I'm trying to flash TWRP, i've got ADB and i've got the Universal ADB Drivers. The device is properly detected when in EUI and my Device ID is displayed correctly when I type 'adb devices', however when I reboot into fastboot and type 'fastboot devices', nothing is listed and cannot continue.
Which drivers do I use? What is it that I need to continue?
Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind, connected it into my linux machine and got it to work easier (lol winBLOWS amirite) and finally got it to recognize the device in fastboot mode. I kept rebooting and failing to get into TWRP. I found somewhere else that before doing 'fastboot reboot' that you should hold VOL UP so you can immediately boot into twrp and make it permanent, which ended up working for me. Freedom!

I believe you need to configure in the developers options that you don't want to have the recovery overwritten on reboot. What also seems to work is to boot into the TWRP from the command line via 'fastboot boot <recovery-file-name>'
I have the exact same problem. I have installed all drivers and adb, but as soon as i am into fastboot and my device doesnt show up in the command line. If i want to install the recovery the command line just says <waiting for device> and nothing happend.
I already enabled the "Enable AT Port" Settings (http://forum.le.com/in/index.php?threads/le-max-2-x820-qpst-not-working.14820/) but i think this is not permanent turned on on my phone, because i have to repeat this step after every reboot.
Anybody got some tips?
Edit: Also booting directly into TWRP doesnt work, 'fastboot boot <recovery-file-name>' just ends up in <waiting for device>..
If you're using Win 8 or Win 10 you should turn off the driver singing verification before installing usb drivers for device.
In your case one of the drivers was blocked from installing and the systom does not see the device after it switches in fastboot/recovery mode.

Thanks for this Hint! Didnt know this
Nevertheless, no improvement so far. I Unistalled every driver and installed them again, but the PC doesnt recognize the phone when its in fastboot mode

There is a chance, that your computer has installed the WRONG driver for the fastboot mode, so find any related to the phone entries in Device Manager when the phone is connected in fastboot mode, and if it is not "Android Phone/Android ADB Interface" -> remove them with remove driver checkbox checked. Optionally, if nothing changes -> try to manually pick the device driver to Android ADB Interface

I tried it now with the fifth computer and after a few strange error messages, it "succesfully" installed TWRP.
BUT: There is no TWRP installed on my phone. I followed every tip which i found how to exit the fastboot mode (pressing Vol+ & Power / Removing USB Cable / Tried TeamSpains Automatic Installer).
What is wrong with this phone ? - I think i will oben a new thread, thanks for your help!

Kampfgans: Klingt irgendwo zwischen lustig und richtig bedrohlich...
Lots of ROMs (including most CM variants) like to "automatically 'recover'" recoveries, that is they overwrite the recovery partition with a copy of the "original" every time you reboot.
I seem to remember that my first attempt to overwrite the stock recovery using "fastboot flash recovery <twrp-image-name>" also didn't succeed in making TWRP "stick".
Within the CM13 which I installed next (over the stock v15) there is a developer option to control that, but in this case I simply used a trick, which seems to bypass the recovery overwrite: I told the phone to boot the TWRP recovery over USB after flashing.
It went like this:
fastboot flash recovery <name-and-path-of-TWRP-recovery> //puts the TWRP image on the recovery partition
fastboot boot <name-and-path-of-TWRP-recovery> //bypasses the recovery overwrite logic of either the bootloader or whereever it hides
That booted TWRP over USB and allowed me to install CM13.
There I disabled recovery overwrite in the deveoper's options and I've never had issues with TWRP disappearing since.
Actually you should in theory be able to leave the stock recovery in place and still use TWRP by booting it over USB on the fastboot command line.
I install drivers and USB but when trying to go to fast boot I receive "waiting for device"

Here is what I stand.
I have soft bricked my TF201 and I am trying to restore it using ADB per the recovery thread.
I am stuck in CWM recovery boot loop.
When I entered bootloop USB Debugging was not enabled and I dont have a computer that had/has the TF201 drivers previously installed.
Computer system is Windows Vista.
When the USB plugs into the computer it is recognized as "Transformer".
I have downloaded the drivers from the Asus site, from ADB repositories, and from other sites proportedly hosting drivers that work. None of those drivers have worked when attempting to manually install them (Device Manager > Update Driver Software).
How can I install drivers to get ADB to recognize my device if I cannot enable USB Debugging?
First i would install the recovery using fastboot again. Download drivers (link) and install it, download new cwm touch recovery (link), Restart your prime by holding the volume down button, wait, then press down to switch to the usb symbol, then press volume up. Now you are in fastboot mode. Enter the following command at the terminal or command prompt window : fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery (path to cwm recovery img)
Thanks, Ive got USB working and was able to flash to CWM Touch Recovery.
Now when I try to push (adb push update.zip /sdcard/) I keep getting: Protocol Failure
This happens every 3rd or 4th time I try to push. The rest of the time I get a daemon failure.
Any suggestions on how to push a ROM so I can install it? (I dont have one on the internal SDCARD any longer)
Okay, so basically I am a HUGE idiot. My phone has been running the latest version of ParanoidAndroid and I decided that I wanted to try MIUI. I booted into TWRP v2.6.3 and wiped everything a couple of times before installing it, and I forgot to install the boot.img afterwards (it was s-on). So now everytime I turn the phone on, it is just always on the boot animation for an eternity, and my computer won't recognize my phone so I can't use fastboot or use an RUU. I am also unable to flash PH98IMG from the phone itself. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you very much in advance.

