[Tutorial] How to fix ADB or Fastboot not detecting an Android phone despite installing drivers

[hovatek]

We'd dropped a guide on how to setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-588.html . In some situations, ADB or Fastboot might not be able to connect to the phone. In my case, ADB could detect the tablet fine but once in Fastboot, it was a dead end; Fastboot couldn't detect the tablet. It was quite weird that ADB could detect but Fastboot couldn't. If you find yourself in such a situation then its likely that your version of ADB or Fastboot is too old for the device in question.

What to do when adb or fastboot won't detect your Android phone

After the ADB-Fastboot setup guide above, download Google Platform Tools @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-17104.html (No need to download the entire SDK). Use the adb-fastboot in the platform tools folder instead.

Note

Some people have reported that booting into fastboot using button combos (instead of adb) solved it.
