[Q] Fastboot not recognized in different directories

Porkaby said:

Hi,

I am a total noob attempting to root their Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. So far I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, but when I try to install CWM Recovery, I get a perpetual <waiting for device> error.

I am attempting to follow this guide → androidcentral.us/2014/01/root-sony-xperia-z1-compact

So far...

• USB debugging is on.
• Bootloader has been unlocked.
• Having unlocked the bootloader, I assume the necessary drivers and fastboot were installed correctly.
• In cmd, I check with fastboot devices for two different directories. Fastboot is recognized in the directory I used for unlocking the bootloader. However, it is not recognized in the directory I am trying to install CWM Recovery from.

Any help would be much appreciated

im assuming you just have a cwm img file?
why not just move it to the directory where fastboot is working?
seems like the easiest fix to me.
