Hello there,

I've read many topics and watched many videos before bothering you guys here so I'm sorry if my question is too stupid or inappropriate, but I'm lost and really want get this done and play with my phone.. I'm new to android at all, coming from jailbroken iOS which I don't like that much these days, so I wanted to give android a try. First of all I'm using:

ubuntu 18.04
Nokia 7.1 - Android 10
model: TA-T1100
Build number: 00WW_4_08B_SP01

what I did:
1. downloaded fastboot and adb tools to my system by typing this in terminal
Code:
apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
Code:
apt-get install android-tools-adb
everything works fine, so next step for me was unlocking developer mode on my phone by taping on build number in about phone settings serval times after unlocking developer mode I allowed USB debugging in developer options.

now when I type this in my terminal
Code:
adb devices
Now after allowing debugging I can see my phone listed here

when I try type
Code:
fastboot devices
nothing happens

same with
Code:
fastboot reboot
terminal keep waiting for the device to connect but nothing happens

but when I try
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
my phone restarts and here comes the trouble... android-one logo appears with tiny text in the left corner which says "download mode" I gave it good 20 minutes but nothing else happens, noting else appears only what I can do is restart my phone by long pressing "turn on" button and boot normally

so if anyone can help me get thru this and actually root my phone I'd be grateful

have a nice day everyone
