Try to check if your Fastboot drivers are installed correctly or not. Go to Device Manager in Your PC Properties and check whether your device is showing there in Fastboot mode or not? Only then you can unlock your bootloader and after unlocking you'll be able to proceed to Install and flash TWRP and Custom ROM's

No it doesn't!!! That's why i am searching for another way,

Try Installing this.

Tried it but it doesn't work

You need to connect your phone to usb 2.0 ports on your pc for the Mi Unlock / Flash tool to detect your phone in fastboot mode. If you don't have a usb 2.0 port, a usb 2.0 hub will also work.
Hope this helped.

Tried 2.0 also but no luck.

It's just a connectivity issue, uninstall the drivers and retry everything from the start watching some guide on youtube.
It is normal, it happens some time, there is no other way to install twrp.

[Q] Xperia Ray doesn't show up on computer, how to unlock bootloader?

I apologize for making this thread again as I misunderstood my device name previously (I thought it's a Play but it's a Ray)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49236873
Is there any way for this device to unlock bootloader without connecting to the pc?
I can access fastboot (the blue light) but my pc doesn't say anything nor the device show up in device manager when connected, Flashtool doesn't detect anything.
Is there a way to install ROM without connecting to the computer, only accessing fastboot?
Thank you.

No, that's not possible
I guess you should try reinstalling all drivers from flashtool for all devices, or try installing PC Companion or SEUS. If that's not working, open the windows device manager and uninstall/update the drivers for your phone when it's connected

troubleshooting to connect the phone to the PC

Hi all,
by cons for several weeks I've a concern with my redmi Note 2 and I can't find the answer to my problem on the forum or even the Internet.
Since the last update 7.2.2 (global) I have the Recovery MIUI who crushed the TWRP. I changed to test 6.3.17. The update to the .24 went wrong and I don't know why. Since the phone is bootloop. But the problem is that my phone is not recognized by any PC. I tried several PCs, several cables, several drivers, with or without the Fastboot, unable to connect. Therefore impossible to load a new version. I don't think it's material problem because the phone recharge well with a cable to the socket.
Is there another handling or debug decision to restart the phone? I'm in France for information.
thank you in advance if you can point me to a solution !
Hope someone can help me.
Manu
Can the phone boot to miui recovery? If so, you should be able to use miui recovery to flash TWRP (I think you will need one with a signed install zip). You only need to take out the external SD, put it in one of those cheap USB card readers, copy your recovery and ROM to the SD, put it back in the phone, flash TWRP with miui recovery, and then flash the ROM with TWRP (I am assuming that miui recovery can install things from the external SD - if not, then none of this will work).
Hi Bro,
Yes it boot in MIUI recovery but impossible to get access to the SD Card...
I tried to put the file on the SD card but you can't choose the path, I think the recovery will look only in the internal memory ... And as I can't access the internal memory..
I despair !!
Thanks o lot for your help

Ok - but have you tried the Mediatek SP Flash Tool?
Of course yes but the real problem is that the phone is not recognized by the PC and therefore can't load anything ...
Even changing drivers or cables or PC, nothing to do.

So, when the battery is removed, and you connect the USB cable, the phone is not even vibrating (and making that weird sound) every couple of seconds or so?
Yes you're right : every 10s the phone vibrate...

Well, then it is very strange that you can't use the SP Flash Tool. If the phone vibrates, then the device is recognised, and you should be able to flash anything you want with the SP Flash Tool! How exactly were you trying to use the Flash Tool?
I tried so many solutions I really don't know exactly how I used the software.
I will again try everything.
But against any changes when I look in the USB settings of the PC, the phone doesn't appear.
I try again just now, thank you for your help.

