Just kill adb.exe with Taskmanager... And try again..

Something is not quite right. adb and fastboot have different requirements, and will never work at the same time.
adb = works in OS or TWRP, will not work in fastboot mode. Debugging must also be enabled
fastboot = only works in fastboot mode. Debugging enabled not needed.
So adb working, and fastboot not working is expected, but to me, means you are not in fastboot mode. Or your are changing modes/states between commands (which is really confusing).
Go into fastboot mode and type: fastboot devices
And see if it returns the phone ID.

[Q] Connection with PC

Hellow. I have some problem with connection of my One. Atm i wanna s-off my phone.But can't.
After connecting phone to usb2.0 port win8 recognise it well (checked by "adb devices -l"). But when i try to reboot into bootloader i've got "waiting for device" (fastboot reboot bootloader). Ok i'm switch off the phone and boot in bootloader (fastboot mode). Phisical connection is good (fastboot usb). Try to check connection by "adb devices -l" and i got no one device connected. But in same time i can easy flash recovery by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Btw when i put phone in fastboot mode my win8 told me that connected device not recognised and can't work good, but when i start android win8 got my phone well. I've check it with two original htc usb cables and one not original.
Any ideas?
Thx!
When the phone is in fastboot mode, you use the fastboot command, adb won't work. When the phone is not in fastboot mode, you use the adb command, fastboot won't work.

How to install ZCX Recovery without Fastboot?

Hi, i can't get my PC to detect my phone under Fastboot with ADB so i can't do anything through there but i wan't to update my ZCX Recovery. In the installation notes it says "You can flash by either Fastboot method or TWRP methods "but what "TWRP methods" means and how to flash it?
TWRP method mean is if your phone already has TWRP recovery before and wanna change or update it..you can flash new TWRP via your current TWRP.
But anyway.. why your phone while in fastboot mode can't detected by pc.and what command you're typing to check in fastboot mode??, i mean are you sure you're already installing all driver that adb and fastboot needed..?, and are you sure you're already typing correct adb and fastboot command..?
Because recently i see someone thread that asking the same problem like this too (more or less) in en.miui.com forum too..he/she is wrong typing command while he/she's phone in fastboot mode, he/she's typing adb command while the phone is already in fastboot mode, of course adb can't recognize it.
I don't know this is you too or another person.

Flashing Unlock
Hey, make sure that you have first unlocked the bootloader with the fastboot command: "fastboot flashing unlock". Try it. It will erase all your data and do a reset factory and then you should be able to reboot your device normally. Also, it will let you flash the boot.img for root your device.

Did you let unlock bootloader and permitted the USB debbugin on the developers option before flash the boot.img?
Make sure you are using a USB 2.0 to connect your device to the PC. See if you PC recognizes the device into the fastboot menu with "fastboot devices", if doesn't, try reboot another phone with "adb rebbot bootloader", then enter "fastboot devices", your device should be listed into de the devices attached. Then try again entering "fastboot flashing unlock".

Oh, that could be a problem. Try to use this tool. I hope you can get your phone working again. If this doesn't works, try to flash the original boot.img of your firmware version.

adb works but not fastboot

I rooted my Note 8 and when I'm in the TWRP bootloader, I can issue adb commands, but no fastboot command (list of devices empty). How can I get the phone into a state where fastboot works?

Samsung doesn't use fastboot!
They lock it out in favor of their Odin flash tool.
so there's no way to use fastboot commands? There goes my hope on making it boot on power connect
