fastboot doesn´t work on windows pc out of the blue - Sony Xperia XZ1 Questions & Answers

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.

[Q] LG optimus c stuck in fastboot mode PLEASE HELP

i tried to flash a recovery and it didnt work and the phone is stuck in fastboot mode
use this
BUT, before you even do a thing, know that you have to use the files that are meant for your phone (you need the recovery and usb drivers meant for your phone; i believe you can use the other files)

My phone can't get to emergency mode and stuck in fastboot mode i have rooted my phone and backed up rom rebooted phone and went straight to fastboot mode what do i do
lg optimus c
Yes the tut didn't work for my phone. for some reason its not being recognized by the fastboot shell nor adb shell. I'd assume its completely bricked ? thanks for all the help.
My phone was not recognized by neither fastboot nor adb while in fastboot mode. "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" generated no result. Nevertheless, the following command worked flawlessly
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
So, it seems that it's not necessary for the phone to show up in adb or fastboot.

fastboot "waiting for device"

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

Fastboot doesnt work.

Here is my Problem.
Adb works without any Problems.
Command just doesnt detect the fastboot mode.
So, when i start the fastboot mode, odin detects my phone and Im able to flash.
Just when i want to use commands like
fastboot devices
fastboot erase system
etc
it says nothing, or waiting for device.
I opened up the Devicemanger. The usb driver is called "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device"
Its working fine, but i just cant acess my phone with cmd.
I just need that to do a clean full wipe.
this is driving me nuts
fastboot erase system/boot/preinstall etc
Thanks 4 your help and sorry for my bad english xD

Samsung devices do not support fastboot mode, only what they call "Download mode". This mode can be controlled by Odin only, so fastboot tool does not work.

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.

Stucked with fastboot

Hi all,
Just bought yesterday this phone and after doing typical actions like android config (oem, debugging, etc.), installed adb and fastboot. PC recognized command adb devices and shows the phone but when I reboot to fastboot mode, it stucks and the device manager shows unknown android.
Have read all the tips here, forums, youtube, etc. but no way. Tried in 2 different computer with same results. Installed last android studio with sdk manager, same error. Installed oneplus drivers and also the same.
Even I have tried a different cable but no success at all.
This is so frustrating situation, ever more considering that I'm not newbie at this (years ago always changed rom every month and smartphone every 2 months).
Any advice? Format pc? Install other windows in other partition?
Or selling the phone and buying another brand

Did you select always allow from this computer after enabling debugging and plugging your phone into computer when phone was booted and running(not in recovery or fastboot. Also adb does not work in the bootloader only fastboot commands. Secondly search for the insecure modded stock recovery if you want to do adb access commands in recovery. There is also a fastboot d mode on our phones which look like recovery but you can flash all partions via full fastboot to get to fastboot d your phone has to be on then you type adb reboot fastboot
