I've searched and searched for a solution to this, nothing is working. Really need help guys.
Phone is on stock ICS rom, PC is Win8 Pro x64. All three files are in the folder, SDK is installed (x64 version), Google USB driver installed, Java for windows installed, and HTC Sync installed but not running.
When in FASTBOOT and USB connected it shows FASTBOOT USB. Device manager shows Android Phone - Android ADB Interface. Is this correct or should it show something else in device manager?
No matter what I've tried when running fastboot oem get_identifier_token in command prompt I get waiting for device. Also running fastboot devices returns nothing.
Don't know what else to try... Seems it doesn't recognize the device but it's in device manager.
Edit: have also tried different usb ports and I know the cable works.
Edite 2: I fixed it. Took me hours to get this working but for any one struggling like I was here is what I did.
Got rid of all the drivers and started back at Android 1.0 in device manager. Manually installed the official SDK google usb driver and selected Android Bootloader Interface for Android 1.0. Also boot the phone and manually install again and select Android ADB Interface.
Here is what really caused me problems. The HTC tutorial I looked at said to take adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and adbWinApi.dll and put them in their own folder. This absolutely does not work for me even now. I used the directory straight from the SDK (sdk\platform-tools) and added fastboot.exe from a previous sdk revision into that folder. Now everything works!!! Finally!
Hi everyone!! I have the same issue as brother bassvoykevlar but the solution here expresed is not all clear to me. Can anyone please give me a hand on this, i am really mad with it . Thanks in advance.
The Best Solution
this problem has also happened with me and i found a solution to this,
this usually happens if your system lacks fastboot drivers.
ADB drivers can only Run ADB shell so that is why you need to have fastboot drivers as well to use fastboot commands.
i think you must have tried this code:
"fastboot oem unlock"
then cmd may have got stuck on "waiting for device"
don't worry install drivers for fastboot then it should work.
google it then get it.
there is 15seconds ADB,fasdtboot installer available try that.
then give it another try.

Been trying to root N1(FRG83) without unlocking bootloader. Downloaded android-sdk to c: drive and downloaded usb driver.
When I boot the N1 into fastboot mode and type fastboot from the cmd prompt on the computer it sees the phone and gives me the serial (HT****)
When I try the same thing from ADB (ADB devices) it doesn't recognize the phone. I just get a blank line and go back to the command prompt. I've tried this on 2 machines (1 Vista the other Windows 7) and get the same results.
The frustrating thing is that I actually had the phone recognized with the ADB devices command when I first set it up but got called away from the computer and never had a chance to run the rooting routine.
Anybody out there solved this problem?? All help appreciated.
Thanks.
download and install the sdks and nexus ine drivers manually.
thanks but no luck
Downloaded drivers as you suggested but no luck. Also tried reinstalling sdk. Debugging is on, Java is installed, I'm out of ideas for the moment.

Del everything...restart your pc, and download the drivers and sdk..it'll take a few more mins.
When this happened to me, I restarted my PC and it worked.

If I recall correctly, adb won't work while the phone is in fastboot mode - and that fact that your fastboot commands work fine indicates that it shouldn't be a driver issue. Make sure you're running the adb commands when your phone is actually booted (at least to recovery).
If the phone is recognized by the computer via usb, but the adb does not see the phone connected, you just may need to simply delete and reinstall the latest USB driver that is offered.
There is actually an issue with Nexus One's where the adb composite interface doesn't work. It seems related to the issue with the broadcom driver and the mac address starting with 38.
See here - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9437 - for more info.
I have now upgraded to frg83 and it works fine.

This. If you're running ADB in fastboot, you'll get nowhere.
I just purchased by OnePlus 3T and in the process of trying to unlock the bootloader. I have ADB while in stock oxygen os 4.0.2 but when entering fastboot to unlock the bootloader I no longer have access to the device. As per some searching I switched to a USB 2.0 port and still no luck. In device manager it shows my phone under "Other devices -> Android." I'm pretty sure i'm missing a driver for ADB, but can't figure out what is missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Install, restart.
Specifically in folder you have adb files, hold Shift+Right Click, open command prompt.
fastboot devices to confirm connection
fastboot oem unlock to get started.
Search for the one plus 3t toolkit. It has the original one plus drivers.
Then install minimal adb and fastboot.
And it should work. If it doesn't, try on another pc.
Well it's been a while since my last new phone totally forgot to install USB drivers all good to go, newb mistake thank you!
or plug your phone into the pc and use the emulated cd drive that appears to get the drivers

After having my phone since Monday, I just now noticed that emulated drive when I had to nuke it earlier today, lol.

