LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS can be a permission issue. Maybe the udev rule for fastboot devices is not installed? (/lib/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules)

When you install the common adb tools (sudo apt install android-sdk-platform-tools-common on Ubuntu) it will install the udev rule and there should be no more permission issues.

i'm using fedora

[Wildtick]

ok just tried it and now it says

No match for argument: android-sdk-platform-tools-common
Error: Unable to find a match: android-sdk-platform-tools-common

i'm i typing it in wrong or what?

[patrislav1]

I don't have a Fedora system so I can't give a step by step instruction here.

If your issue is caused by lack of access permissions, your choices are (in order of preference):

• Install udev rules to make the fastboot device user-accessible
• If you can't do that, find the fastboot device file with lsusb and chmod a+rw it to make it world accessible
• If that also fails, run unisoc-unlock as root.
