Hey Guys,
i tried to Root my Moto E4 but Unfortunally i cant get Fastboot to work under Windows 10 Home 64 Bit on Both my Notebook and my PC. I installed The Motorola Device Manager (Since it comes with drivers) and installed ADB and Fastboot but once i Reboot into Fastboot Mode it wont Recognize it for flashing. The CMD Just Says Waiting for Device. I have expierience with Rooting other Phones but i never had this much Trouble getting Fastboot to work properly. Would be awesome if u could show me a Solution to this since i really want a Custom Rom.

There's no trick, it just works. I have Windows 10 64 bit as well and no issues. Maybe you need to update your platform tools (adb and fastboot). Using old ones can be a problem.
What command are you issuing? Just fastboot devices ?
Make sure you're not using a USB 3.0 port on your computer.

Few other thoughts:
- try a different cable; a cable that works for charging and adb communication may not work with fastboot
- avoid external hubs if possible
- be sure to reboot both devices after switching drivers if communication isn't immediately established

When you say you booted to fastboot what do you mean ?
Did use adb and your phone was recognized and then you issued adb command or what method are you using ....
You need to ensure you establish USB debugging connection first & grant authorization ...once link with authorization has been established run adb ...from adb check if recognized run command to boot to fastboot
So start from the top && go down
ARE YOU CERTAIN YOU USED CORRECT METHOD TO TURN OFF DRIVER VERIFICATION ON WINDOWS 10 && YOUR DRIVER ACTUALLY INSTALLED
Last noteworthy point ... when unlocking my motoE4 I had to boot to bootloader ONLY to use fastboot NOT "FASTBOOT"
Hold power + volume button
Excellent troubleshooting from our community. OP has not come back yet to confirm, ask another question, or simply a thanks. (Maybe he got it) Hopefully he gets it sorted.
Maybe the junior members underestimate just how quick and helpful our little community can be.
@Marc_Xperia Do not forget to install AndroidBootloaderInterface Driver Software. *android_winusb.inf*
Thats what my Problem is. I installed the Latest Android Studio, i have gone to SDK Manager. Installed the Android 7.1 Files and USB Drivers and this happens everytime i want to unlock my BL. And yes i disabled Driver Signing on Windows 10. I call it Fastboot Mode since im Used to Xperias so im Sorry i confused anyone.

When you authorize your adb connection do you tick or select always allow connections from this device ...the fact that your device is listed as *unauthorised* is a clear indication in your previous attempts you didn't authorize to "allways allow connections" from this device
#result _when you reboot authorization is revoked
Enter bootloader mode the old skool way using your buttons..
# MAKE SURE TO SELECT "ALLOW OEM UNLOCK OPTION IN DEVELOPS settings
1.AUTHORIZE TO "ALWAYS ALLOW CONNECTIONS FROM THIS DEVICE"
2.enter bootloader using hardware keys
3.plug in usb
4.run fastboot devices to force fastboot to start deamon ...
5.once fastboot can see your device run oem unlock
6.DO NOT USE USB 3 port so try different USB ports on pc
7. Alternatively use a live USB of Ubuntu minimal to do the job
--- doesn't seem like driver problem if adb can see your device
See if that works

I did all of that. Next Problem when i boot the device with Vol Down + Power and select meta mode. I will get only the Motorola Logo or a Normal Reboot into System. I set everything up in Developer Settings. Enabled Debugging and Allow Bootloader Unlock.

Why select meta mode ? When you are in bootloader you use your volume keys to navigate between meta, recovery& factory reset & meta and you use your power key to select different modes ...what do you want to do in meta mode ?
When you are in bootloader you are essentially in fastboot mode too so it isn't necessary to choose any of the other options unless you are trying to get into recovery which is pointless if you haven't flashed custom recovery yet ..
I Succeded. I Booted into Bootloader with ADB and took a look at Device Manager to install the Driver Properly.
i followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/guide-unlock-moto-e4-bootloader-unique-t3654275.
Thank you for all of your Replys.

I am trying to unroot my Nexus S and relock the boot loader. I've followed multiple guides and tried them on different computers (mac & windows). Every time I am supposed to type in "fastboot oem lock" and every time the command prompt just says waiting for device and nothing happens
I've installed the usb drivers from the android SDK so I'm lost as to why this is happening
I'm running the I9020T on Wind
Fix: Turns out it was just a driver issue, following these instructions got it working for me
Part 1 - Drivers
1 - Download Android SDK
2 - Unzip & launch "SDK Manager.exe"
3 - Cancel the first popup & go to "Available packages" > "Third party Add-ons" > "Google Inc."
4 - Select "Google USB Driver package" & click "Install Selected"
5 - Once you're finished go to your SDK installation "extras\google\usb_driver" dir
6 - (MOD EDIT: Ignore this step for i9020A models) Open "android_winusb.inf" and add the following lines to both "[Google.NTx86]" and "[Google.NTamd64]" sections :
;
;Google Nexus S GT-i9023
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E20
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as described here [SOLVED] Google Android USB drivers - Nexus S SCLCD GT-i9023 not recognized
7 - Turn Off your SNS
8 - Make sure the SNS is connected to the PC via the USB cable
9 - Boot the SNS into the Bootloader Interface, by holding Volume UP & Power button
It reads LOCK STATE - LOCKED
Open Device Manager (or run devmgmt.msc) make sure you don't see this problem (windows failed to identify the SNS and install the correct drivers)
10 - Do a right click and select Update Driver Software
11 - Select Brose my computer for driver software
12 - Point it to your Android SDK installation "extras\google\usb_driver" dir
13 - Make sure to CLICK "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
14 - Then from the list 3 choices select Android Bootloader Interface
15 - If it's installed properly it should show up like this (reboot is not required)
NOTE: if you encounter problems like question marks, unknown drivers, or exclamation marks eve after you have installed the drivers, download and try the USBDeview 32/64 to remove and uninstall all the junk USB devices from your computer/registry

