[SOLVED] Fastboot USB not working

Hello,
I got a strange problem: my phone does not accept adb or fastboot commands sent from my pc anymore. The screen says FASTBOOT when connected in fastboot mode to the pc, but the USB appears only after I move the cursor up or down (push the volume button up or down).
The command line on windows states "Waiting for device...". The driver seems broken. In Device Manager (Windows) it says "Other devices -- Android Phone" with an exclamatin mark. A driver update fails.
I am running CM alpha 12 on a HTC One S (S4). The phone was not connected to my pc while on stock. The Android SDK is installed on the pc and up to date.
The phone is running fine besides the lack of usb access in any way. Charging works fine.
Any suggestions appreciated.

I had the same issue too. I wantet to push a recovery and my pc could not find my device. I reinstalled htc sync and then found the drivers in c:/programs/htc/sync drivers

You have the HTC One V? These forums are for the One S. They are more likely to give better advice

Please need help....!!!!
I accidentally formatted my internal storage , cache , data, system and everything.
I cannot able to mount the USB and not even fastboot as it is saying waiting for device. My bootloader is the only thing thats working, not even my philz recovery is of no use . adb is not recognizing my phone . please help
Please let me know about any solution for the problem

Hello Faisal,
I (re-)installed HTC sync software (as I said in post #3). That is all of the story.
Hope this solves your problem too.

[Q] Can't unlock bootloader - fastboot stuck

Hey.
I'm trying to unlock bootloader to send the recovery with fastboot but it stucks on sending de unlock_code.bin
The fastboot detects the device, i cant also do commands like reboot or reboot bootloader...
When i type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin it stucks on sending forever.
I'm using a usb 2.0 port also in a windows 7 64bit, i've tried all the usb ports lol
What can i do?
I really need to root this device

do you have htc sync installed for adb drivers and have you checked device manager for (when phone is connected) android adb device
what does it say when you type in cmd:
adb devices
EDIT : make sure htc sync is NOT running in the background

I've installed htc sync to have the drivers, then uninstalled htc sync program and left the drivers.
If i connect the phone i put in "charge only" and then typing adb devices it has my device there.
I didn't understood this part: "and have you checked device manager for (when phone is connected) android adb device", where to check device manager?

you try after updating htc sync. if you fail again, you can contact service center and ask them sync isn't functioning or usb isn't working like that...:highfive: if your bootloader is still locked you can claim warranty :good:

Start the phone in fadtbootmode. Then when you connect the phone to PC with USB, it should show on your phone at the top "FASTBOOT USB", If it does not show USB means you PC cant find the drivers, in that case locate the device in device manager and update drivers, you'll find the drivers located inside the folder where you installed HTC sync, the drivers folder is called HTC Driver, if you installed it on C: drive, then this should be the path to the driver "C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver".
Anyways, just look for "Fastboot - USB" on that white screen, when in fastboot mode and connected to PC via USB.

And btw what is your bootloader version?

Oh lol, actually I was recently rooting sister's set and this is the problem I faced, windows 7 wasn't picking up the drivers automatically on her lappy, so had to install them manually. While on my lappy, windows found them automatically even updated from online or something without a hitch.

Unable to unlock bootloader.. Need Help!!

Guys,
I'm stuck in the very first step in rooting my Explorer..
I installed HTC Sync(but it does not recognise my device) , Downloaded SDK tools but stuck in the step where we have to type
fastboot oem get_identifier_token in cmd..
After this step it just shows
< waiting for device >
and does not move further..
Tried installing various driver packages found in other posts, installing htc sync in compatibily mode but of no use..
P.S - I use WINDOWS 8 O.S in my PC

[Q] Xperia L Drivers?

Hello,
My Windows 7 PC is not able to detect the drivers for Xperia L. I have already installed the PC Companion and also installed the Flash Tool drivers, ADB Universal Drivers. Still it doesn't detect the device.
ADB Debugging is enabled.
Can you give a download link for the drivers?
Thanks.

Try a different approach. Go into your device manager on your PC. You can go into device manager by going into properties of MY COMPUTER or Control Panel\System and Security\System
When your device is connected, do you see an exclamation mark in devices. Reinstall it by finding drivers manaually.
IF this all fails, just delete the device and refresh it.
Another very useful trick is to delete the unknow device (xperia L) and restart your Xperia L. Then search for device changes. it will be detected automatically.
Is your MTP ticked in Xperia / Connection/ USB connection on your phone ?

Unfortunately, I have done all that. Isn't there a driver setup file for this phone? Can't seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks!

I'm facing the same problem.
I'm tryng to unlock the boot loader following the instructions on Sony website, but when it comes to use fastboot it just keep saying <waiting for device>.
And I have installed all the stuff you said, too.

Oh I remember, i was facing the same problem for bootloader. I am uploading the drivers. These should work. The trick is download the 2kb file and past it into google drivers and then find them from the PC.
Good Luck.

the whole of this was my phone was softbricked. I wanted to get into recovery so I could use ADB to try to fix it. When it's softbricked, ADB won't start up, therefore I could use ADB.
Trust me, I know how to use ADB, I just wanted to know if there was a key combination to get our phones into recovery mode with ADB because ADB wouldn't work because my phone was softbricked. It had nothing to do with me not knowing how to use ADB or how to set it up, it had to do with my phone would brick it self before ADB started, so therefore I couldn't send any ADB commands.

DRivers for Xperia L
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46681107#post46681107

Problem solved. It was tricky, though.
Having PC companion installed wincrap didn't make me choose other drivers.
So I disabled the signature verification for drivers -> rebooted -> connected Phone while pressing the vol UP -> opened device manager -> select s1boot fastboot (which had a warning icon) -> selected driver manually (the .inf file we replaced following the first steps.
then i just used cmd as in the guide.
et voilà, bootloader unlocked.
I hope this is helpful to those who faced my same problem.

Sry to hear but if it is a driver problem, the only solution would be to manually install the right drive package (64bit in your case probably). If you aren't to, you'd have to unlock bootloader to flash a rom etc which means losing your data.
BUT if you just want to get data from your phone why don't you upload it to something like Dropbox or Google Drive. Or for a direct push try Pushbullet (App for Android and program for Windows, set up with same account) and you can just send those files.

Thanks before, can you give me link for driver Xperia z3 64bit? I cant unlock bootloader if my device isn't detected by computer not for data only, i need charge from laptop if in emergency situations

I did it like 3 years ago so don't know if those links are still working but I did it with those two guides (one is German though):
https://www.randombrick.de/sony-xperia-z3-fastboot-unter-windows-mit-den-richtigen-treibern/
For the manual installations of the driver:
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/129174/windows-10-fastboot-driver
Direct link to fastboot driver:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/
Hope this helps.
EDIT: You can also try with the driver installation with flash tool, but you have to disable the windows signature verification check (google, there's loads of tutorials).
