Hello all,

I have a stupid question for you all.

I have updated yesterday to Android Pie - and all is good.

Today I wanted to root.

I checked USB debugging is enabled, then booted in fastboot.

When I do fastboot devices on my PC, the phone does not show.

This worked 100% before (I have rooted this and previous phones many times)

What is going wrong here?

Thank you for any suggestions

I figured it out - the USB cable does not work. The second cable I tried worked - now I need to find a working TWRP as the previous TWRP (which I use as fastboot boot twrp.img ) crashes...

Same thing happened to me aswell. My PC didn't detect my phone when it was updated to Pie but i could still execute the commands. Flashed with bluespark twrp and all is good.
