Seems like your post got truncated for some reason so we can’t really see what you were trying to execute in the Terminal application.

Is this a new board? Have you ever installed images onto it? Maybe it is not installed with a new enough image that supports booting into fastboot mode. If that’s the case, you can try using https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/ConsumerEdition/HiKey/Installation/BoardRecovery.md or https://github.com/Linaro/documentation/blob/master/Reference-Platform/Releases/RPB_16.06/ConsumerEdition/HiKey/InstallDebianRPB.md#sd-card-method to install first an image that supports it.