Turn on usb debug inside the os.
Then do adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader do fastboot oem lock
Hope this helps

Unfortunately i've tried that, nothing happens after I enter fastboot lock
Once you unlocked your bootloader you can not lock it again.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? Did you try a different usb cable?
1. connect the USB cable directly to USB port on the laptop/desktop; dont connect via monitor USB or extension
2. Open device manager and check if the device is detected as ADB; you need to have the drivers installed
3. perform "fastboot oem lock"
or
Follow the step by step instructions here

Although it probably didn't work because before I started the tutorial I installed a ROM which removed Clockwork recovery. I'm going to reroot my phone and try again from the beginning.
Edit: wait that's a lie, I did this a week ago so I'm not 100% sure what I did now, but I'm pretty sure I used the ROM from the guide
I've tried flashing a new recovery but I get the same "waiting for device" message
This makes me think it's a usb issue. I've been having usb issues for a while now, I've tried different cords and different computers. Is there any options I have left.
EDIT: Now I'm almost 100% sure the only thing standing in my way is the USB problems.
Try installing pdanet and using their drivers. Although i doubt this will work as im almost sure that the fastboot drivers arent the same as the adb drivers. Try disconnecting ng and reconnecting your phone on usb once you boot into bootloader.

I have followed Heisenbergs instructions to the letter but when I issue the adb devices command it just returns the string "list of devices" and that's it. Fastboot devices doesn't work either.
So I'm stuck at the start. Can anyone help me? From what I can tell I may need drivers but I'm new to this so I don't know.
I can give anyone more info if they need it.
I believe part of the instructions are to install the Platform Tools, which should include drivers. Try running the SDK Manager and updating or installing the drivers again. Also ensure you have USB Debugging ON in your Developer settings and OEM Unlocking enabled. Lastly, tap the notification in your shade about the USB connection (I think it defaults to Charging Only) and change it to various modes. Mine seems to only work on PTP mode. When you run the adb devices command you will need to authorize the connection on the phone end the first time by clicking OK so make sure the screen is on and unlocked so you can see it.
Hope this helps.

Me personally do not get any strings of data returned when im on fastboot
i open CMD, run ADB DEVICES, get message saying the port is opening, and then listing devices... which is empty
but i am able to flash anything i want using fastboot....
try this command and see if it works after that... fastboot reboot-bootloader
it should reboot bootloader for u.. thats a easy way to know its responding to u

Yeah I tried every option. Nothing.
The instructions say the fastboot devices command should return my serial number and it does not.
When booted into the bootloader one it tells me on one line phone LOCKED and on another line says download mode DISABLED.
Don't know if this has anything to do with my problems but I still cannot get a return on the fastboot devices command in order to proceed with the unlock command of "fastboot flashing unlock"
remember that u need latest fastboot for this to work.
did u updated the SDK manager to the latest? i had to do that in order to work for 6P

I had the same issue ,it was down to when I plugged the phone into the PC for the first time,it installed the Google.USB driver ,but it didn't install the driver for the adb interface,I had to download it from Google and install it manually
I also had the same issue, I had an old Clockworkmod generic driver that I was using for my Samsung Galaxy S5 installed.
Go to Device manager (either type it in the start menu, or: right click This PC, click manage, and click device manager), plug in your unlocked Nexus 6P phone and watch for a new item to pop up. If it says android something, uninstall it. I had to uninstall 3 times, then reinstall the drivers from the SDK before it would work.
I used the skipsoft toolkit to install the fb drivers; worked for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...ol-skipsoft-android-toolkit-nexus-6p-t3234159

Thank you.
Just to clarify, when you reboot your device into the bootloader (fastboot), if you type the command 'fastboot devices' (without quotes) in ADB, you get nothing showing up in the device list?
Which Moto drivers are you using, what device do you have and are you issuing the commands via minimal ADB or another ADB command tool?

