Phone not recognized in bootloader

/e/OS version 3.4-a15-20260114569178-official-fp

Computer OS is Windows 11, latest version.

I sincerely doubt it’s the cord, as it can do file transfers and recognizes the phone outside of bootloader.
I’m trying to unlock the bootloader, however whenever I enter the bootloader it stops recognizing the phone in the command prompt. I’ve tried reinstalling my drivers, switching computers and ports but nothing has worked so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello @hhhellllpmee, Welcome to the /e/ users forum.

adb commands only works in normal mode and in recovery mode,
in bootloader mode you must use fastboot commands…
