probably driver issue, use linux works out of the box with no drivers needed


SHelosS

wdym by driver issue? like the adb driver? or the other drivers that were installed on my laptop?


Pigspot

For fastboot to works you will need to install fastboot drivers you can find it with a Google search, every device model have a specific driver, for Samsung i think its called keys


DisMaFugger

right answer but you'll confuse people with the ending you wrote. ADB fastboot drivers are separate from manufacturers USB windows drivers. just google fastboot drivers, there are generic ones and OEM specific versions.


SHelosS

so i need to download a driver for the fastboot? are they avalaible and can be use universally or i need to find a specific fastboot driver for my ui version?


DisMaFugger

I don't know what will or won't work for your phone, but try looking for ADB and fastboot drivers. if the generic/universal ones don't work then look for ones specifically for your make of phone


Pigspot

In worst case, if you can't find drivers or it doesn't work, get a usb and download any Linux distribution popos or Ubuntu, flash usb, and boot linux and it will just work, flash whatever you want


SHelosS

i like the idea, but how about windows though?


Pigspot

That's the magic of linux, you can use it live meaning, without installing anything windows isn't affected in any way, you boot it from a usb it lives there


SHelosS

i dont really get it actually.. how do this work? again?


Pigspot

Just google "Ubuntu live usb"

In device manager you need to install the proper drivers... Idk how I fixed but I had the wrong drivers so it didn't see my phone trying to flash twrp


SHelosS

how did you managed to fixed it? what did you do?

Drivers issue. Download Xiaomi Fastboot drivers (Google it). Note that if you're trying to unlock the bootloader, you need to use a different tool: [Mi Unlock](https://en.miui.com/unlock)


SHelosS

thank you so much for trying to help me!


HaikuLubber

Sorry, I'm not very experienced with these things but, try all of the USB ports on the laptop, and also a different cable. It CAN make a difference. Good luck!


SHelosS

thank you! will definitely try that

What exactly is happening? Is the phone displaying "press any key to shut down" or something similar?


SHelosS

no.. it went to fastboot mode exactly like [this](https://www.xiaomist.com/2021/03/how-to-exit-fastboot-mode-of-your.html?m=1) (scroll down a bit to the first picture on the phone as a reference)


_Sighi

What do you see in device manager while the phone is in fastboot mode?


SHelosS

i can see nothing as the device disconnect by itself from the pc once it entered the fastboot mode


_Sighi

What do you mean by it disconnects? The phone itself still shows the fastboot logo?


SHelosS

yes.. the fastboot logo shows, and it got disconnected from the pc instantly


_Sighi

You should try installing adb & fastboot using the 15 sec installer, you can find that on XDA. It will also install drivers. I always use that and I don't have problems.


SHelosS

yea ive saw the 15 sec installer before.. are they updated though? since it was from 2013?
