Samsung devices do not use fastboot, absolutely none of them. There is only download mode(and emergency download mode), recovery mode, safe mode, system mode and a couple of other rarely used modes on some Samsung devices. None of their modes are compatible with fastboot. Trying to use fastboot on any kind of Samsung device is a waste of time. Samsung is compatible with ADB but not fastboot.
If you are trying to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, that is not how it is done on Samsung devices. Typically, you need to enable the OEM unlock setting in developer options on the device.
If you are trying to flash some kind of custom file, you will have to use Odin or ADB, ADB will require the device to be rooted or you won't be able to flash/modify anything on the device.

Hello, I also cannot use adb to boot to download mode. To be honest, I am not quite sure what is download mode. Is it similar to fastboot mode? My S6 cannot boot, it just says that there is no home app available, and than just error after error. Cannot use it at all. So I tried to boot to download mode, no success with buttons combination (home+volume down+power). so I installed adb and fastboot. ADB doesnt see my phone, and fastboot does, but I do not know what is command for it. I would like to use Odin to flash new rom, maybe that will fix the phone, but cannot use it if I cannot go to download mode. So any help is welcome.

http://www.etradesupply.com/blog/how-to-tear-down-samsung-galaxy-s6-in-10-steps/
basically this is my first time trying to flash a custom recovery and after a while of trying multiple methods, none worked
i have firstly install adb,unlocked the bootloader and enabled usb debbuging
the first approach was from xda site following the tutorial, the adb reboot bootloader command just normally restarted the phone and wouldnt put me into bootloader mode, then after manually going to bootloader mode i tried to flash the img with no luck at all and the phone wasnt showing up on adb devices aswell on bootloader mode
then i tried using odin and gave it the tar file but never completed the flashing so im kind of stuck not being able to flash twrp and root the phone aswell so id appreciate your help
thanks for your time
edit: after trying again today and looking at the log, whenever i use odin it will either stop at setupConnection or recovery.img, the phone is also a galaxy j3 SM320FN
check the drivers while in download mode. fastboot devices shows you the phone while in download mode, adb devices shows you the phone while in system mode. these are different drivers. from fastboot you can boot the recovery.img without flashing for testing purposes
So I am trying to use the fastboot package on my samsung j600gt but it doesnt even redognize the device when I type fastboot devices.
adb devices works normaly.
After checking the device management on windows the usb drivers are up to date.
Also the bootlaoder was arrived by adb reboot bootloader . Any thougjt on what can be done to make fastboot work normally?.

Samsung devices don´t have fastboot mode enabled, Samsung calls bootloader to its download mode, that´s different.
What are you trying to do?

No. in this state you can´t, first try to bypass that, there are some forums with some tricks.
Hey there,everyone! I have a small problem here .So I have this old Android phone (SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND QUATTRO GT-I8552)that i wanted to use to experiment with rooting and flashing custom roms(I am new to this) I tried unlocking the bootloader. The problem is that my phone couldnt be recognized once I am in fastboot mode (it can be detected when it's in normal mode/adb devices).I tried it on my current phone( Vivo Y55s) and it could be recognized tho.Any ways to get my phone detected in fastboot mode? I tried installing the drivers but i think that i messed it up.
On Windows computer install "Android USB Driver" matching your phone what is based on Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.

I tried it but it still doesn't works.(i tried reinstalling the driver and it still doesn't work)
If you didn't unlock bootloader in a proper way, your phone won't connect to fastboot.
Make sure you follow the steps to unlock bootloader, it happened to me before when I wanted to get root.

But how do I unlock my phone's bootloader if i can't access my device through fastboot mode?
Edit : I haven't unlock the bootloader yet.
First of all, fastboot is not compatible with Samsung, Samsung does not have a fastboot mode. Samsung devices use download mode a.k.a. Odin mode.
If you do not have the OEM unlock setting, you will not be to unlock the bootloader by any other means. Not all Samsung devices have this setting. Basically, you're screwed, you won't be able to unlock bootloader on your device.

I found this in another thread.
The best thing I personally recommend is to get TWRP, flash it from Odin....
I don't know if you want to acquire root. Hope this helps.

Sure, i will try that method first and let you know.
After entering recovery I realized that it has a "Reboot to bootloader" on my Samsung phone. And it doesn't reboot to Download mode, instead, it reboots to a "Fastboot mode". Does this Fastboot really work or it's better do not modify anything there?

It seems the A10? Which model is? At least type fastboot devices to see if it is listed in CMD, anyway locked as it is you couldn't do much.

As I has knew since I used HTC M7. ''Locked'' status , it means the phone can't flash any custom ROM. my phone is Samsung M20 . it don't show as your picture

No, it's a A015M. After looking for some help, I realized that it really doesn't work.

Using Samsung Android 11 default ROM - nothing modified. I'm trying to boot custom recovery (twrp) temporarily from PC console.
What I did to set up adb and fastboot:
OEM unlocked, usb debugging active, not rooted.
I installed latest ADB and Fastboot. Also installed Samsung USB drivers. Samsung doesn't provide fastboot drivers, and I've read on some thread that AOSP drivers are used for that. So, I'm using Google's Bootloader Interface installed via Device Manager, because plenty of guides suggest that online.
Problem:
I can use adb when phone's on. But when it comes to fastboot, I can get into it by 'adb reboot bootloader' and, i can see the device is listed using 'fastboot devices', but i can't really do anything at all other than that command.
I tried 'fastboot oem device-info', 'fastboot boot twrp.img'. I don't get any error messages. When I execute a command, the command just stays there on the terminal like it is busy executing. Waiting for over 15 minutes and there's no change.
Ex: When I executed the boot command, the console output was stuck at 'Sending boot.img', without any progress.

That's not my device, it's from a YouTube video, because I couldn't take any picture until now. My device is listed as unlocked.
Samsung devices don't know of Fastboot mode but of Download ( aka ODIN ) mode, hence not any fastbbot command works.

I think fastboot is only there because it is a MTK device.
If it's a Samsung SM-A015M then it's not MTK, but Qualcomm based.
I have j7 2015 and i have twrp and i want to do "fastboot boot <magisk patched image>" but i can't do it because i can't get inside fastboot mode
Any soulotions please?
Sorry for bad English.
As said earlier here Samsung devices don't have a FASTBOOT mode

With fastboot it is possible to enable the UART serial interface for viewing kernel messages. Is it even possible to do that on Samsung devices, since fastboot is not available?
