[FIX] Fastboot on windows 8.1

Hey guys i saw a fix on general android here on xda. It works for me on windows 8.1
Hope it works for you, maybe this can get stickied so we dont get more questions about fastboot on windows 8,1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598155
As you all may now, Microsoft pushed the new driver stack in Windows 8.1 so ALL (not only USB 3.0) devices must provide a BOS descriptor. Sony ADB and Fastboot doesn't, so Windows fails to enumerate the device which is reported in Device Manager as error code 43.
This also may help if you have a USB drive or mouse and it stopped working after you upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
Microsoft said that the fix will come in February but for people who don't want to wait I prepaired a dirty solution:
proof - see attachment.
HTML Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

1.) Bring up Charms by mousing over to the right of the screen
2.) Go to Settings
3.) Change PC Settings
4.) General
5.) Scroll down to Advanced Startup > Restart Now
6.) Trouble shoot
7.) Advanced options
8.) Windows startup options
9.) Restart
10.) Choose F7 (I believe) or click on "Disable driver signature enforcement"
11.) Reboot
12.) Use Flashtool drivers and install fastboot and flashmode drivers.
Its easier on windows 8 than on windows 8.1 kinda

Easier way
1: Download android studio. 2: Open terminal and type in cd /Users/<User>/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools. 3: Put ur device into fastboot and unlock bl and so on.
Android studio: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
And drivers are not required because mac is linux based like ur android device.

using hombrew
install it:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
install tools
brew install android-platform-tools

everything is the same as in windows or linux. looks pointless.

When I try to run "./adb devices" I get "-bash: ./abd: No such file or directory"
ive rooted phones in the past, but never had to do much with terminal commands or adb... not really sure what im going wrong here... assuming adb not installing correctly?

well, after several more hours of reading ive finally figured it out... im not sure how ive never had to do this on one of my phones in the past

and what did you figure out...?

Exactly this. The OP is a bunch of unnecessary steps.

Does this work for OP3T too?

Thanks again!

Does you already connected USB cable between your tablet & desktop ? Does you already installed Huawei Drivers on your desktop ? Does you already enabled Android debugging inside Developer options on your tablet ?
EDIT:
From what you see there are many reasons why you do not see the tablet connected there ... unfortunately we don't have any prophet here to guess what you did or didn't do there

unlock code is different for each imei

Phew, got it unlocked! Moments of terror when entering the commands on the cmd...
A few mentions where I got stuck that may help someone else:
Regarding point 3:
In case your model has LTE (i.e. BTV-DL09), you actually should have a dialer application that you have to use instead of the calculator app, which didn't work for me. This is also mentioned in the DC unlocker app. In case you do it with the dialer, you have to enter following code: *#*#2846579#*#*
Regarding point 4:
Inside the "DC unlocker" app, I also got the "device not found" error, and I was wondering why. Two things I noticed:
- To enable USB debugging, it was not sufficient for me to activate the switch in the developer options, as the default USB mode for me is "charging only". I had to change it to i.e. "Device File Manager (MTP)" by tapping on the notification and then re-activate USB debugging in the developer options (which turned off after switching to MTP mode) to get USB debugging working.
- After enabling "manufacturer mode", the mode was turned off as soon as I quit the menu. So I had to stay in the menu to make sure manufacturer mode is on.
- You can check your device manager in Windows to see if the current mode is active: When doing USB debugging, the device "Android Composite ADB Interface" should show up under "Android Phone" list, whereas when you turn on manufacturer mode, some COM ports should show up under "Ports (COM and LPT)"; the one DC unlocker is searching should be named "Android Adapter PCUI". If you got some devices with not properly installed drivers you should consider installing HiSuite software on Windows first.
Regarding point 8
- When I bought the credits for DC unlocker for PayPal, I had to click on a link arrived to the PayPal e-mail for confirming your account. I then still got the "Server login error", but closing and reopening DC unlocker eventually fixed it.
Hope this helps! Happy unlocking to everybody!

