Quick question on rooting, fastboot and USB drivers

I want to root my HTC Magic very soon but I need help at the very beginning. I have the Android SDK R3 and USB drivers installed. My question is, does the device have to be "recognized" in fastboot mode? When I type in "adb devices" with the phone in normal operation, it returns the serial number just fine. In fastboot mode, I don't get it in the list of devices. Drivers are installed for both modes. (please see photos below). Is this normal?

Does: fastboot devices
.. show any devices?

Shows nothing at all. I took the first picture, then turned off the phone, fastbooted, then took the second picture. I blurred out part the serial number from the first "adb devices" command, but the second one I type is as it appears.

Does the command:
fastboot devices
.. show any devices while device is in Fastboot USB mode?

Ahhh... yes it does. It shows my device with the same serial number. So I'm good to go now?

Yes... boot the recovery rom now.
All the best.

Thanks xyzulu for your help, I'll give it a shot later tonight. Have to put my daughter to bed right now. Work before play I suppose.

Problem installing Mirek v6 to Teclast Air III 3G C5j6

Hi,
I just got new Teclast air III 3G x98 64GB (C5J6, v2.00.20150720) and can't install Mirek v6 rom. If I try FLASH_tool_Teclast_x98_air3g_and_air_2-(v2.5).bat it wont connect the device, although my PC's Windows 8 recognizes Teclast when connected to USB. I also installed ADB drivers and Intel ADB drivers.
Then I tried using Manufacturing Flash Tool with instructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62823546&postcount=6 but no luck either. MFT gives error shown image below

What I am doing wrong? I have flashed multiple other Android devices earlier but this seems to be tough one :crying:

Got this sorted out.
Solution was to use Flash_tool...bat included in Mirek's ROM with next steps:
1. Select 1. Install Android - Clean install
2. Connect Tablet to your PC with USB and Tablet NOT in debug mode
3. Select 1. Install from Android
4. When red screen opens, switch tablet to debug mode -> after that follow instructions

I fixed it thanks to IObit Driver Booster!

Thank you sir

Earlier version of Mi Unlock like "miflash_unlock-en-4.5.813.51" contains a working Driver.
Latest Version does not, because... who knows ^^
You can find previous version of Mi Unlock Tool here:

Thank you very much! I thought I was going insane trying to connect fastboot. They still haven't fixed their newest unlock package with working driver, go figure.

Perhaps the drivers for the Xperia XA driver do not work well on your Windows, as it appears from the description that they are for Windows XP.
