[SOLVED] Fastboot using only USB 3.0 ports

[Ritwyk]

I've got a machine running Windows 7 (x64) that has only a couple of USB 3.0 ports.
ADB and Fastboot drivers from Flashtool are installed, and ADB works fine.
Fastboot, however, does not. Pressing VOL UP while connecting to the PC doesn't do anything, and the phone just starts charging. The last time I faced this problem (on a different m/c), I just switched to a USB 2.0 port. Can't do that anymore.
Is there a solution or workaround for this issue? The USB 3.0 drivers are by Intel, not Microsoft.

Just found this solution.
Go to BIOS > Advanced > USB > XHCI and change the setting to Disabled.
This will make the ports run in USB 2 mode, and fastboot works as usual.

Its 2020 right now and laptops are having only usb 3.0 or 3..1 ports and their bios don't have the xHCI mode so we can't enable usb 2.0 from the bios so we can't do the basic fastboot command to flash TWRP
so further testing is not possible in new mobile and we can't have usb 2.0 all the time so there must be some solution for this.

You could try using a cheap USB 2.0 hub if nothing else works for you.
