Having trouble getting fastboot and miflash_unlocker to work - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Whenever I boot my phone into fastboot mode and connect it to my computer, the fastboot logo disappears and is replaced by the message "press any key to shutdown". Miflash says that there is no device connected. I have tried switching ports, I am running windows 10 64-bit with and Intel CPU. I installed the latest drivers and it still hasn't worked. I double check USB debugging and OEM unlocking were enabled.

Same here, minus the shutdown message. Unable to connect to misuite either. No problem connecting via windows explorer.

About the MiSuite thing, that is no longer supported for devices running above MIUI 7, so you shouldn't be worried about that

Well, at least that is one problem solved. Silly, but whatever. Still leaves us both unable to use miflash.
Of course I try my wifes laptop and it works instantly. 72 hour wait now. No idea why neither of my two laptops work with it.

Just wondering, what operating system does your wife's computer run? I heard using windows 7 fixes the problem in some cases.

We both run Windows 10 - x64 and Intel.

USB Device not recognized / Unknown Device

I'm having an issue where my thunderbolt does not recognize my device any longer. I used to have it set up with pdanet and everything worked well for about a week. All of a sudden, any computer i tried to plug the device into, wouldn't detect the phone. A friend of mine has tried his thunderbolt on my computer and it detects it.
When plugging my phone in, it pops up an error message with "USB Device not Recognized." In the device manager, the phone shows up as Unknown Device. I have tried this on 3 different pc's, using 3 different data cables. No USB symbol displays on the taskbar of the phone when I plug it in, however, it does charge.
What I have tried:
Changing data cables.
Using another PC.
Uninstalling device drivers and letting windows re-detect and install.
Downloaded HTC Sync and ran it after uninstalling drivers again and re-plugging the phone.
Changed different Connection settings on the phone, such as USB Debuggin on/off, and changing it to HTC Sync Mode, Charge Only, Disk Drive, etc
Mounted and unmounted SD Card in the phone settings.
OS: Windows 7 x64
Thank you for any help you may provide.
same problem
I have the same problem with HTC mytouch 3g 32B Android 2.2.1 when I plug it through usb under Vista.
Any suggestions?
Try installing the usb drivers from htc if you haven't.

I have download the HTC usb drivers but when i go to control panel and uninstall the unknown device it just reinstalls it. when i try to update drivers using the location
ie C:\Users\sxristi\Downloads\android-usb-driver\Android USB Driver\i386
i get a reply
The best software for you device is already installed. Windows has determined that the driver software for your device is up to date.
and it continues to point to
unknown device
Oh one more things i got the usb drivers from Android SDK Manager the google usb drivers revision 4 and the weird thing is that i do not get the trident usb nor the debug icon on my HTC when i plug it in to my vista. I did get it once or twice before but not in general since the usb devices are not recognized. However when i boot on my Ubuntu os then i do get them recognized. so i guess the problem is with windows drivers somehow...
Thanks for the replies.
I've tried to install the drivers from HTC but Windows says that the driver is not compatible with my the device.
Also, I tried on a system with Windows XP and everything worked as intended, but I cannot get it to work properly in Win 7 x64 anymore.
When my win7 comp no longer sees my Tbolt I have to toggle the USB Debugging off then back on. Usually within a few seconds it reads it again. If that does not work I have also used the option to turn on internet pass through then change it back to hard drive mode. Either of those usually work for me. My drivers I used were from android sdk if that makes any difference. Hope this helps.

HTC
My problem continues under Vista OS. I called HTC and they told me to re install their Sync after removing Adobe Air and all HTC drivers and Google USB drivers. I did that and reinstalled Sync and still nothing. They also told me to call microsoft for it seems operating system conflict.
My conclusion yields toward windows conflict. But I can not figure out this conflict. Perhaps something I have installed does not let my vista recognize the HTC android device and uses the windows usb drivers to create this "Unknown Device" under usb serial bus controllers. once it is an unknown device forget about Sync or ADB etc... The phone is just not recognized as android and you can not do much with it via windows.
For the person who suggested to turn "USB Debugging" on-off, i did that and still the computer recognizes that there is a usb device but again it says "usb device not recognized unknown device.."
any additional suggestions???
I've verified that my phone works fine on Windows XP. I still cannot connect to windows 7, though.
Try turning OFF Fast Boot and turning ON USB debugging. this helped for me.
same problem
I have a similar problem too .. i know its not the computer as other phones and pen drives are working ok.
Plus this phone has same problem on other computers too, where as other phones work fine.
So it has to do something with the phone and not the drivers or computer in anyway
I have the same problem, no PC recognizes my HTC Thunderbolt. Now change cable and tried with windows xp, 7 and 8. Is there any solution I can not root. I want to change the rom factory rom I do not like but I can not do anything because I do not recognize the usb. Also the menu does not appear when I connect via USB in the notification bar.

