I want to root this device and realized that I would have to unlock the bootloader first. I downloaded adb on my windows machine but fastboot is not detecting my device. I downloaded a file from XDA which installs drivers on my computer along with ADB, but still it can't detect my device. I don't understand why.
How do I solve this and root my device?
Search for minimal adb & fastboot.
Did you enable android debugging in the developer options? also check if you have enabled OEM unlock.
Here is a link to setup adb and fastboot.

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 If so, your adb/fastboot is out of date.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?
I went through the motorola site unlock bootloader process. Installed the Android Studio and the Motorola device manager. ADB saw my device and was able to unlock device. With the phone in normal mode and developer options set ADB sees the device. But when I go back into fastboot adb no longer sees the device.
Windows10 still sees the phone (mot composite ADB interface) in device manager but ADB shows no devices listed.
I'm just trying to get the phone rooted.
Resolved: Was using WinDroid under assumption that it needed to be in fastboot.
Hi guys,
I'm having problems unlocking bootloader.
The phone enter into fastboot mode but when I type "fastboot oem unlock-go" in the cmd of windows it doesn't recognize my device.
I have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot and I have installed ADB Driver installer too but it doesn't recognize the device.
Can anybody help me with this please?
I need to unlock it because I want to root it.
Thanks
Have you tried unplugging and replugging when the phone goes into fastboot mode?
I just got my pro 3, did the OTA to the .19 software and unlocked and rooted just today and my girlfriend's very very fresh windows 10 install.
If that doesn't work just delete the adb driver, replug the device and windows should install the same drivers I used.
I had rooted my Moto G5 plus a couple of months back, I had to relock the bootloader and install the stock recovery and rom due to some reasons. I followed a thread on this website which had all the files and commands given to restore stock rom. Later, I decided to unlock the bootloader again. I followed the steps to unlock the bootloader but, my device isn't appearing under adb devices so, I am not able to do anything. I have installed all the moto adb drivers and checked oem unlocking and usb debugging under developer options but, my device doesn't appear under adb.
I used the following thread-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/stock-firmware-npn25-137-67-5-fastboot-t3694738
Everything in that guide is done in fastboot, so if you're in fastboot when you're trying to find your phone, try "fastboot devices" instead of "adb devices"
So, how do I follow the steps on moto's website to unlock the bootloader?

For some reason,
Code:
adb devices
didn't work for me right away.
I skipped that command and just ran
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
and that worked and I was able to continue with the process. Perhaps try that and see what happens.
Drivers must be installed too. This thread helped me:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/unlock-bootloader-lenovo-motorola-moto-t3581133
Another thing that didn't work for me:
USB Dev settings must be disabled in order to mount USB File Transfer Mode (MTP). After updating to latest version, it seems that has been fixed so I don't have to do that anymore.
i'm trying to unlock my bootloader to be able to root by device with magisk but my device can't be recognize in fastboot mode, any idea of what's happening?
What exactly have you done? More information is necessary to help you.

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.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
To use your version, you'd need to manually specify the usb vid: fastboot -i 0x2e17
