Unlock bootloader - "waiting for any device" - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

I got my OP3 today and am trying to unlock the bootloader. I've tried every tutorial and toolkit out there but they all get stuck at the same point in adb, "waiting for device". The "adb devices" command works fine but anything else gets stuck on "waiting for any device". I've tried googling the issue but none of the suggestions have worked so far. Any input would be great.

did you enable oem unlocking from developer options?

bro you may be running win 10 and to connect fastboot on that u need adb driver which u will find on windows update all u have to do is just connect your phone with data transfer mode and update the window 10 . ull find something name qalllcom its adb drive or i dont but after that it will like charm.

I have all the necessary developer options checked. After futzing with it for hours, I tried a different computer (also Windows 10) and it worked right away. I'm going to see what the driver issue is this evening because I still would like to use the original computer I was using. Thanks for the replies!

What does "adb devices" return?

Screenshot:

for bl unlock, you need to be at fastboot mode, and installed right driver, for me working any of stock Google USB package fastboot bootloader driver.

Go to fastboot mode and do "fastboot devices", then try unlocking bl.

You can install the driver after disabling the driver enforcement..

I've tried everything including disabling driver enforcement on Win 10 but I still have the same issue. I have the wrong drivers installed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but when I plugin the phone, the wrong drivers get installed. I got it to work on another Windows 10 computer and below are device manager screenshots of the working (with right drivers) and not working (with wrong drivers) computers. I have no idea how to get the right drivers installed on the computer where its not working and unfortunately, its the primary computer I use.

Same here. When I reboot in fastboot mode, the driver adb interface disappears and I get the Android Bootloader Interface (Kedacom USB Driver).

Try this:
Connect the op3 to usb port - don't bother changing from "charging"
Right click on "ADB Interface" in dev man and disable it.
Without unplugging the op3 use the buttons to reboot into bootloader.
Hopefully W10 will now detect your op3 and either load the correct "oneplus" driver or create a new entry in dev man of Other Devices > Android Composite ADB Interface. Right click on this and then Update driver software > Browse my computer.... > Let me pick... > and if you're lucky One plus will show up in the manufacturer column and allow you to select the composite interface

I tried this but didn't see any new/different entry in DM when I rebooted into bootloader. Didn't see OnePlus under manufacturers either.

Okay so this is the problem. I figured it out 2 days ago.
check the bootloader driver when you're in fastboot. Right click it and update driver, it should be the Android Bootloader 9.00, and not Bootloader 11.00
it's a silly weird fix, but it should be under Android and not Kedacom
I was using the Android SDK Studio Platform Tools and Google Drivers provided from SDK Studio

deleted

Similiar to the previous users post I'll try and be a bit more clear.
unplug your device if plugged in.
boot in to fastboot mode on your device.
Go to your PC and access device manager
plug your device in and you should see
"kedacom" instead of android interface
now inside you wanna click update driver
browse my compute for driver software > let me pick from a list of driver software > "Android adb sooner interface"
if its not that exact one check for the one that does say adb interface.

I created a bootable USB drive with Linux Mint to solve my problem. It was Windows 10 that would recognize my OnePlus 3 in "Fastboot Mode" with Kedacom drivers.

simple question about adb driver installation

I was reading some instruction from htcevohacks.com. Since i didn't decide to root or not yet, i just want to install those sdk and driver on my pc. sdk part is easy, and i installed it successfully. But adb driver part is tricky.
I followed instruction, turn on "USB debugging" in the settings, and reboot phone into recovery mode, plugged usb cable. However, the device manager of windows 7 didn't find any adb devices, then i tried refresh, still no lucky at all. what should I do to find adb device then update driver? or i have to root first b4 installing adb driver?
Install HTC Sync, then reboot your computer

I did, actually. As a matter of fact, i do have that sync icon in my task bar
I am not sure, but i was wondering if the adb driver is necessary to be installed?
Yeah the HTC Sync.exe will have the drivers. Check your hardware configuration to make sure it's installed right then in the folder with adb installed use the command prompt to go: adb devices -> You should see a device with numbers. then you correctly installed it

this should definitely be in the Q&A board, not the developers board.
since you've already installed htc sync, the drivers should already be properly installed on your system.
ive only ran win xp and vista, not familiar with win 7, but if its designed the same, having no question marks, sounds like all connected devices have drivers properly installed ...
how do you know your adb drivers aren't installed? have you tried using adb? if so, what error does adb show?
Exit HTC sync first on your computer so it is not running or just uninstall it. It should find it after that.

