Help! I am trying to root. I have been Reading and Pressing Power button and Volume down for two days now and still can't get into fastboot mode. I am not an expert, but I rooted my previous M8's without issue.
I am using an an ATT version, android 5.02, with no SIM card installed (has been unlocked from ATT network). I still have not been able to get bootloader unlocked.
I can get to the recovery screen (power-volume down-power) , but when I boot to bootloader, it goes black and I have to manual restart.
Pressing Volume down/power together does nothing.
The best response I get is with Windroid Universal android kit.
When I click unlock bootloader and select the unlock code, it tells me it is flashing, then it says it is rebooting and re-enable USB debugging when rebooted, and phone powers down, but never powers back, I have to manual restart. When I do the manual restart, USB has not been disabled, so I don't think it is being unlocked.
Basically the same things happen when I try to flash TWRP and SUPERSU. If I recall correctly, the phone needs to be in Fastboot mode for this to work. Can anyone tell me if I am forgetting something or doing something wrong or otherwise give me any suggestions?
