But is there a working Super SU (instead of Magisk) for Oreo for RNE devices ?

Works like a charm
Made an account just to say that i had previously messed up the recovery by installing an incompatible (outdated) TWRP recovery, however this works like a charm.
I need some help however regarding the fact that i tried installing xposed framework from magisk manager that caused my device to bootloop, i was able to get it running back by factory reset and dalvik cache cleaning, the problem however is that i have lost huawei services (health app says its incompatible) and apps such as whatsapp also say that theyre incompatible with my device. Any help would be appreciated. If i could go back to stock completely and start over i'll accept that too as i cant re-flash stock rom (perhaps cause im already on stock rom)
My Model is RNE-L21C130 (if you can provide a backup for me to restore from that would make my day)

If you're using Stock Firmware you can search on xda the unofficial TWRP for P10 Lite by @Pretoriano80 I use this on Mate 10 Lite, it has encryption/decryption support and is working perfectly for everything.
It just doesn't work if you use AOSP based Roms. But for Stock Firmware and Root it works like a charm.

Yes, I use it on RNE-L21 8.0.0.311. Flash new TWRP in Fastboot Mode.
It will work, if your internal storage is original encrypted by the Firmware (it is, if you haven't formatted data)

So i flashed this image and its working but i still cant pass the safteynet check in magisk i could pass it only in the twrp provided by azan mughal for mate 10 lite oreo but that caused my device to reboot into recovery and never into system.
Also why does this twrp ask for my decryption password can i turn it off? And i cant seem to insall updates. I have a security update when i press update it reboots into twrp (same with the previous versions i had) i locate the update.zip but it gives me error 9

I tried the backup and it's working
But one thing I'm curious about is that when i reboot to recovery it asks me for password and starts decryption but there's a line "failed to unmount system device or resource busy"

1) Safetynet has nothing to do with TWRP
2) This TWRP ask you for your PIN, if you use a PIN for screen unlock. It's for security. If you don't use PIN for screen unlock, TWRP don't ask you
3) You are "Newbie" Everyone which owns a Huawei Phone should know in the meantime that's not possible to make official OTA updates with TWRP and/or Root.

About Team win recovery project
TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.
Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.

Hi Raghu, I appreciate the work you are doing for the Nokia community!
I have a question... if I boot directly into TWRP instead of flashing TWRP over my stock recovery, is it truly necessary to reflash the stock recovery? Like for instance, I only want to load magisk on my device/create a nandroid backup and keep stock recovery and stock OS until the Android Q release. Though, from experience from other devices I have owned... booting directly into TWRP instead of flashing only is temporary and keeps the stock recovery intact. I am not sure from your tutorial if I truly need to flash my stock recovery after just booting TWRP temporarily?

if you want to get back to your stock recovery just flash your stock boot.img of the respective security patch
for example you flashed twrp on may 2019 pie
and now you want to get back to stock recovery?
so just flash using fastboot flash boot boot.img ( may 2019 boot.img)

so just flash using fastboot flash boot boot.img ( may 2019 boot.img)

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, I couldn't pull my stock recovery from adb and had to use the terminal inside TWRP to pull my recovery. After successfully getting stock recovery, I patched the stock recovery (after copying) to my external SD with magisk and flashed that via adb. Magisk is now installed and I am satisfied.
Note: this is relatively the first time I am leaving stock recovery on my device vs custom recovery to keep the OTA updates. This is because there isn't much of a dev community here at the moment and not much to do on the device.

Hi,
I used to be into flashing phones back in the day but now I'm a bit rusty so my question is simple:
Do I have to unlock the bootloader first before I can flash twrp? It is a painpoint for me on this phone that there is no simple way to do that.
Thanks.

Before you can modify anything on a phone you always have to unlock the bootloader. Since Nokia does not allow official bootloader unlocks, we have to go through a paid method (see other threads about unlocking the bootloader here).
this guy will do it for a small fee well worth it ...

