How do I access Fastboot mode?


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to install Lineage OS.
I've managed to get into Android mascot and "No command" screen/Fastboot mode screen by pressing volume down + power button, but I can't seem to execute fastboot command in platform-tools.
When I type 'fastboot device', it just shows '< waiting for any device >'.
Note that when I run 'adb devices', the device shows up normally.

From the "No Commans" screen, you need one more step to get into the very basic Android recovery.  This is for the Pro1, but it applies to the Pro1x as well. From the menu shown in this post you can reboot to bootloader, where you can use fastboot commands.

@Aeong, to get into the fastboot mode, the way i used is adb -d reboot bootloader from cmd, with the right drivers of course.

Faster, easy and no more frustration when trying to access fastboot mode with buttons.
