This command is specific to TCL-manufactured BlackBerry devices (KEYone, KEY2, Motion). It is not a standard Android Fastboot command. It is a proprietary engineering escape hatch.
Before downloading anything, check the sticker under the battery or the box. The KeyOne has different variants. Flashing the wrong file will hard-brick the phone.
