Well it's really hard to say what's wrong in this case because I've never encountered such a problem.
Your USB and Fastboot drivers are fine since your PC detects your phone, so I really don't know what's wrong in this case.
Maybe try to turn the phone back on, disable then re-enable OEM unlocking, and retry to unlock the phone.
In case the files are faulty (which might be the case), here's a guide with (apparently) working files. This outside of XDA though : https://romprovider.com/gionee-s10-lite-root/
Hope that help

Thanks for the screenshots, I took a look at them.
So first of all make a little test:
- enable OEM Unlock
- reboot to fastboot mode
- when you're in fastboot, reboot to system and check if the OEM Unlock option in dev settings is still enable.
If it is it's very confusing, if it's not you might wanna look on the web why your device does that.
Also try to don't touch your phone while rebooting to fastboot, by that I mean once you enable OEM Unlock on dev setting:
- plug your phone to your computer
- see if OEM unlocking is still enabled, maybe connecting to a PC makes it disappear (if it disappeared re-enable it)
- now check if adb and fastboot recognize your device (command: adb devices, fastboot devices)
- If they are recognized enter the command "adb reboot bootloader"
- Now check if fastboot recognizes your device
- if it does enter "fastboot oem unlock"
- see if it works
If despite all of this you can't solve this issue, I would be able to help you any further, hope this works!
PS: you seem pretty new to xda so please take time to read the rules, and press the thank button each time someone helps you (or give you any guidance). Have a good one

Hi there, just one last thing.
Maybe try to uninstall and reinstall USB drivers and change the USB cable. It's very unlikely they're the problem, but maybe, we never know.
Good luck

Use kryton_toolkitDemo mtk universal by Romadd.com to unlock the bootloader or try using miracle box v2.82 use custom settings and choose model make sure you tick it boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect... U can also use da file method...if u need let me know but first try the first 1.

of course, it goes into bootloader but my PC can't recognize anything. So I can't flash anything. USB Debugging is disabled. If there was a way to force connect that would be great

You don't need USB debugging to use fastboot when your phone is booted into bootloader. What you need there is a fastboot tool and drivers. I'm using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
and if it doesn't install correct drivers for you, you can get them here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
first thing to do is check what fastboot returns after this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it shows your device ID you're good to go
I'd suggest downloading stock firmware first and flashing it before messing with custom recovery. Just remember Motorola often updates bootloader with new firmware so don't flash anything older than you had on your phone before.
Good luck
EDIT: you can also use RSD Lite to flash a new software, it basically automates fastbooting proccess, so theres no risk of misspelling or doing other stuff wrong
EDIT2: firmware is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639
also, the OP (lost101) is a great, helpful guy who may give you some advice if you need
Thanks I'll give them a try

So, what do we lose in this process? Granted it's been reported that the camera is working without the need for a DRM fix, but do we lose other things like video and sound enchantment options?

Absolutely yes
From the use I note that the recovery doesn't read the internal data, but only the sd card. I still don't understand if it's the firmware that has bugs or the twrp that still isn't calibrated for Adroid Pie.
Edit: I found in the XDA site the recovery for the new firmwre and everything works fine here

Sorry, but the requirement is always with unlocked bootloader?Thanks
Wait... I'm confused. I need an unlocked bootloader for this correct? Also, am I missing a step? I can't seem to unlock the bootloader. I have the key from Sony, but whenever I turn off the phone and try to enter bootloader mode (volume up + usb charger), the notification light turns blue, and that's it. Nothing appears on my screen, if I type fastboot devices, no devices appear as listed. And if I try to run the line of code, I'm just stuck "waiting for device" and nothing happens? Am I being stupid and missing something? Don't remember having this many issues with my htc m9.

Are your drivers properly installed reason I am asking is you're not getting a return when you type in fastboot devices, go back to you developer setting, revoke your debugging , then reinstall your drivers turn on USB debugging and see what happens?

Hmm, I think I know why it wasn't working? I got the xperia xz1 drivers off of the sony developer website, and I went to device manager and tried to do the legacy driver install, but I keep getting "This device cannot start (code 10)" Maybe that's the issue? And if so, am I installing it wrong or something?

