At first sight it seems you spelled the line command wrong. According to the online help it should be fastboot flash vendor_boot <vendor_boot.img> and you did fastboot flash <vendor_boot.img>.
If i use the command: fastboot flash vendor_boot i’ve got the message: Waiting for device…
Waiting for what?
It would be better if there are some people who can help me out with this, without spending 350-600 euro to buying a a phone from eOS. i don’t have the knowledge to fix this.
Trying to help you out indeed I also noticed that you typed the fastboot command in a directory where there was no image. You should type it in \C:\eos 1.8 instead of \C:\.
But i’ve try that also. Now i am trying the same on my linux ubuntu laptop.
In the bootloader i can select START, Restart bootloader, Recovery Mode, Power OFF.
When i select START, Android start running and my phone is connected with adb devices.
Then i type the command: fastboot flash vendor_boot i got the same answer:
< waiting for any device >
What do i wrong?
it seems that i do exactly wat they tell in the install guide.
When i power off the pone and then hold up Volume up/adown+Power…the bootloader starts with the screen in the picture. With de volume up/down i can only select:
START (starting android)
Reboot the bootloader (gives the same screen)
Recovery Mode (i can select fastboot)
And power off
I don’t know this device, however from your last post it seems you’re already on bootloader.
From your previous pictures it is unlocked, so I’ll go for a communication problem with PC.
You can check if any device is connected with fastboot devices.
Sorry, I can’t help more without the device in hands
I really think about to smash my phone out of the window.
Now it only restarts in the bootloader and even i cannot power off the phone.
Starting in Recovery Mode is also not working anymore.
I’m done with it.
Thank you for helping, but the only way is waiting that i be able to buy another eOS phone on the Murena Store. This Zenfone looks dead.
