Sounds like a simple drivers issue

Have you enabled developer options, debugging, and authorized the computer you're plugging your phone into?
You are using an out of date version of fastboot.

To use your version, you'd need to manually specify the usb vid: fastboot -i 0x2e17

So I am having a lot of problems with trying to root my nexus 7. I'm pretty sure it boils down to a driver issue but I'm not sure. I have tried installing the correct drivers over and over again also uninstalling other hardware manufacturers drivers and I cannot get adb to recognize my device when it is shut off and in the boot loader.
When the tablet is on and I have debugging on, adb shows up and is recognized, however my problem is that whenever I reboot into the boot loader I lose adb recognition. So therefore I can't root or do anything else. Fast boot commands work fine its only the issue with adb.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what I can do I would really appreciate it. I don't know if its just a hardware issue or something I am doing wrong on my end.
This is also not my first time manually unlocking/rooting a device
When you initially connect, the device shows up as a "Nexus 7".
When you reboot into the boot loader, the device name changes, and there is no driver for that device.
As far as I could tell, I would have to do the root process under Linux to avoid this issue.
As for me, I just ignored the issue. By the time you reboot the bootloader, you are already rooted.
The only thing you do after the reboot is rename a file. For now I am missing that step...
Yeah I'm using windows xp. When its in boot loader it does change names. I can unlock the bootloader via fastboot but can't do anything with adb. Lol I don't know what else I can do, I'm at a loss.

Like I said - I think you are done...
Install a terminal on the Nexus and see what it says to "su". I use one called "terminal emulator". Works fine.
I think fastboot uses adb.
If you connect your Nexus, and type "adb devices" in a command window what does it say?
I believe it says devices attached or something like that. (Not at my computer) but doesn't give me a serial # like I think it should.
If you do not have USB Debugging checked, "adb devices" will just show the List of devices line.
If I set USB debugging on, "adb devices" also shows the Nexus serial number.
If you don't see that, I would double check the device driver you are using.
Under Device Manager, Android Phone, Android Composite ADB Interface it shows:
Driver: Google Inc.
Date: 5/24/2012
Version: 6.0.0.0
Digital Signer: google inc.
Well if I have USB debugging on and tablet on and do adb devices I get the serial # but once I go into boot loader and do adb devices I don't get the serial #.
For device manager I can choose adb interface or adb original interface. I'll have more info when I get out of work and at my computer. Do you have a link to the drivers you used? Or where to find them. Because I have tried a couple of different drivers posted around to no avail.
BTW thanks for helping me out.
I would not use any posted driver - you don't know where that thing has been.
Download the SDK from Google; the correct driver is in there.
Just point the device manager to it when you install drivers.
There are a lot of good descriptions on installing drivers in the other nexus forums
But - again - I think your device driver is fine. You will not be able to talk to the Nexus from ADB after you boot the bootloader
Bootloader has a different device name which ADB can't use under Windows.
Use Linux if you want to do that.
ok, so pretty much what happens is when my tablet is powered on with usb debugging everything is fine and ADB is recognized. Now my problem seems to be when i reboot into the bootloader it seems as though the drivers dont stick and it asks me to install the drivers again and this is where i have had all of my issues. When i type in adb devices in, it just tells me "list of devices attached" and wont let me do anything else (fastboot works). Like i said i was able to unlock my bootloader but i cant flash recovery or do anything else.
When i go into device manage to select the drivers it gives me the option of choosing between adb interface, adb bootloader interface, adb orignal interface and nexus 7 bootloader interface. I have tried all options and nothing seems to work. I have tried multiple usb cords and ports.
If anyone else has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
I didn't read through everything but your initial problem is adb doesn't work in the bootloader that's where you use fastboot commands either boot into a custom recovery or just boot up normal and make sure debugging is checked.
Try running fastboot devices and see if it shows up. What you need to do is have bootloader unlocked and dismiss the super user zip floating around here pot that on sd card download cwm recovery image floating around boot into bootloader then
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
select recovery from the menu
Flash the super user zip
Or download a rom that has root and put that on sd card instead of super user zip and after doing the steps above then selecting super user zip select the rom you downloaded and flash. If you're on Linux run sudo first.

