[Q] Can't connect in fastboot - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

In command prompt, I typed "fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version"
And, it stays at <waiting for device>
I'd like to point out that I succeeded at flashing custom ROM last time, but now, it won't connect in fastmode.
I've installed the SDK (obviously)
Added the .inf file from SE site
Installed drivers from Flashtool folder
LED goes blue when connecting.
I've tried different ports, different OS, different PC altogether, but everything ends up with <waiting for device>.
Is the problem on the phone? How can I fix it?

Drivers seem to be fine...
Does your phone really go into fastboot? Blue LED stays on, nothing on the screen. If yes, check drivers once again! Does Windows detect the device?

Yes, the LED is blue, the screen is off.
Windows does make sound when connecting, and it doesn't pop up "new device" wizard.

Hey! Just noticed something.
When uninstall the drivers connect the device, Device Manager says "S1boot fastboot" briefly before going into "SEMC Flash Device"
How can I disable it from going to SEMC Flash Device?
And it happens only when I have drivers uninstalled. Seems they install once I connect the phone. Tried again without uninstalling drivers, and it goes straight to "Flash device"

Then maybe wrong drivers installed?

Maybe:
I've reinstalled the SDK - didn't work
Added .inf file from SE site - didn't work
Installed Flashtool drivers - didn't work
But now, I'm waiting for Lollylost100 to reupload the drivers he once uploaded on Megaupload - I think those ones worked last time (hopefully)
I'll install Debian and try again with new OS, with no installed drivers or whatever...

USB debuging is on?

Just wait a few seconds after connecting you phone in fastboot mode, sometimes computer takes time process.

2 things can be resone for this.first one is u didn't installed your adb drivers well.so it can be easyly fixed if u use xperia mini pro.just download drivers from the link below and unzip it.connect your device on fastboot mode and use device manager to ree update your drivers.when update your drivers,point drivers location to. Unziped fastboot drivers folder.make sure u have pointed x86 or x64 folder inside drivers folder.(x86 for 32bit os,x64 for 64bit os).check the problem is fixed.if not problem depends on second resone.it is u do not have correct fastboot program.(I have personal experience on this).just check the fastboot.zip folder for your device on internet and download it.(this is littlebit difficult but u can)when u download it just ree update your drivers using its drivers folder.when u use command prompt make sure u have opened correct folder from command prompt which contains fastboot.exe.(open fastboot folder write click while holding shift key and click on open command prompt window)then try using it.problem must be fixed.

Installed everything again, on Ubuntu. I've reached the Windows checkpoint: it again says "<waiting for device>".
Could this be a phone-related error?

ok.i got that.another thing i need to know is when u do first step is that the device manager recognized your device,if does,is it updates your device drivers when u point the drivers location to x64 or x86?(when u do that it must show android adb interface drivers installed, when u check device manager)which version of windows u used to do those steps? and tell me your device name and model.i will upload a correct fastboot program for u.just keep your hopes alive....

Sorry for my last post. When searching in some forums, I discovered that I can not unlock the bootloader. It seems that is a definition of the system.
Thank You And sorry. :crying:

Go to Service Mode to see if it can be unlock.

fastboot "waiting for device"

Hi there,
I have a problem that i suspect others may have, i did my searching on google and on xda but found nothing so i have no other choice but to post. I am trying to fastboot flash a prerooted .67 firmware, i put my phone into fastboot and connected the usb cable, the led STAYS blue that seems to be fine(i have installed fastboot drivers using flashtool /drivers directory), i type in the fastboot command to flash it and it just sticks at "waiting for device".
Any ideas?
Thanks
What happens when you type:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
Also:
1. Disable any antivirus
2. reboot your PC
3. Change to another USB port
4. Make sure the .img is in the same folder as the fastboot.exe
Try fastbooting an official firmware instead if that works then I believe you have encountered the 'bug' in the bootloader that is currently stopping any custom roms

