New Computer Fastboot Issues - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently upgraded from a prebuilt to my own i5-6500 and 1070 build, and everything was going great until I needed to use fastboot to flash Pixelrom. To my surprise my device was not found. ADB works perfectly fine, and I've tried the regular SDK Dev Tools, the Universal ADB/Fastboot Drivers, and even the Pixelrom's inbuilt fastboot to no avail. I'm not really sure what could be causing this issue because I installed the SDK and drivers the same as my original computer ( Which I have to switch to now if I want to use fastboot ). I've tried multiple ports on my computer with no change.
Feel free to make some suggestions or ask for logs, etc.!

Try the nexus root toolkit. In it there is a way to check for fastboot connection and how fix it. I believe it will be easier if you do it that way

While in fastboot, go into device manager, and manually install an older version of the drivers, mine had a few versions to list from

[Q] Correct (latest?) drivers/ADB for Vision

Hi guys
I did own a Sapphire/Magic back in the days and came back to Android after some skipping done during the last year. Back then installing usb drivers and adb was easy: plug in the Sapphire, point Windows to the drivers folder, done.
With the Vision/Desire Z it was much more complicated. I did use the old drivers from back then and ran into problems. Device manager had an ADB device listed, ADB couldn't find it though. Once I got it working in Android, it wouldn't interface with the recovery adb though. Once I got that working, it wouldn't show/mount the SD card anymore. Short: a huge mess.
Right now I have everything more or less working (still using the old drivers I used with the Sapphire) but it's not really right, I tried an RUU the other day and it would fail because my ADB/RUU ADB/Driver combination wouldn't match.
Long story short: where did you guys get your drivers from to interface the Vision with ADB/Fastboot?
Update the SDK ...this time its in platform tools. run the sdk update and download the usb drivers. Refresh your SDK.
If you don't want to do that...then install pdanet just to grab the drivers
Or go to cyanogenmod the drivers may be avail in a post from ciwrl in vision.dz download section.
All right, I'm d/ling the Java JDK as prompted by the latest SDK installer
Thanks!
I did this too (SDK + Platform tools) to get ADB/shell. However, I never got fastboot to work (even tried fastboot-mac). Not sure what I was missing, but flashing via SD (including radio) has been working thus far for me. Any recommendations on where to get more info on "fastboot" process, specifically on a Mac?
Hmm... you did notice that the fastboot binary is - at least on Windows - in a different folder than ADB, right?
On Windows its two different paths pointing to either ADB or Fastboot.

[Q] One X-specific solution for fastboot under Windows 8

I tried numerous "solutions" floating around this site and web on how to get fastboot working again on my Windows 8 RTM 64bit with HOX on CM10 ROM. ADB and USB memory are working, but fastboot does nothing. Of course have driver signature off in Windows. Currently back to original HTC driver in order to have at least USB memory working reliably.

Have you tried to kill adb process?
Ctrl+Alt+Del -> Task Manager -> More details
Click on adb process and then hit "End Task" button
Then open cmd and try to run fastboot again.
Thanks for the suggestion, but does not work - waiting for device...
You sure you have the correct USB ADB/Fastboot drivers installed? I had to boot into a special Win* mode to install unsigned drivers.
This thread here should detail it for you. Post 2 covers the unsigned drivers part.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583801
Yes, had done that previously, too. For me fastboot is working (adb always was) since I use the latest one from the Android SDK.
i just installed these drivers and it worked

[Q] ADB not recognizing device

I just bought a new computer yesterday, after installing the lightweight adb/fastboot program to my dell inspiron windows 8.1 laptop. I realized when I try to see the devices connected to adb by the command : adb devices, the only that pops up is list of devices attached, but show nothing. Here's the guide I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778239
I'm guessing it has something to do with the drivers.....any help appreciated......
Here's the link I used to installed minimal adb and fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Try uninstalling HTC Sync and any HTC drivers, then try to re-install, and see if that helps.
If no, uninstall any HTC software and drivers. Connect phone, go to Device Manager, and see if the device shows up. If so, select the option to manually select drivers (ignore any prompts to automatically install HTC Sync, etc.) and pick the Generic Android MTP drivers.
See if that works, although Win 8.1 has been known to be more problematic connecting to this device than previous Win builds.
Well I finally got it to work..I never installed the HTC sync software. I found a good link of compatible drivers for my 8.1. I didn't realize the phone had to be in bootloader mode to use fastboot commands though. That's a new thing forbme. If I remember correctly, I could use fastboot commands while the android was in its GUI/ROM format...
I've already switched cid yo gpe cod, but I'm probably going yo switch to dev edition

Fastboot commands only work in fastboot mode. Its always been this way.
adb commands work in the OS or recovery, but not in bootloader or fastboot.
For some reason I was thinking the opposite...god, I'm retarded. I went ahead,and downloaded the entire SDK anyhow. Everything's up to speed

Adb recognizes devices during phone on state, but not in fastboot.