Android 10 TWRP doesn't work on 7.1 december update
Hey,
Thanks for all the hard work you're putting into this project, really helped me when I was using android 9.
But I can't seem to make the latest version you uploaded work now that I'm on android 10. When I try to boot the image file I'm stuck on the android one logo, no matter how much I wait.
So I was wondering if the latest update isn't supported yet or if I'm doing something wrong.
Really sorry to bother you if it's the former.
Have a nice day.

according to your info i tested again on my Nokia 6.1 Plus android 10 stock rom based on december security patch.
Nokia 7 Plus , Nokia 7.1 , Nokia 6.1 & Nokia 6.1 Plus all sources are same
so it should work on 7.1 too make sure you re flashed stock rom and test again because trying several times on same partition may corrupt and failed to boot.

I'm stuck at "boot TWRP" step as there is only the android one boot screen and I can only reboot. Though for some reason I can still use some fastboot commands (such as fastboot reboot bootloader).
I never modified the system partition on my phone through fastboot, only flashed a magisk patched boot.img when I was still on android 9.
Before upgrading to android 10, I patched the stock boot.img and did a factory reset. Then I did all the available updates through the phone update system. Never used a custom rom, so everything should be stock.
Forgot to mention but the phone isn't bricked or anything, it work normally without any issue. I just can't run TWRP for some reason.
Here's the oem information if that can help you
Thanks and have a nice day

Hi,
I flashed my nokia 7.1 like instructed and everything went well (though I noticed it wasn't the latest version, but that's a detail).
Went into the bootloader and tried running TWRP but still had the same issue as before (stuck on the android one boot, it was a totally stock ROM, the one provided on your other post).
So I used the boot.img from the stock ROM you uploaded and patched it, then flashed it in the bootloader and it worked.
So even though TWRP still doesn't work in the end I did what I wanted to do, so thanks for your help.
And again, thanks for all the work you're doing, sorry to bother you.
Have a nice day.
Same problem here - unlocked my sons' Nokia 7.1 today via techmestos service, rebooted into the downgraded Android, entered setup and started the mandatory Android upgrade, went through that successfully, activated ADB, got into Download mode and ran the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-CTL_sprout-10.0-20200109.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.058s]
booting...
OKAY [ 5.058s]
finished. total time: 6.116s
Phone screen changed to the 'bootloader unlocked' screen and then the usual AndroidOne boot screen appeared. But neither TWRP nor Android came up ...
The downloaded files are OK, I checked the sha1sum on both of them
Any hints what to do here?`How can I help to track this down?

TWRP went official so technically you can go to the TWRP site and download the current there
In addition to it going official, there is no need to download both the img and zip installer with it.
https://dl.twrp.me/CTL_sprout/
You can now just flash (fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-CTL_sprout.img).
https://twrp.me/nokia/nokia7.1.html
Things to keep in mind: If you have a PIN or Passcode you should disable it on the ROM before booting up to TWRP because of encryption.
If you flash another ROM such as Lineage OS shortly after flashing TWRP, it will replace the TWRP with the Lineage OS recovery. So you will probably have to flash TWRP again.
I hope that this works?!
i have android 9 is there a twrp image for 9?
Alas, this does not help, the same problem, the phone hangs on the logo)
P.S
executed the commands like this:
fastboot flash recovery (error issued)
fastboot boot
and successfully loaded into TWRP

