Hi
I sat down for three hours yesterday trying to get fastboot to recognise my device. I have ADB and fastboot files on my Windows 10, and I have the Sony Xperia m4 drivers downloaded.
When my device is powered off, I press and hold volume up, and insert usb cable witch is connected to my computer.
When typing Fastboot devices, the cmd prompt doesn't give me any connected devices...
Is there any installer for the correct drivers and is there any magic trick to manually enter bootloader mode.
I have also tried the Fastboot Software and I still can't enter fastboot mode.
Ok, fixed it
I used these files

Hi
I have got a hero on the cheap currently using an iPhone boot looking to move over.
The hero has a custom rom on it, I would liketo try others. Holding down the home button and powering on just leaves it with the G2 boot screen. Holding down back button and power brings me into fastboot USB. When connected to the mac I am unable to see the device / list it using adb devices. If I boot into the os and connect to the mac not mounting the sdcard I can see the device with adv devices.
I'm trying to install a recovery image, this is proving dificult with not seeing the device in fastboot.
Has anyone any thought/suggestions on to resolve? Or point me in the direction of some threads to read.

use fastboot devices when in fastboot...
HI,
thanks for the reply, when in fastboot on the device I use fastboot which i have downloaded from the andriod site and put in my "tools" folder when trying to lash a recovery image it just comes back with a prompt saying "waiting for device"
thanks
just to make sure: you turn off the phone, then turn it on again while holding down BACK. this brings you to a screen with a white background and fastboot written somewhere. then you plug in the usb cable and execute "fastboot devices". if it still doesn't recognize your device then you got a problem somewhere, no idea where though. not sure if windows needs drivers or anything for fastboot to work correctly...
Yes that's correct.
Phone is recognize in everything other than when connected by fastboot.
Thanks for your input
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

I am having a REAL BUGGER of a time with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon)!
1. It is not recognized by ADB in Fastboot mode.
2. I suspect it shipped wit a vendor ROM, and I'm trying to flash latest Official MIUI Global Dev (Marshmallow) ROM, but I keep getting errors in MI Flash (screenshot attached).
3. I want to Flash TWRP, BUT ADB isn't working, AND I cannot get to the download page for the cracked bootloader.
4. Seriously considering Resurrection Remix ROM, instead, but most of the above issues still apply.
I am NOT new to custom recoveries, flashing ROMS, ADB etc, BUT I am dealing with a new PC (Windows 10 Home, 64 bit, like my old (dead) laptop), and I'm new to this device.
PLEASE HELP. (Quite frustrated)
Fastboot won't recognize adb commands you have to use fastboot.
What you can try is booting into emergency download mode and using my flash to flash it from there. I think it's " adb reboot edl" while the device is on with USB debugging or using the mi updater app ( tap the three dots I think).
I think that this is not the correct section for your question, and i dont know the procedure that you follow but try to follow this procedure:
-Connect the phone at pc with USB cable
-Make sure that debug mode and OEM unlock was abilitate in dev settings
-Copy twrp.img in adb folder
-Shut down the phone and press power botton and - vol buttons for enter in fastboot mode
-Run this commands by terminal open in adb folder
fastboot devices
-If fastboot recognize correctly the device run this command
fastboot fash recovery nameoftwrp.img
-After reboot the device with this command
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboot press immediatily vol + for enter in twrp
Good luck
GOT IT! FINALLY!
-I finally got ADB to connect, and was able to enter EDL through ADB.
-Re-downloaded ROM from web.
-Re-extracted.
-FLASHED SUCCESSFULLY!
-SETUP COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!
-YAY!
(I think the original download was corrupted, somehow.)
Hey friends i was able to unlock bootloader of my REDMI NOTE 3 OFFICIALLY.
I wan to root the device and install TWRP but for tat i have to connect my phone in fastboot mode.
The thing is phone is recognised as an adb device when it is on but after putting the phone in fastboot mode my laptop is not showing in cmd after " fastboot devices" command
plz help if anyne know how to fix this.
How are you putting it in fastboot mode?
did you already install correct driver in your pc?
you can try to instal latest mi pc suite which will help you to instal correct driver for your phone.
If you're already success unlocking with official way..then it's mean your fastboot driver already correct (if you're using the same computer when you're unlocking before)
Maybe i think you're missed something to put your phone into fastboot mode..
First way you can go into fastboot mode with ADB command while your phone already ON, just typing command "adb reboot bootloader" then enter..your phone will reboot into fastboot mode
Second way to go into fastboot mode firstly you must turn off your phone..just wait until that phone is truely OFF..
then press and hold volume down button..then followed with pressing and hold power button..your phone will booting into fastboot mode.
So my device is recognized when it's turned on but then I go to command prompt and click ADB reboot bootloader (enter). It just says waiting for device. If it's on and I click ADB devices in the command prompt it tells me the serial number and then says device. On the computer management it is recognized as a device it says the name Xperia XA Ultra. I tried to update the Google driver into ADB but that was a failed attempt. I couldn't quite understand what I was supposed to do there or really even follow the instructions because it kept telling me that I was unable to update drivers after I followed the instructions they gave me. I just kept getting an error message. So I'm wondering how do I solve this problem? I really would like to unlock my bootloader and I'm not even sure if it's going into fastboot. I got the notification after turning off the phone hold Volume Plus and plug it in it said of my computer that it was installing the fastboot drivers. I'm assuming it was in fastboot at that time even though I didn't get a blue light it just turned blue for a minute and then it was Green. It said it was installing fastboot drivers so I'm assuming it was in fastboot mode. This is a really tricky process I guess.
What windows do you have?
Also I would recommend you to Google how install fastboot on your Windows type.

I have windows 10
Windows 10. Why would I need to install fastboot on Windows? Fastboot is on my Android device. I use ADB. Android debugging bridge is the bridge that goes between your operating system and fastboot the bootloader and Android and all of that in order to be able to communicate with the phone. Why would I need to install Fastboot on my windows? You sound like a customer service representative. I can't even talk to them anymore because they tried to get me to act like Chris Farley.
If you don't install fastboot on your computer you can't unlock bootloader you can't install custom recovery or root the phone!

Hello,
Here is the link to the ADB Installer that contains all the files you need (ADB, Fastboot and Drivers). Download and following the screen information to install the program.

Hi there
please note that Windows 10 x64 blocks the installation of unsigned drivers. To be able to install them anyway you have to enter the Windows Test Mode. To do this you just have to run "bcdedit /set testsigning on" in an administrative command line and restart your computer afterwards. You'll see "Test Mode" at the bottom right corner of your desktop. To leave the testmode use "bcdedit /set testsigning off" and restart again.
Done all of this and it doesn't work...
You have to use drivers from Sony for Flashmode and use drivers included in Flashtool (C:\flashtool\drivers) for fastboot and ADB. No problem for me with Windows 10 64bits and don't need to use Test mode.
