I solve the problem with "fastboot unlockinkg", but now i am stuck again.
After "fastboot devices" is nothing on the skreen, or sometimes just "waiting for device".
Any ideas?
Maybe your drivers are wrong... This drivers helped other people too, you can test if you want https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4Zy8uoEfFKLRFlCNVJ6aGxlYVk
Also you can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/orig-development/tool-toolzukz1eng0-0-3-mauronofrio-t3332563 it's quite easy to unlock the device and install recovery etc.

2nd screenshot: you typed "faastboot" instead of "fastboot", one a character too much so the command is unknown.
Please correct and try again