I was under the impression that flash tool is used to get the latest version of the pi (which I already have as the update rolled out a few days ago)? Not for unlocking the bootloader? As for my bootloader, I'm stuck on that step. I'm following sony's steps on unlocking the bootloader, however, I'm stuck on the fastboot as my device isn't recognized. I guess I'll try again from the top, uninstall all the current drivers and reinstall them again.
I also want to add, whenever I plug my phone in into bootloader mode, the pc does recognize that a device is connected as the notification pops up, but again, "fastboot devices" returns nothing. Is there supposed to be a screen for the bootloader? Or is it just a black screen with the blue led?

Once you get your driver's fixed, just follow the directions given by Sony.. Your phone screen will remain black as all info will be done on your computer..

Absolutely no, flashtool doesn't need to unlock the bootloader, rather serves to re-lock it in some xperia devices. To unlock it you have to use cmd commands in adb & fastboot, but you can find it here in the XZ1 section.
The cell screen remains black and a blue led appears if you connect in fastboot mode, if you connect in flash mode the screen remains black, but a green LED appears.
if you have problems with the recognition of the device on your PC I can link my guide, it's in italian but if you use google translator you understand it well here

[Q] can someone provide me a guide how to unlock bootloader. i got some problem here

i tried to do it my self. follow an instruction from a official website and other
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to...-plus-i3213-i4213-i4293-i3223/#Pre-Requisites
which i got stuck at, when i boot into bootloader mode . the phone seem to restart and appear only black screen with blue indicator.
then i tried to check if it still connect to adb or not, with {adb devices} its not listed there
PS.
-the drivers work fine
-my Xperia 10 plus model is I4293
The LED is all you get. The screen stays black for fastboot and flash modes. Not sure why adb devices isn't working.

one thing weird
i using a Xperia Tool (Xperia Companion) and it display the text that my phone need to unlock the screen or allow to use data tranfer
which i already check a USB debugging to be on, and every time i connect it to my PC, it still ask me a permission to be allow or not
maybe this is a problem here ?
It cant be listed in ADB if the android isnt running.
Blue LED means fastboot mode. So to check if the device is in that mode you do "fastboot devices".
Once the LED is blue you can unlock the bootloader with the command "fastboot oem unlock 0x<insert your unlock code>".

Yes, I am using Windows 10, but let me clarify my understanding first.
From what you said, I need to manually install the ADB driver by Device Manager > Portable Devices > Xperia 10 Plus > Browse my com... And that driver, I should get it from Sony site, but I only see Xperia 1, 5 and 8, not 10 nor 10 Plus.
However, I could see my phone by using command adb devices through minimal ADB and Fastboot. Does this imply that the driver is installed already?

Adb and fastboot are not the same thing so you have to get fastboot driver.
I have no clue where this driver is as I use Linux only which includes the driver by default.

I was using windows 10. From what I can remember, my problem is that I didn't install driver correctly (I'm not sure which one). I am not really sure if this fastboot driver the one I used. I saw my device in Device Manager, but I got waiting on device... just like you. So what I have done was locate my device in Device Manager and install the sony driver over that device. If sony's driver was not the correct one, then it was another driver that I can't remember, but the instruction still the same. Sorry for an unclear message, but I can barely remember anything now.

How to unbrick Zenfone 7 if stuck in fastboot with no recovery (locked oem)

