How To Guide Asus ROG phone 5: unlock bootloader and root guide
- Thread starter m8822
- Start date
... and that explains the issue. Your device is not recognized by your pc when in bootloader mode. Try clean wiping the driver and re-install it on your Windows. It can tease. When correctly installed and recognized you should see something like below with your device connected in bootloader mode and you should be able to send Fastboot commands to the device:
Yesterday i deleted those drivers, and added them again. Did not reboot the computer tho. I did it like in this: https://www.androidusbdrivers.com/asus-rog-phone-5-usb-drivers/
It tells me "This device cannot start (Code: 10)" and there is yellow triangle. It only goes away when i choose in bootmenu "Start" and then it "recognize" my device. ADB tells me it's unauthorized that time. Google tells me, that i should allow USB Debugging from Developers menu, but its hard when the OS won't start.
Is there anyway to maybe start TWRP Recovery or something, that i could flash again / restore the device?
I did my root following this guide:
And after i sent the command to reboot the device after flashing, its bootlooping.