Take out the battery, put it back together, power on the phone while holding down the volume down key til you get the splash screen, that'll boot you to the bootloader...
No I understand that, but there's nothing I can do from the bootloader. Once I get there, I can either go to TWRP or choose Fastboot. When I choose fastboot, it will say Fastboot USB after connecting to my PC but it will still not show up or be recognized (and I have the drivers). My only other options are Recovery (TWRP), factory reset (also TWRP), clear storage, simlock, and image crc. All I need to do is load the boot.img file, but it appears to me I have no way of doing that now.

Being seen in fastboot has nothing to do with the ROM at all, you need to troubleshoot this from the PC end. When you start fastboot on the phone and connect to your PC you get nothing? Not even a connect sound?

I do get the connect and disconnect sounds. Whenever it makes the connect sound, it doesn't show up under "Devices with Removable Storage." When I heard the connect sound the first time I went to the cmd prompt and typed "fastboot devices" but it showed nothing.

It won't show up as a drive at all in Fastboot mode, to see if it is connected properly go to Device Manager and look for ADB Interface -> My HTC, if it isn't there then your drivers are not installed properly. Drivers come from HTC Sync, which can be downloaded here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/content.aspx?id=6196 once installed and the connections in Fastboot and ADB verified to be working, HTC Sync can be uninstalled (the drivers will stay).
When you run "fastboot devices" you get nothing? Or do you get something like "< waiting for device >" or literally nothing?
What version of Windows are you running, you need to be on Windows 7 or older? Running under Windows 8 is not recommended.

Ah, that may be my problem then, as I am on a Windows 8 computer. I will try all of this on a friends W7 computer in the next few hours and report back with the results. And when I did fastboot devices it literally said nothing and was ready for another command. Thanks for the help!

You can also use a live Linux CD like Ubuntu and boot that and install the Linux version of ADB, it works fine.
After 2-3 hours of work I finally managed to unlock my Honor5x, but my phone seems to **** up on these few steps of the xda guide:
Step 9
Boot back into the bootloader by typing the following
"adb reboot bootloader"
Step 10
Flash the recovery with the following command:
"fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img"
Step 11
Once it finishes type the following
"fastboot reboot"
My phone gets recognized by adb generally, but whenever I use the command adb reboot bootloader, immediately after my phone doesn't get recognized by fastboot, so the following steps don't work. The phone is in bootloader mode however, and it DOES say that it's unlocked.
Things I've tried:
Using different USB ports
Using different USB s
Unplugging and replugging while my phone is in fastboot
Installing TWRP from the TWRP manager app (It gives me an error with every single version that's available. The error message is "Something went wrong. Flashing recovery was unsuccessful. Either you already have this recovery installed or another error has occured. Would you like to attempt rebooting to recovery now?" Pressing the button reboot now doesn't do anything.
Re-enabled developer mode and made sure that usb debug and oem unlock are both enabled.
Computer is: Win 10 64 bit
Wtf do I do?

Install the Huawei fastboot drivers
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
I have HiSuite, which seems to be the USB drivers for huawei, but are you talking about the ones from team android? I can't post the link because this is a new account.
OEM unlocking and USB Debugging enabled.
ADB never finds the phone in my windows 10 install no matter what drivers I force it to use. - Tried USB 2 and 3.
Fastboot does find it if I manually start it in fastboot mode, but it can't do anything to it
Fails to write when doing oem unlock
Just sits there if I tell it to write the recovery image.
Phone functions fine, I just want root and a 3rd party rom to be rid of any built in spyware.
Any ideas? any way to root it without flashing then I can just have the twrp app flash it?
Nevermind, found a way around it. This dialpad command made it work

Hope this will help someone with trouble getting ADB/Fastboot to work. I assume you have a similar environment to me: Windows 10, with working ADB drivers on another device (LG G4 in my case)
Set up LeMax2 in developer mode and enable USB debugging as usual.
Plug in usb and dial *#*#76937#*#* check the box that says "Enable AT Port"
The device should immediately give you the approval message for USB debugging.
Note: This will not stick after a reboot.
Once I had this working, I did an adb reboot recovery, but fastboot still did not work. With the device connected and at the stock recovery screen, I had to open device manager, delete the LeMax device, and allow it to detect again. Finally it appeared in fastboot devices and I was able to flash recovery.

I'm running into issues with my Compact X. Current situation:
- Omni 8.1 rom installed, but doesn't boot. Stuck on Sony logo.
- TRWP 3.3
- Rooted
- When in fastboot mode (vol up + connect usb cable) the device manager shows: Android Device > Sony Fastboot Interface.
- Windows 10 running in "Test mode"
- adb & fastboot v1.4.3
ADB does not recognize my device when the device is in fastboot mode. When it's in recovery mode the command 'adb devices' shows me the device listed. I can then reboot in fastboot mode, but then the device isn't listed anymore. I'm not sure what happened because a couple of hours ago I installed TWRP using fastboot.
I'm trying to get this thing up and running again, but not being able to flash anything via fastboot complicates things. Any idea's what could be the culprit?
Download official Android drivers by Google and force Install them (search: Force Install Windows drivers" anywhere preferably YouTube

Thank you for your reply. As far as I know the official drivers were already installed. Because at first my device did show up listed when using the command 'adb devices' and I successfully flashed TWRP recovery. But to be sure I repeated the process:
- Connected my phone in fastboot mode (vol up + connect usb cable). The blue led lights up.
- Go to the device manager, right click on 'Android ADB interface' device and manually install the driver via 'Have disk'.
- The driver installs with no errors.
But still my phone is not listed and I cannot flash anything.
When the phone is in recovery mode it is listed using the 'adb devices' command. But when I'm trying to flash something I get the message <waiting for device> .
Ok, I restored my computer to a point before I started messing with my phone. After installing the official drivers my phone is still not listed (adb devices), but this time flashing did work. I managed to flash the AOSP 8.1 image. My phone is up and running again!
