Hi all,
sorry if there is plenty of these threads already floating around but wasnt able to find a relevant one to my problem. I'm hoping someone here might be able to help.
This is the primary XZ rooting guide i have been following, with other supplimentary guides 1 & 2
These have been my steps:
- Managed to successfully update fastboot driver with "android_winusb.inf-file" from 'Google USB Driver' within android studio.
- Unlocked bootloader
- Installed AndroPlus Kernel sucessfully "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Now went to reboot device as stated by instructions (mistake) and now the device is not recognized in cmd "waiting for device". I've replugged the usb in multiple ports and the device shows up as "android" in devices and printers. I go to update the android "SOMC Flash Device" to the platform tools directory but makes no difference in cmd. Still "waiting for device". In Device Manager there is no sign of the device either.
When the phone is turned on it shows your device has been "unlocked and cant be trusted will reboot in 5 seconds" then proceeds to xperia logo and freezes. With no recoveries theres not much options.
Is there a way to continue from here or even return to a previous state? It seems like i hit a brick wall. Please help

Hi,
I'm kind of a noob at this rooting stuff. I've looked ariund, done my research and everything but it never seems to go smoothly??..
I think the main problem is with the drivers. After following instructions the android drivers still said 'Android 1.0'. So I installed Pda net and then I got 'Android ADB Interface' drivers. Soo the thing is, after searching for 'adb devices' in cmd prompt, It says 'list of devices' but there's nothing in the list....?
For some reason it won't do any commands like 'adb reboot bootloader' or 'fastboot oem lock'. It says not found. I have installed all the sdk and packages...
Would really appreciate some help from you guys. I didn't think rooting would be so complex??...
Thanks
can you post screenshot??
Ok for some reason, after starting the cmd again today and typing adb devices, it has listed my device. But when I type 'fastboot oem lock' (because my bootloader is already unlocked) it says not found as shown in the screenshot.
Am I doing something stupid??...

If adb devices lists your device you're not in the boot loader, the ONLY place fastboot will recognize your device and function or you have a driver issue. You're either in recovery or booted up. Reboot into the boot loader to use fastboot.
If you get into the boot loader and fastboot still doesn't show your device it's a driver issue. Update the driver manually and point it to the SDK USB driver provided with the SDK.
For reference....
Booted into boot loader:
Fastboot OK
ADB NO
Recovery / Fully booted
Fastboot NO
ADB OK
Hi guys,
I really do think this is a driver issue... any idea on how to solve it? I do have PDA Net installed... ?
@krohnjw ... could you please clarify.. Im a bit lost.
Thanks!
Did you try something like oneclickroot?

Well I also had a lot of issues trying to root my i9020t so let me try to help..
Phone will be recognized with ADB when u select enable debug on developer options. You ll see "Android ADB Interface" on SYS DRV.
On other hand , when U start phone on fasboot mode, it should install something like "Android Bootloader Interface " , if U keep seeing "Android ADB Interface" , its wrong, but took some time to realize that.
That happened to me when I was using WinXP x32 to root my phone, ironically thinking it would be more compatible an less prone to bugs... When done it on W7 x64 , my fastboot driver was discovered correctly (Android bootloader Interface) using x64 PDA drivers, and all went good then!
Hope this may help!
I've just got a new Z5 and am trying to install LineageOS, like I did on my dearly departed HTC m8.
I've got the android platform tools installed, and the device shows up if I use "adb devices". "adb reboot bootloader" appears to work - it shuts the device down then the LED goes blue (the documented behaviour of being in fastboot mode). However, "fastboot devices" lists nothing.
*#*#SERVICE#*#* indicates bootloader unlock is allowed, I've got dev mode enabled, I've got my unlock code ready and waiting... No fastboot mode though. Any ideas?
Hang on a sec.
It's just occurred to me that something else might be wrong. Booting into "fastboot" is the same as entering recovery mode, right? Well, when I try doing it, all I get on my phone is the blue LED. Just a black screen. That seems obviously wrong, because it should be displaying Sony's built-in recovery mode stuff, right?
While we're at it, I've just tried again on my work computer, holding volume up and inserting a USB cable. The computer recognised and installed "S1Boot Fastboot", and I can see it in Device Manager under "Other devices". However, the status is "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) There are no compatible drivers for this device."
This was the same on my home machine. I tried installing Sony's drivers, and the Android drivers, but each time I pointed Windows at the directory I'd unzipped to it would just say that it couldn't find any drivers there.
e: #$%&!
I'm trying with Sony's "Emma" tool. It says to hold vol-down and connect the phone, which gives a green light (not a blue one), but says "this phone is locked". But I've unlocked it! Sony's instructions at the address listed in the error message say to enable debugging then select "OEM unlocking" from the dev options, which I have done! What gives?
Got it!
I Can't post the URL due to low number of posts, but I found what I needed from the question on the android Stack Exchange called "Windows 10 Fastboot Driver". I grabbed a tool called Zadig, which was able to install a driver for Fastboot, so I could flash recovery.
Right. Now to get set up! Woo!
Thank you!

