Check you have disabled driver signature verification in windows.Most if not all xiaomi drivers are uncertified.Just google it for your windows version and will give you the options.Solved it for me.

Normally on windows 7 you will get test mode after disabling driver signature verification as in screenshot.For mi unlock remember your pc needs to be connected to wifi and your phone must have a data connection or it will not work.

Nothing really you can do in adb until bootloader is unlocked.You probably know you need oem unlock and you need to connect to mi cloud when unlocking and there is another setting in dev options to sign in to account.Xiaomi now require pc connected to wifi and phone connected to data so both can communicate through mi cloud to unlock.Phone must be connected to data not wifi.

[HELP]Device not detecting in fastboot mode

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..

It's same as you do in other Windows, go to "Device Manager" you will find device related name in that Tree,
Uninstall it and update again..

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.

I recommend to follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918
When your device isn't recognized by your pc you need to check if any firewall, antivirus or the driver signature verification prevents your device from being recognized. Also make sure that you reboot your pc after the installation of the Motorola drivers.
Thanks man !! But in thread which you send is not help me untill I unlock my phone.

In folder called mfastboot I click shift+ right click for open command prompt window.at this time my phone is connected with PC in bootloader mode and I installed moto device manager from moto website.
According to step 3( for unlocking bootloader in moto website) I type in command prompt fastboot oem get_unlock_data and press enter but I found this-<waiting for device>.
So, what can I do???

Type "fastboot devices" when connected to the PC. If it shows your serial number of your phone then ok. If not, problems I mentioned before should be checked at your end.
I enter fastboot devices and again it shown <where my device> ,I reboot PC and also check but again it shown <where my device>.
My friend suggest that Motorola driver not installed properly ,so uninstall it first and install again ,and go to device manager and if yellow mark is shown then definitely driver is not installed ,but he not give any further information about it , because he didn't know. It shows , fastboot Athens 16_mps with yellow mark in device manager .

Have you checked firewall and antivirus to be disabled?
You can also provide the whole console output here to get better overview of your errors :good:
Actually I don't have PC / laptop ,so for unlocking bootloader I was go to my friend' home and use laptop of him and there is disable firewall as you mentioned.
So ,now I am at my home ,so actually I can't show you actual process of laptop ,I was telling you what is happening to me ,if any solution is find then I will go to his house ,and process unlocking bootloader.

Oh, nice to know...
Unless you did not provide an console output its hard to help. Additional you need to make sure that "fastboot devices" displays the serial number, if it doesn't, you need to check firewall, driver signature verification, antivirus etc etc on the PC of your friend.
It's a common problem and the things to check by your end are the same and everything I've seen and read it's cause of the mentioned problems. Maybe your friend has something wrong configured or whatever.

In addition to strongst's helpful replies which I concur with (device signature enforcement on Windows 10 is a common issue, as it may stop you from installing the fastboot driver, and thus your device won't be loaded. Disable driver enforcement if you can and it doesn't void the laptop warranty), are you using the original Motorola USB cable or a high quality USB data cable? Also, try another USB port if you can.
For information, I've attached the Device Manager screenshot of my device, booted into the bootloader, and connected via the original USB cable to a USB 2.0 port. You'll note it's loaded as an Android Device via the Motorola ADB Interface (from the Motorola Device Manager software https://motorola-global-en-roe.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/89881 ). Your device, loaded as fastboot athene_16mp suggests it's a driver issue.
Furthermore, if you want to unlock your bootloader, you'll need a computer to flash TWRP and may be useful having a computer around for troubleshooting/reverting back to stock Motorola firmware.
Just for curiosity sake I hope you changed the connection from charging to file transfer and switched on usb debugging. Cuz otherwise all what is needed already said by others. :/
Whenever I go to my friend's house and use his laptop to unlock my bootloader I will give you screen shot of display which causes problem for me to unlock my bootloader,thanks sir!!!!! And how to know that any anti virus ,firewall and other things you mentioned is stop me to install moto drivers?

Tutorials for disabling driver enforcement can be found through a Google search (e.g. here's a link : https://www.drivethelife.com/window...e-enforcement-on-windows-10-8-7-xp-vista.html ) Of course, ask your friend before attempting this, as this allows you and anyone else to install and run unsigned drivers (including the fastboot drivers).
Okk thanks bro
So it is a safe driver(moto device manager)? Because if my friend ask me !!

Windows 10 won't Recognize my Phone in Fastboot Mode but ADB Is working

Hey Guys,
i tried to Root my Moto E4 but Unfortunally i cant get Fastboot to work under Windows 10 Home 64 Bit on Both my Notebook and my PC. I installed The Motorola Device Manager (Since it comes with drivers) and installed ADB and Fastboot but once i Reboot into Fastboot Mode it wont Recognize it for flashing. The CMD Just Says Waiting for Device. I have expierience with Rooting other Phones but i never had this much Trouble getting Fastboot to work properly. Would be awesome if u could show me a Solution to this since i really want a Custom Rom.

There's no trick, it just works. I have Windows 10 64 bit as well and no issues. Maybe you need to update your platform tools (adb and fastboot). Using old ones can be a problem.
What command are you issuing? Just fastboot devices ?
Make sure you're not using a USB 3.0 port on your computer.

