Hello all. I'm new to the forum but not so new to rooting and such. I am in the process of rooting my Nexus 5 via Ubuntu and keep getting stuck at the bootloader command "./fastboot oem unlock" I've tried about 30 different ways and searched and searched. The bootloader will not show the next screen where it says Yes or No. Fastboot and adb both recognize the device in Terminal when connected. I type in the correct commands, get three dots, then it just sits. Nothing happens. Ive re traced my steps and started over at least 20 times. LMY48l Android 5.1.1 Kernal 3.4.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My device is a One Plus One. I've installed an ADB driver from here: adbdriver (some site I've searched up on google) (Is this even safe? I've never seen anyone use this link before or maybe it's new. It's not a virus is it?)
So once I've installed it, I've typed all commands such as adb while my device is turned on but then when it gets to where I have to press my powerbutton+volume down and then go into the recovery screen, I see "Cyanogen Recovery" or whatever but that's what it says. Suddenly on my computer, the ADB device disappears altogether and I cannot see my One Plus One storage anymore (it's connected and even If I unconnect and reconnect it's still the same). I believe I've unlocked my phone already before so is this why? I just want to make sure and type fastboot oem device-info but when I type that nothing comes up. I've been trying to solve this and I don't know what to do anymore... Is it because I've already unlocked my device (but even I'm not sure if it's still unlocked and that's why I'm trying to confirm it by typing "fastboot oem device-info" which doesn't even work. Help please!

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. To get you the expert help you need, I'm going to move this thread to your specific device Q&A forum.
Good luck!
You need to boot into bootloader by pressing volume up + power.
Then you can use "fastboot devices" to see if your OPO is being recognised.
"fastboot oem device-info" only works when you boot to bootloader
ADB is not fastboot btw.

ADB does only work when your phone is booted to the Android system and USB-Debugging is enabled

It's my first post on this forum, so I'm saying hello.
I've recently bought Nexus S which after turning on is stuck on Google logo, but I could enter fastboot and recovery. But it has locked bootloader. I tried unlocking it by "fastboot oem unlock" but it asks me if I'm sure and then i click yes it freezes (phone not fastboot). I tried it using different drivers, machines, operating systems, cables, but still nothing. Unbrick tool by AdamOutler says that "device not found". When trying to flash stock image by Odin on the phone there is message if I'm sure that I want to unlock bootloader but with nothing to choose, and after while it shows by red characters that system image was verified.
I don't know past of this phone. (I have no idea, which version of android was it running)
I'd be extremely helpful for any kind of advice.
Hi, I'm trying to unlock my phone so I can install Kali Linux on my A466BG. I've read a lot on the web but came to a problem. I've got Android SDK on my PC and installed platform-tools. My device shows up after entering "adb devices." I've enabled developer mode and usb debugging and OEM unlocking. My problem is...I can't unlock the bootloader and use fastboot. After pressing power and up volume I get into the menu (and I actually reset my phone to factory settings so I'll have more space) but I can't find bootloader. My phone shows up fine on my PC and under devices, but when I switch to the other menu (with reset options) it doesn't show up anymore. Not even under "adb devices." I tried entering "adb reboot-bootloader" but it just restarts and goes to the normal android phone screen. I tried "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" and it says "waiting for device." I'm not sure how to boot into fastboot and unlock my bootloader. Or why my phone doesn't show up on my PC after pressing power and up volume. Please reply with instructions. Thank you
Hi, me again. I found a video on YouTube on how to install Kali Nethunter on Android phones. I got it and now I'm installing Metasploit. It's just the command line but that should work. Check You Tube on "Nethunter without root" if you want to know. Thanks
I'm back...Not satisfied with Nethunter on Termux. I would like to know how to root the phone and install Kali. Can anyone look at the above question and reply with how to root my Alcatel A466BG? I'll check back tomorrow. Thanks in advance!
Hopefully someone here can help me through my problem,

Hey, I'm pretty new to this way of customizing my phone (adb, root, roms etc), and I'm trying to root my phone with Magisk. I have a patched boot.img, my bootloader is allowed to be unlocked and I'm doing exactly what the root guide says (https://www.mobilewithdrivers.com/magisk-root/blu-g60-64gb-3gb-ram) but it wont work, I keep getting different errors and I see all my fellow droid users so happy with their rooted devices, I want to root mine too. So what I'm asking is; Can someone with an actual brain (Mine wont work) to try and help me out or walk me through step-by-step?
Thanks for reading!
Some of the issues I have:
"adb reboot booter" and "fastboot reboot bootloader" both reboot the device but in the top left corner it says "fastboot mode" and just freezes, when I do any command it just says "device null" but when I reconnect the USB cable, it just powers off.
"fastboot flashing unlock" results in "FAILED (remote: Not implemet.)" Yes, spelt like that.
"fastboot oem unlock" says, unkown cmd...
Wrong driver in use. Use the one provided by BLU suitable to your phone.
i couldnt find any drivers for the exact device, only google ones...
any ideas?
If you have a mac, you could try that. They usually don't require drivers.
I'm having trouble unlocking the bootloader, I've tried 3 times and can't figure it out, when I input (Fastboot oem unlock) it just says "waiting for device" and does nothing, what should I do??
It's a driver issue, fastboot doesn't even see your device. Get fastboot drivers installed, theres a trillion tutorials on XDA and other places for how to do that if you're not sure how.