TL;DR:
I am unable to get my phone to be recognized in fastboot by the fastboot utility, yet it is recognized by adb. I've tried a couple of different sources for drivers, both signed and unsigned. Each time I've installed drivers I've gone into Device Manager and removed previous disconnected device instances along with the drivers (checked remove driver box). Besides the fact that adb sees the phone fine with the cable I'm using, it's the same cable I have successfully used with my Samsung and Nexus devices. I'm at my wit's end. :crying: I could really use some help.
Full version:
I've followed the instructions from this thread to flash my phone into an OEM non-Prime device:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-convert-to-prime-rollback-ota-t3432499
It's now running V12. I want to verify the state of the bootloader and jump through the hoops to safely put V17 on it (without whacking the preloader, etc.). My problem is that when I try fastboot devices no devices are listed. However, adb devices shows the phone.
I installed ADB and fastboot v1.4.3 using the package from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
I've tried a couple of different sources for drivers, both signed and unsigned. Each time I've installed drivers I've gone into Device Manager and removed previous disconnected device instances along with the drivers (checked remove driver box). I've got tzul's signed drivers installed which were obtained from this post using the enclosed instructions (both those in the "Android" and "CDC" folders):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67927242&postcount=23
I also have the Android SDK's Platform Tools and Google USB driver installed and tried the adb and fastboot from there with the same results.
When booted to the Android OS, the phone shows up as Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager. When I use adb to try and reboot the phone into fastboot via adb reboot fastboot it merely reboots into the OS. To get into fastboot mode I have to do it via the bootloader (power+vol. up). When attatched in fastboot mode the phone shows up in device manager under "Other devices" as "Android" with The Yellow Triangle of Doom, and says drivers for the device aren't installed (Code 28). From what I've read, the drivers it's looking for are the in the "Android" folder of the drivers .zip I downloaded, which I have installed per the instructions.
Can someone please help me figure out what I've done incorrectly?
Fixed
As I had surmised, it was a driver issue. One of the driver bundles I had downloaded from androidmtk.com or another site foobar'd me. But before I had this straightened out, I gave up and used a Linux Mint virtual machine to verify my bootloader status, etc.
The way my drivers got straightened out was that I coincidentally ran Windows Update as I had updates available for which enough time had passed without reports of problems. Update offered me the following updates:
Important
Windows 8.1 Drivers
Microsoft - Other hardware - MTP Device
TP-LINK - Other hardware - Android Bootloader Interface
Windows 8.1 and later drivers
Samsung - Other hardware - Samsung Mobile MTP Device
Optional
Windows 8.1 Drivers
MediaTek - Other hardware - Android Composite ADB Interface
After installing these I again tried to use fastboot from my Windows box and it worked fine. So, one of the driver packs I installed screwed up my MTP drivers evidently (both the updates offered were from early last year). The TP-LINK driver was the VCOM I needed for fastboot to work.
So, all's well that ends swell.

I am having similar issues but I don't fully understand how the OP solved this problem. I believe I am connecting properly with ADB but no response from fastboot. Here is what I have done so far:
1) Installed the "15 Sec ADB Tool". Drivers seem to be working but could not located the ADB folder the tool was supposed to create. I suspect drivers were installed correctly because under Device Manager I have "Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface"
2) Directly downloaded latest SDK Platform Tools, which includes adb.exe & fastboot.exe, among other files. Tried testing the tools with the following results:
C:\Users\Phantom\Dropbox\Personal\IT\Android\SDK Platform Tools\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
5DFYRKKFQWBEQ4LJ unauthorized
C:\Users\Phantom\Dropbox\Personal\IT\Android\SDK Platform Tools\platform-tools>fastboot devices
C:\Users\Phantom\Dropbox\Personal\IT\Android\SDK Platform Tools\platform-tools>
Phone is turned on while doing the commands above. Could someone shed some light? Is the ADB response adequate? And should I get a fastboot response as well? If so, what could be the problem?
Lastly, phone has UBS Debug mode enabled.
Thanks in advance!

This shows adb is on , on your phone but you did not allow the connection. =. When you first connect pc to phone with usb cable and adb enabled , you should get a pop up window on the phone. You may need to wake the screen and unlock to see it. The window asks you to authorize the connection

You also missed a step here. You needed to reboot phone to bootloader /fastboot mode before asking to list fastboot devices.
So before that line you should have done "adb reboot bootloader"

