Hello,
I wanted to update one SE Arc Experia already running cm7, but with a few months old Rom.
fastboot is not detecting my device, and I have no ideas why. After a few hours of search, I am still unable to fastboot it.
Arc is running fine with cm7.2.0 with FXP Kernel, debug is ON.
I am on Ubuntu 11.10, and everything is correctly set up. I already flashed Rom & Kernel in the past. The file 51-android.rules is in /etc/udev/rules.d.
Code:
#SE Arc Xperia
SUBSYSTEMS==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”0fce″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”014f″, OWNER:="gabx", GROUP:="plugdev", MODE=”0666″
the usb is working :
Code:
[email protected]:~/Xperia/xperia$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0fce:0dde Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
fastboot executable is in my box, with correct permission. The fastboot command works.
The phone is correctly in download mode, with the blue led (turn off, press menu, plug USB).
When I fastboot devices, I have no entry :
Code:
[email protected]:~/Xperia/xperia$ fastboot devices
[email protected]:~/Xperia/xperia$
Weird, the -i 0x0fce option doesn't seems correct:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Xperia/xperia$ fastboot -i 0x0fce devices
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
.../.... list here of all otions and command
Sudoing doesn't change anything.
Code:
[email protected]:~/Xperia/xperia$ fastboot reboot
< waiting for device >
The device is not detected. Why ??
TY for any help
EDIT
As I couldn't fastboot my device, I placed the boot.img from cm7 update on my sdcard. then from terminal emulator on my device:
Code:
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
Then reboot in recovery, but now black screen, can't boot at all!!

Funny how I lost a whole day investigating the same issue Answer: invalid fastboot binary. Use this one

Don't use flash_image, it doesn't work with Xperias

TY so much. Yes, a lot of wasting time, checking everything on my Linux box!! Your answer is nice to me, as I was doubting about my Linux set up, and now I feel safe.
I managed to settle everything today on a Winodows box, in just 15 mn! Fastbooted boot.img, flashed update from sdcard, et hop!
TY for the binary. I will use it next time on my Linux box.
fastboot -i 0x0fce devices

shouldnt it be
Code:
fastboot -i 0xfce devices
instead?
try running
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce
.
You might also require running it as root. At least that's what i'm forced to do everytime, i guess it has sth to do with the udev entry but not sure what.
Also running as root means i'm not able to use tools like FlashTool, but if you just need fastboot, it will probably work.

You need to add the udev rule mentioned in OP and it will work for regular users too.
Code:
#SE Arc Xperia
SUBSYSTEMS==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”0fce″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”014f″, OWNER:="yourusernamehere", GROUP:="plugdev", MODE=”0666″
Also, I don't use 'fastboot -i 0x0fce' (just fastboot <command>) and it still works fine

Agree totally, no need sudoing, neither use option. As previoulsy mentioned, a wrong binary was the only culprit. Usually, fastboot is trivial in Linux, with the only condition being the correct android rules in /etc/udev.
I'm trying to change the kernel (with DooMKernel) on my Arc.
I installed the ADB drivers (at least I hope ), in fact, when I plug in my arc in my device manager I can read:
-Android phone
->Android ADB Interface
So, when i tryed with fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version command, it's ok, I get a response back.
With fastboot flash boot boot.img, I get the "waiting for device"
What's the problem??
try type fastboot flash boot boot.img
But that won't flash the kernel...

All drivers is on this file .
extract file and open the file" fastboot_with_Android_USB_file" ,so press shift and clic right bouton from mouse on the file fastboot, in the menu shoose "open the window command here".
The sreen CMD automaticly is opening .so you can write fastboot flash boot boot.img.

Sorry, but the DRIVERS ARE OK, my phone is recognized as ADB interface!!!

Instead with the command fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img it's works perfectly

so what i'm doing wrong!

I got the same problem. I'm using Windows 8 and I got "waiting for device" error. I tried to write "-i 0xfce" but it didn't work. How can I fix this ?

How I can flash it manually?
Copy the boot.img to the same dir as the fastboot.exe file is. Point in the folder with the mouse and hold shift + click the right mouse button. Then select open command window here
Put the phone in the bootloader and type this in the command window :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (enter)
Fastboot erase cache (enter)

Hi folks.
I'm trying to root my phone (ZE551ML - 2.83Ghz and 4Gb Ram) with method 3 in this thread (Using Ubuntu 14.04.1 with installed ADB 1.0.32 and android-tools-fastboot) but the script Root.sh gives me this error:
./adb.mac: 1: ./adb.mac: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
And the script is not rooting the phone.
Then i tryed to do things manually and observed that after i hit the 'adb reboot bootloader' (so i can flash the files like the script would do) the phone reboots into fastboot mode but the 'adb devices' or 'fastboot devices' didnt show my phone anymore - or anything.
Tried to do the same with phone in recovery mode and got the same result.
Can anyone help me?
Did I miss anything?
Ps. My Bootloader is locked and i have no intention of unlocking it yet.

The comands in the Python Script are:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash /system/bin/resize2fs magic
fastboot flash /system/bin/tune2fs busybox
fastboot flash /system/bin/partlink supersu.tgz
fastboot oem start_partitioning
fastboot flash /system/bin/logcat installer
fastboot oem stop_partitioning
The thing is that fastboot doesnt recognize my device after the 'adb reboot bootloader' and the message 'waiting for the device' gets stuck.
If you look into the thread you'll see that the 7th answer (user orlapalm) has the same unsolved issue.
Guess the solution is used somebody elses PC with Windows since there's no way to use Ubuntu on This phone.
Try this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash /system/bin/resize2fs magic
fastboot flash /system/bin/tune2fs busybox
fastboot flash /system/bin/partlink supersu.tgz
fastboot oem start_partitioning
fastboot flash /system/bin/logcat installer
fastboot oem stop_partitioning
Save as root.sh and try again.

I know how a script works but seems that Zf2 needs the Fasboot v1.0.32 - Witch i dont find anywhere.
Fastboot v1.0.31 (installed with apt-get install android-tools-fastboot) doesnt recognize the Zenfone 2 on Ubuntu.
Maybe because the USB device is not recognized, what does lsusb say before and after the reboot in bootloader?

lsusb (before reboot)
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0b05:5601 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.
lsusb (after reboot)
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0b05:4daf ASUSTek Computer, Inc. Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 (Fastboot)
Fastboot cmds:
~$ fastboot continue
< waiting for device >
~$ fastboot reboot
< waiting for device >
Ps. After this I saw that device code is different after (0b05:4daf) and before (0b05:5601) reboot so i added the permission for this 'new dvice' in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and now fastboot seems to recognize my phone.
