Did you install the right driver? Can you reboot your device with the command line? If so, the device is recognized by the pc
thanks for reply.........yes i did install the driver and the device does boot in "boot loader" by command line , even the response from confirmation of boot loader unlock command is "true" . twrp recovery flash shows that it is installed yet my device do not boot in to
twrp recovery instead in to cyanogen recovery.
Does it look like this:
C:\Users\anwender\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery z1.twrp.2.8.7.0.By.Breadcrust-UPDATE3.img target reported max download size of 1610612736 bytes sending 'recovery' (8686 KB)... OKAY [?* 0.266s] writing 'recovery'... OKAY [?* 0.141s] finished. total time: 0.406s
