****** UPDATE ******
The thing actually goes into fastboot, but only for two seconds!
And it also goes to diags (before the new battery, it never left USB download mode), but reboots after approximately two minutes. Waits for something, then timeout and reboot instead of continuing?
Below is a snippet of my host's
dmesg. The first USB disconnect is when it leaves USB download mode, the connect is when it goes to fastboot, and note how it leaves fastboot two (seconds?) later.
I was able to run commands like the
fastboot getvar * family, and the data returned is correct.
Anything you can make out of these two observations?
Is there anything I can execute in fastboot that might be of help?
