I have followed Heisenbergs instructions to the letter but when I issue the adb devices command it just returns the string "list of devices" and that's it. Fastboot devices doesn't work either.
So I'm stuck at the start. Can anyone help me? From what I can tell I may need drivers but I'm new to this so I don't know.
I can give anyone more info if they need it.
I believe part of the instructions are to install the Platform Tools, which should include drivers. Try running the SDK Manager and updating or installing the drivers again. Also ensure you have USB Debugging ON in your Developer settings and OEM Unlocking enabled. Lastly, tap the notification in your shade about the USB connection (I think it defaults to Charging Only) and change it to various modes. Mine seems to only work on PTP mode. When you run the adb devices command you will need to authorize the connection on the phone end the first time by clicking OK so make sure the screen is on and unlocked so you can see it.
Hope this helps.

You enable USB debugging?
Me personally do not get any strings of data returned when im on fastboot
i open CMD, run ADB DEVICES, get message saying the port is opening, and then listing devices... which is empty
but i am able to flash anything i want using fastboot....
try this command and see if it works after that... fastboot reboot-bootloader
it should reboot bootloader for u.. thats a easy way to know its responding to u
Is the device showing properly in the Device Manager when it's connected to your system?

It shows up in windows explorer as "Nexus 6p" when I plug in the USB cable.
I have USB debugging and unlock bootloader checked in settings.
My fastboot devices command returns nothing.

Did you change the USB mode? Mine shows in Explorer as you described but won't work in ADB/Fastboot until I change it to PTP.

Yeah I tried every option. Nothing.
The instructions say the fastboot devices command should return my serial number and it does not.
When booted into the bootloader one it tells me on one line phone LOCKED and on another line says download mode DISABLED.
Don't know if this has anything to do with my problems but I still cannot get a return on the fastboot devices command in order to proceed with the unlock command of "fastboot flashing unlock"
remember that u need latest fastboot for this to work.
did u updated the SDK manager to the latest? i had to do that in order to work for 6P

I had the same issue ,it was down to when I plugged the phone into the PC for the first time,it installed the Google.USB driver ,but it didn't install the driver for the adb interface,I had to download it from Google and install it manually
I also had the same issue, I had an old Clockworkmod generic driver that I was using for my Samsung Galaxy S5 installed.
Go to Device manager (either type it in the start menu, or: right click This PC, click manage, and click device manager), plug in your unlocked Nexus 6P phone and watch for a new item to pop up. If it says android something, uninstall it. I had to uninstall 3 times, then reinstall the drivers from the SDK before it would work.
I used the skipsoft toolkit to install the fb drivers; worked for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...ol-skipsoft-android-toolkit-nexus-6p-t3234159
but like others said, you may have to manually remove any that are already installed in windows, although I think that is one of the options in the toolkit.

Got A device to pop up under the command adb devices, but nothing under fastboot devices. Any tips? Had to follow the skipsoft instructions to install adb/fastboot devices. Yes USB Debugging is on and the OEM unlocking is set to allow..
Christ I'm retarded. Sorry boys, thought my phone was in the bootloader when I was trying this command LOL

I had installed Moto drivers and also enabled the usb debugging but my my device is not showing in fastboot mode.
Seriously need help.
Thank you.
Just to clarify, when you reboot your device into the bootloader (fastboot), if you type the command 'fastboot devices' (without quotes) in ADB, you get nothing showing up in the device list?
Which Moto drivers are you using, what device do you have and are you issuing the commands via minimal ADB or another ADB command tool?

Turn on your phone and run " adb devices " then see if it's getting connected in power on mode or not.. if not then try to install Adb Drivers..

If installing drivers again, use of different USB port, different data cable don't work then better to use different PC..

If you're on Windows 10 with an UEFI firmware, I recall you need to disable driver signature enforcement if you wish to use fastboot. Credit to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70792544&postcount=2028
Hopefully it'll work with the Linux distro though

This was very helpful. Took me hours to find it but glad I did. On to step 2. lol How I was able to fix not being able to load anything in fastboot was this.
1. I right clicked on the Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit.msi and selected uninstall. Repair did nothing.
2. Rt click view properties of Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit.msi.
3. On the general tab I noticed it was blocked so I unblocked it.
4. Then switched to Compatibility tab.
5. Selected run compatibility mode, any previous version of windows.
--This stops the version checker
6. Hit apply save and ran it.

Bro i didi not detecting please help
I'm running into a problem that I've seen others have. I have a US996, USB debugging is on, OEM unlock is on, and the LG USB drivers are installed.
I can do "adb reboot bootloader" and the phone will reboot into Fastboot with no problems.
But once I'm there, commands don't work. In my Device Manager (Win 7), in fastboot mode, the device is showing up as "Other devices\Android", with no driver attached to it. Okay, so we know where the problem is.
But trying to update the driver in Auto mode doesn't work. Pointing it to the LG directory doesn't work. Pointing it to a directory with the Google USB drivers doesn't work.
How can I fix this?

Lmao ?, sorry was at work. Here's the link ? it's for the G5 but for the drivers it's the same process. It's about the 430 mark
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.

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?

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:

{ 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.
