Hi,
i had motherboard issue on renoir, so i replaced an empty locked motherboard. Now i cant flash from fastboot because its locked, and i must enter in edl mode, but i cant reach it, even shorting pins. I dont have windows PC and i emulate it. Usually emulation works, emulated machine see my device when in fastboot. i tryed also vol +/- toghether but nothing, and 'fastboot oem edl' when in fastboot, but i get 'edl token verify failed'.
Any help appreciated

Hi
I have got a hero on the cheap currently using an iPhone boot looking to move over.
The hero has a custom rom on it, I would liketo try others. Holding down the home button and powering on just leaves it with the G2 boot screen. Holding down back button and power brings me into fastboot USB. When connected to the mac I am unable to see the device / list it using adb devices. If I boot into the os and connect to the mac not mounting the sdcard I can see the device with adv devices.
I'm trying to install a recovery image, this is proving dificult with not seeing the device in fastboot.
Has anyone any thought/suggestions on to resolve? Or point me in the direction of some threads to read.

use fastboot devices when in fastboot...
HI,
thanks for the reply, when in fastboot on the device I use fastboot which i have downloaded from the andriod site and put in my "tools" folder when trying to lash a recovery image it just comes back with a prompt saying "waiting for device"
thanks
just to make sure: you turn off the phone, then turn it on again while holding down BACK. this brings you to a screen with a white background and fastboot written somewhere. then you plug in the usb cable and execute "fastboot devices". if it still doesn't recognize your device then you got a problem somewhere, no idea where though. not sure if windows needs drivers or anything for fastboot to work correctly...
Yes that's correct.
Phone is recognize in everything other than when connected by fastboot.
Thanks for your input
Hey friends i was able to unlock bootloader of my REDMI NOTE 3 OFFICIALLY.
I wan to root the device and install TWRP but for tat i have to connect my phone in fastboot mode.
The thing is phone is recognised as an adb device when it is on but after putting the phone in fastboot mode my laptop is not showing in cmd after " fastboot devices" command
plz help if anyne know how to fix this.
How are you putting it in fastboot mode?
did you already install correct driver in your pc?
you can try to instal latest mi pc suite which will help you to instal correct driver for your phone.
If you're already success unlocking with official way..then it's mean your fastboot driver already correct (if you're using the same computer when you're unlocking before)
Maybe i think you're missed something to put your phone into fastboot mode..
First way you can go into fastboot mode with ADB command while your phone already ON, just typing command "adb reboot bootloader" then enter..your phone will reboot into fastboot mode
Second way to go into fastboot mode firstly you must turn off your phone..just wait until that phone is truely OFF..
then press and hold volume down button..then followed with pressing and hold power button..your phone will booting into fastboot mode.
For the life of me I can not get my wife's phone into bootloader mode. I have read tons of threads that all say to either hold down power and vol down OR plug in the usb cord (connected to computer) while holding the vol down button.
The power+vol down results in the recovery mode and the other causes a vibration then goes to the %charging screen.
I have adb working cause it returns the device number and also reboots... BUT neither <adb reboot recovery> OR <adb reboot-bootloader> does anything but reboot normally.
Here's the deal, I am trying to get her stock phone to run Android Pay but it fails the safety net. There is a chance that I unlocked the bootloader but without having access to fastboot I can't run <fastboot getvar unlocked> to check.
So my questions are:
Is there some way to get into fastboot that I am missing?
Is there a way to know if the bootloader is unlocked besides fastboot command?
Any thoughts on reasons a stock phone would fail safety net besides the unlocked bootloader is welcome also.
Thanks.
PS. This V-10 in nothing like ny Nexus phones. LOL
hi there, I have a xiaomi device that only goes in fastboot mode. Putting out of fastboot results in a reboot and after that black screen.
-No way to flash with miflash because it needs your phone to be unlocked.
- i cant put the phone in edl because usb debugging needs to be on and i cant go in settings.
phone got detected by my pc when in fastboot mode
What to do now???

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't see any other way, my opinion is that you should unlock it.
HIT THANKS IF FOUND USEFUL
unlock is not possible because you need to put on usb debugging and oem unlock in developer settings but my phone dont start up.
Hi , tell me did you check if your device is recognised in ADB & fastboot command tool ?
Greetings,
I haven't seen this method discussed, so I'm posting it here for any of you that may need an alternative way to grab your phone's serial number besides booting into the OS fully. One example of this scenario: You restarted the phone and forgot that Android already downloaded and is going to try and install a newer OS on the next boot. There's a whole bunch of reasons one may find themselves hesitant to boot into normal or safe mode, so here's a way to grab the serial from fastboot without using an IMEI lookup:
To enter fastboot AKA Download mode:
Cable plugged in (either power or to host machine)
Volume Down + Power key for a few seconds until you feel the vibration.
Remove finger from Power, but keep holding Volume Down.
[You should now be in fastboot mode, aka "Download mode". It has a barcode with your IMEI in it.]
If you then connect your phone to a machine with adb and fastboot, you should be able to type:
fastboot getvar serialno
or, you'll probably like this one better, which includes the serial number in addition to a few pages of details.
fastboot getvar all
This trick probably works on all phones, now that I think about it, but I haven't tried
Hope this helps someone!
Peace
