[Q] Questions about Fastboot & Drivers - General Questions and Answers

hello ,
After reading a lot about my device i see a lot of people saying we need fast-boot working for our device to start any type of development , What causes a device not to work with stock SDK fast-boot ?
When it comes to fast-boot, what exact drivers are used to recognize the device in fast-boot mode ? for example the current drivers installed under LG drivers are LG Android Driver , LG SP USB Driver , LG United Mobile Driver , LG USB WML Modem Driver ?
i use both windows and Ubuntu and followed every fast-boot guide on the internet and just cant quit get fast-boot working , i can get adb commands to restart the device but that's about it .
the device im working with is the LG G Stylo LS770 .

Usb drivers for your android phone

USB Drivers are let your PC communicate with your device.
If you are executing some ADB Commands, you will need USB Drivers installed which will let the ADB server on your PC communicate with the ADB client on your device. If there are no USB Drivers installed on your PC, you will not be able to perform activities on your device via the PC.
First of All I would recommend you to install Universal ADB Driver Installer.The Universal ADB Driver installer detects your phone and installs the ADB drivers for it.This tool developed by drsmart is your solution to the “device not found” error you might get on executing ADB commands.

MORE DEVICES WILL BE UPDATED
Thanks for the info. I tried the univ adb driver installer but it showed I already had the right driver installed. Windows explorer can see my phone but other apps like HTC Sync or myphoneexplorer can't. This only happened after I rooted & installed a new rom. Maybe the rom is faulty...

No access to USB debug

Rooted
I was running CM 10.2 with latest nightly, I think 20131208 and decided to update to CM11 via my Cyanogenmod updater but before I did I had read somewhere I should change from CWM recovery to TWRP so I downloaded Goomanager and updated to the TWRP version for my phone then went for the KitKat update and thats when the trouble began.
I am now stuck in a boot loop even if I try to boot into TWRP all I get is the TWRP boot logo then straight into boot loop again. I am almost positive I did a factory wipe as well as cache/dalvik.
Not being able to use TWRP to get into recovery I thought I would just use Odin but I can't get any of my laptops to recognize the phones USB, I just get the windows usb driver error and have tried to install the drivers manually via device manager using my samsung 7 chronos with windows 8.1 and my acer with windows 7. I updated drivers using Samsung Kies and from the website, no luck.
I also ventured into an area that I have no expertise in but I guess thats how we learn so I downloaded the Android SDK thinking I could use it to download and install the google USB drivers that way, but I can't get out of boot loop to make sure USB debugging is checked. The only thing I can access is the stock download mode which would be great if I could use the USB connection.
What am I missing? Any suggestions?
USB Not Recognized Error
I noticed that my phone suddenly stopped being recognized on both my Windows 7 and Win8 laptops. I have been trying to fix it with the drivers but to no avail. However, I plugged my phone in with a different USB cord and voila it was recognized and working. Maybe this could possibly be a simple fix.
My computer stopped recognizing my Skyrocket
Hi Everyone,
I also am having trouble with my win 7 computer recognizing my Skyrocket suddenly. I have been using several KitKat roms and they have been working just fine, except for some reported bugs that the CM devs are working on. I even was able to connect to the computer and explore both my internal and external drives. Then suddenly that stopped and the computer gave me a need to get drivers warning. I've tried to download drivers from Samsung and the computer says they are already installed. I also tried the universal driver download and got the same message. Any help would be appreciated. Like the others on this forum, I wouldn't be able to odin if I got in trouble.
Thanks for your concideration,
drewfs7270
I switched to a different rom and now it's working again !

