Android Fastboot devices not returning device

At the moment I would like to reinstall Android on my device(custom hardware device). I got the image files after building. But when I enter fastboot devices nothing returns.

adb devices is working. It return my device. fastboot flashall -w is also not working. I returns <waiting for devices> and stays like that until I exit.

So the 70-android.rules.d file is right. I have also set ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT. But someone knows why fastboot does not see my device, but adb does?

Restarting udev or adb does not work. Some people recommend that on the internet.

OS: Ubuntu 11.10

For Windows:

  • Open device manager
  • Find Unknown "Android" device (likely listed under Other devices with an exclamation mark)
  • Update driver
  • Browse my computer for driver software
  • Let me pick from a list of devices, select List All Devices
  • Under "Android device" or "Google Inc", you will find "Android Bootloader Interface"
  • Choose "Android Bootloader Interface"
  • Click "yes" when it says that driver might not be compatible

Are you rebooting the device into the bootloader and entering fastboot USB on the bootloader menu?

Try

adb reboot bootloader 

then look for on screen instructions to enter fastboot mode.
