Hello!

I wanted to unlock my bootloader on my Redmi Note 11, but I have ran into a problem. It won't detect it in fastboot.exe or the Mi Unlock tool. I already:
  • Installed the Google USB driver
  • Updated the Mi Unlock tool, My phone, Windows
  • Enabled USB debugging & OEM unlocking
  • Booted the device in fastboot mode (Orange text saying FASTBOOT)
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Is the cable good and is there a normal connection for data exchange with the phone?
Are you using the USB port from the motherboard?
Does the adb devices command work and can you see the device?
Thanks for your reply

The cable is in perfect condition, it was shipped with my phone and it works.

No I am using the one on the case, I am not sure on how it will affect this in any way but I am gonna try it.

Nope, ADB doesn't report anything

yo!

this happened to me also, i did fixed it by installing the fastboot driver

1. download the attachment below.
2. then extract it, a folder called 'Fastboot driver' should appear.
3. now, press Win+R, and a Run window should appear.
4. copy paste this 'devmgmt.msc' (without the quotation) into it, press OK.
5. Device Manager should appear. On top left, go to Action -> Add Drivers.
6. Browse to the 'Fastboot driver' folder, select it, click OK and then click Next.
7. after 'Drivers successfully installed', click Close.

now if things goes right, fastboot should be detected by now.
if not, idk tbh