Windows 8 driver issues

It seems no matter what I do I keep getting device not recognized. I have tried installing all the drivers via kies, I have turned on usb debugging, uninstalled stuff on the pc. I just can not get this to work, I am using the cable that came with the device and have tried different ports.
It look's like I might be having this issue with windows 7 as well. I am now at least getting it to some times show up in device manager. Currentley when I set it to PTP it pops up as a MTP USB Device but has the error symbol. If I do MTP it shows up as SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device with the error.
For people with windows 8: Once you have the driver downloaded, right click on the file and go to properties. Go to the compatibility tab. Put a check next to run this program in compatibility mode. Choose Windows 7 from the drop down window. This should allow you to install the drivers. Kies never recognized my device, but Odin did. I am now rooted. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.
I have a little different problem (also windows 8).
This is a custom built desktop tower that i did a clean win8 install on and it doesnt respond at all when I plug in my N2. Absolutely NOTHING happens, although it works just fine plugged into my wifes LT with windows 8 and I didnt even install any drivers in it.
This same tower works just fine with my two galaxy 3s.

Where can you find the driver? All I can find is using keis to install drivers. If you go to the site it only has a pdf
usb driver

I have Windows 8 Pro x64 (clean installed) on a custom built tower, and haven't had a single issue using ODIN to flash beans rom, or any problems mounting the device to read/write files. I didn't have to do anything crazy or custom to get it working either.. just installed the drivers in the thread about rooting the phone originally with ODIN.

We are both running with the exact same setup. I built my PC and am using enterprise on the custom build. My laptop at work I am using pro. The drivers provided on the rooting page do nothing for me either. This is so frustrating, and when I had the note 2 on sprint it worked just fine. I am starting to wonder if the issue is the phone.
I had some troubles with my galaxy nexus on win 8 too, with similar rig to yours. I'll see what happens over the weekend when I get my Note set up.
Factory restore fixed the issue.
But still no kies
For anyone having problems, I think this should fix it after the reboot. Let me know.
How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.
Didn't do anything for me :/. My phone doesn't even give me the option to go into other modes to interface with my pc. My windows 8 machine sees the device as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM but says that it is missing drivers. When I try and get it to automatically search for drivers it comes up with nothing even when my system has samsung drivers sitting on it. I have tried it on my Windows 7 machine also and it has had similar results. It's strange because Odin sees my phone. I was able to flash root66 rom on it but after that nothing, I can't even get a factory image back on it, it'll only accept root66.
Try using a USB hub. That worked for me on my Win8 machine. I tried factory reset and it didnt work. I also tried re loading windows and it still didnt work. I plugged into a usb hub and my pc recognized my phone....

It's not an issue of your phone. It's an issue of Window 8. This might work but I can't guarantee you 100%.
You may try to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if it helps:
a. Right click on setup file.
b. Click on Properties.
c. Click on Compatibility tab.
d. Put a check mark on Run this program in compatibility mode for.
e. Select Windows 7.
f. Put a check mark on Run this program as an administrator under Privilege Level.
I had already done all that. Upon factory restoring it worked without a hitch. I had the same issue on pc's running win7

HTC Drivers for Windows 8.1

They work for me in 8.1, however, for some reason, fastboot will NOT work with any USB 3.0 port (with the blue color). Make sure you are connecting to a 2.0 port!
same issue, and i'm using usb 2.0. i'm also using original usb cable and have tried other cables as well.
i am to getting this problem is there any solution on this
I downloaded the latest HTC Sync which installed the drivers. I have no problem with Fastboot and my One. You can unintstall Sync afterwards.

