I have done what u linked to
and
But i get stock on waiting for devices
When i can ./adb devices and see the phone i assume that i have connection and its not a cabel or driver issue
i dont have any unkown devices in device manager
Hi Bricked,
as I can see from your screenshots you are using Powershell to execute the commands. Please open a CMD shell to execute the commands. For most applications it makes no difference, but some only work correctly with CMD.

well you dont need adb but fastboot, thus did you follow what I linked to update fastboot driver?

from your images you’re not in fastboot mode. >fastboot devices
returns nothing. You seem instead to be in recovery (in which > adb devices
works).
so try > adb reboot bootloader
and then, without touching the phone, > fastboot devices
. You should get something in return.

What do you mean by “say”?
The green “start” is default in fastboot mode. Once you see that, the phone is in the correct state for the fastboot commands on the PC.
