Question Fastboot stuck on "waiting for device". Whatever OS I use.

Hi there,
I have just purchased a Zenfone 8, the bootloader is unlocked (I have the ugly message saying that the phone can"'t be trusted because bootloader is unlocked bla bla bla at startup).
However, while adb works, I can't get fastboot to recognize my device.
I tried on W10 and 11, also on Linux Mint.
Other phones are recognized properly by fastboot, but not the zenfone 8. And of course, fastbootd doesn't work.
Anyone faced this issue?
Thanks,
Anghi

}

I can get into fastboot mode. Using combo key or even "adb reboot bootloader". But on this screen, then fastboot does not recognize the device
And I have tried both bootloader (in principle fastboot) and fastbootd (the one within the recovery) screens. Fastboot commands don't work under both screens.

I think to get fastboot working I had to install the Asus specific driver on my pc

Ok thanks. Let me try.

Okay, solved by trying several USB C wires.
Thanks for the advices and help!

I have tried thses methods but it didnt work or I dont know the commands. Pls, I need help

You will be in CSC FB mode only, as long as your bootloader is locked. Unlocking your bootloader again will bring you back in the right Fastboot mode. EDL mode should work however, don't know why you have trouble with it...

why are you trying to flash the DFE? Isn't it easier to just flash the magisk?

I flashed magisk but now i stuck on boot logo MIUI and after some time i rebooted into twrp recovery

First just a helpful hint, Minimal ADB hasn't been updated in a long time but it still works great. Just go to Googles site, download the small ADB package and replace the ADB and Fastboot exe's from the download into Minimal and replace.
My phone for example won't work with the old files included with minimal.
Anyway, onto your issue. Don't know MIUI but get the jist of what you're doing. To me this appears that unless this was tailor made for your phone, it tried rewriting the boot partition, not enough space so it tried compressing. Rewrote the boot partition and failed.
So you don't have a boot image or it's corrupt. Again don't know MIUI but it's probably soft bricked and you'll need to reflash or restore a backup which I assume/hope you made since you have TWRP

Question How to reflash bootloader

Hi guys, something is wrong with my bootloader i assume. I cant get in recovery or the system. Only in fastboot. The only way to get into PixelExperience is by giving the phone the command: fastboot continue. How can I reflash the bootloader? fastboot flashing unlock_critical is an unknown command btw

Try to flash stock ROM via miflash
Or if unlocked, in fastboot flash recovery and reboot to recovery. Then flash custom rom

Reinstall latest Xiaomi USB drivers into your Windows. That simple thing fixed an annoying blank response with "fastboot devices."

Help. My device is bootlooping, fastboot mode is working but cannot flash anything

Hello. I have motorola x4 Indian variant (xt1900-2). I have bootloader unlocked on my device. Few days ago I had Pixel Experience 12 running on my phone, and I tried to update it to Pixel Experience 13 using PixelExperience's own recovery through ADB Sideload. It worked but after that I tried to flash gapps using same way but it was not working. I thought TWRP recovery can install it So I flashed TWRP zip using same method in recovery's update using ADB Sideload option. Recovery got flashed.
Now, my phone is bootlooping since then after it rebooted to system after flashing twrp zip. I can access fastboot on my phone, but any command I enter in fast such as 'fastboot boot recovery.img' gets stuck forever.
Also, sometimes commands dont even work. Fastboot says unknown command. I tried using different cables on diffrent ports including 2.0, 3.0 ports, and also using c-to-c type cable but still no luck. I even tried to downgrade to Windows 10 from 11. Still same issue. I Can't boot to recovery, cant flash recovery, cant boot into OS, just fastboot is working.