Warning: This TWRP Recovery is only useful for installing custom ROMs.
Currently there's no way to use this recovery on stock in any meaningful way without future addons
(Data partition cannot be read because of LG default encryption)
You cannot install or backup anything while you have LG Encryption enabled. A future addon can disable it.
<-- Requirements​
An Bootloader unlocked LG G7 ThinQ by any means. (official or unofficial) (G710TM Models are impossible to be supported, sorry)
More information on officially unlocking the LG G7 here: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
Running minimum LG Stock Android 9 Pie (AOSP GSI does not count)
A PC and ADB + Fastboot
The temper to read twice
<-- Needed files​
You only need this boot image:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FcIBNfL3_72cQwuxd2TyZSjnC-ItnNTt
For developers who want to build their own TWRP Boot image here's the device-tree for it
https://github.com/LameMonster82/android_device_lge_judyln-twrp
<-- Installation​
Step 1: Enter Fastboot mode
Connect your phone to your PC with a USB Cable
Restart the phone
While the phone is restarting hold Volume down button.
Note: Make sure you hold Volume down button before you see the black and white "LG G7 ThinQ" text
If you see the red LG Logo you either messed up or you don't have access to fastboot mode witch is another problem i can't solve easily.
If done correctly you should be in Fastboot now
Step 2: Install the boot image
Open the command prompt or your terminal (depending on what PC Platform you are)
Type:
Code:
fastboot boot [B][TWRP Boot image location][/B]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: This TWRP is only temporarily (it does not overwrite the bootimage). When you reboot it will dissapear and you will need to redo the fastboot command.
You're done. Now you can use TWRP to install custom ROMs

The best way you can set the TWRP Boot image location is to manually "drag and drop" the file itself in your command prompt
Also make sure you "drag and drop" the TWRP Boot image before you type --set=active=a
Don't forget --set-active=a has 2 little lines at the beginning. No space between them.
Step 3: Enter Recovery mode
Restart the phone (using power button if you're still in fastboot)
Before the phone turns off hold Volume down and power button
The moment you see the black and white "LG G7 ThinQ" Text start clicking the power button as much as you can without letting the Volume down button.
If done correctly you should see a white screen with "Factory reset" text on top.
If you done step 2 correctly clicking yes on both prompts on the phone will get you to TWRP
For people who still have trouble getting into recovery mode here's a visual example of how to enter recovery mode (youtube) https://youtu.be/_0yoFEvIods
Note: You don't have to be in system. Rebooting from bootloader will still work

Nope. The problem is there are no blobs to use. Yeah keymaster is there but keystore module is missing from the vendor and the system. The closest thing I found was lgkm module that looks like a proprietary keystore module for lg

Is this recovery "persistent"? Why it is not possible to use this recovery to flash/root magisk on stock roms?
Thank you.
is it needed for magisk?
hello,
stock LG Pie (v20c) with bootloader unlocked. do i need to install this (TWRP) in order to root it with the magisk file from your drive, or will it work without?

No need to install TWRP for root. Just follow the guide there and you should be fine.
How strict is the Android Pie requirement before installing TWRP?
I have a G710VM that I'm trying to get LineageOS onto. I've already gotten the bootloader unlocked, but it seems like, so far, I can only get bootloader access by using the ULM 8.0 ROM (ULM11g). If I try the European 9.0 (EM20b) or ULM 9.0 (ULM20d) ROMs, I lose bootloader and fastboot access.
Also, is this TWRP a persistent TWRP, or semi- or non-persistent.
I also apologize in advance if I use the wrong terminology or make the wrong assumptions as this is my first attempt at unlocking a phone and putting a custom OS on it.

All flashing is done at your own risk!
While nothing from this thread should break your device,
don't come back here blaming anyone if it does!
Introduction
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel!

Installation instructions
Fastboot Install Method:
You will need the platform-tools from the Android SDK on your computer. Find the Android command line tools section on the page linked and install the SDK tools package. From the SDK Manager, download only the platform-tools to get adb and fastboot binaries.
Windows users will need proper drivers installed on their computer. You can try the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed
On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img
fastboot flash recovery_b twrp.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
Alternate Installation Method (requires prior TWRP installation):
TWRP Image Install method:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily within TWRP if you already have version 2.8.4.0 or higher installed. NOTE: This will only flash TWRP to the active slot!
Download the latest version of TWRP appropriate for your device/firmware
Reboot to TWRP
Hit Install and tap the "Install Image" button in the lower right
Browse to the location of the TWRP image on your device and select it
Select recovery from the partition list and swipe to flash

