Can't unlock bootloader, need help with drivers - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I'm trying to unlock my bootloader to install a custom rom. "adb devices" command works fine but "fastboot devices" doesn't return anything. In windows device manager i haven't updated drivers because i dont know where to download them. Any help with drivers? I have an "android bootloader interface" option there but windows warns me that it might not be compatible and might break everything.

Just downloading the adb drivers from google's own site made it work on another PC. I think my problem is that Windows has installed the wrong drivers for me. When i plug a device in for the first time, it says something like "setting up your device". I think during that point it installed wrong drivers on my own PC. On my brothers PC everything works like it's supposed to. Any idea how to get Windows to install the drivers again?

Problem persist when you try to install Drivers without valid signature in Windows 10.. Try to DIsable Driver Signature Enforcement..
Link to do it https://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/
Then try to install Drivers from this link :- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L7EZGx5mgeQYXO19Vsp9FWu9GXhF45Qs/view
Let me know if that helps..

I have quit the same problem expected that i already have my bootloader unlock and usb debugging turn on...
im trying to flash twrp image, after failed yesterday to apply pixen os11. I had access to fasboot mode and to flash zip etc and my drivers was instaled but now my laptop didn't reconize my phone when plug in in fastboot and is on other devices in my devices manager. I tried to install updates manualy but nothing happened.
i dont know if it is related but i did update windows between my secon attempt to flash pixen os. Maybe the drivers were update in the same occasions ? Because a i have no others problems when my phone is boot normally and can acess to internal storage from my computer.

There is no specific driver. Do you have usb debugging enabled?
I had to uninstall and reinstall drivers. Mine did the same thing.

I have been having the exact same issue. Ive noticed that when I am in recovery and adb doesnt recognize the device, it seems like it is actually windows that doesnt recognize because i go into Device Manager and see Nexus 5 with an exclamation, and if I try to install the drivers for it, it says it cannot find the proper drivers in the same folder that i originally installed the drivers from!
I am very confused and this is pissing me off, because I should have the damn OTA already and I dont!!!!

i am not rooted and do not have a custom recovery either. bur i had the same problem when i tried to side load update 4.4.1.
the problem for me was that the google usb driver that i installed did not have proper adb support for nexus 5. this is what worked for me. universal naked driver v. .73
downloaded and unzipped in a folder in desktop.
booted into recovery on the phone
windows chimed new hardware found, device manager showed nexus5 with an exclamation mark.
right clicked to update device software, pointed to unzipped folder, done.
this way after geting out of CMD phone is still recognized as MTP, so i can transfer files back and forth.

[Q] Device not found after wiping data (trying to flash CM)

Hi,
I am not sure if I can ask about upgrading to CM here? Today I tried to follow their guide from their wiki and now my I can't access anything but recovery, and adb won't work.
I installed the recovery using fastboot and unlocked the device. That worked.
After that, I wiped data/factory reset and the next stage is to push CM to my device, but the device isn't recognized by the PC (when I type adb devices no devices appear).
Now I don't have an os and cannot do anything outside of recovery. I tried clicking on mount USB storage but it doesn't open my storage on my computer. When I connect the device my computer makes sound that a USB is connected.
I tried to /mount data and pretty much everything.
Any ideas?
Sorry for bad English.
I assume you installed TWRP recovery. If yes,
click on MOUNT option,
check SYSTEM option,
disable MTP and then
Enable MTP
.. now you should be able to see the device in your computer. Copy the zip file and flash it through recovery.

You need to get adb drivers sorted out, I believe there's a guide for it on General forum.

You previously wrote, and I quote, "I installed the recovery using fastboot and unlocked the device. That worked."
^ This means to me that the connection between your bootloader (fastboot client) and your computer (fastboot host/server) is working, from which we can assume drivers FOR FASTBOOT are correctly setup.
You previously wrote, and I quote, "but the device isn't recognized by the PC (when I type adb devices no devices appear)"
^ This means to me that the connection between adb (on the phone) and adb (on the pc) is not working.
Now, if you are in a custom recovery, hook up the usb to the pc, start adb server on the pc, and you still don't see your device sn appear on the output of 'adb devices', then it means that the drivers FOR ADB aren't setup correctly.
Running a tool and then coming back saying it didn't work... That's not helpful at all. How did it not work? What version of the tool did you use? 1.4.2? 1.3? Keep in mind that you need (more likely than not, since you're probably running latest recovery versions) updated adb and fastboot binaries to API 21 version (Android 5.0). v1.3 of that tool doesn't seem to support API 21 yet.
Learn how to ask for help, please. Also, read the entire first post of this thread please: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-hep-t2807273
If you still can't get it to work, there's a thread to help out troubleshooting drivers stuff, check it out at http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nosing-usb-driver-adb-issues-windows-t2514396
Ok... Sorry for making you confused, it's not easy for me to communicate in English.
Anyway I managed to flash twrp which is much friendlier than CWM, and then I had access to my storage again. Thanks (solved).

bootloader-fastboot mode is the only time fastboot commands will work. I know you tried this "also". But I feel you are wasting your time trying to run fastboot when phone is booted (instead of focusing on the situation where fastboot should actually be working). adb and fastboot will not work at the same time by definition. Also, debugging does not need to be enabled for fastboot (only for adb).

