You need to use fastboot commands in the bootloader, not adb.

[Completed] How to enter download mode without buttons!

Hello,
Need help in entering download mode in Samsung device without the buttons. is there any way to do that.
Got tired searching all last week with no answer
Thanks.
Hi and welcome to assist,
Yes you can, if USB debugging is enabled and the phone is rooted, connect the phone to a PC, run adb (Mini-SDK includes it) and type
adb shell<press Enter>
su<press Enter>
reboot download<press Enter>

metro PCs moxee tab2

looking to unlock bootloader for this device konnectone Moxee tab2 sold by metro I can't find a thing anywhere not even fake walkthroughs. does anyone know
Developer options >> OEM unlock bootloader
Activate USB debugging
Then use this commands
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
I've tried those except for adb and fastboot devices and returned error unknown command flashing. do I need to. I'm not new at any of this but definitely no expert. I never really did use those commands on any other devices. I always thought it was for user piece of mind knowing device is connected

if you never tried or used adb, i strongly suggest stopping here. give it a rest or you will hard brick your device.
I'm sorry man I didn't mean fastboot and adb in whole just adb devices and fastboot devices commands. how important are those 2 commands is what I was asking because will it make a difference if I left thos 2 out. because I've never used them in past always thought they were optional
so I do all from beginning of your post this is what I get at fastboot flashing unlock
and this is the readout of when I put the device into fastbootd

ADB not seeing phone when in recovery

Hey everybody. I'm back from a long hiatus from rooting phones. I'm wanting to root my OP 8T, and adb is not seeing the phone when in recovery mode, so I can't even begin.
Win10, pretty sure drivers are up to date, adb up to date.
Computer and adb both see the phone when it's powered on normally, but I have to choose usb mode every time I plug it in. I suspect the adb not seeing it in recovery mode may have something to do with this, but I'm just guessing. I'm not sure how to overcome this. I know plenty of people have rooted this phone, so I don't get it.
Would be happy for any input on this issue. Idk where to go from here, and it's really frustrating, bc I'm excited to switch to this phone.
TIA
Have you tried checking Windows update when the phone is plugged in and in recovery mode? Do you have the Google fastboot drivers? Qualcomm drivers? OnePlus drivers? Are you using CMD or PowerShell for adb?

yes, why should you? adb not available in recovery mode, expected behaviour.

sure not from adb or recovery. did you mean fastboot? then boot phone into bootloader mode and install Android Bootloader Interface drivers.

It's been so long since I did this...I don't remember much about the procedure. I was just following the instructions. It said to turn it off, and then hold down and power to boot into fastboot mode. Then to connect it and type the reboot bootloader cmd.
I am using powershell.
These instructions aren't very good, I realize now. -_-
I guess I don't have the fastboot drivers...I'll try to get those and make another attempt. Thanks, I'll get back to you.
the driver is included in the same android_winusb.inf where the ADB driver is. you just need to disable windows driver signature enforcement before trying to install.
once you see device in 'fastboot devices' proceed with bootloader unlocking.

Okay, well, this will make things difficult. Am I missing something here...???
Okay, hang on, I think I found the right instructions to install the sdkmanager... Ugh.
not sure what you are trying, but to run fastboot commands either navigate with cd into platform-tools directory from cmd.exe or in powershell type the path to file like this:
Code:
.\fastboot devices

So, I followed these instructions exactly, and it's saying that sdkmanager is not a thing that exists.
Awesome. Super useful instructions. I never thought simply putting the tools needed to root my phone on my computer would be such a colossal pain in the ass.
I have never used sdkmanager and I don't know how that would involved in bootloader unlocking or rooting. It is also not mentioned anywhere in this device forum.

Please go back to post #6. as we can see you're in folder "platform-tools" (left side of the cursor in your PowerShell window). This folder contains the files "adb.exe" and "fastboot.exe" and some more.
As a normal Windows user you would try to start these .exe files with a double click. Don't try it because it won't start anything. These .exe files are not executables, they are binaries. To run them you need to enter "adb" or "fastboot". That's all.
You need to use this: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
And LineageOS have a great installation document: https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide
According to the instructions, I need to use the Sdk manager to install the fastboot drivers.
In order to get that, I apparently need the command line tools.
In order to get those enabled/installed in sdk, I need the Sdk manager...??? I'm so confused.

Holy ****, thank you.
Okay, I am in Fastboot mode, and I'm getting ready to install Twrp, but...it says my Device State is locked. Does that mean my bootloader is not unlocked? Because it is supposed to be.

The Platform Tools are part of the Android SDK. But Google offers them also as a single download, excluded from the Android SDK:
It's not wrong to install the whole SDK. But it's too much if only 2 binaries are being used.
how did you unlock the bootloader without fastboot?
