[Oppo F15/MT6771] - Device has is either already unlocked or algo is unknown. Aborting.

[pram0dm]

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my Oppo F15 and I'm hit with the DaHandler - [LIB]: Device has is either already unlocked or algo is unknown. Aborting. issue.

This may seem to be a duplicate of many earlier posts, but I didn't find any convincing answers to the issues that were reported.

Can you please let me know what might be causing this situation?

Below is the complete output for your perusal.

You must realize that some devices might have a newer algorithm than what the tool currently supports...

True. But I'm hoping for the author to tell me if that's really the case or not since there are also positive outcomes to this error message.
