Maybe you need to allow your computer when it's asked on the phone.

what you mean when is phone is fast boot there has no display controls

Do it when the phone is ON, just after the USB debugging option is ticked, put your cable and the box for computer authorization will appear on the phone.
Don't know the way to do it when a phone is off.

in the normal system mode then I can see it but not in the fastboot mode

Adb won't work in fastboot mode. Try "fastboot devices" when in fastboot mode.

When phone is turned off and connected via usb (vol+) to pc then type:
fastboot devices
When phone is turned on and connected via usb to pc (usb debugging on) then type:
adb devices

I got the device into fastboot mode

You can use the command "adb reboot-bootloader", I didn't see anyone else try this on here. Unfortunately, fastboot still doesn't recognize the device. I used the stock USB cable, I also tried doing it with my factory cable, but the device rebooted to a black screen and I got it recognized as "Qualcomm QH-USB QDloader"

Really? & just what command did you send using fastboot? Unless you have a magic kernel & bootloader, there is no fastboot access without passing the key. The way updates are performed on the KF HDX are fairly abnormal compared to other devices, which is why you see two kernel, stream writer & other such files & apps.

I used getvar, and it worked fine (but most the of parameters don't), boot and idme don't work because it's locked, and oem unlock doesn't exist. But what your saying is that I shouldn't even be able to do any of this?
i look at the picture and the kindle is not hdx.
i've searching for fastboot cable on ebay but didn't found, the cable only work for kindle HD
so for there is no fix for bricked kindle fire hdx
You can turn HDX into fastboot mode by "adb reboot bootloader" if device is alive.
But you can not flash anything anyway - error "flash not allowed for locked hw".
Fastboot cable perfect fit to HDX too. But it turn device in Qloader for QPST.

ADB doesn't see the phone in fastboot mode (although windows sees it)

Hello,
I'm trying to flash a TWRP, but for some reason the phone doesn't show up any more in adb when in fastboot mode (at the bottom of the phone screen it tells me to connect a USB cable). It was showing fine until yesterday. I have tried several different USB ports. The cable is definitely working (in fact plugging and unplugging it causes Windows to notice and make a sound, and also it works fine in ADB when the phone is booted up.
The only thing that I can think that happened since I had last connected to it in fastboot mode (to unlock the bootloader) is that I connected my PC to a couple other phones (Galaxy S3 and Nexus 5) using them in MTP mode. I have reinstalled Google and universal drivers several times, deleted the device from device manager, etc etc. No good.
Any ideas?
We gonna start off with are you using the right commands? Using Fastboot devices?
You must remember ADB and Fastboot are two different things. ADB is only when the phone is on and fastboot is only in bootloader mode

getting into fastboot mode

I am trying to get into fastboot mode to unlock my bootloader. I enabled usb debugging, and allowed the oem unlock mode. when I press volume down and power button, i do not see "fastboot mode" anywhere. in device manager, my device shows up with a exclamation mark and triangle. I installed the google usb driver via sdk manager. when i type "fastboot devices" on my desktop, my 6p does not show up. how can I get this to work?

Holding power + volume down will get you to the bootloader, this is fastboot mode. Is the phone in this mode when issuing the "fastboot devices" command? Does Windows show any driver installation/update dialogue when you connect the phone in this mode?
Yes, it is.
I believe a driver installation popup came up before.

It also tells me to connect a usb data cable, when it's already plugged in.
So I found a usb driver, and it works now. Up to the point where I go into TWRP, but it asks for a password to decrypt the data. So I enter the password I use to get onto my phone, and it gets to "Unable to mount storage. Full SELinux support is available." Where do I go from here?
Are you using the Android N Dev Preview?