Try a different cable, different USB port. Fastboot can be finicky sometimes. You can also go to Windows Device Manager, find the device, and see if you can manually select the drivers. There is a generic Android device driver that sometimes gets fastboot to work properly on some of my past devices. This is on Windows 7, haven't done this on WIn 10 yet, so not sure if it is exactly the same.

What's you gotta do is look up how to disable signature verification in Windows 10. Then once you done that stuff put your device in fastboot mode then on the window 10 PC open of device drivers find Android phone then bootloader update driver. There will be 2 choices for updating pick the on device one. Should do you right.
I had to do this after flashing the T-Mobile version to my international version with the msmtool and it locked my bootloader for me
Since adb is working, do an adb reboot bootloader and it'll then boot into fastboot. If you can't get a return on fastboot devices at this point, it could be you haven't oem unlocked your phone yet.

In the bootloader it states device state is unlocked
However fastboot devices ran from pc still shows no device.

This worked for me as well. Just to make it clear, rephrasing his reply. After disabling signature verification on windows 10, connect your phone in fastboot mode & open Device Manager on Windows & look for Other > Android device.If it is found, This means Windows 10 is not having proper drivers to recognize fastboot device. Now install "OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup.exe" & it will show pop up for installing driver & after accepting(this is blocked due to signature verification in normal situation), Android device will be recognized in fastboot mode.

ugh. I've tried all of these suggestions and still can't get the device listed in adb while in fastboot.
I even used the TOOL ALL IN ONE without success. Funny thing is, that program recognizes my phone being in fastboot and has it listed. But if I try to flash a recovery from there, it opens a command window and ultimately says there was an error in connecting to the device.
Any help is appreciated.
I have a similar problem. I tried to disable the signature. Installed a new Redmi Note 7 driver. The phone is recognized as an Android phone in the device manager. In Orangefox recovery it is recognized with ADB command. In fastboot it is not recognized. In Orangefox I can't format data. So my ROM is not booting up. So I want to flash fastboot ROM with Fastboot but in Fastboot device is not even recognized.

Sorry on the late reply. Pretty sure you can only do fastboot boot boot(recovery).img or\and boot_a or boot_b. Wont let you fastboot flash boot.img.

Thank you so much!
I also had same issue. my redmi note 6 pro and asus zenfone max pro m1 can be detected in adb but not in fastboot. tried everything. changing driver/disble signature verification. also tried virtual box ubuntu/window 7. but not succeeded. It is actually an issue with usb 3. so I bought usb 2 hub. now everything works fine.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you...I have been fooling with this all day
Hi, I already solved this issue (but this only works for xiaomi phone (Redmi Note 7 to be specified), for other brands I think need to download your devices flasher/driver tool)
For Xiaomi user only
1. Download Mi Unlock Tool (https://mi-globe.com/download-xiaomi-mi-unlock-tool-all-versions/) (Version 4.5.813.51)
2. Extract the files anywhere you like
3. Run MiUsbDriver.exe to install the driver
4. Try fastboot devices command
I hope this helps you guys. The Mi Unlock Tool also useful to unlock device locked bootloader.
For other devices maybe can follow this tutorial
Fixed: Fastboot not detecting your Android device
Fix the Fastboot not detecting your device. If your device is not detected by the Fastboot then these tricks will really help you.

How to root zenfone 7 ZS670KS

hello guys
how do i root this phone please.
none of the google searched guides seem to work.
1. i've unlocked the bootloader using the asus app
2. i have adb installed on my pc
3. i've enabled usb debug mode on phone and allowing installation unknown apps
4. i've installed magisk v23 by downloading from github and just installing the apk file normally
5. i've downloaded a 2.9gb zip file from asus for androind 11 firmware onto phone and pc (but its a zip file that extracts a bin file, no image file)
my problem seems to be i don't know how to CREATE AND PATCH an image file or install twrp and install image file that way.
Could someone help, there doesn't seem to be any guides for rooting in this phones forum.
Look in the twrp thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-for-asus-zenfone-7-series.4161719/
after twrp you can flash the magisk.zip

i keep getting era waiting for device when i want to flash the phoben with twrp.
adb reboot bootloader (works and i enter the recovery menu start, bootloader, recovery, power off etc)
fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img (when i type this cmd power shell just says waiting for device)
i have universal drivers installed and android sdk installed. not sure why it isn't recognising the phone?
When my phone is switched on normally, cmd recognises it, when i use adb devices. but as soon as i reboot into recovery mode using cmd "adb reboot bootloader" it stops recognising the phone on the list of devices using the cmd "adb devices"
so you don`t get an answer from your phone by "fastboot devices" ?
Have you tried another usb cable and or port?

no answer from phone when in fastboot mode.
but i do get a reply in cmd when phone is switched on normally.
I'll try with another cable, but if it responds to adb when in normal mode. doesn't it mean it's not a cable issue but a software driver issue?

