So its been a while since i've been involved in tinkering with android phones. I recently upgraded from an old phone that suddenly died and bought an ASUS zenfone online which seems to be from Taiwan. Its a new phone and all. I see that I can install LineageOS 19 on this phone which is something I'd like to do ASAP. When I looked at the instructions, it mentions that I need to unlock the bootloader via ASUS's tool. I downloaded said apk but keep getting an error message like "Failed to unlock your device please try again later [24802]". Is there a known workaround to this error? This phone is brand new and arrived today and I made sure to update the system to the latest android 13. It did return this error even before I updated.
I'm not sure if this is because of the missing "OEM unlocking" option in developer settings? I search online and can't seem to find a way to make this setting visible? Anyone know how to?
Any help would be appreciated.