Moving on to next step (flashing greatsIon TWRP)...
There seem to be no download mirrors for TWRP - BTV-DL09 EMUI 5 at the moment, so I have to retry later.
I though noticed a strange thing: looking at the greatsIon M3 download list, it seems that there are 2 versions of the TWRP for the BTV-DL09 with EMUI 5: the one linked in this thread, and another one, having same name ("twrp_BTV-DL09_5_greatslon.img") which has been uploaded earlier (March 2 vs August 7 2017) and its quite larger (35.4 vs 24.7 MB). Now the funny thing is that this file actually has mirrors available right now, but I don't want to flash something unless I'm quite sure it's the right one. Plus I'm quite a noob, so that gives me another minus...
For all other BTV-DL09 users out there: did you try flashing this one? Why are there 2 versions hanging around?
EDIT:
Now it seems that there are again mirrors for the DL09 TWRP linked in this post. After downloading it, I extracted both versions (the smaller and larger .img files), and by doing a byte-per-byte compare of the extracted payload, it seems that the two images are identical. One is just packed in a bigger IMG file, if I got it right.
Anyways: After flashing via fastboot, I cannot eventually directly boot into TWRP recovery using the "Power+ Volume Up" combination. It boots every time in the warning screen stating "your device has been unlocked", giving me two options: Pressing "Power" will boot normally, whereas pressing "Volume Up" for at least 3 secs will boot into recovery. If I then press "Volume Up", it goes in the "Huawei eRecovery" instead of going into TWRP. Is that expected? The only way to reach TWRP for me is via adb by entering "adb reboot recovery". Why?
EDIT 2:
Sorry guys, I'm such a noob at this. I evenutally was able to boot directly in to TWRP by pressing "Power + Volume Up" a bit longer. If I press it and release when I feel the vibration, it will take it as a "Power" only command and it'll boot into the warning screen with normal boot / Huawei eRecovery options, but if you continue pressing it until you see the LCD turn on, it will boot into TWRP.
All right, seems that I'm slowly moving on. Sorry for this exhaustive reports :cyclops:

I found the calculator (my bad) but now the problem is this message in Twrp "failed to mount '/3rdmodem" and "failed to mount '/cust" Whay can i do? Please, help me.

I've just created an account, to say thank you bro.
Your guide works also perfectly fine on a BTV-DL09 device.
I also can confirm the necessarry additional steps which "the wing" mentioned. Also a great guy
A little note from me: In the windows powershell, I had to start the code lines with a "." expample ---> .\adb.exe fast boot reload
Now I am taking a sip of my coffee, lean back and simply enjoy my taken of handcuffs of my MediaPad. Twek8 is now a free elf.
Thanks a lot for your great guide and stay gangsta.

Hi Guys,
Hoping someone has had some luck with this point as I am getting really frustrated....
I have the MediaPad M3 Lite 10 (BAH-W09). I am trying to get DC_Unlocker to recognize my device. No matter what combination I try and do things (from the points above), I continue to get 'Phone not found'. If I select MTP mode, manufacture mode changes, if I change to manufacture mode, it changes to 'charge only'. I also thought I would fool the system and set 'allow adb debugging in charge only mode' but this still is not working. Of note, ADB does recognize my device and I have also installed the drivers (should that help troubleshoot).
Frustrating when you are stuck on Step 1 of so many!!

Just following up on this...finally got things moving along, a bit. I was finally able to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and attempted installation of MAGISK. I have ran into a couple of problems...
1. TWRP, I installed the version that is meant for EMUI5.1 (3.2.0.0?)
2. Via TWRP, I attempted to install MAGISK.
During step 2 above, though it was running, it clearly was not succeeding and gave a long list of permission errors; thus failing.
On top of that, when I try and reboot the warning comes up that I have an unlocked device, if I continue with the boot, it gets to the Huawei logo and then reboots; over and over. The other option is to enter into Huawei's recovery system.
Anyone have any thoughts on what could have gone wrong that would have caused TWRP to fail?

