My tablet is stuck in fastboot. How do i get it out?

[Android Central Question]

My Huawei Mediapad S8-301L is stuck in fastboot and I can't get it out of it. When I power the tablet on it says: "Entering into fastboot mode. You can press POWER key for more than 10 seconds to reboot device" and when I reboot it the tablet goes back in fastboot mode. So I tried using adb fastboot but when I type in cmd "fastboot devices" it doesn't see the tablet.

Do you have the Huawei driver installed? (adb and fastboot require it.)

If you do, the phone has to go to a JTAG service (a few shops do JTAG, otherwise you'll have to look on eBay) to get the OS force-fed. (The reason for what's happening is that Android is gone. If it's just a software problem, Android can be forced into the phone with a JTAG device. But if it's a hardware problem, you'll need a new motherboard, and that may not pay for an almost 5 year old tablet. (Even JTAGing isn't that cheap.)
