Hi @ all
I'm working on unlocking my bootloader
and it always get stuck on this "factory reset for first bl unlock" thing
and I think it is because of missing fastboot drivers ( possibly that's why it's working
on linux distros).
When my phone get stuck and I go into device manager in Win 7
there's a fastboot device with a yellow triangle (=missing drivers),
so do anybody know how I can get those drivers?
I already installed latest LG drivers (through LG Update Tool and from a external download)
and I updated adb and that whole thing but still no fastboot drivers
Are there any drivers available for our v20A yet?
Thanks for your help in advance,
you guys are awesome

you don't need the fastboot driver simply type adb reboot oem-unlock, the official way...

Youl'll find fastboot drivers here, in post number 17 by 'nedooo'. He attached them in his post. They worked for me!
Well I think you didn't get where I got stuck
I do the official way (or any other way) and I get into the
unlock procedure menu, then I press volume up
and it says "Download Mode" (in red) and nothing happens
but the fastboot device is recogniced in windows (without drivers).
If I unplug the usb before or after the download mode thing appears
it shows the next line (factory reset for first bootloader unlock ... please wait).
But then nothing happens
Tried plugging usb back in and power button but nothing happens after that.
So I think it's the fastboot driver

How do you install them? I run the Install.exe but nothing happens. I am running it as administrator too. And the FilterDriverInstaller.exe is in chinese so I don't think it's that one. Sorry if this is a super noobish question.
Edit: Don't. Just don't.... **** I'm retarded
Edit 2: I have the same problem (stuck on factory reset), but I can't seem to find the fastboot driver with the yellow triangle in device manager. Is it something completely else that's causing my problem?
Edit 3: Don't know why, but I now get the message Done... Now ready!
You guys need windows 7 PC to unlock the device. And make sure your PC have android fast boot drivers given by needooo installed in. If drivers in PC are not perfectly configured you can't unlock your device. Why windows 7? Known truth windows 8 sucks. You can't install fast boot drivers in windows 8
Not yet solved you must be missing something do as it is in the post.

Yeah you are stuck like me , if you unplug the charger , it will give u the factory reset line and says please wait ... then it will do nothing. Yesterday I found these on the forum I think I ll try their ways :
Killah.inc said:
I had problem to, to install the drivers to but i find a very easy way.
1, uninstall the LG suport tool and then reinstall it agien.
2, connect phone to computer.
3, open LG suport tool and from it uppdate/install adb drivers. (If u have drivers but maby wrong drivers uppdate, if u dont have drivers you install).
4, now u have the latest and right drivers on your device.
For me that worked very good....good luck

Few posts before yours there's a link to fastboot drivers. Just install those manually. For me those where the only one working so you should give it a try
The problem seem to be that there are different fastboot versions or something similar.

I have a nandroid backup.
Its too big to keep on the phone at all times
Therefore its been placed on my computer
And in the case i need it (boot-loop), how can i transfer the backup while in CWM?
ADB seems to be the simplest way, but adb cannot find my device when it is in the bootloader or in custom recovery.
Am i missing something? Or is there another way to solve this issue.
If anyone could help, id be very grateful.
Hi

When you boot in fastboot and connect your phone to pc does it shows fastboot usb if yes then it is recognised if no then you will have to download the drivers if HTC and install them

yes fastboot usb is shown and all fastboot commands work, its just that adb doesnt work when its in bootloader or recovery.
I did some more digging around and found that when the phone is connected while in recovery, the computer recognizes it as a "HTC MTP device"..and thats it. I cant upgrade the drivers of the said device or essentially do anything with it.
What am i missing?
ADB should only work under Recovery. I found that with the last HTC driver it didn't install for when you are under Bootloader, Recovery, or Fastboot. I forgot what version actually worked the best but it might have been the 3 series drivers. Anyway while under Recovery you'll have to force the HTC drivers to install thru your Device Manager. It will not automagically detect them. I would start with these drivers and try them out.
HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe
Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72.zip
HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

Thanks for the reply, ive tried the first two drivers, work fine when the phone is booted, but no avail in recovery. The laptop shows the device connected as "My HTC" while in recovery, but im unable to use adb commands as adb doesnt connect to it. Ill try the third 3 series driver and post an update in a few.
UPDATE: wont install, im running windows 8 and it says this driver is not compatible with this operating system.