Help needed for complete novice - Nexus 4 bootloop no debugging enabled mac

Hi all you good people, I have a nexus 4 with a bootloop also additional problems are:
1. Im a complete novice and can only do things with simple instructions (sorry!)
2. No debugging mode was enabled
3. I only have a Mac
4. The Mac is not showing the device with the android transfer app and also I've tried a few things in terminal - but again comes up with device not found.
I can get to the Postboot mode by pressing the power/volume buttons so thats okay, on that screen it says: SECURE BOOT - enabled & LOCK STATE -locked
I have tried all the clear cache/restore factory on the recovery screen and taken the battery out for a while but to no avail.
thanks in advance!
You should unlock the bootloader and then flash a stock Google image. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe all data on the phone.
First thing would be to at least get the phone to recognize fastboot commands. Not sure if this will help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237

Thankyou that is really helpful how ever when I type in: ./adb devices it dosnt list any devices including my phone, if I try a command such as:
./fastboot oem unlock
it just hangs on: "waiting for device"
The USB cable is good as I tried it with another device - could it be a damaged USB female socket on the device itself?
thanks
Adb commands will not work when the phone is in fastboot mode.
With the phone connected and in fastboot mode, type "fastboot devices" and press enter. It should return your phone's serial number. If not, try different USB cables and USB ports.

Fastboot mode is when you boot into the bootloader where it said secure boot enabled.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Labs
To enter fastboot mode on the phone, power off the phone, press and hold volume up + volume down + power at the same time.

Thanks tried this - and and nothing came up with the command 'fastboot devices' - thanks anyway
If nothing comes up when executing the command, that tells me the drivers are not installed or the connection between the phone and computer is not good.
HI
How can I install the drivers on a mac? thanks

Moto G4 seen by Windows but not by adb in fastboot mode

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my XT1622.
I can transfer files etc and backup when connected to PC and in Windows
I have installed the drivers and fastboot and adb and opened a cmd window in Admin mode in the directory where fastboot.exe and adb.exe are installed.
I have restarted the phone in fastboot mode (power up plus Vol Down) and connected by USB cable to my PC but when I type adb devices I get no information coming back.
Does anyone have any idea, please, where I may be going wrong?
Anyone able to help, please?
My post above is getting a number of views but sadly no replies.
Since posting I have tried different cables, different USB ports and even installed the drivers on my wife's laptop, but to the same effect - the device is seen in File Explorer but after booting into bootloader both fastboot devices and adb devices return blanks.
I think I'll just give up on the idea, which is a shame as accomplished it easily on my old Nexus tablet and on previous Moto G iterations.

adb mode doesn't work when you are in the bootloader. But fastboot should. Boot into your phone and go to settings/Developer options and make sure you have OEM unlocking and Android debugging both enabled. Then on your PC connect your cable and open a command window. type the command "adb devices" and see if your phone shows up now. If so you can then boot into the bootloader via the command "adb reboot bootloader" While in the bootloader type the command "fastboot devices" and see if your phone shows up. If so you are good to go.
Oh, and I am assuming you have a non-Amazon model?
Still no show
Thanks Palmyra. I have followed those instructions to the letter.
In Developer options both OEM unlocking and USB debugging are switched on.
When I connect to the PC and run adb devices in a CMD window it first responds that daemon has been successfully started then that the list of devices is attached but it then returns me to the command prompt.
I did then try 'adb reboot bootloader' but it returned 'error: device not found' - not unexpected given the first command result.
In File Explorer however under this PC it does list Moto G(4) and I am able to explore the phone contents there.
It is not an Amazon model.
I really am at a loss to understand why this is happening.

Have you installed Motorola Device Manager? I had your same issue until I had installed the Motorola drivers.
Still no joy

Thanks. Yes, I have installed Motorola Device Manager. In Windows Device Manager the MotoG4 shows under Portable Devices only when USB set to Charging or File Transfer and as an Android device with Motorola Device Manager when connected as PTP. The situation has persisted since updating to Nougat and 'adb devices' draws a blank no matter which USB connection mode I use.

Did an RSA key dialogue ever pop up when you plugged it into your PC?
If fastboot shows no devices when your phone is in fastboot mode (voldown+power hold), then something is seriously off. Have you tried multiple USB cables?
On your wife's PC did you make sure to install adb/fastboot and drivers: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
And make sure to run the cmd shell as administrator/root? (right click cmd, click run as admin)
Will double check everything
Will double check all of those pointers over the weekend and report back. Thanks
Success at last
Went onto my wife's computer and deleted all that I could find relating to SDK and Motorola. Re-installed adb tools and the Motorola drivers and now adb devices return the details of the connected phone. Onto the next stage of unlocking the bootloader and then rooting. Thanks for the help.
