Fastboot and ADB? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Could anyone point me in the direction of a working ADB and Fastboot package for Galaxy Note 8? I tried using the Minimal ADB and Fastboot and it doesn't work at all(which used to work fine for all my previous devices). Or am I missing any special steps for the ADB to work?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Minimal adb works fine. have you actually enabled adb debugging on the phone?

Yes, I have. I have no idea why it doesn't detect my phone in ADB or fastboot mode.

[Q] adb "waiting for device"

I spent a good part of the day reading through all the steps to get my new device (just arrived, 4.4) rooted. I've had several rooted devices before, but always used tools to do it.
Never used adb before, but managed to get the SDK installed and have been playing around with it. That's as far as I got, however.
On my mac, using terminal, I can get adb to see my device (type ./adb devices and it lists it as connected).
When I go through this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
to do any fastboot commands, I always get "waiting for device." Previously I got some kind of pipe error. Yes, usb debugging is on.
I think I'm pretty close to getting flashed down to 4.2.2, just can't get the adb to work.
tl;dr - adb gives me "waiting for device" forever. any ideas how to fix?
Thanks very much!

if your phone is turned on when it is connected to the computer then you can't run fastboot commands. you can only run adb commands. If your phone is in "fastboot mode" / bootloader screen, then you can run fastboot commands but not adb commands. Not sure this is your issue but based on your info it is my best guess at where you are having problems.

that sounds about right! thanks!
how do I get the phone into fastboot mode/bootloader screen? or better yet, when i'm doing this whole process, in what mode should the phone be and how do I get it there?

[Q] adb Help Please

Hi
Moto X
Rooted
Resurrection Remix 5.1.1
BL unlocked
Phone unlocked
In the platform-tools "adb devices" command returns just a blank!
I've tried every solution I can find on the net and nothing works.
Is it the ROM?
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks
Steps I would take. Make sure adb debugging is checked on in developer options. Make sure Moto drivers are installed correctly. Try a different USB port (2.0 not 3.0). Try a different USB cable.

Mine does that when I am using a charging-only cable because it doesn't have data lines to connect to the computer. YCMV (Your Cable May Vary)
If you are running a unix-like OS like Linux, OS X, etc., then you will need to do:
Code:
[B]sudo[/B] adb devices
Once you have the daemon running with elevated privileges then you will be able to run any other adb command without having to run it through sudo -- until you close that terminal session.
I don't know if this principle would apply when you are using a non-privileged account in Windows. But if you are logged in as a normal user (the safe way to run Windows) then try running CMD.exe 'As Administrator' and see if that works for you.
Thanks all
Got it to work. needed to not be in bootloader mode!

ADB fastboot

Has anyone tried using adb fastboot on Samsung Galaxy Note 8 recently.
I have tried unsuccessfully to get the fastboot work using Windows and Macbook with the latest Samsung Samsung drivers for fastboot. Even installed the fastboot drivers from Android Development platform but still no luck beyond <waiting for device>.
I read on another forum that Samsung no longer allows fastboot to work with their devices. Is it correct?
Fastboot as I understand it is an extension of Android recovery.
If you have USB Debugging enabled on your device, you should be able to issue commands: adb reboot fastboot
Fastboot commands also work in bootloader.
@V0latyle
Thanks for your reply.
I have USB debugging enabled alongwith the unlocked bootloader, as my device is rooted.
Recently, I was trying to use adb fastboot to flash boot image file of my Samsung device. However, it kept displaying <waiting for device> .
I tried the same command from my MacBook using Android platform tools, but result was still the same.
All adb commands work very well on Windows and MacBook without any hiccups.

The appropriate command to flash /boot would be:
Code:
fastboot flash boot <boot image>

Question (solved) fastboot doesnt function (on cmd)

today I wanted to update the adb drivers, I deleted the old ones and installed 1.0.41, adb devices works, the rest too but the fastboot commands don't work, like fastboot devices it doesn't give me anything, not even the list of device attached devices, fastboot reboot gives me wait for device, does anyone know the solution? (redmi note 10 5G drivers installed)
Use old drivers that worked
