okay ... a new question and also soo weird....
I want that my 2 PC´s recognize my device when its in bootloader mode
1º pc recognizes it well and its running UBUNTU.
2ºmy sister´s PC RUNNING WIN7 doesn´t recognize my DHD into bootloader mode.. but if i look the screen of the device the device automatically was changed his status to "HBOOT USB PLUG" but here is the problem:
When windoze7 detects and recognizes my device It issues a sound, but when I connect my DHD it issues different other one, that is to say detects it but it does not recognize her, then the usb mode I cannot use it
but if i boot my dhd and put her in debugging mode and run adb parameters windoze recognizes the device perfectly...
i am not an experienced user in windows
and i don´t know whats the problem. its strange..
any advise?thx in advance
Between you and the stickman you've had every problem going!!
Have you installed HTC Sync onto your sister's PC?
Why haven't you converted her to Ubuntu?

lololol we have a lot of problems Especially with windows i hate it
but she is afraid of not being able to handle it if I am not in house (SHE HAS ANOTHER DHD) in addition she likes the Microsoft OFFICE. LOL (and not open office)
Yes i had installed htc sync drivers, and sdk working well in usb debugging mode with the DHD turned on
Get to the stage you were at before:
fastboot
connect phone to PC
Phone says HBOOT USB PLUG
Using the Android-sdk shell
type
Code:
fastboot devices
Do you get a response?

the problem appears into fastboot and into bootloader
ok in fastboot mode into sdk shell write fastboot devices and shows me a message:
"unable to initialize the aplication because ADBWINAPI.DLL not found
Ok, try this:
Create an Ubuntu live CD.... you can see where I'm going with that one.
Sorry buddy, will need to wait for some other poor sap that uses Windoze to pop along.
There was an old thread I read once and someone solved it by going to device manager and updating drivers or something for the "android device". <<-- Re your new post
Other than that, usual suggestion is try a different USB socket (different side of PC).

good apreciation to the forum mate... LOL
okay... in advance thank´s again to my friend Mr_JMM for help me again (pressing your thank´s button AGAIN lol)
i solved my problem with "winfuck"7 (windows for microsoft´s friends)
ok when i was tried to input a fastboot code the CMD (shell) of windows returned me:
"unable to initialize the program because ADBWINAPI.DLL does not exist...
well i browsed for this file and its a library file for adb.exe commands.
under my experience fastboot parameters shouldn´t be afeccted by the ausence of this file but when i was downloaded it (a zip file with adbwinapi.exe, adbwinusbapi.dll and adb.exe) and i have put it in the folder "tools" of the sdk (Rightly where it shelters fastboot.exe) VOILÀ!!!!
i tried to enter:
"fastboot devices"
and returned to my
"HT.........."
also i tried to rebbot the device from fastboot with
"fastboot reboot" and WORKS WELL!!!!
END OF THIS THREAD.... SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!
When I try to run the "adb devices" command in the cmd prompt, its is just saying "List of devices attached", but the device Nexus 7 (2013) itself is not been listed. I am able to Kill and start the server. "adb reboot" command not working.
I checked the Device manger; It is listing the device as "Google Nexus ADB Interface" !
Also the "USB Debugging" is checked along with "MTP Device"
What could be the problem?? Any issue with drivers. I have already downloaded the adb and fastboot tools in the drive and running the cmd prompt from that path.

It's driver related, install these, then reboot the PC, then with the device plugged in, delete the Google Nexus ADB Interface from within device manager, delete the driver from system if prompted, and leaving the device plugged in, reboot the device, it should redetect the device properly, wait for it to boot up all the way, then unplug the device and plug it back in, and test, you will want to do this for every mode combination, as per my post found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50253887#post50253887
The important part is making sure the device is plugged into your PC and set to the mtp/ptp/debug mode you want detected when you reboot the device after deleting the driver from device manager.

Thank you for helping out. I found what was wrong. The drivers were ok. I had ticked the MTP device option earlier. When I ticked the Camera (PTP) instead, the ADB commands started working. I even rooted and installed custom recovery through adb interface.
Thank u once again.

