Fastboot Got Stuck

Hello, I'm tring to flash my android device with fastboot, but fastboot commands don't seem to work for some reason (it gets stuck and it's impossible to kill), but the device is being detected just fine.

I tried several cables, including USB-C to USB-C and USB-A to USB-C, but still not work for me.

I try to kill&terminate the fastboot process from htop, but it does not work. Only way to stop it is to disconnect the device USB.

Similar problem with https://superuser.com/questions/1478658 … e-detected
But not solved.

Fastboot Version ( android-tools pkg is also tried, but not work, too):

$ pacman -Qs fastboot                      
local/android-sdk-platform-tools 31.0.0-1
    Platform-Tools for Google Android SDK (adb and fastboot)

Commands:

#  [21:36:39]
$ adb reboot bootloader

# [21:36:53] 
$ fastboot devices                
b348fa7e        fastboot

#  [21:37:02] 
$ fastboot flash system system.img                                                    
^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C

# [21:37:24] C:130
$

Re: Fastboot Got Stuck

i wonder if:

You can flash a custom system only if the bootloader allows it. Note, though, that the bootloader is locked by default. You can unlock the bootloader, but doing so deletes user data for privacy reasons. After unlocking, all data on the device is erased, that is, both private app data and shared data accessible over USB (including photos and movies). Before attempting to unlock the bootloader, back up any important files on the device.

The bootloader is unlocked, I can flash the same image in windows.

Re: Fastboot Got Stuck

You can try fastboot from the community package 'android-tools'.
