Trying to install /e/OS on FP3, but it hangs on fastboot on Windows 10

Hi!
Yesterday, I received my brand new Fairphone 3 and I wanted to install /e/OS on it. However, I have some struggles with enabling fastboot on Windows 10. Hopefully someone can help me.
First, it is important to state that I was able to unlock the bootloader with fastboot on Windows 10, by following the official Fairphone guideluines; I unlocked dev settings and enabled usb debugging properly.
Next, after resetting everything to factory settings, I was able to boot in fastboot mode, whereafter I was trying to run ‘fastboot -w’ (which is the first step in order to flash /e/OS, according to the docs). After this, the terminal session hanged on ‘< waiting for any devices >’. Also, ‘fastboot devices’ did not reveal anything.
The following things I have tried to fix fastboot -w (all without success):
- Install Universal ADB Drivers
- Trying to change the driver in device settings. Even after removing the driver and rebooting Windows 10, the driver pops up as ‘FP3’ when I plug in the phone by usb (I do not understand why, maybe Windows is installing drivers in the background?)
- Installed the SDK 9.0 via Android Studio. After this, the phone is known as Samsung device (?)
- Toggling USB Preferences in Android between File Transfer and PTP
- Tried all USB ports on my computer
- Full phone factory reset

When you boot into fastboot mode and connect to PC, open device manager and see if it lists the driver as "Android Bootloader interface".
If it isn't showing android bootloader interface, you will have to manually select the bootloader interface driver by right clicking on the driver showing for your device. Then select update driver. Then choose the options that let choose drivers from resources already installed on your PC, when you get to where it shows a list of drivers to choose from, find the bootloader interface driver and select it then see if the PC recognizes the device while in fastboot mode.

I do not see the interface you mention, however, I see 'Android' under 'other devices' and 'FP3' under 'portable devices' and 'Google Nexus ADB Interface' under SAMSUNG Android Phone (I did not install this, I assume Windows did this in the background).
Which option should I select to install the driver manually? Or none of them?

Device descriptor request failed after connecting redmi note 5 pro

Hi there,
I had reboot my Redmi note 5 pro in fastboot mode, (shown in capture4 picture). Then i tried to read the fastboot devices connected to my system using the command- "fastboot devices". Then, in the devices it showed a devices but with "??????" like id. After that it got disconnected. Now when I am trying to connect my phone to the system, then "USB device not recognized" error is coming.
I tried to connect my mobile in another system, but there also same error is coming. The problem is not getting solved. I even made factory reset by going to settings, to try to make the phone read in system as earlier. But it is not getting recognized now. What should I do. Please help.. I am attaching screenshots.

It's installed, it's not working. The phone is not getting read in the system altogether. the USB device is getting recognized, neither in ADB devices nor in device manager or in my computer.

In Windows Device Manager ADB isn't shown under heading "Universal Serial Bus controllers" but under heading "ADB Interface" or "Android Phone" or similar, and this only when phone is connected to PC and ADB server got started.

Do you think I don't know this? I know how to view ADB devices very well. The phone is not showing anywhere. Please try to understand fully.

The phone is connected, ADB drivers and Xiaomi drivers are installed, still the phone is not showing in device manager. The phone is altogther not recoginzed by system. It's a different issue. The phone is even not shown in my computer or anywhere, just not recognized USB device.

OnePlus 8 T-Mobile Conversion Problem

Hi all,
I am trying to convert my T-Mobile IN2017 OnePlus 8 to have a global rom. I am currently on 10.5.7.IN55CB and I am following this tutorial here. My bootloader is unlocked (by using the official binaries I got emailed from OnePlus). My PC has driver signature verification off and is in test mode. It seems that my installer is stuck at this point:

because the driver is not installed for recovery I think:
I have tried installing/reinstalling the OnePlus drivers to no avail. The installer runs perfectly fine while in fastboot mode, but does not work once rebooted into recovery. If someone can send me the driver or show what I am doing wrong, it would be much appreciated!

See my post here:

You're having the same issue I had. You need to install the fastboot drivers while it's connected in that state from your screenshot. Grab the drivers from Foxy Drew's post (linked in mine above), run the installer until it hangs, then update the drivers on the PC. When I did this the flash-all installer immediately kicked back into gear and finished the process.
The problem, I, think, is that you need to install adb drivers and fastboot drivers while the phone is in 3 different boot modes: normal, fastboot/recovery, and bootloader. So you need to get the phone to be recognized in all of those states so you can apply the drivers to the device the PC "sees" when it's connected in each of those states. Every boot mode basically presents itself as a different device to the PC, and that 3rd fastboot mode is hidden until you get to the spot you show in your screenshot.
Hope that works for you.

Thank you so much for your help! I was actually able to get it to work by doing something really similar. I'll post what I did just in case someone runs into this exact issue:
1) I made sure that I had all the drivers installed
2) I did the entire process over again until I got to that part where my device was no longer recognized
3) I went into device manager > IN2017 > update driver > drivers installed on this pc > chose from a list > Android phone > Android bootloader interface
I did this all while the converter was running and my phone was plugged into my pc. Once I did this, the program continued and I was able to finish the install.

Yep, I think that's exactly what I did. I can't remember which fastboot drivers I updated to bit I'll bet they're both the same, and that's the point in the process where I updated drivers as well.
Cheers!

Question MiUnlockTools doesn't detect my phone

Hi everyone,
I wanna unlock bootloader of my phone, but MiUnlockTools doesn't detect it, however `fastboot devices` command show device. I tried different versions of MiUnlockTools (6.5.314.7, 5.5.224.24, 4.5.814.51), different bootloader interface drivers: by Google of 2013 and by Xiami of 2016, nothing changed.
Also I tried to install XiaoMiTool V2, it recognize device and switch from fastboot to system with adb, and Mi PC Suite, all was useless.
I use Windows 10.0.19044 with Test Mode and with disabled driver signification, stock USB Cable with USB 2.0 port, usb debugging and OEM is enabled in MIUI, all tools was executed in administrator mode.
I read lot of threads with same issues, tried all suggested solutinons, bot nothing works. Does anyone can help me?

I think more that it's some version of Windows because I had exactly the same problem with a w10 Intel pc and it worked with a w10 AMD pc.

Android PC Problem

So I have a Crosstopic Android and Windows 10 Problem. I installed Havoc Os 4.16 on my device and now my HP Laptop does not show the Redmi 5 Plus Phone in the device Manager, but the device is charging.
But when I go into Fastboot mode the device is showing and I can use USB-Debugging.
I tried different cables and ports.
USB Debugging and Root is Enabled.
What can I do?

Wrong ADB driver in use. Download and install the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Android USB driver.

Thanks for the reply.
So I already did the following.
1) Downloaded the correct Driver with the inf file.
2) went to fastboot on my device and connected it to the Pc
3) Installed ADB Driver via Update Driver
What am I doing wrong? Is there maybe a exe file so I do not need to connect my phone to install the right driver?

To install ADB driver on PC it's NOT required Android device and PC are connected via USB: why should they also be connected?

So when I connect it via Fastboot the Driver Shows up otherwise when I do not connect it I do not have a Driver to install.

I don't understand why you keep talking about FastBoot: ADB and FastBoot are two completely different drivers: ADB allows you to operate on device's Android OS, whereas FastBoot allows you to operate on device's bootloader.

Exactly what I did. I tried installing the Android ADB Interface. But then see The Device cannot start Code 10.

The error code 10 is a common driver error in Windows OS. It indicates that the driver for the specific device is failing to load.
You can try to uninstall then reinstall the driver.
