12 life?

I bought u12 life European unlocked version a couple days ago and I can`t get token required to generate unlock.bin file.
Try a couple time, Win 10 and Linux, always get this response :
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Sync Manager\HTC Sync>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: -0.000s
htc_fastboot finished. total time: 0.267s
Does anyone successfully unlock bootloader on this device?
the correct command is: fastboot flashing unlock

No whatsapp badge

Hi,

I've recently bought for my mom a new htc 12life.
Phone is new, fresh install of whatsapp and I can't make badges show on the homescreen whatsapp icon. And ONLY for whatsapp, for other apps it works, all badges are shown (i.e. sms, or facebook). I tried reinstalling whatsapp, I tried to change launcher (to nova), I tried changing the theme. I checked - all notifications are on under settings in whatsapp application. I've checked, badges are allowed for this specific app.
I've been struggling with it for the 3rd day now.....it's becoming ridicoulus. Anyone has an idea what may cause the problem?
I personally have other HTC (old htc a9s, everything works fine), so I know these phones, but this problem on looks like a very tricky riddle.

I have a bootlader unlocked U12 life, with missing ROM

I just bought a used U12 life, the known issue was that the phone is stucked at the HTC logo. Nothing about the pre-life of the phone.
It was a risky buy, but I am after a lot of flashing on my other phones and I give it a try...
As I received the phone, I started fastboot and I saw this:

Product_Name - QC_Reference_Phone
Variant - SDM EMMC
Bootloader Version -
Baseband Version -
Serial Number - LC87J1J00526
Secure Boot - no
Device State - unlocked

Fastboot menus (with the volume buttons):
-Recovery Mode
-Power Off
-Boot to FFBM
-Boot to QMMI
-Start
-Restart Bootloader

Checked with fastboot command:
fastboot flashing unlock - Device already : unlocked!

The phone has an empty recovery, data and system partition.
So I think I need the complete firmware, stock or custom or GSI but it seems nobody cares this phone, I don't find anything!
Maybe somebody can do a flashable backup of the U12 life for me?
Thanks in advance!

I need root for privacy, help!
Just a ota of last update is needed to extract boot image for patching with magisk.
Common, this is possible easy.

The "downloads" has stopped working permentely! it's a system application and it's seems there's a straight way to reinstall it or fix it.

There are other applications to navigate folders and files of course but some apps can't use other alternative without difficulties (like Outlook)
