Going mad just can't get fastboot to work?

I have tried windows and editing the inf file for it to recognise the Swift but adb works but fastboot doesn't. That is after toggling USB debug several times to get the authorization prompt to appear. I have tried Ubuntu 15.10 live CD, updated udev rules but adb/fastboot does not detect any device.

Is anyone able to help? I am at a complete loss of what I am doing wrong?

I just want to unlock and flash twrp 3 recovery.

Thanks

If I am using windows what drivers should I install? Adb works but does fastboot need drivers also? I have tried fastboot both with phone in and out of the fastboot screen - I have to pull battery to get out of fastboot mode! Thanks

Quite close to begging here never had problems like this with previous phones. Adb works (it reboots into fastboot) but fastboot doesnt it just says waiting for devices.

Any pointers appreciated - thinking it is driver related whatever I choose it seems to say compatible driver not found.

Any pointer to drivers that should work would be great?

Have tried again in Ubuntu (not got adb or fastboot working Ubuntu 15.10 live cd) and in Windows (adb working but fastboot now).

Help!
