stuck in fastboot, then error in application
damnms opened this issue · 2 comments
i tried to unlock my redmi pad on linux fedora 38, all looks good, then the pad reboots and it displays "fastboot", and then the application just does nothing. when running adb devices, i see nothing. when i reboot the pad and do adb devices, i can see it again. not sure if its an application problem or some sort of problem with the pad
You couldn't see your tablet through adb because it was in Fastboot. Use the appropriate command for fastboot using the fastboot command, usually packaged with platform tools. Rebooting the pad just lead it into the mode where ADB is enabled, but fastboot isn't.
Short worded: Your tablet was in fastboot mode, which is compatible only with the fastboot command.
(Also, the program booted your tablet into bootloader to unlock it, so thats why you ended up there)
yeah got that working but forgot to close that ticket ;)
