Narrative:

I was PNF (pilot not flying). We were slowed to 210 kts. My first officer (first officer) called for flaps 1 and we got the siren; EICAS message te (trailing edge) flap disagree; and annunciator light. I told ATC that our flaps were stuck and that we need time to work on the issue. ATC said they would vector us around. I told the first officer to fly and talk while I ran the QRH.I ran the te flap disagree checklist which directed us to the te flap asymmetry checklist. There was some confusion when the 1st checklist transitioned to the 2nd because it seemed that we were going to land with 20 flaps ref +20 then the 2nd checklist directed us to land only with the le (leading edge) slats out and 30 ref +40. We held to run the checklists; determined bingo fuel of 7.0; had a major discussion about the checklist ambiguity; and after speaking with maintenance; determined that our te flaps were not going to extend so we set 30 ref +40. We [advised ATC] and went direct and vectors to the runway.I set auto brakes at 4; slowed to 170 kts; and extended the gear. The approach was uneventful and we turned off at mid field. We terminated the [flight]; clearing the runway; but crash fire rescue equipment (crash fire rescue); wanted to image the brakes when we arrived at the gate. Our brake temperatures never exceeded 4 on #3 forward brake; the others were 2 or less. We secured the airplane.