Can't get Fastboot to work

Ok. I can't get fastboot to work. WIndows 10 laptop. Disabled driver verification. ADB works fine and reboots into bootloader but once in bootloader no fastboot. I've got an "Unknown Device" in Other Devices in Device manager and I've tried to assign the google driver manually but it's not recognized as a driver for the device
I've removed and reinstalled drivers pre and post driver verification
I tried adding PIxel C lines to the driver INF file as instructed on stack overflow
I don't know what else to try. And i've tried on two different computers???
Help please.. thanks
I fought with this for ages today. To start with, I have the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit installed. Now, when in bootloader, go to the device manager on your computer. Find the Pixel ("Unknown Device") and right click > Properties > Driver tab > Update Drivers > Browse Computer > Choose From List > WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data\Drivers > and pick the one that says something about the bootloader. Sorry, going off memory here. Now you should be able to get that one installed, and Fastboot will start showing up when in the bootloader.

That's OK. No problem. Did you try the steps in post #5 above?
Which operating system are you on? What worked for me on Windows 10 was to give up after several days and use a Windows 7 computer. I read everything and tried everything and I could not get Fastboot working on this device with Windows 10. I used every toolkit, every driver version, toolkits that install multiple driver versions, Minimal ADB + Fastboot, and who knows what else. If a well-documented end-to-end solution to this ever appears I'll be really grateful.
FWIW, it was my frustrations with this Windows driver nonsense, that eventually drove me to abandon Windows entirely. Been on Ubuntu for several years. No regrets.

It's very annoying, there seems to be a few reasons it fails. Cable, 3.0 usb ports, windows 10 drivers. I get different results with different cables in different types of usb ports. Also switching to PTP seems to work using a usb 2.0 port with a standard usb 2.0 A to micro with a micro to c adapter. Charging and MTP fail, but at least ADB and Fastboot respond.
I am going to try to edit the win10 driver using this post as reference.

I came to the same conclusion, but after a reboot it was unrecognized again.
Only way I can it to stick is installing the 2nd option drivers via skipsoft toolkit. Connect pixel c via 2.0 port and cable to PC. Switch to ptp. Then manually force install driver choosing have disk using bootloader option. From then on it works using ptp.
What I am able to see using USB Device Tree Viewer, is that when I plug in my Pixel C to my ASUS Z97-A blue usb ports with USB debugging enabled, it can not identify it. Those ports use Microsoft Windows 10 drivers for the Intel USB 3.0 eXensible Host Controller - 1.0. Which is what is causing the failure, not the Pixel C drivers. When I updated my other green USB ports driver, windows used the same ones on my ASMedia USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller and also couldn't recognize the Pixel C any longer. I rolled back to ASMedia drivers, it worked fine. Updated using newer ASMedia drivers 4/11/2016 ver 1.16.35.1 and those work fine. Now to find working drivers for the Inter Host. Win7 drivers refuse to load.
UPDATE: If your bios allows, disable xHCI. Your USB ports will work as USB 2.0 but will detect your PIXEL C without issues.
Solution works 100%
If you've installed the SDK drivers and win10 can detect your Pixel C in every mode with usb debugging off. Use these win10 USB xHCi drivers,

OP3 Not Found By Fastboot (Win 10)

So I'm running windows 10 on my pc and my op3 is easily found by windows. When I enter fastboot mode on my op3, the command "fastboot devices" doesn't show my op3. I used that 15 sec adb & fastboot installer.

Have you enabled oem unlocking from developer options?
I'm having the same problem. After going back to Oxygen OS (now 3.5.4) from MIUI 8 fastboot just doesn't work anymore. ABD works just fine (tried on Minimal ABD and Fastboot on Windows and ABD installed over Android Studio on Ubuntu. Fastboot did recognize the phone on Ubuntu but flashing TWRP resolved in a bootloop (tried the old and the new recovery image).
All drivers are installed on both Windows and Ubuntu (I even removed all drivers on Windows and added them again) and just to make sure everything gets installed I disabled driver signature verification on Windows, but as I said - still no luck.
Edit: Of course USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking is enabled (my bootloader is also unlocked since I already had tried out multiple roms)
Had the same Problem, Win10 is the Problem + the old OP Drivers + the new Update to Win10 etc.
Nothing worked, tryed everything. Created a Thread last week here also...
After that i created a new Partition and installed Win7 on it. All works fine, only thing is while Boot ur System u have to pick ur OS or it waits 30sec to boot up but thats ok.
Now i have Win10 for everything and i reboot to win7 for Fastboot/OP3

