Does anyone know how to setup fastboot on windows 8? I tried to enter the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools in environment variables to get fastboot to work, but there is no such option anymore in the computer settings. ADB works fine, just cant get fastboot to work, keeps telling me "waiting for device" when i try a fastboot command while the phones at the fastboot menu and hooked up to the computer.
That's driver related not fastboot related. It wouldn't even say that if it was fastboot. It would say "fastboot" is not recognized as an internal command. But yeah you're experiencing a driver error. You could try installing PDAnet and have it install its android driver. Otherwise your outta luck since windows 8 won't let you install unsigned drivers.

The Samsung USB drivers are signed. And actually, you can install unsigned drivers in Windows 8 if you disable driver signature enforcement (DSE).

Yeah but the Samsung drivers aren't his issue. Those don't include the android driver that is needed for fastboot. At least that was my experience. I had to manually install that. And thanks I didn't know that.

I am trying to get ADB to work so I can do the unlock bootloader. ADB recognizes my phone while booted up with usb debugging enabled, but when I reboot to fastboot, it does not recognize it.
I've tried different drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling.... no luck.....
Is there anyone that is knowledgeable in this area to assist me? Is there any kind of IRC channel available to get real-time answers?
Please help,
Thanks,
Bob
i am in the same boat. Using windows 7(64 bit). Cannot get the phone recognized in boot loader mode.

Yeah, im on 7 64 bit also..... i've tried disabling digital driver thing at bootup...
device manager see its just fine.... I can access it with adb while the phone is booted up.... as soon as I reboot to fastboot screen the phone cannot be seen by adb devices..... still shows up just fine with no ! in device manager....
... is there anyway to push a stock image and load a factory stock image from the stock recovery? says it needs to be in /cache folder.... i tried pushing a stock image there but it tells me access is denied.... i tried enabling root.... says root not available on production builds..... im lost....
I just tried it on my xp machine and it worked just fine..... weird.. something with 7 64 bit? i tried pda net drivers, samsung, samsung naked 1.7.... all said they were working fine....
adb is for android or recovery
fastboot is for bootloader
adb won't recognise the device when it's in fastboot mode.
Try:
Code:
fastboot devices
And you don't need adb to unlock the bootloader, the command is:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
So not entirely sure why you're chasing adb...
I am in the same boat, what happens for me is that fastboot doesnt even recognize the device. So all in all I can't oem unlock my device.

The usual recommendation (and what worked for me) is to install PDANet first, just for the drivers. Then fastboot will see your device. You can remove PDANet afterwards and the drivers will remain.

fyi - this is what I did, with 64 bit windows 7 - the driver install didn't complete 'til I actually connected the GN in fastboot mode, then win7 installed the driver and I was able to run fastboot successfully.
i installed the sdk on my windows machine and set the path. when i put adb in it does the same thing as in the tutorial so i am assuming I did it all right. problem is my computer does not recognize my phone when I am in fastboot mode. i have installed the drivers 3 different times but when i am in fastboot it says i need the android 1.0 drivers and it cant find them. I am trying to lock my bootloader and using the command fastboot oem lock and it just says waiting for device. I guess i need to know how to get my vista machine to recognize the phone or try to do this all on my mac running leopard which is pretty confusing to me. any help will be apreciated
Drivers need to be I stalled TWICE: once when your device is booted normally and once when booted in fastboot mode. Use 1wayjonny's universal drivers in the Dev section. When you see the android 1.0, right-click on it and update it manually with the driver.

I'm following the stickied unlocking bootloader and root thread.
I got to step 13. type this into your command prompt window fastboot oem get_identifier_token
It says waiting for device.
I got search in the thread and come across
ckpv5 said:
"waiting for device" usually means the usb bootloader driver is not installed.
Connect your device in fastboot mode. Open your device manager, manually update driver for that "android 1.0".
Attached here both driver for 32bit & 64bit. Use the one that suit to your PC.

What you need to try is, hopefully what I remember is correct ...
be on fastboot usb
open device manager, on the "android 1.0" :
update driver software
browse my computer for driver software
let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
android usb device
next
have disk
browse to the driver you downloaded (browse up to *.inf)
it will detect as my htc
next
ignore any error
the usb bootloader driver will be installed
EDIT : Tested.. the above step is correct.

Windows 7 says "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device."
I try using the Google driver from the android adk but that doesn't work either. I also tried letting windows update find it. Those drivers won't work either.
when you are in fastboot mode and connect it to the usb. you should now see fastboot usb. if you do not see "fastboot usb" you are not connected. something with your drivers

Download the latest HTC Sync Manager, it will install all the drivers needed.
Then you can uninstall the Sync Manager if you want to but leave the drivers.

