Hi all,
Today I decided to give WOS2.0 a try on my Pace (original Chinese watch A1612, now running on stock ROM 1.3.8a). So, I followed the steps to retrieve the required information for bootloader unlock:
1) "./adb devices" --> returns a device number
2) "./adb shell reboot bootloader" --> Watch shows that it's in fastboot
3) "./fastboot getvar all" --> No response....(waiting forever).
"./fastboot devices" doesn't return anything...
I also tried the same from Windows 10 (running in a virtualbox); exact same results...after entering fastboot mode, the watch seems to be invisible to the mac.
Tried another cable, same results.
What could be the issue? Could it be an issue with 1.3.8a firmware?
Regards,
Eeg.
Fastboot is broken on macOS High Sierra as of now (at least for some devices), but I am using version 1.0.36 from this site and it (somewhat) works:
https://android.izzysoft.de/downloads
And it works on VirtualBox too, make sure you add the device to USB devices in the guest settings as well that you have the proper drivers installed.
Hi,
Thanks for your help!
Version 1.0.36 seems to be working...so now I can request the bootloader unlock code. Let's hope that it's stable enough to perform the full procedure to upgrade to WOS2.0
Cheers,
Eeg.
Os simply install AmazeROM.

Hi good people of the internet,
I recently brough a brand new ZTE Blade Vec 4G and i wanted to replace the Android OS that came with the device before i start using it, but i hit a snag when trying to run the shell commands via USB.
I have been trying via my Ubuntu machine, but i also tried allitle in Windows, but i got the same result there.
So far ive been following this list (could not post the links, but its via the main "Installing Ubuntu for Devices" page:
Unlock the Android device
To install Ubuntu, you must first “unlock” the Android device bootloader.
Warning: Unlocking deletes all data from the device, including apps and other data. You may want to create a backup first.
You must first have enabled USB Debugging in the Android OS.
Boot the device into the Android bootloader:
$ adb reboot bootloader
Tip: When the device is booted into the bootloader the screen displays the green Android robot lying on its back with its front panel open and a highlighted Start menu item.
Verify the device is connected to your Ubuntu Desktop as follows:
$ fastboot devices
025d138e2f521413 fastboot
Unlock the device as follows:
$ sudo fastboot oem unlock
Accept the terms of unlocking displayed on the Android device.
Reboot the device to Android as follows:
$ fastboot reboot
Complete the first use Android setup steps, entering minimal information: Android and its data is about to be deleted during the Ubuntu install.

Ive only made it to highlighted point, but when i hit "sudo fastboot oem unlock" it just stops on < waiting for device >, and when i try to find the device i cant see it when in "Android system recovery mode".
Any help would be great as ive spent near 5 hours trying to do this now
I don't think it's possible to unlock the bootloader on your device yet. From what I've read, even the adb reboot bootloader method does not actually get you into fastboot mode. Replacing the OS with Ubuntu will not be an option because of this as well as other reasons.

Thank you for the reply. So how can i remove Android at all then? would it be better to try something like CyanogenMod or MIUI? I have also been looking at Firefox OS, but if i cant remove Android, then i cant really do much at all..
Just saw this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/soshphone-4g-zte-blade-vec-root-t2810210/page1
Guess i just need to make do with the unrooted Android for now..
Pretty much stuck for awhile. There might never be an option for it. Many phones never get the chance to have different OSes or even custom versions of Android. Hopefully that's not the case, but it's not uncommon.
I recently purchased 2 Asus TF103C stocked with Android 4.4.2 and running on an Intel processor. I'd like to load a custom OS/ ROM to them for work however I have not had any success finding a process that allows me to do so. I have managed to root the tablet successfully but that is the extent of my accomplishment to date. I understand that this is a fairly new device and not much has been uncovered yet to achieve this task. Asus is also hesistant to release an unlocked bootlooder update. If anyone is aware of a process whether through adb or the likes please raise your voice to help the community out on this one.

Before following steps bellow mentioned don't forget to install USB and ADB drivers
Also download minimal ADB and Fastboot tools ( for links use google search its easily available)
Configure your compute for fastboot Enable USB debugging on the device.
Connect the device to the computer through USB.
From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode
$*adb*reboot bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing*
fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>",
fastboot is not configured properly on your machine.
If you see "no permissionsfastboot", try running
fastboot as root.
From the same terminal, type the following command to get info of the bootloader:
fastboot oem-info
To unlock type
fastboot oem unlock
And press enter
May this will unlock your boot loader in general

