Hey, I am having trouble pushing TWRP onto my op3 via fastboot. I managed to unlock my bootloader successfully but after that, I know cannot flash TWRP. When I type in "adb devices" It returns a string, however "fastboot devices" does nothing. I've uninstalled and re-installed oneplus usb, fastboot and adb drivers countless time and even reset my PC twice. Any ideas? This is really frustrating as I was on TWRP fine before I had to RMA my op3 where they put it back to stock. Any ideas? Thanks
I have the same problem ADB works but Fastboot not.... I have all drivers correct installed..

Got the same problem too, after unlocking the bootloader the fastboot devices cannot find anything
Tested several drivers and even another laptop :/
Rom: OOS 3.2.7
PC: Windows 10
But phone starts ok in OOS system?
If, yes, download TWRP 3.0.2.1 original & TWRP 3.0.2.1-19 modified. Put them in phone sd card. Download FLashify from Play store and flash recovery .img. Then go recovery to test if it works.
One of those will work.

I've solved that problem by installing Windows 7 on a Virtual Machine the phone Was recognized and has installed the drivers by itself. And fastboot was working
I don't know why fastboot is not working on Windows 10....
Thanks for the different solutions, I'll try it for myself.
But I'm still wondering why the unlock worked because there it used fastboot too

Had the same issue, here's what fixed it for me:
(On Windows 10)
1 - Plug your device while on and install the OP3 drivers that appear as a removable disk, I reinstalled them also, so no harm in doing that again.
2 - Run admin command prompt from wherever you have your adb and fastboot
3 - get your device into fastboot/bootloader mode "adb reboot bootloader"
4 - press windows key + X and go to device manager, look for the Android device with exclamation mark
5 - right click on Android Device > update driver software > browse my computer... > let me pick... > look for Android and then select Android Fastboot Interface if memory serves me right.
And that's it. Fastboot should be recognized now. That's what worked for me when windows recognized adb but not fastboot, hope it helps out.

I have just installed on my Windows 10, a Virtual Machine (VMware) with Windows 7 installed all driver oneplus 3 and adb+fastboot and it works
I have the same issue. Got my OP3 yesterday and have been trying in vain to get my Windows 10 install to recognise the phone in fastboot mode, but to no avail. I am unable to unlock my bootloader.
I think the problem is with Windows 10. My laptop did an update yesterday, I think that's the problem.
Got some news for you:
I was so frustrated that I decided to install Windows 7 over my Windows 10 and have a try.
Well what should I say: everything worked on the first try, without any problems with the original driver which comes with the op3 when you plugin the phone.
Hope I could help
It appears to be an issue with Windows 10 drivers. I have used an ancient install of Xubuntu on an older EeePC in order to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP and SuperSU. I've still had no luck getting fastboot to be recognised on Windows 10, though on Xubuntu, it is recognised instantly with no issues.

I'm not at my pc atm but I'll try my best:
If you plugin your op3 there will be a cd mounted with the setup for the driver.
I just installed this driver with the setup.exe (on a complete new instance of Windows 7).
After the installer was finished, I opened cmd.exe and could use adb and fastboot.
I keep changing roms since long time before on my oneplus devices, i bought asus zenfone 2 and tried to root the phone, it got bricked and i unbricked successfully by using xFSTK tool. device turned on like before but unable to connect to pc, even when MTP is selected it just starts charging when i connect it to pc, even tried with different types of cables still the same issue. tried in recovery and fastboot as well.
at least if it would work in fastboot then i can install twrp and add custom rom. not even able to do that.
P.S - tried even installing adb, intel drivers. problem doesn't seem to be going..
PLEASE HELP.

Brother, after completing this process only i am facing this issue..
unable to connect my phone in any mode. not even to other pc.
Fast charging works?
There may be a problem with the flex cable that has the sim + sd slots on it. Costs 3$ on ebay and its very easy to replace.

No, fast charging was not working after the process in xFSTK tool. it would take around 8 hours to get 100 %

I can enter only in fastboot mode but fastboot wont be detected in adb, as i mentioned it's not getting recognized..
Well I am having the same simptoms since the sdcard slot got burned. No fast charging and no pc recognition. I am currently waiting for the flex cable so I can fix it
Hi there,
strugggling to get the xa2 into fastboot mode so I can flash a new boot.img and root. I've enabled OEM unlocking and installed the USB drivers. the command 'adb reboot fastboot' doesn't work, just reboots the phone. adb over usb works fine. The official method to get into fastboot 'plug in USB whilst holding vol up/down' also doesnt allow me to get itno fastboot mode, phone just stays blank with a notification LED. I use 'fastboot devices' to see it if it connected. I've tried this on 2 PCs now to no avail
I'm thinking maybe the fastboot drivers are wrong?
Does anyone have any other suggestions or help?
Thanks