This was very helpful. Took me hours to find it but glad I did. On to step 2. lol How I was able to fix not being able to load anything in fastboot was this.
1. I right clicked on the Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit.msi and selected uninstall. Repair did nothing.
2. Rt click view properties of Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit.msi.
3. On the general tab I noticed it was blocked so I unblocked it.
4. Then switched to Compatibility tab.
5. Selected run compatibility mode, any previous version of windows.
--This stops the version checker
6. Hit apply save and ran it.

When your device isn't recognized by your pc you need to check if any firewall, antivirus or the driver signature verification prevents your device from being recognized. Also make sure that you reboot your pc after the installation of the Motorola drivers.

Have you checked firewall and antivirus to be disabled?
You can also provide the whole console output here to get better overview of your errors :good:

Oh, nice to know...
Unless you did not provide an console output its hard to help. Additional you need to make sure that "fastboot devices" displays the serial number, if it doesn't, you need to check firewall, driver signature verification, antivirus etc etc on the PC of your friend.
It's a common problem and the things to check by your end are the same and everything I've seen and read it's cause of the mentioned problems. Maybe your friend has something wrong configured or whatever.

In addition to strongst's helpful replies which I concur with (device signature enforcement on Windows 10 is a common issue, as it may stop you from installing the fastboot driver, and thus your device won't be loaded. Disable driver enforcement if you can and it doesn't void the laptop warranty), are you using the original Motorola USB cable or a high quality USB data cable? Also, try another USB port if you can.
For information, I've attached the Device Manager screenshot of my device, booted into the bootloader, and connected via the original USB cable to a USB 2.0 port. You'll note it's loaded as an Android Device via the Motorola ADB Interface (from the Motorola Device Manager software https://motorola-global-en-roe.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/89881 ). Your device, loaded as fastboot athene_16mp suggests it's a driver issue.
Furthermore, if you want to unlock your bootloader, you'll need a computer to flash TWRP and may be useful having a computer around for troubleshooting/reverting back to stock Motorola firmware.
Just for curiosity sake I hope you changed the connection from charging to file transfer and switched on usb debugging. Cuz otherwise all what is needed already said by others. :/
Whenever I go to my friend's house and use his laptop to unlock my bootloader I will give you screen shot of display which causes problem for me to unlock my bootloader,thanks sir!!!!! And how to know that any anti virus ,firewall and other things you mentioned is stop me to install moto drivers?

In addition to strongst's helpful replies which I concur with (device signature enforcement on Windows 10 is a common issue, as it may stop you from installing the fastboot driver, and thus your device won't be loaded. Disable driver enforcement if you can and it doesn't void the laptop warranty), are you using the original Motorola USB cable or a high quality USB data cable? Also, try another USB port if you can.
For information, I've attached the Device Manager screenshot of my device, booted into the bootloader, and connected via the original USB cable to a USB 2.0 port. You'll note it's loaded as an Android Device via the Motorola ADB Interface (from the Motorola Device Manager software https://motorola-global-en-roe.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/89881 ). Your device, loaded as fastboot athene_16mp suggests it's a driver issue.
Furthermore, if you want to unlock your bootloader, you'll need a computer to flash TWRP and may be useful having a computer around for troubleshooting/reverting back to stock Motorola firmware.

Tutorials for disabling driver enforcement can be found through a Google search (e.g. here's a link : https://www.drivethelife.com/window...e-enforcement-on-windows-10-8-7-xp-vista.html ) Of course, ask your friend before attempting this, as this allows you and anyone else to install and run unsigned drivers (including the fastboot drivers).
Okk thanks bro
So it is a safe driver(moto device manager)? Because if my friend ask me !!

You download it directly from motorola website? Why it should not be safe
Yes I downloaded from Motorola website ,it is also safe ,so why any PC not installed moto driver directly!!!!and gives fastboot _ Athens 16 mp s
I have my phone on bootloader mode, and "Android Bootloader Interface" is listed there. Even if I install the Samsung driver of the same name, it still says "no drivers are installed for this device". Fastboot commands won't work even though adb works perfectly fine

Update: Replacing the Google drivers (ADB, bootloader, etc) with Samsung ones in device manager broke everything so I had to reinstall the Samsung USB drivers, and uninstall platform-tools and the Google drivers through Android Studio
Adb/fastboot drivers work with Samsung drivers, not against.
Install both, don't set a preferred driver.
After that connect your phone while it's active on the main OS, the Samsung drivers will then properly install for your device.
Once the set-up is finished, boot into fastboot and plug your phone in using USB.
You computer should install generic drivers or specified bootloader drivers.

The driver issue was fixed by turning USB debugging back on, as I forgot to after I tested the validity of that done to death method to enable the OEM unlocking option, of setting the clock a week back and all, which my prediction was right of it being complete garbage. ADB now detects my device again and I'm able to reboot into the bootloader, but fastboot still does absolutely nothing

Yeah, sadly the a205u will probably never get root or custom ROMs. We have an extremely small chance since Samsung promised two major updates for the A20.
Either way, https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-universal-fastboot-adb-tool-t3475832/amp/
Has the fastboot drivers if you haven't tried that one yet.
