F(x)tec Pro-1 X QX1050 not booting past fastboot? screen

[phirephoto 0]

I have a F(x)tec Pro-1 X QX1050

It boots to I believe the fastboot screen. I've tried each of the
options - Start, restart bootloader, recovery mode, Boot to FFBM and
Boot to QMMI. Each option just essentiallyh reboots the phone back to
that screen.

It's not recognzied via ADB Devices

Any suggestions on what else to try? Tried a few cables, a few computers.

Thanks.

Any suggestions?

I don't know if I have a suggestion, but I suspect more information is needed. Is this a Pro1x that was formerly working ok and this just suddenly happened?  Or did it do this when you got it.  If the former, what kinds of things were you doing with the phone? Is it Stock Android or did you flash some other ROM?  Anything you can tell people will help them decide if they know something you can try.

I got it second hand. Was working - I was trying to flash the Ubuntu touch and it crashed during the flash. Sorry don't recall error. Was using UBPorts installer 😞

Any other suggestions? Do I have a paperweight?

USUALLY the problems people experiences with fastboot is related to the communication with the watch.
Either cable, port or driver.
Silly as it may sound on Windows11, a 'newer' USB3 port might cause problems. On my Lenovo X1 Yoga gen 6 (20XY), I can not get fastboot to work directly. But if I use an old usb2 hub, things works fine. It also works fine if I go via my thunderbolt 4 docking, and a USB3 port on that.

AFAIK, there are fewer issues if the machine is on LINUX.

You might also try from an old PC with USB2 ports only.

Usually it is not super picky on the cable, but try swapping that also if a different port does not help. And then finally the more complex is that not all drivers works equally well, and that can be a hassle.

(Note that on my pc, a direct cable works fine with ADB or with file-transfer, it is fastboot that is quite picky) - my guess would be a handshaking issue in fastboot for Windows, where it fails if it gets the answer too fast)