Bug Reporting
If you have an issue, the first step is to post a recovery log so we can determine the cause of the issue. This is done in recovery using Advanced -> Copy Log, or adb pull /tmp/recovery.log. Once a log is uploaded we can determine how best to proceed. NOTE: Posts that are reporting bugs or issues without an accompanying recovery log will be ignored! Additionally, providing details about your device setup, including variant, firmware version, and exact steps to reproduce your issue will also be helpful in diagnosing the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I install an OTA while rooted and keep TWRP/root?
Full Firmware zip - in Android
Prerequisites:
Full Firmware zip for new software
TWRP zip from twrp.me
Magisk app
Steps:
Put Full Firmware zip on root of internal storage
Reboot the device so that the update is detected
Install the update
After install completes BUT BEFORE REBOOTING, install TWRP zip in Magisk app
Install Magisk "to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" in Magisk app
Reboot and you're updated with TWRP and root retained
Full Firmware zip - Through TWRP
Prerequisites:
Full Firmware zip for new software
TWRP image or TWRP zip from twrp.me
Magisk apk (optional)
Steps:
Reboot into TWRP
Navigate to Full Firmware zip and install, or sideload zip over adb
Install TWRP image using "Install Image" (check "Flash to both slots" option), or flash TWRP zip to retain TWRP.
(Optional) Reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk for root.
Incremental OTA package - Through TWRP ONLY
Prerequisites (for stock images, see attachments to post #3):
Current software stock boot.img
Current software stock recovery.img
Current software stock dtbo.img (only if modified by Magisk or custom ROM)
Incremental OTA zip for current software to new software
TWRP image or TWRP zip from twrp.me
Magisk apk (optional)
Steps:
Ensure you have the latest version of TWRP installed. If you don't, follow the instructions in the OP to flash it.
Boot into TWRP.
Use the "Install Image" feature to flash the stock boot and recovery (and dtbo) images.
Flash the incremental OTA zip. Make a note of the slot to which the zip is installing (you will need this after the next step).
Install TWRP image using "Install Image" (check "Flash to both slots" option), or flash TWRP zip to retain TWRP.
Open the Reboot menu in TWRP and switch to the slot to which the zip installed from step 4. Reboot to system now, or go to the next step.
(Optional) Reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk for root.
The key here is making sure the current slot is fully stock (including boot and recovery images) in order for the incremental OTA zip to install successfully.
What's the deal with these dynamic partitions?
Here's Google's explanation.
Why can't I write to system?
Dynamic partitions (see link above). See @topjohnwu's detailed explanation here.
How do I make modifications to system?
On the stock ROM, you don't. However, you can modify system "systemlessly" with Magisk.
Can I boot the recovery image without flashing it?
No. Fastboot boot isn't possible on this device, but since there's a separate recovery partition (two in fact), and ASUS provides full stock firmware, this isn't a big concern.
What is fastbootd?
Here's Google's explanation.
Can I back up the system/vendor partition separately?
No. Because dynamic partitions. The Super partition is backed up and restored in its entirety. If you need to flash the individual images, use fastbootd.
Why can't I restore X partition (read-only error)?
Some of the partitions that can be backed up in TWRP include sensitive device data which, if corrupted, backed up, and then restored, can irreparably damage the device. Therefore, while these partitions can be backed up in TWRP, only experienced users should restore them, which can be done manually via the dd command.
(I will not provide any additional details on this procedure)

This happened to me before when my device data partition got corrupted. You'll have to do a RAW flash that uses fastboot -w to clean up the corrupted data. Then TWRP should work. Unfortunately that is unrelated to TWRP.

sup guys. been a long time that i havent installed twrp.

Well, unlocking the bootloader means you won't get an OTA from ASUS anymore, but that has nothing to do with TWRP. When a new OTA becomes available, you will be able to flash the full firmware file in TWRP, if that's what you're asking.
EDIT: Installing TWRP won't prevent you from being able to place a firmware file on the root of your storage so that the system updater will detect and install it, either. That process happens outside of recovery so flashing TWRP is unrelated to it. However note that after flashing an OTA update, TWRP will need to be flashed again, as the OTA will write stock recovery to the slot where the OTA is installed.

