Question Fastboot not working in Windows 11 [Resolved]

[eshlad]

Hello!

I cant get my Windows 11 virtual machine to detect my Xiaomi 12 when its in Fastboot mode. Does any one happen to have any ideas to solve this?

It shows up as 'Android' in device manager. I've also attempted to install a drivers manually and none of them seem to be acceptable. Weirdly, my Xiaomi 12 is recognised when its in regular, usb transfer mode and the MiUnlockTool by Francesco Tescari even recognises it then too. For context, debugging mode and enable bootloader settings have been enabled in MIU 13.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

First thing to do is install this device drivers https://androidmtk.com/download-xiaomi-usb-drivers , then reboot and try to reconnect your device. This may fix our problem.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will attempt these. Fingers crossed

I have previously attempted to install adb driver but had some trouble. When installing using Device Manager, the locate .inf dialog refuses to accept my selection. I dont seem to be any error. When attempting to do so via the folder (and sub folders) it says no drivers found. Perhaps i'm doing this totally wrong?

Thanks again for your suggestion @WhiteCoffeeCat .

I've attempted to install the drivers. The Qualcomm worked fine but I've been unable to install the ADB driver. I've tried to bypass driver signatures and ect and even that didnt work.

So as of now, when my Xiaomi is in fastboot mode, it shows up as 'Android' in device manager.

Put Windows into testing mode before installing drivers in Miflash, adb.. Run cmd prompt as admin and type bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON or bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF for disabling testing mode.

Thanks @Stefke93 ! I gave that a try but still had the same outcome as before.

That said, I did find a way to resolve the problem i had....So i was able to install the ADB drivers in Device manager, I added a legacy hardware, selected Universal Serial Bus Function devices, and from their i found ADB usb driver. After that, it started to work fine.

Thanks everyone for the help. Got there in the end... I guess due to my back luck so far i was due a win... i didnt have to wait to unlock, i could do so immediately.

Hello, the same thing happened to me yesterday, I'll explain: you connect your Xiaomi 12 in fastboot mode, you right click on My PC and select manage, device manager, select the android device and right click, update driver, search for driver in my PC, choose drivers available on my PC, show all devices, use disk and look for the folder where you have saved the file that I am attaching (android_winusb), select Android ADB Interface and click Next, Done.

Thanks, but that doesn't help, otherwise I've already done it. I had m1 mac and with parallel desktop only the possibility to install win 11.. win 11 sucks.. I installed win10 on an intel mac in parallel and that solved my problem

Have you tried to disable driver signature enforcement in windows 11.

Hey,

So I had so many issues installing the drivers to allow my VM to detect my phone in fastboot mode.

This is what worked for me (quote below). I swear I attempted this a number of times with different cables and it eventually worked. Mine seemed to work with an apple usb C cable instead othe official xiaomi cable with a usb c converter for the m1 mac.

I got that same problem, solved by connecting a multiport usb on my computer, then connecting my device MI12TPro on that multiport... then everything went better

Hi Tek,
I have had many issues with windows and fastboot,
some cables would work with some of the ports and then not.

My pc has 12 usb ports, yet it was still hit and miss whether fastboot would work on my Poco F3.

I tried your tip and after using a cheapy Targus 4 port usb adaptor, my "FASTBOOT PROBLEMS ARE NOW SOLVED"
now what am i going to do with my 7 surplus USB-C Cables

Many thanks for your TIP
