Good afternoon friends. Do we put the phone into fastboot mode? Why is this necessary, how to enter and exit it? Some people who use gadgets on the Android system receive “Fastboot Mode” messages the next time they reboot their phone. Interestingly, the user cannot simply remove this mode. If you start turning the gadget off and on, there will be little use. So, you need to figure out what it means to set up Fastboot for the Android system, why it was created, and how to properly exit this mode?
To fine-tune the characteristics of Android, people often root their own phones, making changes to their technical menu. But this is not enough. Sometimes you can upgrade using FastBoot Mod technology.
Fastboot Mode (FBM) what does this mean?
Does FastBoot Mod, or “fast boot” in Russian, have a direct connection with sophisticated system settings? In some laptops, FBM works to maximize the OS load, bypassing the BIOS and various programs. In phones it is installed for other purposes. On gadgets with tablets where the Android OS is installed, FBM is mainly needed to provide access to the system elements of the device and to manage these settings from a PC.
Using Fastboot functions, repair shop specialists and knowledgeable people have the opportunity to install various programs, reinstall the device system, restore various applications, assume Root rights, create backup copies and restore the system from them, and simply change Android settings. App creators are turning to downloads soon to test them.
While explaining the essence of this function, I quite possibly did not give you an exact answer, what is the main basis of this mode and what is it intended for?
Fastboot Mode is a separate software component, independent of the OS, which is implemented in hardware and embedded in the memory chip.
This freedom gives this mode the ability to boot the gadget, including in cases where it has errors with the Android OS. The FBM code is located in a memory location that is protected from all kinds of writes. This eliminates the possibility of damaging it.
Fastboot error bad component name
An error like “fastboot error bad component name” in Xiaomi Redmi 5a indicates a system failure of the device. You can return to standard mode only by formatting the contents of the gadget. It is recommended to remove the memory card before starting the procedure. To fix the bug, you should:
- Go to mode This is done in one way: by holding the power and volume keys.
- Here you should click wipe data/factory reset. This will return to the original settings.
- Next, click “wipe cache partition”.
If the problem persists, you will need to reflash the gadget. All files will be deleted from the cloud itself. Applications will have to be reinstalled.
To eliminate this error, it is recommended to turn off fast mode.
Why do you need to activate Fastboot Mode?
The FBM function can be launched in manual mode by using the regular menu, or by simultaneously pressing the “Enable” key and the “Decrease - Increase” volume button on the switched off gadget. Also, this function can start on its own, which is bad. The reasons for Fastboot launching on your own may be inept system reinstallation, system errors, Android file corruption, superuser rights, etc.
Fastboot error on Xiaomi: why it occurs and its types
This is a very useful mode. However, there are times when the mode is not enabled and the fastboot window does not work. Let's look at different types of errors:
- problems related to the device firmware;
- accidental activation of 2 keys at the same time - volume and power buttons;
- setting up root rights for superuser;
- system malfunctions.
In any of these errors, the following will happen on the smartphone screen: the android icon is displayed and a message appears with information about the gadget’s system settings.
Fastboot Mode how to exit this function?
The fact that this function is enabled on your gadget can be indicated by a picture of an opened android and a phrase on the Fastboot Mode monitor. But, if the owner of the device did not change anything in the smartphone settings, and this mode still turned on, it is quite possible that its cause is hidden in a certain temporary glitch in the system.
In this case, you can reboot the gadget. But, if after a reboot the Fastboot message appears on the screen of your device again and it does not enter normal operating mode, it is possible that your gadget has serious problems.
It is also possible that such a failure in the system is so deep that it is advisable to ask a specialist to flash the system. But before we give the smartphone to the technician, let’s try to get out of this situation ourselves.
I know 2 methods on how to exit FastBoot. You can do this from the gadget itself, or use a PC for this purpose. If after rebooting the phone this message appears again, you need to turn off the device, then press the power and volume down buttons with one click.
Select Boot Mode appears on the display , or until the gadget turns on in normal mode.
Also, you can exit this function if you simply remove the battery for a while and insert it back into the phone.
There are cases that the Fastboot function appears after your gadget has been returned from repair. This can happen if the technicians connected the smartphone to the PC.

In addition, this mode can work if the user simply forgot to turn it off in the settings. At the same time, to turn off FBM, you need to go into the “settings” of the device, then in the “Screen” (Accessibility) tab you need to find the “Fast boot” command and uncheck it.