seems when i do adb reboot bootloader it goes into what i thought was called fastboot. It even says fastboot.
but in that mode my phone isn't recognised by cmd when type adb devices, it doesn't come up.
it has 4 options reboot system now, botloader, enter recovery, reboot to bootloader, power off.
if i then select enter recovery. it enters a smaller text screen with lots of small blue writing. when inside that screen (recovery mode) cmd seems to recognise my device.
but it says it is unauthorized. this is in recovery mode.
i'm not sure why it says it is unauthorized. i've authorised my pc to control the phone through the fingerprint, when the message popped up.
but i can't push the twrp.img file through because of this.
since cmd doesn't seem to recognise phone in fastboot mode.
and cmd doesn't seem to have authorisation in recovery mode.
any ideas?
is it possible to root using adb sideload or install twrp using adb sideload?

Thats the right mode.
Does the phone at normal start show that the bootloader is unlocked?
Your debugging mode is turned on in developer settings?
A sideload isn`t possible I think.

yes, shows bootloader is unlocked when i start the phone.
usb debugging mode is turned on.
i think for some reason in fastboot mode the device driver is not recognised in windows. have googled seems it was a very old problem that happned on phones 6 years ago. nut i haven't found anything recent to solve same error.

i think its definitely a driver issue. windows 10 seems to be overriding the drivers and installing wrong ones. and won't let me install right ones.

Question Fastboot drivers not working

Searching the forums it seems like fastboot 'just works' for everyone else, so maybe something on my computer is messed up..idk

ok now I'm confused.. those drivers didn't work. following the root guide on here it says 'unlock the usual way''boot to bootloader''issue command 'fastboot flashing unlock''
so I decided to try rebooting to fastboot instead, which brought me to fastbootd
fastboot does recognize fastbootd, but the unlock command "flashing unlock" is unrecognized
So do I use bootloader or fastbootd to issue the unlock command?
if the latter, why would fastbootd not recognize the command?
the 'oem unlock' option is ticked on...

the 'oem unlock' option is ticked on...

Make sure you enable oem unlocking in dev options first and reboot.Reboot to bootloader,issue command $fastboot flashing unlock..

ok now I'm confused.. those drivers didn't work. following the root guide on here it says 'unlock the usual way''boot to bootloader''issue command 'fastboot flashing unlock''
so I decided to try rebooting to fastboot instead, which brought me to fastbootd
fastboot does recognize fastbootd, but the unlock command "flashing unlock" is unrecognized

Are you a carrier variant or global unlocked 9/9pro?
OEM unlocking is enabled, reboot to bootloader, command 'fastboot devices' shows no devices
Still have unknown android device in device manager
It's a global unlocked 9

Did you create a shortcut to those adb driver's when you installed; on desktop. And open cmd window in that spot. ?

I'm not sure what you mean by shortcut
I unzipped the file to my desktop, then tried installing driver through device manager, but no driver was found.. I then tried installing the driver with the "DPInst_x64.exe" file, but it says install failed with no other explanation
I tried just opening a command prompt in that folder, but with no driver installed, it still isn't recognized
Thanks for helping, I'm lost at this point lol

Try one more thing. Install these and creat shortcut on desktop and try opening cmd in this. We gonna get you unlocked.
One last thing. You have also went into developer options and tic'ed "USB debugging on then ok on device when it asks if you wanna allow phone to communicate.
tried that, still nothing. usb debugging is on.
all I need is a working driver, everything else should be good..
one thing which i'm not sure if it's an issue, I'm using an old usb c to usb 2 cable, I'm not using the cable that came with the phone because my computer doesn't have usb c ports.. but adb and mass storage/file transfers work with no issue
Hate to say it, but it still COULD be your old USB cord even with file transfer and adb functionality preserved. I had a cord that did do file transfer but not adb. You should try another cord...
Here's another driver source to download:
Universal ADB Drivers
2 new cords, and also tried multiple driver downloads, but still nothing... i was really hoping to root this phone and it seemed so easy for everyone else, thats why i bought it.. but I guess I'm stuck with a locked bootloader...
I could try factory resetting windows or the phone, but would that even make a difference?
..rereading the root guide, at the beginning it says "if you're on global and want root, flash the eu boot.img" but I'm not sure if he means do that first or use that for the guide.. I'm assuming I need the bootloader unlocked in order to flash it first, but maybe not..
..also should I have just commented in the root guide post, instead of making a new post?..
I'm sure you've tried another usb port on your computer.
Last thing to try: another PC.
Shouldn't come to that, but that's where you look to be.
Got it!! Someone posted about the op6 not working either and the fix is turning off windows driver signature, not sure why but that worked for me..
Thanks, now on to root lol
I just had some serious fastboot driver issues when setting up my oneplus. Not sure if this helps but can you at least find the driver folder that was installed on your c:drive when you initially installed the drivers. Then check your device manager when your phone is in fastboot and update the device (usually under portable devices) through that path?
If you get a tampering /corrupt error when you do this you can disable driver signing in windows which is what worked for me thanks to this saint.

You sir are saint...I've been trying to get fastboot to recognize my OP6T for the last 8 hours. Thank you so much!