OK so I have an issue that I just cannot seem to fix. I've followed Max Lee's guide to unlocking the bootloader, obtaining root, and getting twrp. I've followed the written and video instructions to the t and a few guides in here, I have installed and updated the proper drivers and sdk tools, but my hitch is when I type the "fastboot oem Unlock" command, it says it finishes but my device doesn't reboot and ask if I want to proceed to unlock my bootloader, instead it just stays on the fastboot logo and does nothing until I restart it. This happens on both my mac and my pc so I'm not sure what the issue is I have usb debugging enabled and the allow oem Unlock slider is in the on position, any help or advice 8s greatly appreciated, thank you.

do you run an actual version of sdk-tools? fastboot recognized your phone, right? You can test it with following command: fastboot devices
Output is something like this:
33a0cde4 fastboot

nevermind i just fixed it, thanks
Went through the Guide, however i've run into roadblocks.
i've installed all sdk packages, adb commands work, and fastboot commands return serial numbers. however once i run fastboot flashing unlock, there is a thread run in command promp window, with no change in the device's bootloader screen.
i've done the 6.0.1 update, the bootloader screen reads (some important ?) console NULL; device is LOCKED; download mode DISABLED; CONNECT USB DATA CABLE (while plugged in)
usb debugging is enabled, and the OEM unlock option is checked.
Any advice is appreciated.
Is it necessary to use this method? Won't something like Nexus Root Toolkit work too? Just a thought, I may be way off

When you issue the "fastboot flashing unlock" command does it return a huge list of compatible commands? If so, your adb/fastboot is out of date.
Have you enabled bootloader unlocking in developer options?
guys I'm in a bad situation, phone is without OS and I can only access to recovery or bootloader, I have a twrp installed and I can't access to an USB otg (simple usb doesn't even blink like they are not working, If I connect an hdd it doesn't recognize it but gives it power) and I can't access to the phone as MTP or with adb devices or adb sideload. Even on bootloader mode device isn't showed when I try the command "fastboot devices" and it says "download mode = DISABLED".
so I only have access to twrp with those limitations, I need a big help, phone is with BTL unlocked and with expired warranty.
thanks in advance

Download mode=disabled is the default (normal) displayed in bootloader mode. You seem to infer that is what fastboot returned when you typed devices? MTP works in TWRP automatically when it loads. Sounds like you may have a PC driver/cable issue. When you plug the device into your PC, how is it recognized?

I'm on mac so I don't have any driver issues and other phones works fine with mtp in TWRP
Up please

You are using OSX, right? Fastboot commands should start with ./ before each command. For example: ./fastboot devices, or ./fastboot flash, or ./fastboot reboot bootloader. Same applies for adb commands. If you are already familiar with flashing images, read my post below about OSX and fastboot.
Do not click into the thread because it is for the Nexus 5X new users guide.
Edit: Whoops! Initially shared the wrong link above. Follow this link instead:

Just bought a used Pixel 4 to try and flash lineage 17.1 but can't get OEM unlocking to actually work. The enable switch is in the on position and adb recognizes the device but when I try to enter fastboot either by adb reboot bootloader or volume down + power on, the device status comes up in green text "locked." The phone is a G020I and came to me running android 11 with a build number RP1A.20005.004. Is this too new of a phone and wont be able to be flashed? From what I understand, if the bootloader stays locked, I can't even flash a factory image of android 10, correct?
You have to unlock bootloader using fastboot command from pc...

Fastboot commands wont work. adb commands will but as soon as I try adb reboot bootloader to get to the point where I can enter fastboot flashing unlock, I get the result in the pics below.
You need to install Google usb driver to use Fastboot

Ok, in trying to do that, I get the message from windows that their driver is the most up to date and won't let me install from the file I try to choose. See the pics below.
I had the same issue, updating the USB drivers rc13 did the trick.

LInk for that update?
Here you go: https://www.thecustomdroid.com/google-android-usb-drivers/
Finally got it. Windows had to recognize it as a generic device in order to force a driver. If it saw it as Pixel 4 it would stop. Now that I have lineage flashed on it, just need to figure out how to get mms to work. Apparently that is a common problem too.
