laptop can't detect OnePlus 6 in adb/fastboot

[tdm123]

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my OnePlus 6 so I can root but my laptop can't recognise my OnePlus in cmd prompt. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and even a rooting tool that I got from XDA and nothing is working, can someone help me? (I'm fairly new to rooting)

 

[hallo dare]

Did you enable usb debugging?

See if you can find your device in Device Manager. If it has an yellow triangle on it you need to install adb drivers for it.

Change USB port - It helped in my case.

Did you both checked "allow USB debugging" under developer options and actually allowed it after connecting to USB port, it it didn't appear on your phone?

As mentioned, make sure you've enabled Developer Options, then through there, enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging. Is the phone booted into fastboot mode (bootloader) when you're trying to find it via the command line? If you're booted into the system, fastboot won't work. Only adb will.

Another thing that might help is to use a Mac if you have access to one. There's no need for drivers, so that problem is eliminated. Connect via USB and the command line should work. (This is not a PC vs. Mac thing; it's just a practical matter.)

Solution

I had the same issue and the solution for me was to reinstall oneplus drivers the updated ones from the oneplus drive that appears when you connect the device.

As far as I remember, you can check devices with ADB devices not fastboot devices.

You can check with both adb and fastboot with the devices argument.

adb devices
fastboot devices

Same here
But my laptop can reconize my phone on fastboot mode

What OS? If it's Windows 10 N version, then you will need to download the Windows Media Feature Pack.

-Download latest OP6 drivers
-Enable Developer Options
-Enable USB debugging in developer options

When the phone is booted, you can use ADB devices commands, however, when in the bootloader, you'll probably have to use Fastboot devices.

On my phone, ADB devices never works at the bootloader, only outside of the bootloader.

I had an issue where every time I wanted to connect to fastboot, I had to turn off USB debugging, plug into my computer, wait for it to recognize, unplug, enable USB debugging, and reconnect to PC. Might be worth a shot to see if it's the same issue.

Doing this and enabling test mode on W10 LTSB before reinstalling the official OnePlus drivers worked on my OP5T (OOS 9.0.5). I had the same issue the OP described.

What can I do if the phone is locked and is in bootloop? I can't go and do the oem unlock and allow unlocking options in settings as phone is already in bootloop.
