Getting "waiting for device" when trying to flash CWM Recovery on Z3C

[Emanuel Martins]

Hi, guys, first of all, I apologize for creating another thread about this topic, but I find myself out of alternative ways to solve this issue.

I've done everything I needed:

Bootloader unlocked ✔
Android SDK and its packs installed ✔
Google USB Driver installed through Windows' Device Manager ✔
Fastboot and kernel downloaded ✔
USB Debugging mode activated ✔
Typed fastboot devices in cmd and it showed my device's serial ✔
Phone in fastboot mode ✔
Tried with different USB ports ✔
Opened the cmd as an Administrator and from the Fastboot folder ✔

... and I still get this "waiting for device" after typing the fastboot flash boot xxx.img command.

What do I do? :'(

Try taking a look at this thread below. It might help you get the recovery installed.
