Hey! I'm currently trying to flash a custom rom on my 9 pro from 11.2.10.10 and i've unlocked the bootloader. ADB commans are working fine, but as soon as I boot into the bootloader and type "fastboot flash boot "recovery.img"" it just doesn't do anything, no "downloading..." text or anything. I then tried to use any other fastboot commands and nothing works, (to be clear, my device is being recognized, "fastboot devices" does show my device. but no other command works, either doesn't do anything, or gives me an error.
any help would be much appreciated
check if you have the last fastboot version - platform-tools_r33.0.1

Have you checked Device Manager to see if there's any unknown devices?

Assuming you're using the latest adb & fastboot versions, what happens when you type "fastboot devices"? Does it show your device?

Ermm, you're SUPPOSED to run the commands in "bootloader" mode, not fastbootD mode.
I'm kind of curious how unlocking the bootloader worked but using other commands doesn't.

I have a pretty big problem and need some guided help. My stock samsung usb charger sometimes charges the phone and sometimes does not. Tried multiple different chords and got the same results, sometimes works sometimes does not. So now I am assuming this is an internal hardware problem soo I decided I should flash stock images, unroot and relock the bootloader and here comes the worst problem.... My device is NOT recognized when I connect it to my PC... therefor I can't access adb connection to flash stock images so I can return it to VZW....
Not sure what to do next.. any suggestions would be great...
It sounds like you just don't have the drivers installed. Just install the Samsung drivers here.

Do you have any other Android processes running on your cpu? Droid Explorer or alike? Droid Ex **** blocks adb; I had a frustrating few minutes once when adb wouldn't connect to my device until I realized DE was running in the background.
Long shot, but just a thought.

I am in the bootloader and don't see 'fastboot devices' or do I see my device. I see the product name, variant, bootloader version, baseband version, etc. Would that be considered 'my device' being recognized and I could actually flash the stock images?

fastboot is like adb. You need to run it from a command line. You should have had to use it when you installed a custom recovery ('fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img') or unlocked your phone (ie 'fastboot oem unlock'). fastboot is part of the android sdk (think it's in tools folder, but I moved mine so am not sure).

That's what my understanding of what it was too. I'm in the bootloader running a command prompt through windows and for the first time I think it recognized my devices. I ran 'fastboot devices' and a bunch of numbers on one line came up followed by fastboot. So I think my device is recognized and I can flash stock images?

yes, you can download the images for your device from google and flash them to your phone using fastboot if you want. I'm pretty sure that would put you back at stock with an unlocked bootloader.

I know how to. It was just your demeanor and wording/phrasing that had me confused.
I have the same problem, fastboot was working this morning, now after flashing Revolution HD, typing "fastboot devices" in CMD doesnt return anything anything, neither does adb push command which replies failed to copy .... As if the phone doesnt exist or its not attached. Does the phone need to be in clockwork mod? or just boot the phone normally?
Edit: This should do the trick, open CMD in Windows, navigate to your c:\android where you have fastboot and adb stored and type:
:cd %:h
adb kill-server
adb reboot bootloader

Hi,guys!I've had some trouble now.
I've unlocked bootloader before on N5x, but I accidentally locked it up again today.I want to use the "fastboot oem unlock" command,it doesn't work.
Now,when I open the phone,it only shows fastboot mode . And I can't start,recovery,boot anymore. My phone can only stay on this page which shows"Your devixe is corrupt.It can't be trusted and may not work properly" with a red exclamation mark.
How can I do now ? Looking forward to your reply.

fastboot devices <-- this is the command to check.
Also command prompt needs to be run as administrator in windows for fastboot to work properly.

When you are in bootloader, you should use fastboot command instead of adb.
And first, try to flash TWRP using: fastboot flashing recovery "YOUR TWRP IMAGE". If it works, flash rom like normal.
If that doesn't work, use QPST.

Enter command "adb reboot bootloader" takes me into the bootloader screen.
Enter command "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" gives me error "FAILED (Write to device failed (Too many links))" "fastboot: error: Command failed"
Phone resets.
Have searched past threads suggesting to use different USB ports and cables. Tried several cables and every port with no luck. Any idea whats causing the error? Thanks

Fastboot mode, or bootloader mode as some call it, is when you enter it when the phone is shut off with the power + volume down buttons, or from ADB reboot bootloader when your phone is on. ADB devices will not work in fastboot/bootloader mode. Conversly speaking, fastboot devices will not work while your in your OS with the phone on. All your fastboot commands must be done from fastboot/bootloader mode. :good:
I'd try out the pixel all in one tool, it makes these things dummy proof. But really, take the OTA and get your phone updated first.
Hi everyone, I recently bought a 2xl pixel and it's updated to Android 10, and I want to change rom (basically why I like to see how much can be done)but I have the problem that it is Verizon version, I have tried to unlock it with the methods I have seen, but I have seen that it depends on the Android version.I would like to know if there is a way to unlock the OEM unlock in order to unlock the bootloader.

Sorry to say, if your device is a Verizon carrier variant (not purchased directly from Google), then you will not be able to unlock the bootloader at this time (or likely ever)....
To be sure:
after enabling "Developer Options" if you can't enable the "OEM UNLOCKING" toggle, your bootloader is not unlockable.
