i am wanting to unlock the bootloader on my Samsung Galaxy A5 2017. The problem that I have encountered is that fastboot doesn't actually detect my device but adb does!

I have tried 'adb devices' and that finds my device but when i try 'fastboot devices' it doesn't appear with anything.

If you have any solutions please tell me!

    So you have booted into fastboot mode, and there fastboot devices did not detect your device? What OS you're on? In case of Windows, the correct drivers are installed? Note that many devices present a different device ID when in fastboot mode.

    According to someone on xda fastboot isn't supported on Samsung and i just need to enable oem unlock in settings :/

    That someone might be right, I vaguely remember heaving heard the same: on Samsung devices, there instead is "Download mode" to communicate with Odin/Heimdall.