And you're using Windows 8.1 right? I just tried that, did a system restore to before I had any drivers whatsoever installed...then installed the latest HTC Sync. The adb drivers work fine but as soon as I reboot into the bootloader I get the same USB enumeration error and fastboot doesn't work. I have no idea how to fix this, it's real frustrating.
Sorry I haven't responded sooner. Yes I am on 8.1 and have no issues.
I can confirm it was a USB 3.0 issue in my case. As soon as I found a regular USB 2.0 port all my Windows 8.1 woes went away.
i have flashed pacman in my phone and now i cant mount usb storage on my pc , i am having windows 8.1 in my pc . But when i am having stock rom i am able to mount usb , please help me . My Phone Model is HTC Desire S

Fastboot driver bug

Hello people,
I really don't know what to do anymore. I double checked every settings in my phone, reinstalled drivers, but everytime i connect my device in fastboot mode i hear the windows 10 sound that USB device has connected, then when i open the Mi Unlock Tool i hear the sound of USB disconnecting and my device shows the freaking "Press any key to shutdown".
I searched everywhere, tried all my USB ports, tried into W10 security mode.
I got my windows 10 on update 1809.
every settings in my device is set correctly: OEM unlock, Mi account etc..
This also happens if i open adb and type "fastboot oem device-info"
I don't have another PC to try and i really wouldn't like to install windows 7
Also i noticed that when i get this bug i see multiple "fastboot.exe" proccesses in my task manager
i have the same problem and the solution it s an other pc on windows 32 bit
I'm surprise this doesnt have a solution besides straight out moving to another PC.. omg

Cant unlock Bootloader Period.

I have just got my phone today and have spent 5 hours trying to get to the point where the mi unlock software tells me to wait 72 hours.
I put my phone in fastboot mode and as soon as I connect it to the computer it disappears. Tried 5000 different ways to do this and even
wiped my pc with a clean install of windows but no matter what my phone is not recognized in the unlock tool. Please steer me in the right direction.
I'm sure I'm not the first person with this issue.
If I remember correctly, the unlock tool has an installable driver in the settings option. That should make the phone detectable in fastboot

I was facing the same issue, go to Device manager in Windows 10. In the View tab enable show hidden devices, then you should see Android Phone on the top. Click the right arrow and uninstall drivers under Android phone, connect your phone again and the drivers should be installed.
Windows 10 should detect your device in Fastboot mode now onwards.

unlocker said proper driver installed but install screen stays greyed out. What a pain the butt this is.
If I recall it right you just have to go to the mi unlock site and apply, the unlock is bouund to the mi account.
Have you tried a different usb port? Heard pocophone is finicky on usb 3.0, maybe use a usb 2.0 port.
Try another USB port. It solved for me.

All my Xiaomi phones, including Poco F1, are recognized in Windows 10, and I've unlocked them all in Windows 10. So it shouldn't be Windows.
Why is your phone going to a black screen when you boot in fastboot mode ?
I don't know how to solve your problem though. I reboot my phone into fastboot while not connected to the PC, and it surely will show the fastboot animation screen. Then I plug in the cable to the PC, and the unlock tool will start its work.
Maybe redownload the MI unlocker tool ... or create a new MI account and re-bind that account under developer options ...
unlocking boot loader will wipe all the data right?
That is correct. You need to wait 3 days when unlocking the bootloader. That is Xiaomi's waiting period for the Pocophone.
Better than Samsung's 7 day wait, and better than LG's way of having to request an unlock key.

@Apgibby
Are you putting the phone in bootloader mode, connect it to the PC and then opening the Mi Unlocker? The correct sequence is open the Unlocker, put your phone in bootloader mode and then connect it to the PC. Try it.
If still not working, open the adb command window on your PC, put your phone in bootloader mode and connect it to the PC. Now type "fastboot devices" (without the quotation marks). You should get a serial number with alphabets and numerals. If you get it, it is confirmation that your drivers for bootloader are working. Try this and let us know the result.
Lastly, try another PC.
Solved used windows 7 with usb 2.0 ports.