Hey everyone. Today I've finally unbricked my Zenfone 7 after my dumbass locked the oem with fastboot since I've already rooted my phone and didn't want to use adb anymore (I was getting tired of the warranty voided message at boot too). Right after locking the oem, the phone booted and displayed a message that says: " Your device is corrupted. It cannot be trusted and won't boot". You already could tell I was scared as hell, so all I did the past hours was to look around until I found this solution!
Have in mind I'm not an expert or a developer, I'm only hoping you find this thread if you ever find yourself locked in fastboot with no access to recovery, oem, adb or usb debugging, just fastboot commands.
Having said that, you need to flash the raw firmware for your device. For the Zenfone 7 the one you need is "WW__ZS670KS_29.14.53.5_MR1.3_20201111_release-user.raw".
You also need:
- Android sdk and platform tools (minimal adb works too but I recommend original google software)
- Usb asus drivers
- Usb google drivers (installable from android studio just like sdk and platform tools)
Turn on your device on fastboot and connect it to your pc, then open cmd or powershell on your platform-tools folder and execute
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if your zenfone is detected. Close the command prompt.
Now, on the raw rom folder open flashall_AFT.cmd as administrator, then it should start flashing all of the stock firmware files. Once the prompt closes itself, reboot your phone using volume keys and power button to select.
In my case, right after booting, the phone displayed a message that said "your phone is corrupted" but with a wipe data option this time around. Choose wipe data/factory reset (all your data will be gone).
There you go! The phone should reboot into stock clean rom now.

How strange, you shouldn't need OEM unlock to flash the raw rom. Hope you get through it... meanwhile I'll let you know if I find a possible solution

First you have to access developer mode. You have to tap several times on the build number. (Settings/about the phone) In developer mode you heve to enable oem unlocking and usb debugging. Wait for permission request on the phone for access of your PC when attached to the phone.
Next step is to unlock the bootloader.
After this you will be able to install TWRP, which finally gets you to the point where you can install a new ROM. Just follow step by step:
Install LineageOS on a5y17lte | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
Of course, instead of Lineage, you can use any suitable ROM

Thank you for replying but as I said above i cannot unlock bootloader in any way i tried. So maybe can u find another solution? (Note: i tried following the link u send me and its not working)
How far did you get? OEM unlocking and usb debugging successful?
When putting your phone in fastboot mode and attaching it to the pc, check with "adb devices", if your phone is properly recognised. Using windows, it´s often the drivers. On my system, I had to manually select the ADB driver, since I got no connection before.

thanks for replying again
i tried to oem unlocking and usb debugging but unsucessful
furthermore my pc cant even recognise my phone when i turn on usb debugging or change the usb to media transfer protocol (mtp) mode after i flash stock firmware (it worked before i flash the firmware)
how am i gonna install anything if my pc cant even recognise my phone????
(ps: your question "how far did you get" my answer is i cant flash any mods or unlock anything. bootloader locked.)
Can you see the "developer options" in settings/system when scrolling down ? If not, then:
How to access developer options in Android
Step 1: Go to Settings > About Phone.
Step 2: Tap Software Info > Build Number.
Step 3: Tap Build Number seven times. ...
Step 4: Once developer options are activated, you will see a message that reads, You are now a developer.
Within developer options there are options to enable usb debugging and oem unlock. I recently did this on a Galaxy tab and saw..nothing.
First I had to establish a network connection to my wifi base. Weird, but this brought those wanted menu items...
For further connection, check your computer drivers. Both the manufacturers usb drivers and adb driver are necessary. While connected to a PC, check, if you´re on Windows, the device manager, if the proper driver is chosen.

I see the developer options and the usb debugging switch
But there are 2 problems
1. My pc running windows 10 cannot detect my device (like showing it as a disk so i can copy files to )
2. In developer setting there is no OEM unlock option, which is weird. I triee many solutions but cannot get acess to OEM unlock. I even tried to unlock it with ADB ut its useless since my phone cant even access fastboot mode.(download mode is considered to be fastboot but ADB wont recognise my phone)

heimdall finally recognise my phone but whenever i try to flash twrp.img it says
"Only official binaries are allowed to be flashed(RECOVERY)" (the phone itself) HELP!!!!
*good karma +1*
On any other device, you would have enjoyed your new TWRP since several days. But Samsung is eager to build as many hurdles as possible, to prevent changing the original software. They invented "KnoxGuard" to "protect" the phone. In your case, it´s aprotection against it´s owner
The error message means, that your phone isn´t successfully unlocked.
Try this:
"FIXED IT!!
The time trick actually worked.
All I had to do was turn back the time by like a year, reboot, enter recovery mode, delete cache, re-enable OEM unlock, spam the update phone button, and boot into download mode!"
