Asus Zenfone 3 Max (ZC520TL) Screen "freezing" when attempting to run on fastboot mode

[androydgba]

I've been trying to run my phone on fastboot mode so as to unlock bootloader, since the Asus UnlockTool is not really working, so i'm trying alternative methods. Upon trying to boot it on fastboot mode, it just gets stuck on the normal ASUS boot screen with the text ontop.. 
I have searched through all of the internet and all videos / forums / blogs explain how to EXIT the bootload mode. It was helpful at first as i got really nervous on why it wasn't loading, but now i really just need to find a way to make it run on fastboot. Is there any way i can get around it, or, if possible, another way to unlock bootloader? (since it's why i'm trying to load on fastboot mode in the first place)

I'm not really into Android stuff and i just use it for daily things, although this is an exception.



(#1: output after selecting "fastboot mode")



(#2: ASUS UnlockTool "Failed at unlocking your device. Try again later". Sorry if this wasn't included on the title, but it had reached max text cap/ )