Thank you! I had the same problem. The device showed up as "Android" and I couldn't install the drivers.
You can find instructions and the download link here: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/129174/windows-10-fastboot-driver
I tried asking this in the forum for my specific phone (Sony Xperia XZs) but I'm having little luck over there so I'm gonna ask here.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader hoping that I can root and install a custom ROM.
When the device is on, the computer can see it just fine, but when I reboot it into fastboot mode, it can no longer see it. I have all the necessary drivers as far as I know.
It still appears in device manager as 'S1boot Fastboot'. I seem to have no luck updating drivers there either if that is the issue. I choose to select manually and it narrows down under 'Android Device' to:
Android ADB Interface Version
Android Bootloader Interface Version
Android Composite ADB Interface Version
(None of them worked when I tried, unsurprisingly)
Hello,
I am hoping for some advice on how to revert my phone back to its original "factory settings" after a botched instal of GrapheneOS onto an unlocked Google Pixel 3A.
I got to the point at which I needed to Flash the Graphene Rom to the phone, but rather than installing, I received a message from Smart Screen MS edge asking if I really wanted to run as it's protecting my PC - I clicked run anyway and a blank command line window appeared for a second. Now my pc doesn't seem to be recognising the pixel 3A when I type ADB devices. My phone is currently in Fastboot mode "unlocked" and I'm hoping for some advice on what to do next. I'm total noob, so unsure how to start the process over (return the phone to it's previous state) before, maybe, trying again on a different PC.
I have since turned on my phone and Android 11 is still present and seems to work fine (however it gives me a warning on startup that the bootloader is unlocked.
Any help would be very much appreciated - thank you in advance.
Is all what happened that your phone now:
complains about "'maybe not safe bootloader unlocked".
This is just what android does when the bootloader is unlocked.
This you did before trying the flash.
If you want the warning gone simply lock it again.
However if you into the market for graphene OS then I would recomend: along with following their guide to a t to also read up here on xda about the general rooting unlocking thing a bit more so you get the overall process a bit better perhaps next time.
About windows. There are so many tools out there to help ya with disabling some of it's spying, turning off smartscreen, auto - uploads of all your data to M$oft, etc etc.
It's not hard to find.
Thanks for the response - I think I've worked out what is going on.
Typing ADB devices, my PC recognises the phone until I put it into fastboot mode - typing adb devices when in fastboot comes back with nothing and therefore when I try to flash, I assume the devices aren't talking to each other.
Not sure if there's a work around or whether it's a case of finding a new PC to try it on?
Thanks again.

try another USB port first; use USB 2.0 if available! Reinstall google ADB drivers, make sure to use latest!
If above will not help:
on your computer: open device manager; on your phone: put your phone into fastboot; connect your phone to the computer WHILE keeping an eye on device manager; as soon as you'll connect your phone new device will appear in device manager ("unknown device" most likely but it might be some "android device" or "ADB device" too); right click it —> update driver —> automatic driver update worked in most cases for me, if not, go manual way and select google's "android fastboot device" (or something like that, can't remember actual name of the device); after driver install confirmation you should be good to go

Hey there,
This is brilliant - thanks for all the advice. Having this support is helping me gain the confidence to learn more, research more, and then give it a go.
All the best.

thats if I am not wrongly remembering my experience:
because now your phone is in fastboot mode thus it won't show up with that command anymore.
Try: 'fastboot devices'
I imagine you put it into fastboot through: 'reboot fastboot' when you where in adb?
When in fastboot you can go on and flash the recovery and such.
Are you still in need of help here?
Hey, thanks for the clarification - been away and so haven't implemented all suggestions, yet.
I typed "adb reboot booloader" which I assumed put it into fastboot mode and then unlocked it using "fastboot flashing unlock".
I tried fastboot devices but the PC still doesn't see the phone. I'm going to try the update usb driver suggested by Tamsta_T and see how it goes.
Thanks for your help.
Hopefully someone here can help me through my problem,

Hey, I'm pretty new to this way of customizing my phone (adb, root, roms etc), and I'm trying to root my phone with Magisk. I have a patched boot.img, my bootloader is allowed to be unlocked and I'm doing exactly what the root guide says (https://www.mobilewithdrivers.com/magisk-root/blu-g60-64gb-3gb-ram) but it wont work, I keep getting different errors and I see all my fellow droid users so happy with their rooted devices, I want to root mine too. So what I'm asking is; Can someone with an actual brain (Mine wont work) to try and help me out or walk me through step-by-step?
Thanks for reading!
Some of the issues I have:
"adb reboot booter" and "fastboot reboot bootloader" both reboot the device but in the top left corner it says "fastboot mode" and just freezes, when I do any command it just says "device null" but when I reconnect the USB cable, it just powers off.
"fastboot flashing unlock" results in "FAILED (remote: Not implemet.)" Yes, spelt like that.
"fastboot oem unlock" says, unkown cmd...
Wrong driver in use. Use the one provided by BLU suitable to your phone.
i couldnt find any drivers for the exact device, only google ones...
any ideas?
If you have a mac, you could try that. They usually don't require drivers.
