Nexus 6P not showing in Device Manager in Recovery Mode



Hi guys.

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong section. If it is I'd appreciate if the moderators could move it to the correct place. Also apologies for the essay of a post.

Now, I recently purchased a Nexus 6P, which I think is an absolutely brilliant device. Despite this I would like to mess around with it behind the scenes (root, different ROMs etc). Firstly I'd like to edit build.prop.

As such as I have installed the Android SDK, installed the relevant things needed such as the USB drivers and platform tools. I've enabled USB debugging in the Developer Settings and ADB works fine when the phone is in normal mode. Booting in to fastboot mode also works.

Unfortunately, when I enter Recovery mode the phone disappears from ADB devices and from Device Manager on Windows. Strangely selecting the sideload option means the device shows up in both places, but I can't use the commands I want.

I've tried various official drivers, unofficial drivers and even edited the official drivers to add my hardware ID with no luck. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm somewhat new to modern Android so I may be missing something obvious.

Cheers for any help in advance!