Where is the recovery log from the TWRP boot where it was prompting for password? The OP clearly states that a log should be included with any issues. Do me a favor and try flashing the TWRP attached and let me know if it boots.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-2qBUqYv0AWnvqDmxIY2DqRqwG5dSwHg/view?usp=drivesdk
If it does, I can adjust the TWRP image linked in the OP. If it doesn't, I'll definitely need a log to understand the issue, and your device details.
So I did some testing, and it appears that if you're not on the latest .58 firmware, then TWRP may not boot successfully. Can anyone that has had an issue with booting TWRP please report their device variant and firmware version? If you're not on the latest, please update and then try TWRP.
WW 2007.58 Full Firmware: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...US_I003_1-ASUS-17.0823.2007.58-1.1.9-user.zip
CN 2007.58 Full Firmware: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS661KS/UL-ASUS_I003_1-CN-17.0823.2007.58-1.1.45-user.zip
If that doesn't work, let me know.
EDIT: Actually I need to check again. I think I broke my TWRP tree so it may not be the kernel at all :/
Hey sorry for taking such a long time to reply, life happened to me.
I am on the latest firmware (cn_17.0823.2007.58)
I am sorry as I didn't send the recovery log, I will be testing the latest twrp you attached for me with the Google drive and let you know the results shortly :good:
Edit: the same happens with this twrp file too, it just shows the loading screen and boots to system directly, would you want me to clean flash and then do the recovery all over again with the logs?
Edit 2: by any chance would be able to get hold of the stock_recovery.img or do you know any way to flash the stock rom without recovery? FYI my version is cn_17.0823.2007.58 ,will recovery from any version work though?

So maybe there is some difference with the CN device that's causing this issue. Everyone it's working for is running WW firmware. Not sure what's different with the CN firmware, but that's unsettling.
Since the full firmware file is available, you can just use payload dumper to get the stock recovery image.
And yes, a clean flash with logs would be great, thanks!

So yours is Tencent converted to WW? I'm going to build a TWRP with the CN kernel and if that makes any difference. There must be something different with the Tencent variant that's causing the kernel panic.

[GUIDE]Bootloader Unlock Realme C12

After 6 months from launch date, we finally got bootloader unlock permission on March 2nd 2020 for Realme C12 initially based on Realme UI 1.0. Later Realme gave permission for UI 2.0 too.
Before doing anything to device, keep a copy of Stock ROM from here in your PC or SD Card.
Unlocking bootloader will trip safetynet. If you want to use bank apps or some apps that use SafetyNet, then you have to pass SafetyNet. To pass it we have to use a Magisk module called 'Universal SafetyNet fix' Or use a custom rom or GSI that uses it if you dont want Magisk.
Also locking bootloader seems to lead 'Red State' in many devices. This can only be solved by going to Service Center. So be prepared for it. To get rid of it flash stock rom once even if you didn't done any modifications.
Prerequisites:-​- A PC
- USB Cable(We can use charger cable)
- Platform-tools
- Patience
Step 0 - Great! You're ready to go. Make sure to backup your phone's data before continuing on with this tutorial, as unlocking will make it factory reset (wipe)!
Step 1 - Download and Open In Depth Tool from below
For UI 1.0 https://download.c.realme.com/flash/Unlock_tool/DeepTest_realmeC12.apk
For UI 2.0 https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1526491339024314368

