Did you enter fastboot mode on your phone? Did you install drivers? Connect to PC your phone in fastboot mode and check device manager.
The app itself brings the phone to fastboot, yes i installed the adb and fastboot wide drivers and went to get qualcoom, when it comes to the device manager, it displays a picture with the yellow triangle on it, i read it and added legacy and still nothing, it sometimes works and stops, idk why
It stays like this, i manage to enter, and see this

This is a problem cause by your computer. Uninstall everything ( reboot ) and then reinstall. personally, I would disable antivirus and Firewall while using this program. Windows Defender is ridiculously overzealous.

That's the problem. Windows can't install them just when you connect the phone, you need to install them manually.
When you downloaded the Unlock Bootloader tool, there was a folder or a zip with the drivers. If it is a zip, extract it.
Connect the phone leaving up arrow pressed, the led will turn blue.
Go to device manager on the pc, look for Fastboot or something like that.
Select browse my computer for driver software and select the divers folder. It should install them right away.
Now you have the fastboot drivers installed and you can continue with the procedure.
Edit: You already have the KEY from Sony?

think this is it
1. download flashtool and install
2. type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" in cmd and restart PC
3. install driver in the flashtool "drivers" folder, check fastboot, agree when prompts
4. type "bcdedit /set testsigning off" in cmd and restart PC

I have wiped my phone completely out. When it turns on, it boots into TWRP and I cannot get adb to recognize my device to sideload anything onto it.
I've tried with TWRP, and CWM to load anything but I cannot get it to work. Any ideas?

My phone is recognized by the computer. adb isnt working for some reason, I can issue commands through the command prompt for fastboot but I cant get adb to recognize my device because it wont turn on.
the same thing happened to me. I ended up flashing the RUU using fastboot. Don't ask me how to do it because I don't remember, but there should be a guide floating around the forums somewhere.
Make sure you are using the RUU that is compatible with your phone.
I dont know then.
I returned the phone to sprint, they exchanged it.
Apparently I flashed the wrong version of a rom (A non sprint rom) and it soft bricked my phone.

I had the same problem a few weeks back. The phone was not recognised by any computer. If you fiddle around with the micro usb on the phone it would recognise the phone for a second. It took me nearly two weeks of trying, to flash a RUU and get the phone back to stock for a repair.
I asked in the shop if this was common and the lad said it has happened to others. It is dust that gets in the usb and people cleaning shorts the motherboard???? I didn't clean anything so I don't know if this is true.
Anyway I got a replacement phone. Maybe you should keep it at stock and get a replacement. If it happens once it will happen again.
Try uninstalling HTC Sync, if you haven't already, uninstall driver, reinstall HTC Sync and see if you can't get the PC to see it. And when the pop up on the phone comes, check always allow.
When I type lsusb : I don't see my One..
htc drivers and htc sync don't works everytime it say unknown device..

Is your phone in bootloader mode? Hold Vol down+power to enter fastboot mode and then connect your phone to PC.
If you are already doing that or the problem still persists and have an unlocked bootloader(which I am sure you have), try to flash twrp manually.

Vol down+power should boot into fastboot. Turn off the phone, hold both until honor logo shows up, let go of power but hold vol down for about 5 sec more.
If still the same, Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to phone, hold Vol down and connect the cable to computer. It should boot into bootloader now.
If it can not boot into bootloader still, the last is to try adb but that is a bit lengthy.
In bootloader mode, it will be written on phone screen in red whether phone is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Wipe does not effect bootloader status so it's still unlocked imo.

At least it should say, phone locked. Saying nothing is a phenomenon i never heard before but I usually go for newer versions. May be that's the case.
Anyways use adb to fire this command
Fastboot OEM device-info
To be sure if its locked or not.
To setup adb, download and install latest Android SDK, run the program and only download platform-tools.
Your phone is international variant and it came with locked bootloader, I am sure sp tools unlocked it coz otherwise CWM could not be flashed.
Right click platform-tools folder and select run command prompt window here and type the above command
If the bootloader is unlocked (it will tell you if it is), copy the twrp image to platform-tools folder and rename it to twrp.img and fire this command
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And try to reboot into recovery after disconnecting from pc and simultaneously holding power+ Vol up.
edit: nevermind, i forghot about something...

You dont have your phone drivers installed. Google Huawei USB drivers and install them or use hisuite to install drivers for your phone.
After driver installation, do the same process again.

Hisuite is the best option. Even if that does not work (there is a chance of that), Google Kouch's universal drivers and install those.

Boot into recovery mode, no matter on which recovery are you on, and execute this command:
Code:
adb devices
And see the output, if it says something like:
Code:
**some_number** recovery
then it means there is no problem in the detection of your device by PC, if it does not, then check if the micro USB socket in the device is in good condition.
And I must ask: Are you able to do any operations on device via PC after connecting it?

My rednote is not being recognised by my Win10 PC when in fastboot mode. ADB is fine but the moment it boots into fastboot, it disappears. I've tried numerous different drivers now, and restarted the PC to disable driver signature but nothing seems to work. Fastboot mode is recognised when the phone is connected to my linux laptop.
Is there a trick to it? Or a guaranteed set of drivers that work both adb and fastboot?
I want to unlock my phone but cannot run the official MiUnlock tool.

This is exactly my problem on Redmi note 11S. I already tried a lot of drivers and tutorials and still no succes. In linux fastboot works.
PS: Les Girauds, you can unlock bootloader by mtkclient (linux), not just via official tool (Mi unlock). I already did it.

I tried another UNIX based unlock solution yesterday (a python prog from GitHub) and whilst it didn't work cleanly (nor successfully unlock the device) I did see in the garbled error message returned about having to wait 121 hours. So maybe the phone will be successfully unlocked on Tuesday!

Thanks, that's worked. The Yt video didn't show for me so I copied it's URL and opened in a separate browser window. The video went through the process for Win 11 but I guess it's the same for Win10 (my system), and it worked so that's OK. Weird thing is, it was only an install of the generic adb drivers which I'd installed previously anyway, and had been using for some time, doing updates on my Lenovo tablet etc. So they were there and working once upon a time. I can only assume that the process of installing the MiUnlock screwed them up somehow.
@Magic Cucumber - it might be worth you simply reinstalling the standard adb platform tools, It might give you back fastboot access

Thank you. It worked. The MIUnlock said I had to wait but mtkclient did it immediately.
Now I'm going to flash a custom ROM, and maybe twrp, just have a device I'm happier with. Xiaomi phones maybe good value but I don't like the stock software.