Fastboot does not work: why and how to resume work
If, after activating Fastboot, you cannot return the gadget to its previous mode, it is recommended:
- hold down the power button for at least 20 seconds;
- The device should reboot and enter “normal” mode.
If this does not happen, there is only 1 possible reason - a failure in the program. Only returning to the original settings will help here. To do this, you should:
- Press and hold the Power and Volume Up keys again;
- The device will boot into recovery mode;
- in the drop-down menu from the list, find the wipe data/factory reset subsection;
- After confirming your choice, all user information will be automatically deleted. The settings will be reset to initial ones and the device will reboot. This procedure takes at least 15 minutes.
Important! A full reset leads to the complete deletion of user files: downloaded applications, as well as all photos, videos and music will be deleted.
Also be prepared to reset your contact list and delete all SMS messages. This method is recommended to be used only by users who have a backup of the required data.
Fastboot Mode how to exit using a PC?
First, you need to install the ADB and Fastboot programs on your computer, then connect your smartphone to the PC, establish a USB connection, launch the command line as an administrator and insert the phrase fastboot reboot . This method is simple and effective and, in my experience, works better than others.
If the command line could not help you, you need to roll back your smartphone to factory settings. Before doing this, be sure to copy important information to a flash drive or PC. Then, you should remove the flash card from the smartphone. After booting into Recovery, look for the wipe data/factory reset and use this option to roll back the system to factory settings.
Also, it is advisable to clear the memory by tapping on the wipe cache partition .
Fastboot devices
Users often encounter problems when obtaining Root. In difficult cases, adb commands are used for this using the computer command line. However, the majority simply enter them without knowing the purpose.
The Fastboot devices command is used when getting root if the device is in bootloader mode. Entering this command allows you to obtain certain information about your phone or tablet. Fastboot devices allows you to understand whether the device is capable of receiving a signal from Fastboot and executing specified commands. This is a powerful tool that is often blocked for the average user.
In addition, the command displays the serial number of the device, the presence of the necessary drivers on the computer, and some confidential information about the device.
How to enable Fastboot Mode?
You may need to enable the Fastboot Mode function if you decide to change the configuration of your smartphone using a computer. For example, install modified firmware, or if you need Root rights, without using third-party software. Also, booting into this mode is useful if you need to get full access to Android system folders or restore the operating system.
Methods for enabling this function on various gadgets have their own nuances. In Asus devices, to do this, you need to press the “Enable” and “Increase volume” key, in Nexus and HTC - press the “Enable” and “Decrease volume” keys, in Sony you can load the mode by pressing “Increase volume” with the phone connected to a computer via USB.
There is also an option that works in most Android gadgets. You need to download and install the Adb Run . Then, activate USB debugging in the smartphone settings and connect the smartphone to the computer. Then, activate Adb Run by tapping “Reboot” - “Reboot Bootloader” in the menu. The smartphone will reboot and launch the FastBoot function.
Conclusion: - as you can see, you can put your phone into fastboot mode and exit it using several options. For the most part, they depend on the model of your gadget. But there are also universal ones. Also, you learned what this mode actually is. Good luck!

How to understand that your Xiaomi phone has entered Mi FastBoot mode?
The Android operating system on Xiaomi devices periodically crashes for one reason or another. As mentioned earlier, Fastboot can easily be confused with a complete discharge or a system error. In order not to aggravate the situation by trying to fix everything yourself and not to take your smartphone to the nearest service center, you should learn to distinguish one from the other. See what you can do if there is an exclamation mark on the Android screen.
If the phone switches to FastBoot mode, a white rabbit in a green earflap hat will appear on the screen, busy repairing a small android, or the inscription fastboot mode start on a black background.
At this stage, the user may be given a choice of several modes. To return to the usual functionality, you need to tap on Normal Boot. If the screen is simply black - without inscriptions or images, then the problem lies in a system error or in the complete discharge of the gadget.
Reasons why the computer does not see the phone via USB
This may be due to software incompatibility or technical problems. From time to time the cable gets damaged and the contacts in the smartphone break. In the first case, you need to try a different cord, and in the second, contact a service center to replace the connector. A broken port on your computer can also cause problems, so switch the wire to a different socket to fix the problem. These are the most common hardware failures.
With software errors it is more difficult, since there are many reasons for failures. These could be missing or outdated drivers, incorrect connection modes (when the computer charges the smart phone, but blocks the transposition of documentation into folders) and other incompatibilities, which we will discuss in detail below.
