Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
Use the Latest Google ADB Fastboot Binaries
Using old, outdated, or third-party ADB Tools is one of the most common reasons for this error. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you only install the latest Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one.
The Basic Fix
First off, disconnect your device from your PC. Then reboot it to the Fastboot Mode, either via the hardware key combinations or using the adb reboot bootloader command. Once the device boots to Fastboot, re-connect it to the PC via USB cable. Now try executing the command inside the CMD window that you have opened in the platform-tools folder. See if it is able to fix the FAILED (remote: Check device console) error.
Use Official USB cable | USB 2.0 Port
The Check device console error message means that your device isn’t been recognized by your PC. One major reason for the same is that you are using the ‘incorrect’ USB cable. By incorrect, we mean that you might be using an unofficial USB that didn’t with your device. These standalone USB cables only support charging and MTP and are not designed for the execution of ADB and Fastboot Commands.
Therefore, it is advised that you only use the cables that came shipped with your device or any other Android device. Along the same lines, it is highly recommended that you use the USB 2.0 Port on your PC or laptop. USB 3.0, though provide higher speed, is known to conflicts with these commands. Try out these tweaks and then see if it fixes the FAILED (remote: Check device console) error.
Manually Install Android USB Drivers
In some instances, even if you use the correct USB cable, your device might not be recognized by your PC in ADB or Fastboot Mode. The reason? Well, it is due to the missing drivers on your PC. While most Android devices automatically install the USB drivers as soon as you connect them to the PC via USB cable, however, sometimes that might not be the case.
So you would then have to manually install these such drivers, namely android_winusb.inf and Android Bootloader Interface Drivers. Refer to our comprehensive guides on both these drivers for the download links as well as the installation steps:
