Hello,everyone.I've got a Sprint optik(zte v55) 7" pad coming with HC 3.2.
After I flash a modified kernel, Its usb debugging mode can't work properly and my pc can't recgonize it.
Before I flash the kernel, when I switched to usb debugging mode and connect to my pc(runing win7), v55 will display a icon in taskbar showing it's connected with pc, my pc will show a new driver that showing the dirs and files in v55's internal storage, and when I run command "adb devices", it will show v55 is connected.
now, all the above is not happening anymore.
The thing is : I use 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img' to flash the kernel in, which means the adb.exe and fastboot.exe can work before I flahsed the kernel, and now they can't work.So I think maybe it's the kernel cause v55's usb can't work ?
Forgot to metion: now, when boot into android system or recovery mode, I can't use 'adb devices' to discover the device;when I boot in ftm mode(which I don't know what it is),sometimes 'adb devices' print 'xxxxx offline' , sometimes print 'xxxx recovery'.
when print 'xxx recovery', I use 'adb reboot bootloader' , v55 enter black screen with back light which seems in bootloader mode, but 'fastboot devices' and 'fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img' are not working.Very strange.

Can anybody know what should I do now ? My intention is to root and flash CM10 to v55,and can be recongize by my pc again.
The kernel I flashed into is in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555,kernel #60 for v55.

Hi, here are some things to keep in mind when using adb.
Be sure of the command you are issuing
Insure you are in fact cd'd to wherever on your pc the adb binary is located
Insure your jdk is included in your path on your pc
To make things easier you can always also add the tools and platform-tools folder of the android sdk to your path
Lets make sure you are properly set up first before you start flashing things randomly.
For more info, you should check Android's page on ADB if you would like. http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
I'm not sure if any of this is actually directly related to your issue, but it is nice to start with the basics.

Thank you for reply.
The adb command I use is install by v55's driver.Everytime I use adb, I always go into the driver's dir (C:\Program Files\ZTE Tablet V55 USB Driver) which adb.exe is in.
And this dir is in my path.
The thing is : I use 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img' to flash the kernel in, which means the adb.exe and fastboot.exe can work before I flahsed the kernel, and now they can't work.So I think maybe it's the kernel cause v55's usb can't work ?

Ooook now we're getting somewhere, I think
Make sure when you send your fastboot flash command you send it like so:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Replace 'recovery.img' with the actual name of the img, whatever it is.
Also if you are getting the device offline error try killing server:
Code:
adb kill-server
and then restart it
Code:
adb start-server
See if that helps.

I will try these command when I get home, thank u!:good:
"adb kill-server" and "adb start-server" works fine.They turn v55's "adb devices" from "offline" to "recovery".
And I run command "adb reboot-bootloader", it seems that v55 is in bootload mode.
But after that,I run command "fastboot flash recovery CWMrecovery.img",it returns '<waiting for device>' and stuck there.
Before I flash the kernel #60, I can run "fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img" to boot to cwm,so I think it's not likely be the driver's problem,am I right?

Sorry to take so long to reply. I think it is not a driver issue. Do you know if debugging/adb is even enabled in the ramdisk? This generally would have to be done by the dev who created the kernel. Speaking of that, have you tried to contact that dev for further support? For sure they would know more than me since I don't own the device myself. I just know enough to be slightly dangerous, lol

It's very nice of you to keep help me here ,thanks again:good:!
After keep trying in past two days, I found that in ftm mode adb is enabled, and 'adb reboot bootloader' truly made the device into bootloader mode.
On my win7 pc, It can't be recognized.I switch to my old xp pc,and install the driver come from other zte user,and then...fastboot works.
Now I have the v55 running CM10,Awesome!Thanks to all contributors.
Still, my win7 pc and xp pc can't recognize my v55 through usb.But it's not big deal now.I can use tf and wifi and other ways to transfer file to v55.

Oh wow, that is quite the ordeal, but atleast its something huh, lol
I wonder if you could run adb and fastboot commands in xp mode on your win7 pc?
I know there is a way to run programs in XP mode, its just been awhile since I've done it.
And its no problem to keep trying to help, even if I don't know the device and all that. Maybe I can learn to while we are at it, and maybe make a new friend along the way
Hi guys,
In the past days i've been troubling my head with trying to unlock the bootloader on my lenovo tb-x103f, but cant seem to enter fastboot mode
I've been using this guide as reference, among other searches from all around, trying to work around this, but cant really seem to come to the bottom of this.
from cmd
adb recognizes my device
"adb reboot bootloader" tablet just boots into the startupscreen
"fastboot devices" somehow "confirms" that im in fastboot, even tho Im acctually not (right?)
"fastboot oem unlock-go" finishes, and says its successfull, but nothing happens (obviusly, since its not acctually in fastboot mode)
from there it just sits there, and nothing happens. have to reboot it myself, either via cmd or the button
why is it not entering fastboot mode? is there any fix for this?
This is getting really frustrating as I just wanna root the tablet and most likely install lineageOS, or some other custom ROM..
thanks in advance
If you can reboot it with a command than you are connected in fastboot mode. It sounds like you have unlocked you tablet. Enter fastboot mode through adb again and try "fastboot oem device-info"
I can use adb commands no problem, but with the phone being in fastboot, fastboot commands like
Code:
fastboot devices
don´t show anything.
I want to unlock the bootloader but I am stuck with
Code:
waiting for device
after the
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
command.
Why is it that every time I try to follow a tutorial, I do the exact same things and it doesn´t work for me?
Anyways, I installed all drivers from here and Device Manager shows an Android ADB Interface with a yellow triangle when I connect my phone in fastboot mode.
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!
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.

Is there any other possible solution? I still can't get fastboot commands to work after rebooting to fastboot mode from fastbootd.