Hi,
you know that every smartphone has a flash and a fast boot Feature ?
Some Smartphone, look´s like Sony, use:
Speaker UP Button and USB Connect for Fastboot
(by Sony the Home Button lights blue)
and
Speaker Down Button and USB Connect for Flash
(by Sony the Home Button lights green)
For Fastboot.exe ........ xy.img must be use the Fastboot
Feature.
In first using Fastboot.exe, after Phone Connect you must
wait that the PC find all Drivers.
If Fastboot doesn´t work again, maybe you need "SDK Android"
and "Google SDK Driver"... will find over Net.
Doesn´t work again, the use "Flashtool.exe" Methode and
convert the xy.xy Firmware to xy.ftf for Flashtool use.
Onex1
my version is 0.5
i tried all of this except the last point of Onex1. Nothing works still sticks at waiting for device. Also havent restarted my pc i will try that soon but i think that might be a long shot.
Also my device is recognised as an adb device if that helps.
Any ideas guys? I have been trying but now im all spent. My xperia s is unlocked and factory bootloader unlocked if that helps
I know this thread is really old, but I was having this same issue and it was fixed by using a newer version of the Android SDK. So if you're having problems, try updating!
U must enable USB debugging mode
Send from Xperia U
i have the same issue
power on off button is broke
i can boot to recovery but i cant select to flash anything because of the button its not working
adb works for me too because its recognized when i write adb devices but when i write fastboot devices nothing happens and everything i do it says waiting for device
anyway PrakashGD, he said adb is working, that means USB Debugging is ON, if it was off adb would've not worked duh
Ensure fastboot driver is installed

The device never gets recognized so easily on "adb" whereas in fastboot u would not have any issues.....
since u r going to flash the kernel try "fastboot devices" u ll be able to see ur device
The adb issue will be solved by restarting the PC or by trying to re-install the HTC drivers

I tried fastboot devices and enter but it's just blank nothing
I tried restart PC didn't help, I tried to restart the phone too, and reinstalling drivers nothing.
Even WinDroid HTC One X+ Toolkit won't recognized him when he is in fastboot, but when he is in windows he said Online on status. I really have no idea where did I go wrong I usually always get him into fastboot flash normal.

I always had the device shown as BLANK on "adb" when using windows
whereas on fastboot I never had that issue.....
can u try this
In windows install this MInimal ADB and Fastboot give a try on"fastboot devices" using this
if not working re install the drivers and try the MInimal ADB and Fastboot again
I am suggesting this because it had worked flawlessly for me with proper drivers and MInimal ADB and Fastboot.......
I never had to install drivers I just installed some adb universal drivers from WinDroid HTC One X+ Toolkit 3.0 it always worked without installing any other drivers, but all of the sudden it's not. I tried now using that MInimal ADB still blank, I will try now to reinstall or uninstall completely that adb universal drivers, and try again.

Installation won't start on this one that you gave me. I run it but nothing happends.
P.S
I download AdbDriverInstaller he said that I already have installed adb drivers, don't know how when I uninstall it all.
EDIT:
I manage to get device ID on adb devices in windows, but when I enter bootloader in fastboot he can't recognized him on command "fastboot devices" he said "device not found", and I can't flash kernel becouse he needs to be in fastboot.

I did that too now, and in windows I get adb devices he show me number of my device, my friend told me now that I can flash kernel when I am in OS that I don't have to be in fastboot he will enter fastboot on his own, and I try that too, and as I told he manage to find device via adb, but when he enter bootloader in fastboot he is waiting for device in kernel cmd windows he can't find him.
Make sure your using a USB port that connects directly to your mobo. adb/fastboot is dodgy with USB hubs. Try a port at the back of your PC.

How to get fastboot to work on Windows 8.1 with eng hboot 1.39.200

The title pretty much says it all. I have tried every single method on this site to get my computer to recognize my phone while in fastboot mode with no luck. It works in adb mode just fine I can even reboot to boot loader but once it gets there I get "device enumeration failure" or "device not recognized" when I was on the 1.57 hboot it worked just fine so it has to be something with the 1.39 eng hboot but what I'm not sure. If anyone could help or if anyone else has this problem maybe we could help each other in fixing this cause my only other option is downgrading to win7 which I'm not sure I'll be able to do.

Check to make sure that Windows installed the correct driver in device manager. Also, in bootloader adb doesn't work. Only fastboot and only on the fastboot USB side of bootloader.

Windows installed the correct drivers or I should say I installed the correct drivers. Depending on if I plug into a USB 3.0 or a USB 2.0 port is when my computer tells me whether or not I have "device enumeration failure".
Plugged into USB 3.0 in device manager shows "HTC MTP device" but with a yellow triangle on it obviously meaning the driver needs to be updated or is incorrect, but when trying to update it I'm given "windows has installed the correct drivers already" which in fact by checking it manually it has. HTC driver 2.07xx
Plugged into USB 2.0 gives me "device enumeration failure" and doesn't find any HTC MTP device.
Mind u this is while in fastboot mode not in ADB mode. I'm well aware of the difference between the 2. And fwiw ADB mode works flawlessly while fully booted and in recovery. It's only fastboot mode my computer will not recognize.

