I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my Moto G5, the adb commands works, but I can't find my device in the command prompt when it is in fastboot mode.
I was following the instructions on this tutorial, but when running the adb device
command to get my serial number, the PC can't find the device. I checked the USB cable and the connection between the device and the computer and everything is ok.
To enter the fastboot mode I was using the adb reboot bootloader
command on Windows.

adb devices
?? Are you in the Command prompt when you are in Fastboot/Bootloader mode?? Because it will not work. Adb protocol is used within a booted System and Recovery and not within the Bootloader. To communicate with the Bootloader/fastboot mode you need to use the Fastboot protocol. Try throwing this command:fastboot devices
see if that yields any results.
