Package: android-tools-fastboot Version: 4.2.2+git20130529-5.1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, The version of 'fastboot' provided within this Debian package fails to detect a tablet powered by an Intel Z3560 Atom SoC. Having enabled 'Developer mode' and 'USB debugging' on the device, 'lsusb' shows it correctly and 'adb' also operates without problems. In particular, it can reboot it into 'bootloader mode' via: # adb reboot bootloader ....but after the device has rebooted into DroidBoot, 'lsusb' continues to see it; but # fastboot devices ....returns nothing. Please consider the relevant discussion i.e. here: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/102897/fastboot-devices-returns-nothing or: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096 This does not appear to be a permissions issue. Upon recompiling the 'fastboot' binary as discussed here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/android-applications-on-intel-architecture/topic/494961 (scroll down to T K. post, Wed, 11/12/2014 - 17:27), the confirmed working solution across a variety of Intel devices (http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/general/linux-tethered-cwm-recovery-version-t2963104) appears to be a recompiled 'fastboot' binary, as provided i.e. by XDA senior developer Vampirefo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2472806).