Thanks. It works!
I got my OP3 today and am trying to unlock the bootloader. I've tried every tutorial and toolkit out there but they all get stuck at the same point in adb, "waiting for device". The "adb devices" command works fine but anything else gets stuck on "waiting for any device". I've tried googling the issue but none of the suggestions have worked so far. Any input would be great.
did you enable oem unlocking from developer options?
bro you may be running win 10 and to connect fastboot on that u need adb driver which u will find on windows update all u have to do is just connect your phone with data transfer mode and update the window 10 . ull find something name qalllcom its adb drive or i dont but after that it will like charm.
I have all the necessary developer options checked. After futzing with it for hours, I tried a different computer (also Windows 10) and it worked right away. I'm going to see what the driver issue is this evening because I still would like to use the original computer I was using. Thanks for the replies!
What does "adb devices" return?

Screenshot:
for bl unlock, you need to be at fastboot mode, and installed right driver, for me working any of stock Google USB package fastboot bootloader driver.
Go to fastboot mode and do "fastboot devices", then try unlocking bl.
You can install the driver after disabling the driver enforcement..

I've tried everything including disabling driver enforcement on Win 10 but I still have the same issue. I have the wrong drivers installed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but when I plugin the phone, the wrong drivers get installed. I got it to work on another Windows 10 computer and below are device manager screenshots of the working (with right drivers) and not working (with wrong drivers) computers. I have no idea how to get the right drivers installed on the computer where its not working and unfortunately, its the primary computer I use.

Try this:
Connect the op3 to usb port - don't bother changing from "charging"
Right click on "ADB Interface" in dev man and disable it.
Without unplugging the op3 use the buttons to reboot into bootloader.
Hopefully W10 will now detect your op3 and either load the correct "oneplus" driver or create a new entry in dev man of Other Devices > Android Composite ADB Interface. Right click on this and then Update driver software > Browse my computer.... > Let me pick... > and if you're lucky One plus will show up in the manufacturer column and allow you to select the composite interface

I tried this but didn't see any new/different entry in DM when I rebooted into bootloader. Didn't see OnePlus under manufacturers either.

Okay so this is the problem. I figured it out 2 days ago.
check the bootloader driver when you're in fastboot. Right click it and update driver, it should be the Android Bootloader 9.00, and not Bootloader 11.00
it's a silly weird fix, but it should be under Android and not Kedacom
I was using the Android SDK Studio Platform Tools and Google Drivers provided from SDK Studio

Similiar to the previous users post I'll try and be a bit more clear.
unplug your device if plugged in.
boot in to fastboot mode on your device.
Go to your PC and access device manager
plug your device in and you should see
"kedacom" instead of android interface
now inside you wanna click update driver
browse my compute for driver software > let me pick from a list of driver software > "Android adb sooner interface"
if its not that exact one check for the one that does say adb interface.

I created a bootable USB drive with Linux Mint to solve my problem. It was Windows 10 that would recognize my OnePlus 3 in "Fastboot Mode" with Kedacom drivers.
So I'm running windows 10 on my pc and my op3 is easily found by windows. When I enter fastboot mode on my op3, the command "fastboot devices" doesn't show my op3. I used that 15 sec adb & fastboot installer.

Have you enabled oem unlocking from developer options?
I'm having the same problem. After going back to Oxygen OS (now 3.5.4) from MIUI 8 fastboot just doesn't work anymore. ABD works just fine (tried on Minimal ABD and Fastboot on Windows and ABD installed over Android Studio on Ubuntu. Fastboot did recognize the phone on Ubuntu but flashing TWRP resolved in a bootloop (tried the old and the new recovery image).
All drivers are installed on both Windows and Ubuntu (I even removed all drivers on Windows and added them again) and just to make sure everything gets installed I disabled driver signature verification on Windows, but as I said - still no luck.
Edit: Of course USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking is enabled (my bootloader is also unlocked since I already had tried out multiple roms)
Had the same Problem, Win10 is the Problem + the old OP Drivers + the new Update to Win10 etc.
Nothing worked, tryed everything. Created a Thread last week here also...
After that i created a new Partition and installed Win7 on it. All works fine, only thing is while Boot ur System u have to pick ur OS or it waits 30sec to boot up but thats ok.
Now i have Win10 for everything and i reboot to win7 for Fastboot/OP3

Didnt tryed the last Tip.

Can't solve your problem, but OP3 fastboot does work in Windows 10. I did have to disable driver signature verification to install the driver in the first place, and you'll have to leave it off for the driver to stay functional, but it definitely works on Win 10.
I dont tryed ur Way, so yes after disable Driver sign. it works like u Said but i did not Test it.
i had the same problem to find the correct adb driver spent many hours but it didnt work so after that last i try to update windows 10 and find adb driver there after updating window its work like charm so all u have to do is just connect ur phone with data transfer mode on and search the window automatic updates .
Same here
It's driving me crazy. I've updated from a rooted stock OS (incl TWRP) via full OTA directly to 3.2.7, which removed TWRP and root.
I now cannot enter a Fastboot mode which detects the USB connection. Thus I can't flash TWRP again and can't root my phone, making lots of apps unusable.
I've tried every suggestion on every thread but nothing works...

Rebooted both devices, OP3 was in fastboot. Then there was a Driver called Oneplus Bootloader Interface (or something similar)

Yeah that one. After disabling the driver signature verification you have to re install it, when it's not disabled windows just doesn't install it although it says it does. After I disabled it Windows actually showed a completely new window during installation to install the driver properly