Can't solve your problem, but OP3 fastboot does work in Windows 10. I did have to disable driver signature verification to install the driver in the first place, and you'll have to leave it off for the driver to stay functional, but it definitely works on Win 10.
I dont tryed ur Way, so yes after disable Driver sign. it works like u Said but i did not Test it.
i had the same problem to find the correct adb driver spent many hours but it didnt work so after that last i try to update windows 10 and find adb driver there after updating window its work like charm so all u have to do is just connect ur phone with data transfer mode on and search the window automatic updates .
Same here
It's driving me crazy. I've updated from a rooted stock OS (incl TWRP) via full OTA directly to 3.2.7, which removed TWRP and root.
I now cannot enter a Fastboot mode which detects the USB connection. Thus I can't flash TWRP again and can't root my phone, making lots of apps unusable.
I've tried every suggestion on every thread but nothing works...

Yeah that one. After disabling the driver signature verification you have to re install it, when it's not disabled windows just doesn't install it although it says it does. After I disabled it Windows actually showed a completely new window during installation to install the driver properly

Ok, not sure if you know about this, but you'll have to install the drivers with signed driver enforcement turned off in windows 10:
Setting > update & security > recovery tab > Advanced start-up (restart now).
On boot up you'll use the function keys to turn off "signed driver enforcement" or something similar.
Then try and install adb/fastboot from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
It should come up with an extra security window during the installation - the driver will be properly installed and you'll be able to use fastboot on your OP3

No fastboot!

Hi there,
I'm trying to install TWRP. But I can't do any fastboot command. ADB works. Device isn't recognized in system and with "fastboot devices" nothing shows up. :/
I've tryed many drivers but nothing works.
I'm using Win 10 x64. Does anyone have a suitable way to get it working?
Thanks!

This is a problem related to Windows 10 that uses the wrong driver.
Somewhere I have found a guide to manually choose the correct one, but at the moment I don't remember where... googling you will find instructions

Hi there,
I'm trying to install TWRP. But I can't do any fastboot command. ADB works. Device isn't recognized in system and with "fastboot devices" nothing shows up. :/
I've tryed many drivers but nothing works.
I'm using Win 10 x64. Does anyone have a suitable way to get it working?
Thanks!

Oh sorry.
Does someone have an idea?
This might come a year too late, but in case someone else runs into the same problem (like myself), you can solve it by installing the latest (signed) ADB drivers with this Tool, then rebooting the tablet to fastboot mode and run the tool again. This still doesn't install the correct fastboot drivers, but it should now be listed as "ADB Interface" -> "Unknown Device" in the device manager, and if you right click and choose "Update driver" -> "Browse my computer for driver software", you should see a driver called "Fastboot interface (Google USB ID)", that installs and works correctly for the Pixel C.
@Mambobuzzz
One option you have and it's been updated this month too, is you could try installing and using tiny adb & fastboot from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-windows-tiny-adb-fastboot-august-2021.3944288/
I can't stand Windows for a few reasons! Make a live USB and try a Linux distro! You will never have this problem again and I guarantee you won't miss Windows.

Reasons why this is happening:
Bad connection somewhere.. The USB connection you are plugging in to on your PC could be messed up, the USB cord could be messed up, or where your type c plugs in to your device is messed up.... Oooorrrrr it's driver issue. And knowing Windows I betcha it's a driver issue. When you plug your tablet in are you enabling USB debugging and developer options and changing the "default USB configuration" from "Charging" to "File tansfer ?" And when you do those things are you watching the table REALLY CLOSELY for the little box that pops up for 5 seconds that you MUST put a checkmark in otherwise adb and fastboot will not work? Reboot a few times on your PC and update the drivers in Windows Device manager.. I remember once I had to reboot 3-4 times to finally get mine working. When you type adb --version then push enter in terminal and fastboot --version push enter what does it say?