Also, any mobile manufacturer website has guides or direct downloads for drivers. Otherwise uni drivers suffice.....

soft brick
I face bad experienced, the tablet can not boot ( after install TWRP ) but enable to enter the fastboot mode and can be detected by the computer as android adb interface but adb can't communicated with the tablet. (list of devices atached)
I do have a backup file ( I make it before soft brick, I make backup using dd command, because I don't have cwm/twrp recovery ).... but how to flash it ? Tablet chipset is wonder media 8980 OS android 4.2.2
I can not flash it by adb/fastboot.
Maybe someone here can give me a little guide for how to....
I really appreciate for your kindness
Hey, I made an expirience, which might help other users as well.
I have a Sony device (Z1C) and use Windows 10, maybe this will help for other brands and for other Windows 10 users.
I installed drivers for my device and was able to use adb. When I put the phone into fastboot mode, it was not recognized anymore. I found out, Sony has a seperate (updated, maybe?) driver for fastboot mode. When I tried to install this, the driver was not signed and Windows refused to install it. However, you can enter the UEFI (successor of BIOS) and enable installation of unsigned drivers (at own risk). Then I was able to install the fastboot driver and controll my phone in fastboot mode as well as in adb mode.
In conclusion: You might think you installed drivers, because you did, but maybe you did not.
Even on LineageOS page, many people fail to mention that, you DON'T and SHOULDN'T install any generic or universal ADB driver if you have Samsung device. As you can just install Samsung USB Drivers officially from Samsung site. Samsung USB Drivers already contain ABD interface driver just fine so Universal ADB driver is redundant for Samsung phones.

[Q] P920 totally dead?

Hello everybody,
I send my new phone to repair, so i take my old LG Optimus 3D (P920) from drawer
When i power on the phone, i see a message about no space in internal memory.
I search this web, because i have some experiences with modding android from Wildfire S, and I found some news about using ICS on P920 device.
First tutorial which i tried is some tutorial for noobs in Android Development Section.
Drivers successfully installed and LG Flash Tool start flashing, but it stuck on EBL writing start.
I tried many times on different PCs, but same result
After that i wanna try rebrick with Omap4boot tool, but P920 cannot connect as OMAP4430 devices.
No devices appearing in devmgmt, while connect my phone to USB port with volume up pressed.
Only windows show: USB device not recognized message in tray zone.
This message shows periodically while phone is connected.
Now i cant connect phone to the PC in download mode.
Only thing it works is recovery, but i cant mount USB storage.
Is my phone totally dead now?
Thank you.

Did you try different pcs (windows 7, windows xp, windows 8), different usb cables? Can your phone boot into fastboot mode? Did you try to install omap drivers in device manager after unplugging the device?

Hi everyone,
I have a turkish phone with the model Avea in touch 3 large, which is a ZTE Q blade maxi.
I'm facing a problem when i get into the bootloader mode, the computer doesn't detect the phone at all.
Can't use the fastboot... whenever i run: <fastboot devices> i get absolutely nothing
when the phone is on i can run : adb devices , but not fastboot devices
i believe it has to do with the phone drivers...
i used padnet to install the phone driver = MT65xx

[Q] Help with fastboot drivers needed (Nexus 10)

I posted this question in the Nexus 10 section too but got no response and this isnt that device specific anyway so I decided to try my luck here.
I want to flash a recovery to my Nexus 10 but I can't get the fastboot drivers to install.
When I connect the tablet to my PC it installs these two drivers:
1. SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem
2. SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device
I have no idea what these drivers have to do with fastboot whatsoever.. I tried to manually install the fastboot drivers but that won't work.
I searched for the hardware ID's on Google but that didn't result in anything.
Does anyone has a clue on what to do?
No one?

[Resolved] Solution - windows 10 aristo fastboot not detected

Hello. If you're on Windows 10 like me, you're probably having an issue unlocking your bootloader because the device is undetected in fastboot mode.
I downloaded LG drivers, Google drivers, etc and nothing worked. I finally resolved the issue by
1. Uninstalling all Lg driver software I downloaded
2. Installing the LG PC SUITE software (*This should do it*)
3. Ran PC suite & hit "connect" - it told me my LG USB DRIVER was missing and offered to install it for me from within itself. I hit the button to install said driver.
I ran the installation twice and suddenly my laptop made a sound indicating my device was recognized. (I also watched my Device Manager refresh with the correct devices). Also, LG PC SUITE has adb built into it so the driver was certainly there.
After this, I ran fastboot devices and mine was good to go!
I hope this helps!
