I want to remove 'fastboot' from my device, because every time I try to enter 'Download mode' it goes into 'fastboot mode'.

Would a full reset/flash of OEM solve the problem? Seems doubtful it is a hardware issue, providing all of the buttons work normally at all other times..
Ask @rodrigofd, he seems to have had a great hands-on with removing fastboot
You cannot remove fastboot. Fastboot is a fundamental part of android.
What you want to do is to stop your G3 from botting into fastboot instead of download mode, to do this you have to do the reverse of what you did to enable fastboot mode in the first place.
To enable fastboot on the G3 you have to remove the LAF partition (download mode), so to get download mode back you have to restore the LAF partition. There are plenty of threads on xda explaining this process, just go to any of the fastboot threads, or any of the roms threads where a tethered rom is required.
I already found a way to fix it, still using fastboot mode. But I was able to flash trough LG Flash Tool 2014. I didn't have to delete my partitions or so what. If someone is interested in a tutorial send a reply here or a PM and I will make one!

This method is temporary. If you want to put your device in DOWNLOAD mode from cmd, this method is for you. Seach over google for Send_Command.exe file. Once you got this file, Go to directory where you have this file. Hold shift key & right click, in context menu, click on "open command window here". Then Type this command "Send_Command \\.\Port#" e.g. "Send_Command \\.\COM6" (You can find port number from device manager). If command executed successfully, you'll see a msg something like "ENTER, LEAVE". cmd cursor is blinking next to # symbol. Just type ENTER. Your device will rebooted to DOWNLOAD mode. I'll use this method because my device volume up key is not functioning properly. I hope this helps.

I have F460L recently. It get bricked. When i turn it on, it goes to fastboot mode. I didn't find necessary files for F460 variants to debrick. So, i take my device to local market, there's a guy, he fixed my device. After that, my device is working. Device get back its DOWNLOAD mode (fastboot gone). So you try flashing stock firmware. I hope, this works for you.
Also, check whether your device goes to DOWNLOAD mode or not. If DOWNLOAD mode working, then its beautiful. Otherwise, your partitions are corrupted. You then flash *.imgs or *.bin files from fastboot mode (You can find thread on XDA about that). Before doing anything, search a lot. Write down any steps, you are going to do. Because, if you are not clear, then this will create more problem.

Probably you soft bricked your phone. I got into a similar situation when I applied OTA after root. Dont worry, its very easy to recover your phone. It should be able to boot in Fasboot mode. If it does, follow follow this guide:
.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-unbrick-asus-zenfone-2-works-on-ota-fail-too-82039/ (Add www at the start)
Download the latest pre-rooted system .img from here:
mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw
Download the stuff needed and then just follow the guide. Hopefully you recover your device. Best of luck!
EDIT: Forgot to add but did you install the adb drivers? Probably thats the reason Fastboot and adb dont detect it. Or did you go into the fastboot mode in the phone? If not, do that first. To do it, follow these steps:
1. Power your device down.
2. Press and hold the power and volume up button.
3. Release the power button when it vibrates.
4. Release the volume up button once the ASUS splashscreen appears.
5. Now the device should be in Fasboot mode.
6. Then connect your phone to your PC (dont forget to install the drivers!) using the USB Cable and go to the folder where the flashtools are.
7. Hold Shift and right click > then click open command window here
8. Type "fastboot devices". Enter the command two times. (Cause the first time it will start daemon or something like that)
If your device shows up, congrats! You are in fastboot mode and it is working.
now what do i do
i do not know what ferwere i am on and my recovery is broken how to i get it up and runing