With the SP Flash Tool, all you need is the correct "scatter" file (MT6795_Android_scatter.txt), and the image(s) that you want to flash. If the phone is vibrating, then the SP Flash Tool should be able to connect to it when you click "Download". Just make sure that you first untick everything that you do NOT want to flash. I would try flashing the boot image (boot.img) first. If that succeeds, then try the TWRP recovery image.
Ok. I'm going to try again with "http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=196175&highlight=sp%2Btool%2Bflash%2Bredmi%2Bnote%2B2"

Strange! I am assuming that when you connect the phone with the USB cable, the battery has been removed from the phone? If so, then it should work.
Perhaps you should try first connecting the phone, and then waiting until it has vibrated once or twice, before clicking the "Download" button?
Yes I removed battery before connect the phone to PC. I tried also with battery and nothing changed.
I even changed the cable to be sure.
Which seems to me most strange is that I see nothing in the device manager, as if the phone wasn't connected. Whatever the installed driver is the same result. I think it should at least have the phone on the COM or USB port ...
I will try again this night to be sure with all steps one by one. And I will also try with ACER tablet I and runs Android 5.1. Maybe it will be recognized.
Otherwise I also tried to pass a Linux PC as a last resort.
Thanks again for your help.

Yes, it should. The fact that the phone vibrates when connected indicates that the PC and phone are communicating - but it may well be that a low-level driver in the phone has been overwritten (which may mean that this is a lost cause). A final idea - can miui recovery access usbotg?
Hum good question. In fact I don't know. I'll ask the MIUI forum.
I got home late from work so I don't do tests tonight, I'd see it all tomorrow including the connection with my tablet ...
Thanks

I tried also with a Linux PC (Debian) and if I can see a Samsung A3 phone dirrectly, no way for my Redmi Note 2...
There really I despair : I think I can't access any of the phone. Can't do anything !
If you have any other solution but you help me a lot already, and thanks for that.
Can be a micro crack on the USB plug into the phone if it's not a software problem ... Let's go for it apart and look at this ...

I don't think it is a crack on the USB plug. It seems to me to be a low-level driver problem - ie, the drivers on the phone that are active when the phone is not (fully) booted up. I don't have the right terminology for these drivers, but they are possibly part of the bootloader. If that is the problem, then I don't know how you would solve this problem.

No. You should install the drivers then your phone should be recognised, follow the root guide in this forum.

tbh the drivers are very temperamental, as I have windows 10 I had to restart the Pc disabling the driver enforcement. I had the same issue as yourself but I uninstalled and reinstalled and fiddled around a bit to get the drivers to work.
Now they are installed with no issues.
I actually used the "SP_Driver_v2.0" .. found HERE
I have also noted that another driver (Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00.zip) is HERE but I think I had issues with that driver (dont know why)
The SP_Driver_v2.0 worked for me .. hope you get it sorted, i know how frustrating it is ;0)
Technically you can perfectly root without PC. But you need to have a custom recovery on your phone. To get the custom recovery, you need to flash it, using a PC.
But once you have the recovery, rooting does not require a PC, just the su binary.
If windows isn't recognizing your device at all, it might be a bad USB cable? I had issues with windows - ended up using linux.
i used SP_Driver_v.2.0 but doesn't work for me for preload, i connect my device and in device managment it is with triangle and it disconnects after 2~3 seconds and goes in offline charging. is there any preload driver for win 10 64 bit that actually works?
Same problem with my P9000.
Unable to get SPFT to see my device.
Tried hours, disabling driver signature, secure boot, many different drivers and SPFT versions.
It's frustrating. Can't update OTA to 20160810 version, FOTA installed firmware from july and tells me it's up to date.
Can i install newest firmware without PC and no custom recovery from device storage?

Samsung A8 not being detected in download mode

I've been attempting to recover my samsung galaxy A8 from a brick, by flashing the original firmware for 3 days. I successfully got TWRP flashed, and couldn't connect to the phone using MTP, so I ended up using an SD card to transfer the firmware zip. Long story short, I tried to treble it, and it completely bricked, leaving me without TWRP, or anything to boot.
I've put it in download mode, swapped through 10 different USB C cables, and still can't get my PC to recognize it. I've tried two computers, one running arch linux, and the other one through windows 10 and arch linux. Nothing. Whenever I run "lsusb" I can't see the phone. I also can't see it in device manager.