Hi thanks for getting back to me,
I assume you meant the '15 second installer', which I just did just install successfully. I am still unable to see the device with 'fastboot devices' command.
Other info: I have factory reset the phone, made sure oem unlock is checked, tried the same process on another computer. I can get adb mode to work fine, but the command 'adb reboot fastboot' just reboots the phone as usual

That is the correct behaviour.
Blue LED = Fastboot mode
Green LED = Flash mode (for reflashing stock firmware with XperiFirm in case EVERYTHING is broken)
Install these drivers:
https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
When in Fastboot mode, go to device manager, there is an Android device in there (may also be called MTP device).
In the device manager, install a new driver for that and use the ADB driver from C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Universal ADB Driver
Windows will tell you that it's the wrong driver. Install it anyway and Fastboot will recognize your XA2 now.

If it won't work, after that just go to devices and printers and delete Xperia XA2. It will work.
Else, after installing 15 seconds, inside device manager, update the driver of your phone (or mtp device), select local, then Android device, then fastboot. Disconnect the phone and reconnect as before (volume down)
Fastboot is VOL. UP (on this device)! (Not vol. down)
So basically turn off the device, hold Vol. UP and simply connect to USB, hold Vol. UP until LED is steady blue and you are set.
Note: VOLUME UP activates fastboot and VOLUME DOWN enables flashmode and/or recovery mode
Similar trouble here.
1. VOL UP + plug in USB: Blue led blinks once, then phone shows it's charging (turned off)
2. adb reboot bootloader: Phone just turns off

I had the same issue with my XA2.
The solution (at least for me) was: different USB cable and different USB-port. As it turns out, my cable was somehow worn out (though data transfer and charging was working quite well). Going into fastboot, the blue led lit very short time and then the phone restarted. Furthermore on my PC it somehow only worked on the one USB port and not the other (both USB 3.0).
--> Maybe trying the most obvious might help also some of you

Did solve this by connecting to different PC. No cable/port/hub change did help. Looks like there was some trouble with drivers (though the same PC fastboots Z3 Tablet Compact perfectly).
Same
I'm also having the same issue with my Xperia XA2 Ultra. (boy that's a mouthful)
Phone model is H3223.
Host OS is Windows 10 Pro v. 2004.
Using latest Android SDK tools (i.e. ADB and Fastboot platform tools): platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows. Got it directly from Android site.
I think I had a previous driver for Android already installed or somehow Windows got it. ADB worked, Fastboot didn't. Read online about someone on this forum getting it to work by using XZ2 driver from Sony as they evidently don't have a published driver for this device. The person who posted this solution had reported problems with this driver recently. I tried it anyway.... ADB commands work and my phone shows up when listing devices. Reboot into fastboot mode and the only thing my phone does is show a blue light indicator... no splash screen or logo. To me this means it's starting fastboot but my driver isn't working with it to recognize it as any commands for fastboot return nothing or fail. It doesn't show up under fastboot devices command.
Does anyone have a clue as to what to do?

I have the exact same problem, have not managed to find a solution trying with 3(!) different laptops and 2 different cables. No idea what could go wrong. I checked the device and it says that unlocking is okay. Really frustrating.
Edit: I actually found a way! Once you manage to enter the fastboot mode (light is permanently blue) go to the device manager in windows, click on the unknown android device, and install custom drivers (either by selecting from the list or by picking the universal adb driers from a local folder). These custom drivers should be adb drivers. Once they are installed, fastboot should work.
I had the same problems with my device XA2 H3113 and Win10.
My solution: Try it with Ubuntu. Just grab an 8GB usbstick, install Ubuntu via usb-installer, boot ubuntu and open a terminal
sudo apt update
sudo apt install adb fastboot

Try a different cable - I had this same issue. My laptop doesn't support USB-C to USB-C even though it has the connector and updated motherboard software. Once I used the one from my old OP7Pro, it worked fine.
You need to update your adb/fastboot driver.

New fastboot logo is the orange FASTBOOT word. So it is already normal. If it's not recognized it may be a problem with drivers, usb cable, debug authorization/permissions.

Hi,
I have had my F3 for 13 months and Fastboot and windows can still be temperamental, my PC has 10+ usb sockets.
As bozinsky73 Suggested installing the correct drivers and maybe a different USB-C lead might help, you could try running MiFlash and then select the drivers tab and then Install, as some XDA users have had success with this.
I have tried 3 different (Aliexpress) Silicone coated leads and these cause my PC to flag up "unknown device" when in FASTBOOT, i also have 2 leads that look like the most cheapest ones out there and these work OK, even thou some times i still have to switch to another USB socket on my PC.
I run 3 different versions of windows on 3 different partitions that run, Win 7, Win 10 and Win 11 and i am still faced with the same issue regardless of the windows version.
I hope you sort it.
Thanks for the replies and solved it with a new cable. I was using the cable that came with the phone but obviously must have damage somewhere. Thanks anyway.