Hi! Thanks so much for this guide, I've got my M3 up to the point where I flashed TWRP and rebooted into recovery.
Unfortunately, the TWRP BTV-W09 EMUI 5 image put it me into a boot-loop. I also tried both of the twrp 3.3.1-2 and 3.3.1-3 images from here. These images both got it stuck on the TWRP 'Teamwin' screen and doesn't boot into recovery. Any ideas on where to go with this issue?
Edit: I found a post stating I needed twrp 3.2.0-0, this worked for me.

Yes, but I'm a bit confused about the "compatibility" between models (m3 lite 10/8, WiFi only/data). For the TWRP i've seen that it's compatible BAH-W09, but is possible make root on it?
Thanks

Unfortunately I did not test TWRP 3.2.0-0 in stock EMUI firmware Android N ... so I created that TWRP just with the intention of installing LOS 16.0 !
Basically after I installed TWRP, I formatted /data, and installed LOS 16.0 - so I can't guarantee that it works properly with android stock EMUI !
My advice is to use TWRP only if you want to update to LOS 16.0 and later to LOS 17.1 - and after installing LOS there is no way to downgrade to android stock EMUI .

Hi,
Thank your for your job but currently I'm a little bit frustrated. I can't unlock my BTV-W09 bootloader.
In step 4, DC Unlocker does not seem to find my device. It does not show any data after, "Found Applications port COM5".
===================================================================
DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.1431
Detecting phone :
selection :
manufacturer - Huawei phones
model - Auto detect (recommended)
Found Applications port COM5
===================================================================
- The ROM version is BTV-W09C100B308
- I use windows 10
- I installed hisuite
- USB debugging, OEM Unlock and manufacturer mode are enabled
- In device manager, I see "Android Composite ADB Interface" and "Huawei HDB Interface" under "Android Phone" and "Android Adapter PCUI (COM5)", "DBAdapter Reserved Interface (COM4)", "HUAWEI Mobile Connect - Fake Acm Interface (COM3)" under "Ports (COM and LPT)"
- After many tries, I uninstalled hisuite because it was started automatically after each usb connection. After uninstall, device manager still shows interfaces and ports.
Any idea about this issue? Do I need to buy credits before step 4?
Best regards,
EDIT: Sorry, I was expecting more verbose from DC Unlocker like, model, serial, firmware. In the end I succeeded. Thanks.

Make sure the drivers are installed correctly and reboot your PC. I've just tried it and everything work just fine on my PC.

Make sure your drivers are installed correctly as shown above. When in edl mode the drivers are different than fastboot. Try reinstall the application with right click and ‘run as administrator’.

Do you know how to relock the bootloader?

It seems that there is something wrong with the drivers, or maybe the adb installation. Try to find other fastboot.exe and adb.exe then delete all duplicates except for "C:\adb", and don't forget to restart your PC.

This should do it but, I'm not sure if this is going to work on a rooted device.

Happy User of AICP on Redmi Note 8

#error1 #solution
my phone in fastboot mode is not recognized by mi_unlock_tool
For me it looks like as fastboot drivers dont work properly, adb seems to work fine
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
141a4895 device
for fastboot drivers pls, see attached file
SOLUTION:
1) Google for "Disable driver signature enforcement"
2) Update drivers manually ( see attached files )

Check adb drivers:
Connect device with booted ROM and type in cmd:
adb devices
--> If drivers are properly installed your device is recognized there
Check fastboot drivers:
Connect device in fastboot mode and type in cmd:
fastboot devices
--> If drivers are properly installed your device is recognized there

#error2 #solution
TWRP is gone after reboot
Solution:
Start TWRP directly from fastboot mode with Hold Power & Vol+ unitil TWRP Logo comes up

#error3 #solved
Magisk does not work.
Solution:
Flash ROM
Boot ROM
Flash Magisk