mrmazak, you are absolutely right on both items. I wish I had come across something explaining this earlier... spent a lot of time sorting this out!
Hopefully this will help someone in the future!
I have had a very eventful few hours and I'll do my best to explain. Earlier this morning I was rooted, twrp installed and running FreedomOS. I had this bright idea of flashing a file I had downloaded from the OP3T website. It was a firmware file (either the first option, the option before OB5). Everything was running smoothly until I got home and tried using fastboot at which point it just sticks on waiting for device. All normal options are checked (adb files installed, debugging selected, the works), but now I can not use fastboot what so ever. I did at one point sideload an OTA using adb sideload (filename.zip). I have tried just about every adb option I can think of to include: 15 second ADB and minimal adb and fastboot. I even deleted the OP3T drivers from my computer, reinstalled those drivers. I followed an article through technobuzz: http://www.technobuzz.net/download-oneplus-3-usb-drivers/
http://www.technobuzz.net/setup-adb-fastboot-drivers-for-nexus-oneplus-samsung-or-any-android/
I have been using adb and fastboot with no issues up til Open Beta 5 and now my PC and another PC is giving me crap and it's iritating the %%%k out of me.
adb reboot recovery works, adb devices work - showing that the device is connected. I checked the device manager and only found the portable devices. It's like my computer somehow magically deleted the adb driver and will not allow me to install an adb driver. I have no logs to check out....15 second adb was suppose to place a log file on the desktop, but it doesnt....it wont install
Here's what Im on:
OB5 (7.1.1) with stock recovery. I can not use fastboot commands. Here are some pics
http://imgur.com/a/y7iFE
http://imgur.com/a/SVVMg You should see something that says, "Android Device or ADB", but nothing - just MTP
http://imgur.com/a/62msw
I'm using windows 10, device signature is off
Essentially I just want to be able to fastboot flash TWRP and gain root.
Has anyone else experienced any kind of issues with OB5 and adb/fastboot
Btw I had the entire Android SDK installed on another computer and that did not work either....Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm talking about you @redpoint73, lol
Oh boy, I've been summoned! I have to say, I'm not anywhere near knowledgeable yet with the 3T as I was with my past devices. But I'll try.
I assume you are properly trying fastboot commands while in fastboot mode (not in OS or recovery)? I assume so, since you already said it worked fine before the update. But it never hurts to ask the obvious, as a lot of folks forget that adb and fastboot work a bit differently (fastboot only in fastboot mode, adb only in OS or recovery - debugging only needed for adb, not fastboot).
Do you have the OP3T drivers installed? These are the files that Windows always opens whenever I connect the phone (while booted into phone OS), select File Transfer, and it gives the option to open the folder. Although I don't think you even need the drivers for fastboot to work. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP before I ever installed the OnePlus drivers. The generic fastboot drivers worked fine. But it's worth a try, to install the OP drivers.
I don't even know where to begin or how to reply to what you just said @redpoint73. I haven't attempted to use adb/fastboot commands since yesterday, so i have no idea as to rather it will work or not. If you have teamviewer, I can give your access to a backdoor to show you as it's easier to show then explain. Have you ever noticed when you download a zip from here: http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3t/#title-section
it never saves the file as Open Beta 3, 4, or etc. It saves the file as this long-named file.zip rather than being something easy to understand. Im able to understand it now, but a few moments ago I wasnt. I "have" downloaded the OP3T drivers on multiple occasions with no success to to fastboot only adb. My computer recognizes the device though. When I go into device manager checking things out. I will have an option that says, "portable devices". when you select that option you'll go across through some contextual menus where you wind up seeing MTP. You should see MTP if you successfully installed the OP3T devices, but at the same time you should be able to see an option that says something along the lines of ADB or Android Debug Bridge, vice versa. My computer does not say that and I have no idea where to go from here. I have no logs or anything helping me out, so it's like finding a needle in the haystack. I do know that I have all of the prereq's such as debugging selected from developers options within the phone, device signature turned off through Windows, adb/fastboot installed, OP3T drivers installed - you know the works you usually need in order to get everything working right. What I might end up doing is just reformatting my entire laptop, installing a fresh copy of windows, fresh copy of adb/fastboot and going from there. My bootloader is unlocked and has been since I've owned the device. As of right now I'm on OB5 with stock recovery. Yesterday I tried three times to sideload one of the downloads from this site: http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3t/#title-section
. However, my phone would end up saying, "installation failed" when Im in sideload mode. I'm thinking that might have something to do with a botched download from the OP3T server.
Looks like you found your solution here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72046709&postcount=20
Fastboot/adb is usually as simple as reinstalling drivers, etc. as opposed to reformat the PC as you were considering. Reinstalling adb/fastboot was a good idea also, as I don't think I would have thought of that (although it makes perfect sense). So good job working it out!
I have a problem after updating to latest June Security patch for Nokia 8 TA-1004. I had installed driver long time ago when I wanted to obtain root and there I did it. However, after updating to latest patch which also causes to lose root, I couldn't get my phone to detect adb in cmd. I tried reinstalling driver but still not working. USB Debugging is also on. What could this be the problem? I need help. I want to obtain root back. Thank you very much in advance.
Is your adb up to date? I'm using the latest version of Minimal ADB and Fastboot with bundled driver from my TA-1052, works like a charm.
Get that fork of ADB and Fastboot and use it straight out of cmd :

I've got ADB drivers installed and the N8 is correctly detected as a fastboot device when in "Download mode", however I cannot flash anything, most likely because "adb devices" does not show any device (it is correctly shown when fully booted up). So I'm guessing it's a driver problem...and the problem is that I cannot install the bundled drivers, either on my Win10 (the setup.exe doesn't do anything) laptop or my old W7 laptop (error). Can anyone help ? Thanks !
