Root need help using adb

Trying to unlock my bootloader. I've got ADB installed and running. But every time I type any command it gets stuck on < waiting on device> . I'm guessing its a driver issue ? I've installed every driver I could find but that didn't help. USB debugging is enabled, fast boot is off, and I booted my phone into bootloader (Huawei logo w/ bootloader locked in blue lettering). I tried all four of my usb ports on my CPU as well. My computer is a little outdated. Could it be because my ports are not 2.0 ? I had a similar problem using ODIN for my Admire. Tried numerous times to install CWM w my desktop to no avail. But when I tried on a friends brand new laptop it worked the first time. Sorry for the long speech but ADB is totally new to me. Any help is greatly appreciated as I really want a custom recovery im n preparation for all the ROMS hopefully coming in the near future.
 
First - Huawei Download Suite Including Drivers

Second, just turn the phone on. Don't boot into recovery or download or any special mode.

Third, try

adb devices

That should return the serial number of your phone. (You'll have to be in a command window, in the directory in which adb is installed.) If it does, adb is communicating with your phone.
 
I'll give it a shot. If it is communicating then can I just type in fastboot OEM unlock + my code to unlock the bootloader? Also one thing I forgot to mention, when I open the command window a screen pops up saying something about needing motoandroid.sys from a disk. I have no clue what that is and just hit the cancel button to close it.
 
No go. Adb recocognizes my phone but still hangs on <waiting for device> when I type the command to unlock bootloader. I'm almost positive its because I'm using less than a 2.0 USB port. I just don't have any on my CPU. Think its time to upgrade lol.
