[Q] ADB devices returns empty list

[rusmatica]

Hello,

I am trying to flash a custom rom and therefore I need to run certain adb commands. Now the thing is the when I'm booted in to fastboot everything is okay, the

fastboot devices

command recognizes my phone(C6603). Also the device is shown as an Android device - sony fastboot interface in the device manager. But if I try to run

adb devices

command no device is found..

I'm kind of hopeless here is/are some additional info/things I've tried:

- I flashed throughout Kingo root and I'm on firmware .74
- USB debugging is, of course, on
- I tried both media transfer and mass storage
- I tried different usb ports and rebooting adb several times
- I tried adding the device id to adb_usb.ini. Though I'm not sure about my device id
- I installed the drivers with for the 'fastboot device' with Flashtool and also installed fasbtboot and ADT drivers.
- I'm on Windows 8(x64)

I hope someone can help me out. Otherwise I should consider ADB Wireless as my last option

Thanks!

Lol I just figured out that adb reboot-bootloader should be executed when the phone is in normal mode and after that the fastboot mode starts and then I can just proceed with what I was intended to do..

Thanks anyway for giving it a look