You're welcome, fwiw, if you follow my suggestions, you can make it so adb works in ptp and mtp, but if it's not important to you, then it's not dire.
I just can't seem to get fastboot to see the phone...
I have a Z00AD2 with 2.19.40.22 software. USB Debugging is turned on. ADB sees the phone, both from my Ubuntu host system, and from a Windows 8.1 virtual machine. When I use "fastboot device" I just get "<waiting for device>" and when I run scripts/batch files (such as the one-click root) it hangs as well.
I'm assuming there's something very simple, and probably obvious, that I'm missing - but after 8hrs of messing with it yesterday, I'm a little fried.
Appreciate any thoughts!
This morning I installed a new Windows8.1 VM, installed the Intel drivers and adb/fastboot from the sticky page in the general forum. During adb/fastboot install, should I use the drivers provided if I've already installed the Intel version? I think I've tried both ways at this point... Plug the phone in, and it is recognized in adb. Fastboot displays "waiting for device".
I tried the one-click root batch file, and when running CheckBeforeAction.bat my phone restarts into fastboot mode, with the android opened-up on its back, and the batch file continues to "make sure 'asus android bootloader interface' installed on your computer successfully" (I'm not sure it is? I don't see any reference to it anywhere...).
If I proceed further I get the "if you see '123456789 ... fastboot' then you are ready to root" message - where is that supposed to display? On the phone's screen? Finally I hit a key and the batch file says it's rebooting my phone, and it gets stuck on <waiting for device>
Again, I'm sure I'm missing something simple; but I just can't figure what step(s) I'm missing.
Solved the problem, at least in terms of running fastboot on my virtual machine... I had only set up one device filter in VirtualBox, for the phone when it was in it's normal state. When in fastboot mode it uses a different driver, and thus needed a second device filter set up - once I did that, everything went smoothly as far as adb and fastboot functionality go. Having trouble now with flashing twrp...
UPDATE: Got it working on a windows 7 machine.
I've been trying to unlock my bootloader but have been having issues. I have done the following:
- Enabled Developer Options
- Enabled USB Debugging
- Enabled the OEM Unlock in the Developer Options
- Installed drivers via android SDK
I have adb and fastboot installed from the android SDK. Using that, I have been able to see my device with 'adb devices'. I have also been able to reboot it using 'adb reboot bootloader'. However, once the phone is in fastboot, it does not seem to be detected by my machine. I have tried 'fastboot devices' to no avail. Using 'fastboot oem unlock' just stalls at '< waiting for device >'. Am I missing something?
I have also tried:
- Using a different computer
- Using different USB ports
- Using different ADB / fastboot package (the minimal one).
Please assist! I'd really like to unlock my bootloader now for future flexibility.
There do appear to be new fastboot commands. Not sure if "fastboot devices" should work or not, but "fastboot oem unlock" has been replaced with "fastboot flashing unlock"
Try downloading and installing the latest USB drivers with the SDK manager if you have not yet.
Then go into the device manager (win+x -> device manager)
search for something named like android or simmilar (i dont own a n5x so i cant help you with that)
right click -> update driver software -> browse computer -> pick from list -> have a disk -> browse
now you should see an openfile dialog. driver is in: android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
hit open and select "android adb interface" (not composite)

For some reason i thought that only applied to the 6p. Regardless, I just tried that command and it does the same ' <waiting for device >'.

Well, I did previously do that where I selected the drivers from the downloaded directory (from google's website). Looking in the device manager, while the device is booted up (not in the bootloader), I see two entries. One in Portable Devices as Nexus 5x, and one in Android Device as "Android Composite ADB Interface". I can't seem to get it to NOT be composite. That driver keeps reappearing even if i try to uninstall it.

The Nexus 5x entry is the MTP interface I guess. The other one would be the ADB interface. For the other one: I had the same problem with a galaxy nexus once when i uses outdated drivers. When you update the dirver there is a checkbox called sth like show only compatible drivers try checking/unchecking that if redular adb interface doesnt show up. Anyhow, i uploaded you the most recent USB drivers just in case. www32.zippyshare(dot)com/v/hloEVk9l/file.html
Install the normal adb interface one while you are in the bootloader and try unlock afterwards with either "fastboot oem unlock" or the new "fastboot flashing unlock"

A few more updates.....
When the USB option is set to "Charging", the device does show up as "Google Nexus ADB Interface". When I select PTP, it shows up as the "Android Composite ADB Interface". I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and that didnt seem to help. When the device is in the bootloader, it shows up in the computer's device manager as "Android". Is that normal? I had windows search for a driver in the drivers folder you uploaded but it didnt find any compatible one.
Still not working

Yes this is normal. For the bootloader part, do not let windows search automaticly. Do as i described earlier exept use the driver i uploaded for you or search any other nexus usb driver install guide since the process did not change
Same applies to the installation when you are in the system already. Exept do not override any driver that is under portable devices since its the file transfer protocoll driver.
I succeeded! To be honest - I'm not entirely sure how / why it worked. What I did was install ADB and fastboot from Here on a windows 7 desktop. I was able to detect the device in ADB and reboot to the bootloader. The first time I tried to run fastboot oem unlock failed. The fastboot flashing unlock didnt work and didnt seem to be recognized. I was about to give up, but ran fastboot oem unlock again and that time it worked.
Not sure exactly what that was about, but success! Thanks!