Does it say its offline? What do you actually see when using adb. As for the driver in Windows 8, you have to disable driver signature checking to use them. There is a thread in the Nexus 4 forum on how to do this, which is here:

installed the 3 series driver, still the same problem. Heres some photos (which i should have attached originally) of whats happening.
The pictures are while the phone is normally booted, and then when the phone is in recovery.
Edit: Uninstalled all of the HTC drivers and devices inside the device manager, and only installed the Universal Naked Driver, the phone now shows up with a different name in device manager, but STILL does not work while in recovery.
Another pictures attached of how device manager looks with just the Universal Driver while in recovery.
anyone?
i have the same problem as u.. I tried both my missus Windowss PC now.. It used to detect it before. Now it suddenly doesn´t anymore. On my mac, same deal. Nothing detected.
Been googling around and i have found threads but they all end unsolved. ADB returns ADB devices blank. Kill-server or adb remount does nothing. in Fastboot USB its totally a ghost.
found any fixes?
I'm clueless too. I can only think to try other recoveries. Philz CWM comes to mind. I also uploaded the latest google usb drivers for you incase you want to try that out too. Google v7 USB drivers I think they are called. You'll probably have to force install them since they won't detect. Included the adb and fastboot from the SDK too. Last thing I can probably suggest is to try different USB port. Oh and TWRP too since it has the terminal built in it you could try starting up ADB from there.
Me too...
Did anyone ever resolve this? I'm facing it now, having tried multiple recoveries. Previously was able to use adb fine. (I'm on a mac.)

In case this helps someone else: The reason I lost adb was that I'd installed the drivers on my mac for EasyTether. There's a note about this on the EasyTether FAQ page. When I disabled the EasyTether driver, I was able to use adb again.

Re Install HTC drivers manually, windows sees HTC until you boot into recovery mode and try to use ADB, It worked for me.
HTC One(M7) not recognized by adb
Condition:
HTC One(M7) - rooted; s-ON; GPE ROM 4.3.1
Recovery - CWM
I have a similar problem with my HTC One(M7). I'm working mainly on a mac (OSX Maverick), but I have also tried using a PC (Windows 8). I accidentally wiped the data on the phone while in recovery, and now I have a phone that only boots to the bootloader and recovery. Since backups usually take a lot of memory, I kept all of mine on my computer. The simple fix I've been trying to do is sideload the ROM to the phone through adb, however adb does not find the device. I repeatedly get the "device not found". However the device is recognized in fastboot, and i always get the "fastboot USB" when it is connected. So I am unable to flash the ROM I need to the phone because it is unable to communicate with either computer. On the PC I made sure to have had the proper drivers, I downloaded HTC SYNC, and have tried updating them manually. However I always get the "error Code 43". The PC also does not recognize the device, so again I am unable to communicate with the device. Can I plz get any help, I have tried reading multiple forums, but have had no luck trying any solution. I would really appreciate any advise; Im desperate to fix the phone.

Take a look at this FAQ post and see if this doesn't help solve your problems. I would also recommend updating your CWM recovery to the latest.
having a similar problem. My system and everything is wiped all I have is TWRP 2.6.0.1 and I'm trying to end with cyanogenmod. theres no sdcard slot so my only option is an adb push through recovery. Adb doesnt recognize it, it just doesn't return anything in the list of devices when i type adb devices. in devmgmt it lists my phone as a disk drive... I have tried to update the drivers to the universal naked ones, but then windows says that it already found and installed the best driver software I have the T-Mobile variant but I thought I'd post here since this problem is more than likely not carrier specific and I didn't wanna add another thread. I can do fastboot just fine when in fastboot usb mode, but in recovery no adb... I can't install the naked drivers it just says that the file is incompatible