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2 - Click “Start applying”.
Step 3 - Please read the disclaimer in detail, select the checkbox, and submit your application
Step 4 - The Application Will be checked by realme Servers..(Wait 10 mins)
Step 5 - Go back. Remove app from Recent apps. Open the app and click on Query verification status which is at top right
Step 6 - You can now click “Start the in-depth test” and the device will reboot to fastboot mode automatically. The following string will display on the screen: fast boot_unlock_verify ok
Step 7 - Now Download and install the fastboot tool on your PC and Connect the device to PC using USB cable and ready to unlock it.
Step 8 - Now you are in Fastboot Mode. Type this command
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
in command prompt of PC and Press enter.
Step 9 - On your phone press the Volume Down key to select "UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER” (or press the Volume Up key if you have changed your mind to select "DO NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER”).
Step 10 - Now type
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Your phone will reboot and all user data on the phone will be erased - I recommend you perform a data backup prior to applying.
And there you go! Your phone will reboot and you can set it all up again. with the ability to root and you can also install GSIs/custom ROMs/recovery!
After unlocking, flash stock rom once from stock recovery to fix some 'Red state' issue and fastboot errors that may lead to GSI booting issues. See this for flashing stock rom. With this you will also get a idea of flashing stock rom.​
Q: Will unlocking my bootloader void my warranty?
A: No, it will not. Unless you brick your device.
Q: I tried unlocking my bootloader but, PC doesn't detect my phone, even though it's in fastboot mode and connected. Help?
A: Here are some things you can try:
- Try another USB port.​- Try another USB cable.​- Download and install exe for 64-bit and 32-bit​- Restart PC​- Connect device to PC​- Go to Device Manager​- Double Click on Unidentified Realme C12(Device with exclamation mark)​- Click on Update Driver​- Select Browser my computer​- Select Let me pick​- Select Android Device​- Click on Next​Enjoy!​
Q: I am getting carrier-customized phone?
A: See this
Relock your bootloader
Locking bootloader without flashing stock rom again may lead to 'Red State'(can only be fixed by flashing stock rom with PC). So before locking bootloader, flash stock rom in stock recovery and boot to stock rom once.
Tutorial:
Step 0 - Flash stock ROM in stock recovery.(Don't skip this step even if you haven't done any modification)
Step 1 - Download the unlock tool again to apply to exit the in-depth test.
Step 2 - Click “Apply to exit in-depth test”. You should manual operation enter the Fastboot mode(Press both the Volume down button and the Power button when power is off).
Step 3 - In the Fastboot mode, use the engineering command below on your PC to re-lock the bootloader.
- Enter the command: fastboot flashing lock​Step 4 - Press the Volume Down button to select the “Lock bootloader” option (or press the Volume Up button to select “Do not lock bootloader" and keep it unlocked).
Step 5 - Then enter command fastboot reboot. The phone will reboot. All user data on the phone will be erased - we recommend you perform a data backup prior to applying.
Thanks

We have both TWRP and custom ROMs too. But they are in C11 forums. All C11 things can be used in C12 and C15(MTK) too. So have a look at https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/realme-c11-roms-kernels-recoveries-other-deve.10991/
Also join us at Telegram by searching 'Realme C12'.

I have two questions
1. I have a Realme c12 device (Realme UI 1.0), it's device model is RMX2189 but the link you provided has only RMX2185 version. Can I flash that stock rom in my phone?
2. I am from Bangladesh, which region version should I flash? (Egypt, Combodia, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Vietnam)

For first question, you can install RMX2185 version. Since C11, C12 and C15 use RMX2185 for stock rom ozips.
For second question, I am not sure what to do with your region.

Thanks a lot. I am facing some problems while trying to unlock bootloader. (Forgive me, I am a noob )
I have successfully installed platform-tools, granted usb debugging permission and rebooted my phone to fastboot mode from depth tool. It's showing "fast boot_unlock_verify ok".
Now if I enter the command "fastboot flashing unlock" in command prompt window, it's showing this message: "waiting for device" and nothing is happening afterwards... Am I missing any drivers? (My cable is ok)
@Shawmik
Yeah you are doing right.
But seems like drivers are not installed.
See the questions in bottom of my guide to get solution.

I don't know why I am facing these weird issues, sorry for bothering you...
I have installed the driver you mentioned in the questions section, now if I connect my phone while in fastboot mode, my PC detects it but if I give the command "fastboot flashing unlock", the command prompt still shows "Waiting for device"...
And I tried going to device manager and manually update my device drivers (as you guided), still the same