Hey,
Could you please help me (or anyone for that matter).....I've soft bricked my phone and I'm a little weary about following any other steps incase I fully brick the phone.
I have a Zenfone 2 that was CN Z00A 2.20.40.63 , I tried to root because random chinese apps kept downloading on my phone and obv it soft bricked (kept looping at boot).....since then I have tried a lot of stuff without luck and my brain is fried from all the information.... I went to the recovery mode but ADP couldn't find my phone and then I loaded a recovery image on my SD calling it MOFD_SD.ZIP but that didn't work due to signature verification error. Now after reading what you wrote I can see that fastboot is recognizing my device....I would go through with the process but I'm afraid if I screw this one up it could be the end of fastboot working and therefore me being royally screwed.
Since my phone was naturally CN Z00A 2.20.40.63 I'm wondering if the pre-rooted images on the site you mentioned above will work? There is no download for CN Z00A 2.20.40.63 and I want to know whether it's safe to use CN Z00A 2.20.40.61 (or a WW image) or whether I have to try another option (if you have any suggestions).
If anyone could reply with help it would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm not sure if it'll work but check this out (Scroll down to No. 4 - Changing from CN to WW version):
forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
I'm no expert, but to be honest the state your device is in, I don't see any other options. Because when my device (it had WW firmware) got soft-bricked, I followed the guide by androidsoul and it did recover my phone. Not sure about yours since its a CN one.
If you like living on the edge and are really desperate, go ahead try this out, if not, better wait for someone with more knowledge then me.
EDIT: I forgot but since ADB isn't working, you can't use this method. So the only option I see that you have is flashing a pre-rooted rom.
Hi, i played around with my new OP3, and i wanted to root it. Since i'm noob at rooting, it went wrong. (i did it with twrp)
So first it just went in to bootloop, then i was still able to get to rcovery and stuff, but i followed a guide to fix bootloop, and that ****ed it even more up. The guide i followedet told me to use "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool"
After using "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool", i now cant even go into recovery anymore, the only thing i can do is go to bootloader, but when i'm in bootloader now, it wont connect proberly, so that i can use "flash twrp", so that i can use twrp recovery.
Also when i try to boot it, it because of "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool" goes into something, where it says "md5 checksum failed", and then restarts and does it again and again.....
I hope it's not bricked forever, pls help ))
have you tried re-flashing the stock or twrp recovery with adb sideload command?
if not give it a shot, it might work.

And how do you say I do that? I have tried using the "tool all in one", where you han flash both stock and twrp, but it doesnt seem to do anything, when i press them (and the device is in bootloader)

Just boot into bootloader mode and through command prompt check if your phone is detected by typing fastboot devices. If its detected then you flash a new recovery again. Forget the toolkit, just look for instructions on how to install a custom recovery.

In fastboot mode, did you manage to find your device on the computer? On Linux this is "sudo fastboot devices", on Windows it should be roughly similar.

Hey!
I'm not the expert but I have played with my 1+3 enough to have some knowledge.
First of all, do not use "all in one tools", those do not put you in control.
Cool, so fastboot is detected, though you can't get into the recovery?
Step 1) make sure you have the latest version of "fastboot" and "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) and unlock the bootloader. This tread should be helpfull: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733
You need to do this, because otherwise we will not be able to proceed (i.e. the phone is to be 'unlocked' for what we are about to do).
Step 2) If you are ready than let's flash a new recovery (TWRP):
This is also step 2 in the thread mentioned above. Very important: "Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed."
So once you have flashed a new recovery using fastboot, than you should reboot your phone into the new recovery!
step 3)
Once in the new recovery (TWRP) go to advanced and to ADB sideload. Make sure your computer detects your device with the command "adb devices" and flash a new ROM. Just for simplicity use the official OOS 3.2.4.
This should do the trick. Before you go and try make sure you understand EVERYTHING I have written. Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you, but i have not enabled "allow oem unlocking" in the developer settings when the phone worked, so i get a error message "FAILED (remote: oem unloc is not allowed)
What to do to unlock it then?
Bro, download 3.2.4 oos rom zip file from official link. Its around 1.3 GB. Just connect ur OP3 to computer. It will detect as MTP device.Im my computer it was in the name of RAIN Transfer the zip file to internal storage. Wipe cache. And select install option in TWRP and select the zip file u pushed and flash it. Best of luck..

Hey i have the same problem but this fix does not work for me.
So I have the bootloader unlocked and I can enter the bootload and my computer detects my device which is nice.
when I flash twrp on my phone trough CMD it doesnt work, my PC tells me that everything is okay but my phone will not boot into twrp and instead it will give me weird errors.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
this fix worked for me,
On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.
- download this : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424942573
and then extract.
- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.
- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.
- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here
- type fastboot devices
- make sure your serial number appear.
- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.
- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.
- make sure you flash all the missing partition.
- type fastboot reboot.
this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.
unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA
goodluck mate. sorry for my english

Hmm bad try installing all op3 drivers and see whether phone is detected or not. I was in the same situation previously. Pushing zip through adp terminal is painful process. I got device offline first,after solving that i got service not recognized issue. For solving that usb debugging needs to be enabled i stuck in that step.
can you enter recovery trough fastboot mode? I.e. if you are in fastboot mode you van use the volume keys to select recovery.
100% sure you can't enter recovery?
you can try Fast and pro's option. let us know!
phone is dead
when plug in for charging it shows charging logo then restart and restart again. loop
second when i try to go in recovery , again it restart never go to recovery.
i can only access fastboot option.
i never try to root or unlock bootloader.
my phone is locked.