Okay so now that I've scanned pretty much all of what the internet has to offer on this issue, I'm helpless and forced to write a new thread here about this.
Yes, a similar question has been replied to a million times before, but absolutely none of that helped, made no difference whatsoever.
So earlier, I was on the stock rom, with TWRP flashed and root access. But wanted to switch to the community build. Tried the twrp trick to install the CB but that didn't work, so flashed the stock OP3 rom and flashed community build.
All went fine, until I tried flashing back TWRP. Used the traditional ADB method of doing that, seemed to have flashed it but tried going into recovery only to be presented with a black screen. I got fed up of that trying to fix it for a whole day so I just left it, because I could still boot into the OS and that worked fine.
Fast forward to about a week later; somehow the flash didn't work and I still have stock recovery. Now I try flashing TWRP again, but I discover that my device doesn't get detected in fastboot. It absolutely refuses to.
It DOES, however, gets detected in the OS just fine.
I've tried every which way, absolutely NOTHING seems to work AT ALL.
- OEM unlocking is checked, if that makes a difference
- USB debugging is turned on
- Uninstalled all USB drivers related to the device, and installed them via device manager (but it gave me this error:
"the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64-based systems)
seeing as I'm on an x64 version of Windows (its worked before with my Nexus 5, I swear)
- Tried it with different adb fastboot files, from all over the internet. All of them show just that blank space after I type in 'adb devices'
- Installed universal adb drivers.
- Samsung drivers.
- Obviously the official OnePlus drivers.
- Used Usbdeview to uninstall / force stop and re-installed the drivers.
- All in one tool
Now I'm thinking, I should try to re-lock the bootloader and unlock it again, or do like hard rest sort of things. I have no idea though, how this would affect the detection in fastboot.
Anyone have any ideas? Because I'm out of all of them, and so is most of internet.
TL;DR - Adb devices detects phone while booted in OS, but not in fastboot. Tried all methods, nothing works. Going to do lock bootloader then unlock it and try again, if not that then going to do a clean wipe and install the community build again, hoping that would work. Should I?

Hmmm Windows 7.
I can most certainly try that but the real question now is; how the hell did it work previously on my Windows 10 machine and refuses to work now? But at least I have a solution to try out, in the mean time! Thanks!

You need modified twrp by @eng.sdk.

I am having a similar issue. I have a brand new OP3. Everything stock. I'm attempting to unlock the bootloader and have found that while ADB recognises the phone, Fastboot doesn't. I'm pretty sure it's a driver issue and I have no idea how to fix.

I'm afraid you've missed the point, my friend.
If the phone does not get detected in the fastboot, it means I cannot flash anything, period. No original TWRP, no modified TWRP.
I had this exact issue and fixed it.
Fastboot would never see my device, no matter which driver package I tried or no matter how I tried to install or force the correct drivers. Turns out Windows 10 (and Windows 8) has a feature that completely prevents installation of unsigned drivers, which blocks the fastboot driver. If you're seeing "Kedracom" or "Android Device" in the device manager, then your driver is NOT actually installed. This is true even if Windows doesn't throw you an error message during install, or if you appear to force the installation. Even though it looks like you're doing the install correctly, Windows just ignores your unsigned drivers.
You need to temporarily disable the security feature to permit installation of unsigned drivers. This involves invoking a special restart function. Here's the howto for Win10: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-...igned-drivers/
Once you've done this, on the next reboot you can do a forced install of the unsigned fastboot drivers you downloaded for the OP3. And simply rebooting your computer restores the security feature.
It's mostly because of the windows security over unsigned drivers.. Try the above method or just the cmd way..

Question F3 TWRP fastboot not detecting Win11

My ADB works fine but not getting a fastboot devices detect for TWRP fastboot.
I also see driver missing in device manager on Win11 but none of various versions of Google ADB, Xiaomi, etc drivers I have tried seem to match the hardware it thinks its detecting
It did work prior with stock recovery fastboot.
Prior there was some Win 11 driver signing issue for fastboot drivers.. But I have Shift rebooted and disabled driver signature enforcement, which was what worked last time, but its not helping with TWRP.
Anything obvious to suggest here ??
Poco F3 with TWRP cant detect fastboot.
windows 11 is still on its embryonic stage expect some bugs and compatibility issue, try reinstalling all drivers of your poco f3 but before that, you need to disable driver signature enforcement before reinstalling drivers search on google on how to disable this matter
I have done that though.. Rebooted with driver signature turned off (thats what worked last time) and added / removed phone.. rebooted phone.. Tried manually reinstalling same drivers, new drivers, searching for drivers, etc..
Can TWRP need any different driver pairing than the stock recovery drivers ??
Worked straight away when stock.

Have you tried to install the drivers present on the miflash program with the Windows driver signature disabled? If that doesn't work either, I think the problem is your win 11. I tried win 11 last month and with those drivers and sdk platform tools the phone was well recognized in fastboot

Will give this a go..
Can I 'update driver' and point it at the file folder or does this need re-installing the miflash app ?

you could try, however miflash doesn't need installation you just need to unzip it. you can also try to change USB port better if rear and 2.0
Strange I thought I replied in here this morning..
Anyway.. Got it going.. Disabled driver checking.. Then forced 'from disk' and manually pushed it to use the xiaomi drivers.. It wouldnt auto detect or even find the drivers when pointed at the disk, btu the prior install version worked and now both adb and fastboot working even when booted with driver checking on.