Hello, I tried your command suggestions to unlock the bootloader and they failed. The command 'fastboot oem-info' does not return anything and 'fastboot oem unlock' returns RESULT: FAIL (unkown OEM command) on the tablet and in the cmd window. Thanks for the suggested attempt nonetheless.
Still having this problem
fastboot oem unlock fails on the TF103C and it says RESULT:FAIL(unknown OEM command). It would be great if Asus could release a tf103c_unlock.apk utility like they have for other Asus tablets (for instance the TF701T has tf701_unlock.apk which works).
Asus, please help!
Sorry, just noticed I posted in wrong place. Can admin move this to the correct one?
i want to upgrade my TF201 to unofficial rom from official rom.
I follow the instruction flash TWRP in fastboot mode.
This is the wired thing, in device manager, 'ASUS fastboot interface' was shown. In device & printer, it shown as 'fastboot' under unspecified category.
In CMD windows, it can return the serial number within the first 10 seconds (roughly) after Computer turned on(Yes, the PC, not tablet).
after a very short time, fastboot devices returns nothing, flash command returns 'waiting for any devices'.
I'm using 64bits windows 10. I tried both usb 3.0 and 2.0, same issue.
BTW, for people who encountered 'device not recognize' issue, pleas disconnect the keyboard.
Dear Firmware Gurus,
I received a gift from someone, the Huawei Mediapad 10 Link, and the Android version 4.1 + old firmware was making the tablet very slow. So I decided to:
1. Root device with framaroot --> Success.
2. Find and download newer official ROM for the table --> Success.
3. Install Rashr + install TWRP recovery through it --> FAIL And this is the moment I really regret. I didn't imagine that this application will give me boot loop forever.
Anyway, now I have bootloop and I can only access Fastboot by pressing Volume+ & Power Button. But when I connect the tablet on Windows OR linux, while on Fastboot screen, the adb + fastboot does not see any listed devices. Please help me with all kinds of instructions how I can see the device listed in adb and reset or upgrade the firmware from there. I am hopeless, and sad, and willing to donate with PayPal as appreciation if you can help me.
Hi , all you have here just follow carefully

Thank you a lot. I have solved the problem and upgraded the firmware at the same time following the instructions in the link you provided but I also needed to do some things not in that link (because adb shell doesn't work I had to upgrade firmware through fastboot only).
This tutorial is made for all those who used the SHIIIII**** application called Rashrr that soft-bricks thousands of phones every day trying to install TWRP recovery. I've seen many people complaining about this but finally there is a way out for this device at least.
So here is the conclusion for everyone else in trouble:
1. Go to this link and follow instructions until you can install Google SDK studio + Google USB Drivers.
http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/
2. Connect your device to the charger, click Power button + Vol+ to Enter into fastboot mode as in this link.
3. Connect the USB cable to your Windows computer and then go to Device Manager, you will most probably find your device as Unknown Device. Click on it and Update Driver. Pick this driver from a a list: Android Composite ADB Interface..
4. Then go to the SDK Platform Tools folder where the adb and fastboot commands are:
C:\Users\<Your_User_Account_Name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools
Copy all the contents of this file inside it.
This archive includes the most updated firmware images of Huawei Mediapad 10 Link s10-wa (WiFi Only Version).
5. Run the cmd as Administrator and go to the same path where you put the files run the command "fastboot devices" and something like this should appear to indicate your device is being properly connected:
?????? fastboot
or
0x12d1 fastboot
If this line appeared it means that your device is being seen by fastboot and it will comply to your commands.
6. Run upgrade.bat while the device is connected in fastboot mode. Do not interrupt while your system is being upgraded.
7. Reboot device and enjoy! Don't forget that first boot takes some time seeing Huawei logo. Give it time!
My Huawei Mediapad 10 link+ start black screen after reboot..thi happens after I flashing the device why???
Did not worked for me

When I run the Upgrade.bat it says fastboot: unknown option -- i, and when I check the fastboot options for this i key did not found it.. Any help on this?

you have the files bro?
I am on an older macbook pro running High Sierra. the phone I'm using is a Blu G5 running android 9. I have the developer options unlocked and oem unlocked and usb debugging checked. When i open my terminal i type cd and drag and drop the platform tools folder into the terminal window changing the directory to the folder containing the adb and fastboot files. I can use adb commands such as adb devices and get the serial number and it says devices. So far so good. Then i reboot the phone into the bootloader manually or using command adb reboot bootloader and the phone goes into fastboot mode. I know because it says it on top of the screen in white letters. Then i run into the problem fastboot commands don't work. If I type in fastboot devices nothing but a new command line shows up. When i type in any other command like fastboot device or fastboot oem unlock it says "waiting for any devices." I wait and wait but nothing happens. I have looked on the internet for a solution but all i find is that the driver may not deinstalled properly. I have tried manually installing fastboot driver and used sdk manager to install the fastboot driver and I have tried it using the terminal in android studio but no matter what when i try useing fastboot commands i get the "waiting for any device" message. Does any have a solution or could anyone recommend and forum for android development on MacOSX?
@DimDreams
Seems the Fastboot driver is invalid.

I have literally tried like 10 different sdk tool downloads just platform tool download basically every thing i can find. By chance would you or anyone out there have a working driver for MacOSX 10.13.6? or link a guide that can help me figure this out. I have made a little progress with a forum on xda about fastboot on macs but i still just keep getting the waiting for any device message.
@DimDreams
May also be that the Fastboot Android mode is not available on the phone in question.
I've had similar issues before and noticed that fastboot mode works better via USB 2.0 than USB 3.0. Maybe check which port you're using and switch. ADB seems to work well either way, however. Hope that helped.
I just had this problem as well and I found this, what worked for me is first boot your phone into bootloader mode with
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. While in the bootloader fastboot worked for me. Hope this helps someone!