1. What phone model? What version of firmware 5.0.2 or 6.0.1?
Yes, same this with me. 6.0. I tried reset, but reset is not working. So I unlocked device , installed twrp, but twrp sometimes starts and only for few seconds. Mostly phone is either stuck in logo, or just shuts down after boot vibration. No luck in recovery. My phone crashed suddenly and got into this situation.

You have to register.
For Windows: Install HTC drivers, HTC Sync Manager(optional), fastboot, adb.
For linux: Install android-tools
Put phone into Hboot -> Fastboot.
Connect to PC and from cmd/terminal you have to execute commands as told by HTC site.
> fastboot oem get_identifier_token
This will give you a string , copy paste from '<<Identifier Token start>>' to '<<Token End>>' , only this column, no prefix.
Paste this into website. There will be text box while following steps.
You will get a file in email attachment. It will be something like this 'Unlock_code.bin'
And also the link to further steps will be provided.
> fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
You will get option on phone screen. 'Yes' 'No'. Use volume button and select Yes.
and its done.

Yes it happens sometimes.
Make sure the recovery step was complete. For win: The .exe cmd should exit on clicking enter or automatic, till then don't remove the phone.
Try some combinations:
- turn phone OFF from Hboot then start recovery
- if screen shows 'entering recovery' let it be , wait for reboot or shutdown
- try alternative options of 'reset' and 'recovery' both will get you to twrp
- remove sdcard then try
- check charging
- don't try if overheating, let the phone be in normal temperature.
I had similar problem, but trying combos started twrp.
The mistake I did was to wipe everything. Don't do that, try to wipe cache, the first default option provided by twrp and start phone. (no sdcard/sim)
I was able to install Tomal's Discovery ROM but after some time phone again rebooted and stuck in loop.
For any restore/flash use internal memory. SDcard failed to work for me ( i tried many different sdcards).
Hi,
I have a unique problem. I cant go into fastboot. Yes, fastboot on my OPT is not a opltion.
I cant instal TWRP. I can't wipe the OS to flash a new one.
My question is this:
Is there a way to wipe the partitions on a android phone via windows or something?
This problem is created by me. Somehow I flash OOS over CM (??)
So when my phone boots (bootloader is unlocked) I will see 2 boot sequences wich prevents me from accesing the fastboot menu.
The solution I see is this: Enter TWRP --> Wipe all but USB-OTG ...
Anyway, I hope there is a android Einstein here because I'm at a loss..
Feel free to ask any questions and pls help me!

Here you can find a recovery guide:

I'd recommend methode 2, because it seems more east to do.
Good luck!

If you are getting two boot screens, please confirm if this is what you see in your first boot screen:
some text which goes like "Your device cannot be trusted etc etc. fastboot oem lock something something"
If yes, press the volume buttons at this screen, which will take you to an "Options menu"
This will have options to power off, restart, recovery, fastboot, back to previous page.
use volume down buttons to move selection to fastboot and press power button to select fastboot.
This will take you to bootloader.
Alternatively:
Is the device getting identified by your computer when connected?
If yes, and if you have adb tools installed, try this command, after connecting to computer and selecting usb configuration as transfer files
adb devices
The result of this should show your device
then type:
adb reboot bootloader
This should take you to your bootloader screen.

Thank you for your replay.
I have done all of this and i do understand how this works.
I have adb drivers installed, my computer does reconizes my phone and everything works even the reboot to bootloader via CMD. (adb devices, it shows, etc)
When my phone then tries to access the bootloader, it will show those messeges " this devices cant be trusted etc etc." afther 5 seconds again I see the the android logo (with a few lines of static on the bottom) (( that clearly is not right )) but it will show me again the same message " this devices cant be trusted etc etc" ... then it will just show me the battery icon and power precentage (this if I choose to boot to bootloader) or else it starts normally..
Clearly the flashing of CM failed. And with a sideload to install OxygenOS I can use it.. But it does prevents me from accessing the fastboot mode..
So Is there an alternative way to install TWRP without using the fastboot mode? Or is there an other way i can try to wipe the partitions inc. the os?
From there I know what to do.

well if you are rooted you can try using an app called flashify or flashfire to install twrp

When the display shows the battery % check if fastboot devices shows your device?
If not I'm sorry, I would not be of any more help to you my friend.
Hope someone more knowledgeable comes along and clears your problem....

If nothing works, try method 2 from the Hard Brick guide from Naman Bhalla.