Few other thoughts:
- try a different cable; a cable that works for charging and adb communication may not work with fastboot
- avoid external hubs if possible
- be sure to reboot both devices after switching drivers if communication isn't immediately established

When you say you booted to fastboot what do you mean ?
Did use adb and your phone was recognized and then you issued adb command or what method are you using ....
You need to ensure you establish USB debugging connection first & grant authorization ...once link with authorization has been established run adb ...from adb check if recognized run command to boot to fastboot
So start from the top && go down
ARE YOU CERTAIN YOU USED CORRECT METHOD TO TURN OFF DRIVER VERIFICATION ON WINDOWS 10 && YOUR DRIVER ACTUALLY INSTALLED
Last noteworthy point ... when unlocking my motoE4 I had to boot to bootloader ONLY to use fastboot NOT "FASTBOOT"
Hold power + volume button
Excellent troubleshooting from our community. OP has not come back yet to confirm, ask another question, or simply a thanks. (Maybe he got it) Hopefully he gets it sorted.
Maybe the junior members underestimate just how quick and helpful our little community can be.
@Marc_Xperia Do not forget to install AndroidBootloaderInterface Driver Software. *android_winusb.inf*
Thats what my Problem is. I installed the Latest Android Studio, i have gone to SDK Manager. Installed the Android 7.1 Files and USB Drivers and this happens everytime i want to unlock my BL. And yes i disabled Driver Signing on Windows 10. I call it Fastboot Mode since im Used to Xperias so im Sorry i confused anyone.

When you authorize your adb connection do you tick or select always allow connections from this device ...the fact that your device is listed as *unauthorised* is a clear indication in your previous attempts you didn't authorize to "allways allow connections" from this device
#result _when you reboot authorization is revoked
Enter bootloader mode the old skool way using your buttons..
# MAKE SURE TO SELECT "ALLOW OEM UNLOCK OPTION IN DEVELOPS settings
1.AUTHORIZE TO "ALWAYS ALLOW CONNECTIONS FROM THIS DEVICE"
2.enter bootloader using hardware keys
3.plug in usb
4.run fastboot devices to force fastboot to start deamon ...
5.once fastboot can see your device run oem unlock
6.DO NOT USE USB 3 port so try different USB ports on pc
7. Alternatively use a live USB of Ubuntu minimal to do the job
--- doesn't seem like driver problem if adb can see your device
See if that works

I did all of that. Next Problem when i boot the device with Vol Down + Power and select meta mode. I will get only the Motorola Logo or a Normal Reboot into System. I set everything up in Developer Settings. Enabled Debugging and Allow Bootloader Unlock.

Why select meta mode ? When you are in bootloader you use your volume keys to navigate between meta, recovery& factory reset & meta and you use your power key to select different modes ...what do you want to do in meta mode ?
When you are in bootloader you are essentially in fastboot mode too so it isn't necessary to choose any of the other options unless you are trying to get into recovery which is pointless if you haven't flashed custom recovery yet ..
I Succeded. I Booted into Bootloader with ADB and took a look at Device Manager to install the Driver Properly.
i followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/guide-unlock-moto-e4-bootloader-unique-t3654275.

Not detected by Mi Unlocker, can't do anything

Possible problems - phone defaults to USB for charging, not for file transfer.
Title. I've followed directions word-for-word. However, starting the device in fast boot & plugging it into the PC will not cause the device to appear. I Mi Unlock also can not detect it.
How am I messing this up? What can I do to fix it? Do I have a bum phone & need to return/replace?
Logged into Mi account
Mi account sync on
Find my device on
Developer options enabled
Enable USB debugging enabled
OEM unlocking enabled
SIM card in, wifi off, mobile date on
Mi Unlock status activated
All of the above done
Initiate fastboot
Start Mi Unlocker & sign in
Plug fastbooted phone in
Phone not detected by Mi Unlock
Not appearing in Windows Explorer
Use CMD to search for devices, none found
CMD -> adb devices returns nothing
i've a similar problem, for me the problem was the usb 3.0 port, with a fresh start of win10 i can see the phone connected in fastboot mode, when i open mi unlock the phone disappear and after is impossible to be recognized until a restart of win10. The only way for see the phone detected by MI unlocker was to use and usb 2.0 hub connected in the usb 3 port. Use a usb 2.0 port if you've or try with another computer.

What worked for me is transferring the folder of mi unlocker to the root of C: and reinstalling adb drivers

HELP REQUIRED !! My redmi k20 is not even recognised in fastboot mode

So im trying to unlock my bootloader of my redmi k20, i have installed adb drivers properly, and adb commands work fine when the phone is on, but as soon as i enter fastboot mode my device does not even appear as an other device or anything in device manager .
Since I've tried fastboot mode on an other phone(redmi note 10 pro) and it was detected as a fastboot device on the same PC, I DONT THINK ITS A PC DRIVER PROBLEM rather the phone problem and im in a disarray rn while being stuck in miui (with alot of bugs) and no future support whatsoever.

adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
Adb and fastboot devices must show the same ID of your phone.
If one works and the other does not, I bet problem must be in the drivers (I use the good, old, Minimal Adb and Fastboot package)
If even adb devices fail, problem may be in the USB cable
Btw, make sure that USB debugging in Developer options is enabled.
For unlocking BL, OEM unlocking must be also enabled

As ive mentioned in the first thread ,
It is detecting redmi note 10 in fastboot mode on the same pc with same cable and everything, but not redmi k20, so its not abt PC drivers its something to do with my phone
