Rooting my Tab 10.1 LE running 3.1

Hello... I would have preferred to have posted this to one of the existing threads in the development forum but apparently new accounts are not permitted to do so.
Anyways, I've had a hell of a time rooting my I/O edition tab because I had updated it to 3.1. I'm pretty sure from reading through other threads that there are people having the same issues so I would like to share my experience in hope that it will help others.
So, like I mentioned above, the biggest (only) problem with rooting my tab was that I was unable to boot into recovery mode. Nothing at all worked - adb, fastboot, etc. I was sure I had all my drivers installed correctly but when I ran "adb reboot recovery" I ended up at the battery screen - this is apparently due to the 3.1 update. When I ran "fastboot boot someimg.img" it hung with the "waiting for devices" message. This was indicative of a fastboot driver issue so I reinstalled the driver a few times, then tried an older version of the fastboot executable, then tried a different machine... all to no avail.
Then I stumbled upon mention of a fastboot driver included with PdaNet. It was a bit of a pain to get Windows to install the new driver but I eventually got it to work. First I downloaded and installed PdaNet and said yes to replace all of my existing Android drivers. I then tried updating the fastboot driver through device manager but it wouldn't let me, it just kept saying the most current driver was installed. So I uninstalled the existing fastboot driver through device manager (also checked the box to delete the driver software, just so that it didn't install the same driver again) and then unplugged/replugged in the Tab (in fastboot mode) to reinstall the driver. The actual driver that it ended up installing was an ADB driver which I found a bit odd (the earlier one was "Nvidia fastboot" or something), but lo and behold running "fastboot devices" showed my tab and I was able to run "fastboot boot" on the CWM image and from there it was a snap (following instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574).

Hope this experience is helpful to someone else having problems rooting their Tab!

this is why everyone should have a linux box.

Need help - OP 6t not recognized in fastboot

Hello, a few weeks ago i got my OP 6t. Due to my positive experience from my previous phones (LG G3 and G5) and what i heard from OP i tried to flash twrp and planned to install magisk. I followed the instructions here on xda to unlock the bootloader, it got recognized as device in adb and i could reboot it into the bootloader, but then it didnt recognized it in fastboot, it looks like im missing some sort of drivers, because when im in fastboot in the win 10 device manager its called "android" with a yellow triangle, i tried multiple guides already, but i had no success. Its the unbranded version with 8 gigs and 128 gig. I can provide more info if needed. Help would be very appreciated.

Did you follow funkwizard's guide in the guides/news/discussion forum? It's stickied at the top.
Anyhow, if you followed the guide, he provides this link (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L7EZGx5mgeQYXO19Vsp9FWu9GXhF45Qs/view?usp=drivesdk) for the OP6T drivers that need it be installed.
He then provides this link (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-uWQn-oHu_ROuDVCzIyrExoRbsSBYTtU/view?usp=drivesdk) to update your ADB/fastboot to the latest version.
Complete both of those steps and your phone SHOULD be recognized in fastboot. Good luck.

I have read his complete thread and im still stuck with the same problem. I deinstalled all phone related driver and only installed the one from the thread, opened the command prompt via admin and under device manager is still the yellow triangle beside the android device. I tried to install the driver manually via the google universal driver, but windows never found any compatible drivers.

And just to be certain, do you have USB Debugging enabled in developer options?

Yupp, but i have to say that i had to tap it four to five times until the confirmation window popped up.

I had this problem few hours ago, and this is W10 fault. For me solution was that:
instal drivers from guide,
enter fastboot mode,
remove phone from device manager and unistal drivers,
replug phone,
let windows find drivers automaticly when in fastboot mode.
And that's it, fasboot comands works now.

Fastboot Not Recognized

I am not able to get Fastboot to reconginze my One Plus 6T. I have reinstalled the drivers numerous times to no avail. I have changed ports to no avail. I have change USB cables to no avail. Is anyone else having a similar problem and if so, any solution?
BTW, I am using a Windows 10 computer.
Also, I was able to install the International Version on my TMO variant One Plus 6T via the MSM tool method, so the drivers appear to be installed correctly.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Delete the drivers you have installed, boot into fastboot and have Windows automatically detect and install for you. Have you tried that? What source did you get your fastboot drivers from?

Msmdownload drivers are not the same at all, they are Qualcom drivers. Uninstall your fastboot drivers and let windows install them

Oh man, I had issues getting my 6t to connect to my PC when I first got my 6t. The answer for me was to plug my phone into a USB 2.0 port on the BACK of my PC instead of the front USB ports my PC has. Try using the back USB ports and let me know if that works for you!

Thank you all. I will try these suggestions later today and report back.

I tried the suggestions and still no success in fastboot connecting with my device. Thanks again for the suggestions.

After trying to multiple times reinstall the drivers, manually selecting "Android Bootloader Interface" did the trick for me on win10:

Issue resolved. Selected Android Bootloader Interface in Device Manager and fastboot recognized my device. Unlocked Bootloader, installed TWRP and Magisk. Root achieved.
Thank you all!!!

Thank you! I can't believe I didn't think to check that.

it is solved for me oneplus 6t not recognized in fastboot
{ solved for me } hello brother, i got this problem also my head was about to explosing, install/uninstall drivers and adb drivers also, without any success, when the device is on normal mod the adb terminal can recognize it and in fastboot mod not recognize my devie (the list empty).
i was trying to install TWRP, so i have reboot my device to fastboot mod, and i didn't think about List of devices (because it not show my device) i wrote the comand to install TWRP directly so it success to install 100%,
so no need to write : adb devices when your device is in fastboot mod, it will not show you in the list, but you can apply what you want normally
good luck

This is why I use Linux in my LOS Install Guide. You can boot Linux from a USB without installing it. Fastboot and ADB just work, without any drivers. Install TWRP, reboot and your PC will be back to windows. My guide covers installing TWRP.

Really need help. I'm going in circles and wasting a lot of time:
I'm attempting to root a OP6T A6013. Its already been unlocked.
My device is recognized when powered up as an ADB device.
But when i boot into the bootloader it isnt recognized as a fastboot device, and my laptop (Win 8.1) shows ""device malfunctioned. USB not recognized". I've also been trying to install the OP driver but I'm not sure its working correctly. But would that cause the problem with recognizing fastboot?
I've root my OP7Pro (twice, actually) and though I had some driver issues then eventually figured it out. But I never had issues with fastboot.
Any tips or direction?

Hey all , replying to share my solution to this exact problem I was having..
My OP6T (T-Mobile converted to international) was not showing in fastboot devices but showed in ADB.. after hours of searching google and XDA , I ended up just plugging my 6T into another computer and it worked! , instantly recognized my device without hassle.
So just a fyi, it could be something simple as switching USB ports or even another computer.
hopefully this helps if someone get's stuck at this point.

I had this issue with a OP8Pro... I went to Windows Update and selected View Optional Updates and found Android Bootloader Device on the list. I selected this to download, and then fastboot worked perfectly.

sudo fastboot oem unlock worked in linux in first shot while windows was unable to recognize the device.
Thanks a ton.
EDIT : Just to add .. this linux was in VM

I agree. Linux is far better when flashing android phones

Hi there is some guides how to get this driver installed on Xda. If your computer can see adb then you will be okay.
When you plug in you'll see a one plus box pop up and you click on that and hit install. Then under device manager you can manually select the driver under c:/ programfiles or (something like that) just to give you the idea. You might have to turn on unsigned drivers in windows (command+reboot) to install the driver, but I just wanted to let you know mostly everyone has been through this ( and so no surprise), and there is a guide on Xda that can do a much better job explaining what to do.
