What can I do in fastboot mode?

Fastboot is a tool/protocol for writing data directly to your phone’s flash memory. In practical use, it is used to flash images such as recoveries, bootloaders, and kernels to your Android device. Outside of the obvious, you can also restore nandroid backups, change your splash screen, and flash system updates.
