Razer Phone rooting issue

[Rallenhayestime]

I'm gonna cut straight to the chase here. I'm trying to root my razer phone and have successfully unlocked the bootloader. Now I'm trying to root it, but adb can not see the device when it's in download mode, but sees it when it's on. I tried looking up the issue but all I got were people having issues with fastboot not seeing their phones because of missing drivers, I already have the drivers, so that's not the issue probably. pls help

ADB will only see the phone when it is not in download mode. Basically you need to be in recovery or booted up the device to use ADB. 

Fastboot, on the other hand, will only work in download mode and not in recovery or when device is booted up.

Its actually because ADB works only when the phone is booted up.

Once you use the command -

adb reboot bootloader

The device reboots to the bootloader and ADB will not detect the device after this command is passed. Once it reboots to the bootloader, You need to use the command -

fastboot devices

Your device will now be detected. You can then boot recovery images etc...
