Adb doesn't recognize a G2 in fastboot mode

---

Hello,

I have a Vodafone Magic:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Apr 9 2009,23:30:40

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I installed the usb drivers (like here) and everything works perfectly with the phone in normal mode: "adb devices" shows the device.

But the problem is when I start in fastboot mode. Then "adb devices" doesn't show me anything. I enabled "USB Debugging" too.

I also tested it on Windows XP. I installed the 2 drivers (HTC Composite ADB and HTC Bootloader -and it appears in the device manager, so windows is using it-), but with the same problem: the device is not recognized in fastboot (perfect in normal mode). However, I can run fastboot ("fastboot boot recovery-new.img", for example) and the phone run it properly.

Any idea for windows or linux?

Thanks in advance.

try "fastboot boot <modded recovery.img>". After a while my device turns up on "adb devices"

Did you solve the problem plz? I got the same problem...

... adb will NEVER work in fastbootmode... Use the fastboot command in fastbootmode.

Yeah I made the same dumb frakking mistake a few months back.

Try this, it worked for me on my ADB1:

1. Boot the phone normally.
2. Connect via USB and do NOT mount SD card.
3. Go into Device Manager and unistall the ADB device driver.
4. Re-Boot phone into fastboot mode (hold BACK button while powering up, connect USB and press BACK again - should now say FASTBOOT on device screen).
5. In device manager, right-click any device and scan for hardware changes.
6. Under USB Controllers there should now be a USB mass storage device - right click it and Install Driver (search automatically). The ADB driver should re-install.
7. Now try FASTBOOT DEVICES - your device serial should come up.

DeeEmmSee.
