Hi!
I recently got my new Acer Tablet A3-A30. After unlocking developer options and activating debugging I was able to use adb. So I rebooted into bootloader to see if fastboot works - it did not! The output of fastboot devices was empty (this and the following commands were typed as root).
So I killed adb with adb kill-server, disconnected it from my computer and turned it off. After a few moments I turned it on by pressing power while holding Vol[-]-Key. Again the tablet booted into fastboot mode. Now I connected it with my computer and hoped fastboot will recognize the device now. Again, the output was empty.
I noticed, that after connecting the tablet, the text fastboot mode on the display didn't change - all other devices I put into fastboot mode showed fastboot usb mode or similar after I connected them with my computer.
I tried different USB ports - nothing changed.
I'm just wondering, since I'm not familiar with acer devices: Is there a hidden key sequence to get into fastboot usb mode?
Thanks,
Tintom1

I have an a1-830 and it can be a real pain in the ass to get anything working on them. Try this, since you got adb working, adb reboot bootloader, then wait till it says fastboot cmd waiting or something. If that din't work, reply!

If you are using Linux, try running fastboot with the sudo command. Also, the drivers might not be properly installed, check out this to download them.

I can press volup and power for 15 sec and get android recovery screen.
I can connect my phone to my laptop.
I can run "adb devices" and get List of devices attached: "20F3A........... recovery" so i think it sees it.
But when I run "fastboot reboot" (to test the connection) it says "waiting for device".
I think I have to give another command to adb, but don't know what.
If you can help, I'd much appreciate it!

If the phone runs ADB, it's not in fastboot mode.
fastboot is a boot loader feature. ADB is a service at the operating system level. They are mutually exclusive.
Take to phone back to fastboot if it's what you want.
Code:
$ adb reboot-bootloader

Thanks! Please pardon my ignorance... I did:
Code:
adb devices
pause
adb reboot-bootloader
pause
fastboot reboot
After adb reboot-bootloader my phone changed from the recovery screen to the white tmo logo screen and hung.
fastboot reboot still says waiting for device...
EDIT Okay, I think I've figured out that, from power off, volup+power=recovery screen , and voldn+power=fastboot screen(white with tmo logo).
But I can't do anything from that fastboot screen. The computer recognizes it when I USB plug it, but it still says waiting for device.
EDIT: It appears I have a driver for adb, but no driver for fastboot, or just plugging the powered off phone in to usb.
fixed.

When I'm try to boot in fastboot mode the fastboot mode (volume down+power) will only display for about 10 seconds and then it will reboots itself into charging mode. doesn't matter if i use the key, or even use adb commands to get there. it will still reboot itself in short period of time.
why is this happening? i just want to unlock my bootloader thats all...

Your computer is unable to detect the phone in fastboot mode. Uninstall and reinstall the fastboot drivers, the proper ones. If successfully detected it should not be rebooting.

Im having this issue now on my redmi note 4x.
Do you have a solution? Thanks
Man, you need adb bootloader interface installed properly.
Open device manager, and you'll see something popping out when you connect your device to pc on fastboot mode, there you can see what's wrong. So all you need is update that wrong driver (the one that popped out once you connect your device in fastboot mode) and install redmi note 4x driver, just ignore your disappearing fastboot mode in your device, keep install it. You should have your redmi note 4x driver prepared btw, you can google it.
Good luck!
use USB2 port, do not use USB3

That is because your computer does not make any connection with your phone. Are you sure that you have all drivers installed. You can install fastboot drivers with mi flash tool but before that write this command in an admin cmd - bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF and reboot. Now you can now install the fastboot driver from mi flash tool and try your luck

So drivers are needed for fastboot flashing a xiaomi phone?
Why I didn't need drivers to use fastboot with other phone manufacturers?
In these phones (oppo, op) the phone stays in fastboot mode until you exit or shut it down.
I think xiaomi did a bad move with this.
───────
EDIT: It works in debian without any additional drivers.
Fastboot recognizes the xiaomi phone with "fastboot devices" command.
So it was as you said.
Hello, I don't know if anyone here has been there
Simply no computer recognizes my Mi A3 in fastboot mode, it appears as if there is nothing connected to the PC (I have tested it on other computers, all drivers are right, I tried with other cables, and nothing detected)
The adb works normal (Detects the device), MTP also (I can pass files from the PC to it), Only Fastboot that does not appear devices
My bootloader is unlocked, this happened a few days ago. I'm stuck on MIUI, because anything I do I can't use fastboot to fix.
I'm afraid to try EDL and he dies for good (He detects EDL Mode via the USB cable, holding volume down). Would you have any fix for that, be it opening it, removing the battery, shorting some part of the board?
What is the output when you type

fastboot devices
Or any fastboot codes you type?

