I tried different drivers on relatively new computers running Windows 8 and Windows In the end I found a link suggesting that I should try the same procedure on an older desktop computer which I did and the computer managed to detect my Desire S in fastboot USB mode and I managed to read the ID token. I had to update the driver and pick from the list of existing drivers which had a fastboot entry. I went to device manager from the control panel and saw the "Android 1. I had installed the google usb drivers with the SDK extras and ADB worked great but I got the "waiting for device" trying to flash in fastboot mode. I didn't realize it right away, but there are different ADB drivers and Fastboot drivers.
Whilst you may see your device under adb when your phone is on it will not be detected by fastboot until you install the driver for it and hence will show "waiting for device". One thing I don't understand is why adb saw device and fastboot not. At the end I saw that drivers for android were not installed. Are you rebooting the device into the bootloader and entering fastboot USB on the bootloader menu? Problem solved. The first step is to unlock bootloader.Īn idea? Other OS: credits. To do this I need to do some things with my phone.
I decided to install my developer application on phone using wifi.
I've read a lot of articles about this problem but I can't resolve it.
