Unlock bootloader (asus zenfone max pro m1)

[MrT10001]

@MadDino I have used Windows 11 to unlock the bootloader and install UT my ASUS devices. It is not the easiest phone to install UT onto. The build number won't make a difference unlocking the bootloader, but when you unlock the bootloader use this (quote from devices page):

"The port is based on Android 9 firmware (WW-16.2017.2004.063) and Lineage 16 vendor image. Current Recovery will be replaced with Ubports Recovery!"

I think you are experiencing difficulties with the ASUS drivers. On Windows uninstall the drivers, reboot the PC, install the drivers and try again. If that fails try disabling driver signing which is a bit of a messy workaround. I found that one of the Windows updates messed with the drivers and uninstalling them and reinstalling solved it.

@MrT10001 i tried all that too

it is still does not go further than this.

sometimes it stays in fastboot mode when i run the script and sometimes it leaves the fastboot mode with this laconic message "press any key to shut down".
if not that then it leaves fastboot mode as soon as i connect it with the pc.

NO FURTHER PROGRESS

@MadDino Put the unzipped folder on your desktop. Attach the phone to the PC in fastboot mode. Open a terminal in the unlock folder. Run the command ./unlock.cmd. Note the ./ in front of the command.

@MrT10001 The screenshot which i have attached was from windows. why do I need to use ./ when using windows for this!!?

[MrT10001]

@MadDino it elevates the command. I have had to use it installing UT on other devices.

@MrT10001 when using windows to unlock the bootloader?
Am I understanding it correctly? I should use ./ In windows when I unlock the bootloader?