Hey all. Trying to unlock my bootloader but fastboot keeps just waiting for device. I have my phone on the bootloader/fastboot (black screen, blue LED) and it's connected to my computer but fastboot just won't find it. I have manually installed the ADB/Fastboot drivers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39856834 to no avail.
I have rebooted the computer and the phone several times. USB debugging and unknown sources are marked on the phone.
I've also got this issue where the latest .422 update keeps failing. I did a factory reset several times and no matter what that update just won't install. Not sure if it's possibly related.
Also, device manager shows Android ADB interface under Android Devices so I know it's connected and picking it up.
SOLVED - connected the device in flashmode and reloaded an unbranded .ftf file which worked a charm

Load up flashtool and then connect your phone in both flashmode and fastboot. Flashtool will say if it has picked it up and what means, if no go in flashtool check drivers are installed if drivers are not installed and your on Windows 8 then follow the drivers installation via cmd in my sig, shadow boy didn't update the post before he left us all

Install the drivers again.
I've had the same problem in windows 8.1... Fastboot device cannot be recognized by the system, but i don't know why; the problem was "Error enumerating device id". If you see hardware id, it doesn't exists and the driver won't be found. I returned to windows 7.

load wubi (windows ubuntu installer) over the link http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Wubi
than install ubuntu, on harddrive C:// and reboot your Pc
Now you have a linux in your current system, you can remove ubuntu (linux) in Programms & feautures list in windows.
now reboot reboot the system and isntall in ubuntu fastboot.
you musst give in the terminal sudo apt-get fastboot
and now you can flash your bootloader in linux.
but you musst sudo bevor you type fastboot flash type sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
you say it is easy
gooogle wubi (windows ubuntu installer)
im here.. me too facing the same weird problem.
in 8.1 os it worked at first but then it didnt recognizing my device. reinstalled the 8.1 os and tested and same result. worked at first then fu**ed up again.
hope someone will get ride of this prob in 8.1ois :/
Same..
Exactly the same problem here. On windows 8, no issue. After updating to 8.1, "Error enumerating device id". I've tried everything, but nothing.
I had my xperia without kernel, and I REALLY needed Fastboot, so I had to go to a W7 pc, and no issue then.
Ohh, and I can't disable driver verification on W8.1 . When i'm in advanced boot menu, I just can't press any key. The keyboard doesn't work, and I have to Hard Reboot. Any idea?
EDITED
This worked for me : http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/
So now I can use fastboot/ flashmode, but only if I connect the phone to an usb 3.0 port. On 2.0 the issue is still there.

Nice share brotha.
I want to make it work for x32 bit
Sent from my LT25i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As I see the only way to get access to fastboot and flash mode is to use windows 8 or lower.
Here is the cause of our problem and there is no solution so far: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog...8-0-but-fail-on-windows-8-1-with-code-43.aspx
EDIT: I used the old XP machine of my parents to unlock the bootloader and everything worked fine
well w8.1 certainly cannot use fastboot if you plug it into USB 2.0 port..as microsoft has change it usb policies in w8.1, the only way to use fastboot in w8.1 is to plug into a USB 3.0 hub, and install your driver the same way before..
Greetings,
Yesterday i tried to flash twrp + havoc os, like on my previous phone, but i got stuck right on the begining when ADB says the device wasn't found, I have the phone unlocked, usb debugging allowed, and i can access phones internal storage from windows just fine, entered fastboot and still nothing.
Weird thing is after i entered fastboot the Device Manager changed the name of phone to just "Android"
and driver failed to install, then i tried to search the driver with windows built in driver search, and driver was sucesfully installed, but the phone still can't be found by ADB. Really don't know which can be the cause. I have win 7 by the way. Hope somebody can help me with my problem, i appreciate any tips.
Thanks and have a great weekend

Sounds like the fastboot drivers are missing. I'm sure you can find the drivers if you google it or just download the mi flash tool and install the drivers from there. Test the type c as well maybe the cable has the problem (try to use the official one), test it from a different usb, or an other PC or laptop if you have any.
I had similar issues before using mi flash tool, I tried on my other laptop and was working fine.
Thank you for your advice, it was due to drivers, but now im struggling with some very weird problem, i managed to flash twrp, and installed havoc (later tried lineage) succesfully, but when i boot the phone, it boots into fastboot instead of android for some reason, i tried installing the rom several times, everytime succesfully, deleted dalvik cache and so on.. Its just booting to fastboot for some reason.
