Android firmware download by fastboot in win10

[jimmyli]

Hi,

     We are going to download android firmware by fastboot bat in win10 system, but  it can't work.

     1>downloading by uuu tool is too slow that needs above 10 minutes per device, so we change to fastboot script tool.

     2>before, we can run offical fastboot script  (fastboot_imx_flashall.bat) in win7, but fail in win10.

     3>steps: run "adb reboot bootloader", then run "fastboot_imx_flashall.bat";

     4>we confer to the offical suggestion (https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/MX8MM-won-t-enter-fastboot-mode/m-p/937720#M140466), but failed.

     Can you help to check and provide a updated win10 driver for fastboot ?

    Thanks very much.

We use imx8m mini.

it can be fastboot in windows7,but can't be fastboot in windows10(maybe in new computer,my computer is i7 12700 ,Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC).the google driver can't be use for imx8 but can use in other Android Device.

We try :

1、It show "Universal Serial Bus devices -> USB download gadget" in Device Manager,we try to change it a compatible ADB Device driver it can't use for fastboot.

2、We add 0525:a4a5 in google driver,but it can't install because it have not digitally signed.We install in win10（disable-driver-signature-enforcement），but it failed.

Normal Android devices need adb driver （for adb command)and bootloader mode driver（for fastboot command).But in Win10,imx8 can't be identify as fastboot device

Device ID 0525:a4a5(imx8m) can't find signed driver.Can make a bootloader mode driver（digitally signed driver to fastboot command）for win10.Because when customer can't enter system,we need to provide a easy and fastly burning tools and files.

Hi @jhhong 

We test the fastboot function with the link you mentioned in reply. It can work in Windows 10 Enterprise(Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19044.1000.0).

UUU is our recommendation for flash. You can test fastboot with other Windows 10/11 PC.

Best Regards

ok,we will retry.  we test fail in three computer(AMD 5600,i7 12700),maybe it can success in old computer.

uuu is slowest. it may need to cost 10 min to flash in 2G+16G,and cost 20 min to flash in 4G+64G.Also ,it just flash one by one.

this link is other company to implement use fastbootd in imx6ul linux platform.

Hi @jimmyli 

The fastboot driver and that reference link have no issue. We just test fastboot recently.

Please install Google USB driver and enter fastboot refering the Android User Guide.