Solution on Linux
I had a similar problem earlier today on one of my linux boxes. Turns out, in order to use fastboot (successfully) under linux, you need to run fastboot with sudo rights.
If I had to guess, I'd guess this is because unlike adb, fastboot doesn't run as a server, so fastboot always needs to get elevated permissions to communicate with a device on a USB port.
Maybe it's possible that Windows wants Administrator rights for similar reasons?

Sorry, I really don't have any more feedback to give you. It really did seem like voodoo when it worked. The only thing I can think to explain the "random" aspect is that perhaps it is related to the quality of cable used. I was using these (http://www.amazon.com/Orzly-Type-Cables-Assorted-Colours/dp/B013RMG5WY/ref=cm_rdp_product), which have now been taken down due to cable standards as described in the comments section for that product. I was thinking that maybe the different USB port on the desktop machine was somehow able to get sufficient voltage or something. Voodoo!
I am having the exact same issue with my 6P right now. However it shows when I do adb devices, just not fastboot devices. Weird...
I even uninstalled the Google USB driver and reinstalled it using Android Studio but Still did not work. Then I even went to Device Manager and uninstalled and deleted the driver. Then went manually to file path C:\Users\MyWindowsLoginName\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver and clicked next. It installed successfully, but displays as Android Composite ADB Interface. So I guess that is correct then?
Tried to just sideload the new 6.0.1 OTA update using adb since adb devices was recongizing it but still not found...
C:\Users\Matthew\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb sideload angler-MMB29M-from-MDB08L.zip
loading: 'angler-MMB29M-from-MDB08L.zip'
error: device '(null)' not found
EDIT: I got it after unplugging my phone, killing the adb.exe process in task manager, waiting until in bootloader before plugging phone in, then running fastboot devices shows the serial number now. I hope that helps others!
I am having this same issue of not being able to install the fastboot driver on Nexus 5X in W7. ADB driver installed no problem, but attaching the 5x in fastboot mode results in "android" device appearing in device manager with no driver installed and no way to install drivers. I have tried every solution suggested in this thread ... re-installing Android SDK, direct installing via device manager, different cables/ports, updating java, running fastboot w/ admin rights, and a few others. Any other suggestions?
I had the same trouble on my 64 bit Windows system. I believe it was HTC sync software that threw the monkey wrench. But I uninstalled that software together with all the adb fastboot drivers for my other devices, removed all adb fastboot versions, then installed the 64 bit version of the Minimal adb fastboot tool.
All good now

I think I had the exact same issue. ADB works perfectly fine, but while the phone is in fastboot mode, it shows up in Windows Device Manager as "Android" without a driver. I had to manually "force" install the driver to fix this:
1. right click -> "Update Driver Software..."
2. "Browse my computer for driver software"
3. "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
4. "Android Device"
5. Pick "Android Bootloader Interface Version: 11.0.0.0 [8/28/2014]" (you may get a warning for this from Windows, just OK it)

Man. That was it. Worked like a charm. Thank you.
To clarify, you do this while you are in Fastboot Mode and you right-click on "Android" in step 1.
You can go through the steps while you are in Fastboot Mode and with the cable still plugged in.

Hello people of the tech world,
Im going spastic over here trying to install Lineage OS on my Xperia.
I looked into 'wiki.lineageos' and 'android geek' and followed the steps....
I have unlocked bootloader, got the code, unlocked oem, downloaded ADB fastboot package (platform tools) from lineage website and (two other websites later on just in case there was a difference), I opened PowerShell from the folder where I unziped the platform tools and powershell says instead of "adb" I gotta write .\adb.... after that a whole buncha text comes out. I typed .\adb devices and it showed me a device. However after going into 'adb reboot bootloader' nothing else works, when I type 'fastboot devices' it says its waiting. When I try to add the code, it doesnt recognize anything.
My computer cmd doesnt register adb at all nor anything after that.
At this point I also have minimal a&f and I tried 15sec ADB which did nothing because it says it cannot find the path. So I tried going into Environment Variables and creating path with the copy/paste technique to the "user variable" AND "system variable" AND creating new paths in each and also paste into existing paths in each. Only thing I didnt try is to put paths everywhere in the same time! and each time I created a path I tried the 15sec adb and it kept saying theres no path.
Minimal ADB works nearly the same as PowerShell and it says the same thing.
Also in the meantime I downloaded Xperia Usb drivers and tried to install it but it has exclamation marks and atm I have no mental capacity to deal with it. It says code 10. and Im in code red >_<" .
In the device manager I see my Xperia under portable devices, and the connection between my phone and laptop works fine, even the Companion works.
Im using HP laptop, win 10 and my Xperia version is 9. Help pls.