Looks like you don't have fastboot installed just adb. Your working from an adb folder are you sure you have the full platform tools installed or just adb?

Only mi a3 does not work on fastboot, does not detect on any computer
Hey all, I just got a G90 Pro that I want to put a ROM on, but something is up with the fastboot. I have the drivers installed according to what I found online, but when I go to fastboot there is no response from the cmd inputs. Nothing even shows up when I check fastboot devices. Has anyone had luck with these phones? I can't even unlock the bootloader!

I have done this, but did it again just to be sure, and device manager recognizes the G90 Pro under USB devices, and ADB finds it, but when I do the 'adb reboot bootloader' the fastboot mode text is on the bottom, yet fastboot commands don't do anything, not even 'fastboot devices'.
Edit: Fastboot devices is recognized in fastbootd, but not regular fastboot, yet the other commands don't work.
In your case fastboot is located in Android's user-space, hence you run this command sequence
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot <YOUR-COMMAND-HERE>
fastboot reboot

Fastboot reboot fastboot just brings up the fastboot command list. Assuming it's expecting me to try reboot bootloader.
That's really weird because your phone is running Android 10.
My info in settings definitely confirms that. Nothing seems to be working as expected though.

Hello.
Today I updated from the Nord 5G to the Nord 2 5G.
DN2103_11_A.14
I have enabled developer mode, oem unlock and adb debug.
I can't access fastboot properly. And recovery is different from the previous Nord. There is no option to reboot to fastboot.
I use adb reboot-fastboot and I enter a sort of fastboot. It says:
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
The device is in fastboot mode which is only for debug Android devices. if you want to exit fastboot mode, please long press volume up nad power buttons simultaneously.
Phone is recognized in windows when in adb-mode (normal booted), but does not recognize it when in this new fastboot mode. Just an Android with an exclamation mark on.
Halp?

Don't own this device but try: "adb reboot bootloader" instead and test fastboot commands from there (don't navigate to Fasboot from bootloader).

This is normal behaviour with the OPN2 afaik. Your PC can access the USERDATA folder whilst in ADB mode (aka booted normally) and whilst in the recovery bios. Your pc CANNOT access the USERDATA folder when your phone is in fastboot, or at least I've never been able to on my Nord 2.
Your op didn't include what exactly you need help with. Everything you described is exactly intended behaviour. From my understanding your seem to have booted into fastboot mode, then noticed your PC can't access userdata. That's normal, you can still use fastboot commands and your PC is still connected to the phone. Your "My Computer" folder on PC not showing the phone shouldn't be any cause for alarm.
Now I'm starting to guess, because you might have failed to mention; Are you unable to send fastboot commands to your phone when its in fastboot mode?
Are you trying to flash a file?
What's the issue?

I am unable to send fastboot commands. Is not recognized by "fastboot devices". And this fastboot mode looks nothing like my previous phones. 2, X, 5T and Nord 5G. <waiting for device>
I want to do my "usual routine" with my new phones. Unlock, flash twrp or other recovery, and flash magisk for root.
After a "full wipe" of ADB and fastboot drivers, I reinstalled and got it working!
nothing. only recovery mode
vol down+ power =recovery mode
vol up + power = normal boot
I finaly boot into fastboot mode with adb command only (adb reboot bootloader)
With buttons wont work.
But i can't enable Volte/Vowifi (thats why i wanted to boot there).
Can you send adb commands when in recovery mode ?
I'm trying to enable VoLTE too, but adb only detect phone when powered normaly, not when in recovery mode.
i don't know about adb but in fastboot you can.
I can't enable volte/vowifi in fastboot with this commands.

Could you go into more detail on what you did in the entire process exactly? Did you use the drivers and adb install from the 15 sec installer? Did you simply uninstall them in the Windows Device Manager and click on "update drivers" to find the local drivers from the 15 sec installer? Which ones did you choose? Sorry, these might be dumb questions, but I'm admittedly very stupid when it comes to Windows and drivers in particular.
I did the exact thing I described above but I'm still just getting that message. Additionally, "fastboot devices" won't list anything and "fastboot oem unlock" will wait for the device for eternaty. "adb devices" on the other hand will list my device while not in Fastboot.
