Hi All,
on Mac, using parallel to have windows 11 (cannot have lower windoms as Mac M1 chip)
Windows 11 recognises the phone but not the bootloader… seem to me that I tried ALL the drivers available online and every ways to install it…
still the bootloader is not recognised with the exclamation points on the phone in the device manager.
I cannot comment on the Mac angle, but did you run Windows update while the device is connected by USB cable in bootloader mode – also in Recovery mode ? – or does the Mac preclude this option?
thanks aibd,
phone in Fairphone 4
windows update does not show anything, even in optional update,
tried the recovery mode and update the driver while in recovery … no change
If so, then try this:
Right click → Update driver → Browse my computer for drivers → Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer → Android Device → Android Bootloader Interface → next → yes
This is really important. Windows needs an extra driver for fastboot (aka bootloader) mode, so the phone really has to be connected while being in fastboot mode.
Windows 11 itself shouldn’t be the problem, I’m using it myself and ADB as well as fastboot are working just fine.
And if the phone is recognised in general on the Windows side, USB passthrough in the virtual machine seems not to be the problem either, or are there settings or permissions or anything for USB in Parallels?