Not an install. Unzip and run cmd prompt from there. Note that your fastboot commands will start HTC_fastboot
Ok sorry if I sound lame but I want to make sure I get this right. So unzip the file, open a cmd prompt window from where I unzipped the file correct (eg: C:/downloads/HTC_fastboot/ ) then from there see type in fastboot devices?

Once you extract it simply browse to the new folder, hold shift key and right click. Select open cmd prompt here.

He asked that because if you use mine you need to use htc_fastboot devices
Otherwise you will be using the fastboot from sdk install.

Had the same issue tried every thing, but eventually end up installing uBuntu that solved every thing.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog...8-0-but-fail-on-windows-8-1-with-code-43.aspx
Its due to the missing device descriptor.
Royal PITA, I have yet to get it working. I just keep a win7 laptop around.
The only way this could be "fixed", would be if we had a newer eng-hboot that had the descriptors set.

My laptop doesn't detect my phone and no solution works

Hello i have Redmi note 5 pro .. last night i tried to unlock my bootloader but the Mi unlock doesn't detect it.. i searched xda,google and youtube and did every possible solution.. nothing seems to work for me then i also tied to check it under mi flash and also doesn't detect my phone.. searched everywhere for solution and nothing seems to work.. i tried it with another laptop and and it works fine in that.. i tried multiple adb options nothing works and also i did a soft reset of laptop and hard reset my mobile phone and installed the only adb which youtubers were using to unlock there devices and still not working.. what to do now ?

aaaah powershell is the problem for this because it is restricted to run commands you must change from powershell to cmd like in windows 7 search in youtube how to replace powershell with cmd

Hello i tried the command and right after this or any other command laptop makes this disconnecting sound.. after this my phone disappear from my laptop.. no other command works even reconnecting the phone doesn't work.. after i have to reboot the" bootloader mode" and then my latop detects the phone.. and this cycles is endless
Again is just on MTP still not in ADB ?
Try to flash the same twrp recovery for your device in fastboot mode , rename twrp.img to recovery.img , drag that custom recovery to adb directory
now write this command :
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and see if you are able to flash that custom recovery , probably you need first to unlock bootloader but try like that if it's work .

Very strange to me but , try this :
1. Disable or remove your Antivirus (because sometimes virus can block instaling drivers , ports or running flash tool)
2. Uninstall all the previous drivers you used for flashing or unbrick use free tool called USBDeview
64 bit
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
3. Put your windows in Test mode
To put your Windows in test mode just Run As Administrator Command Prompt and insert one of the following command:
bcdedit -set testsigning on ( to enable test mode)
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...66266232947643
bcdedit -set testsigning off ( to disable test mode)
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...26094979151761
Or Disable driver signature
Windows 10

After that reboot your PC .
4. Uninstall all flash program from your pc like Miflash tool, Mi PCsuite
Use Revo Uninstaller for advanced uninstaling that clean leftover files and registry which is stored inside your Windows registry.

5. Now make sure that you have enabled USB debugging
Make sure that Windows update is ON

Hello thank you for your kind reply i have tried that too .. it doesn't work for me
Maybe the only way is to re-flash stock firmware but to get your device recognised you need to do test point .
Warning !!! I'm not responsible if you brick your device or do some physical damage !

Let me know if you got fixed : ) . Good luck : )

Fastboot help

My PC doesn't detect my phone when I use Fastboot Devices when my phone is on Fastboot mode. I get a blank space in return. Can anyone help me with this? ADB works fine, it's only Fastboot. Is there a Fastboot driver that I might be missing?
Thank you.
Edit: I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my phone.
Me too !
Drivers are here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
These are the ones I use for ADB/Fastboot.
May I ask if anybody solved this already?
Having the same issue, tried various drivers, but fastboot won't find my phone
Help is highly apperciated!
Clock
If you using windows 10 have you disable the drivers signature verification.. And search on here (XDA) for Min ADB & Fastboot tools, easier than using SDK tools unless you modding apks ect..
Okay, I got this working.
When in fastboot mode, you have to go to the device manager, update driver, and manually choose the google fastboot driver. Then the ! is gone and it works.
