I, a non-geek, must be doing something stupid. I never used android (privacy concern).
I decided to post a bunch of pictures. Hopefully someone can see something wrong.
First I login to the phone and look at setting: about phone. When I tap build number, I see
a box that say "No need, you are already a developer."

When I search for oem, I see "OEM unlocking: Allow the bootloader to be unlocked."

If I click it, I see it is "ON".

I plug the USB cable into the computer, enter "adb reboot fastboot". On the phone,
-> select "English"
-> select "Advanced"
-> select "reboot to fastboot"
I see

On computer, I type and get
$ fastboot flashing unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed
')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Again, this phone was brought "new factory unlocked" from ebay. And it is a BE2026 model.
Also I am in USA - west coast (earthquake land).
Can you spot if I did something stupid?
Thank in advanced for helping.
