For fastboot you must use "fastboot devices". ADB and fastboot modes are completely different, learn more about them for example here https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/use-adb-fastboot-android/

I got it to work. I used another computer. I think I am having issues with ADB drivers on my computer. I will see what I can do.

First of all, you'll need to learn the difference between ADB and fastboot (they also use different drivers). If you follow one of many guides, you should be able to get it working in a few minutes. [emoji846]
Quick reminder:
ADB - used when phone's fully running
Fastboot - phone in a special mode ("turned off"), ready for flashing

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.

Adb is showing list of devices attached..what is the solution for this..if any one knows how to solve this problem can u help me??
@Vinay23
On the device I'm using, this was under "Default USB Configuration" - advice from others appears to be that selecting PTP is the way to go.
For me, it works =).
Hope that might help out.

I am not familiar with Linux but on Windows waiting for device comes up when the driver for that phone is installed. May be you can look into it for a solution.
Install the drivers and then give it a try.

You need to install adb fastboot these are the instructions you need to type in the terminal you just opened. Type one line at a time and press enter after each. Allow Ubuntu to do it's stuff.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
after you reboot to the bootloader you use fastboot commands ,not adb

Sorry, I'm messing up what I'm trying to say. I have adb and fastboot installed, running on ubuntu 16.04. I plug my phone in, open Terminal, and run adb devies. My device pops up, it's there. So I run adb reboot bootloader, my phone goes on the white screen with the android fellow, and all is good. Now, I i try adb devices again, nothing. I put in lsusb (lists all usb devices connected to computer), and nothing. So, naturally, when i try fastboot oem unlock and my code, I'm stuck on <waiting for device>

adb does not work in the bootloader
After reboot bootloader it's fastboot devices
If you get no response try a different usb port
Or different usb cord

Hello and welcome to the XDA community, the forum rules for this forum states that no bumping is allowed.
If you are able to access adb, you can do adb reboot recovery, if not, tell us the results. Try to access fastboot too via adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot fastboot. If you are able to access fastboot, you can flash the .zip or .img of your system.

It is okay, just download and install this and connect your device. Open adb up and type adb devices, tell me what it says. Connect your phone in different modes (like recovery or bootloader) and test the adb devices or fastboot devices and report the results!

Fastboot, sideload, recovery, all kinds of stuff that enables you to access it through adb or fastboot.
Btw, that tool I gave you, I scripted it while I was tired and I didn't test it (nightly build) but this one I tested today and it works marvelous.

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!

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.

fastboot doesn´t work on windows pc out of the blue

What has happend with fastboot? I have a rooted phone with twrp 3.3.1.0.
I have used fastboot commands to flash boot.img and recovery.img for years.
Suddenly out of the blue i can´t connect with the phone in fastboot mode. I have tried everything, all kind of different windows drivers, emma, flashtool, drivers from sony, latest driver form google. but i cant get my phone to show up as a device in fastboot mode using fastboot commands. Are there something that has changed lately?
I can connect in flash mode and adb commands works normal.
Usb debugging are on, and I have tried to boot pc without driver signature check.
I have read topics for several days googling and I simply cant get it to work in fastboot.
Please help.
