1. Make sure that you have downloaded the latest Android SDK. Put is somewhere accessible, such as C:\Android
2. Grab fastboot.exe and put it in the tools directory of the SDK.
3. Male sure that your computer is configued to use the proper debugging drivers. They should be in the SDK.
4. Grab this update.zip and put it on your SD card.
5. Grab the RAv1.0 Modded Recovey image and put it in the SDK tools directory.
6. Open a command prompt (shift-click in the tools directory and "Open command window here")
7. Making sure that you have everything in place, power down the phone and boot into Recovery Mode (hold the Power and Back keys until the three skating droids appear).
8. Go to the command propmt you opened earlier and type the following
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img
**im having trouble with steps 6 and 8.
I open cmd and it starts with
C:\Documents and Settings\RO>
I put the fastboot file in
C:\Android\Android\tools
**maybe if some1 can help me to direct it so i can open the fastboot file
i'd appreciate it
type:
cd c:\Android\Android\tools
and it should cd (change directory) to that dir
Ok so I've been looking around all over google and XDA for the correct way to install the usb drivers for adb and fastboot from sdk manager(r11) and there are no updated guides out there for the latest r11 sdk program... so here is my quick guide just to clearify how this is done on (Windows Vista/7) PC with Sdk r11!!!
Install Java and SDK
First Install Java jre, jdk... http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
install programs and restart if required...
Now go visit the SDK site and download latest version (r11).zip... http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Now unzip file directly to C: drive.. and rename folder to 'android'..
open 'android' folder and run 'sdkmanager.exe' install updates and packages than restart if neccessary..
ADB Driver install...
Now go to your device and enable 'usb debugging' located in settings>applications>development...
Now plug device into computer via usb and DO NOT mount device (storage) to computer!!
Now press START button on computer desktop..
Right-click on 'computer' and select properties..
Now select 'Device Manager' on upper left corner of newly opened window..
Look for device named 'Android' and open selection.. right click on under-link and select 'install drivers' or 'update drivers'...
Now select browse and go to this location than press ok..
C:/(sdk folder)/extras/google/usb_drivers
Now should say driver has been installed correctly..
Test method: Open CMD
cd/
cd (sdk folder)/platform-tools
adb devices
Should see device and number pop-up...
(ADB is located in Platform-tools folder now along with 2 .dll files needed for fastboot to work)
Fastboot Drivers Install
First powe off device, than power on holding (Back+Power)
Now plug usb cable from computer into device..
Do same exact method as 'ADB Driver Install' method..
(Fastboot drivers are located in same folder as ADB drivers)
Now to run fastboot mode in cmd prompt enter this..
cd C://
cd (sdk folder)/platform-tools
Should see device and number pop-up...
Alt method is to copy the 2 .dll files located in 'platform-tools' folder and paste them into 'tools' folder, than fast boot will run correctly off this in cmd prompt...
cd/
cd android/tools
fastboot devices
Should see device and number pop-up...
Also you could just go to ..
C:/android/extras/google in 'windows explorer'
and move the 'usb_drivers' folder to root of sdk folder (android) so then all the older guides out there for installing the drivers would actually kinda make sense.. lol
if i missed anything please feel free to add a comment!!
Edited for brevity: I'm setting up a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Retail with a W7 64 machine.
I completed the ADB section of your guide just fine and went to the Fastboot section. It says to power on using back+power. When I hold power+down volume (only option?) I end up in CWM Recovery.
Should I just power on normally and finish the guide or is there something else I should do?
Thanks for the guide btw

Click to collapse
well to install the fastboot driver you need to be in fastboot mode on your device... for the G1 it is back+power...
Ok, I tried it again and I left out a detail (sry). When I power on with pwr+left vol it gives me two icons. One is an Android in a box, which takes me to recovery. The other is an icon that says 'Downloading'.
This time I went to it and now I'm at a screen which says
ODIN3 Download Mode
(Protocal v2)
Reason: Force Key
Secure Mode: Nonsecure
Check Signature: Check
Waiting USB Cable.....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then it has a big Android in the middle of the screen with
Downloading.....
Do Not Turn Off Target!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
written under it.
Ok, I hooked up the USB and went through the steps and typed in the first two commands and am now in CMD at:
C:\Android\platform-tools>
But when I type in the "..\tools\fastboot.exe devices" command it says its not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or bath file
Btw, after I connected the USB, I got an additional line of text under "Waiting for USB" that says "===> Connected! Press the [Start] of Odin3!!"
***Update
Ok, so I copied the .dll files into Tools and ran CMD again and this time I at least did not get that error message, but it displayed no output at all, other than to begin another prompt at:
C:\Android\Tools
And that's where I'm at now.
wel uhhmmm this guide is for the G1... lol im not really sure what downloading mode is... if that is your version of fastboot than just follow the B. Instructions for the ADB driver install... the directions are the same exact for both..
Heh. Yeah its all good. I was able to install CWM and Root it, but I would like to get ADB/Fastboot working. Thanks for your help and patience with me
yeah no problem.. sorry if i couldnt help but the only thing i know is how to get it workin on G1 lol
i see many people on the G1 thread with sdk, adb and fastboot issues... FOLLOW THIS GUIDE!!! It is instructions for latest sdk Vr11... i promise this helps..
Thanks for the guide. Been trying to get ADB up & running on Vista with no success. I'll give this a try.
no problem.. sorry if i dont answer questions right away but send me a pm or comment on here and i will try to help as soon as possible!!!

fast boot will not run for some reason, anyhelp to get fast boot to run would be awesome
What error does it give? Did you turn off PDANet?
ive tried everything it just doesnt come up i double click it but it pops up and goes away then some times if i go to open by right clicking it it says the .dll file is gone but i got it sitting next to it
ok fastboot is what is used in CMD. ur fastboot.exe is located in the sdk folder then in tools. so what u will need to do is navigate to ur sdk folder in command and find fastboot. then fastboot (whatever commands)
Right... Use fastboot from the command line. Go to the directory fastboot is in with windows explorer hold shift and right click. Select open command prompt here. Type fastboot.
the newest Superuser-3.0.7_mod-signed can root it
I'm trying to uninstall Cyanogenmod 11 from my Nexus 5, but I'm very confused right now.
I have downloaded the Factory image (Headhammer-ktu84p) and the SDK manager (and installed USB driver, SDK tools and so on). My phone is in developer mode, and debugging is on. Both fastboot driver and original driver is installed.
I took my factory image folder and placed it inside the android-sdk/platform-tools folder.
Now, I can't get what to do. Some tutorials tell me to run flash-all, but it gives me this error:
"Fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command."
Other tutorials tell me to run fastboot.exe inside platform-tools, but it all it does is giving me different commands to try out.
I'm very confused, and don't have a clue what to do. Don't feel like any tutorials are working. Can somebody please help me?
What i did
I extracted all 6 files of the factory image directly into platform-tools folder
Then i connect my phone wid usb debugging enabled..
Go into platform-tools folder
Shift+right click
Open command prompt here
Now type
Adb reboot bootloader
Once phone boots into bootloader
Just double click on flashall

So, that resolution didn't solve my problem either.
I'm unable to instal the fastboot on my phone.
The problem is that Cyanogenmod has changed my "Recovery mode" and I just can edit some things through the "adb" commands. I don't have any possibilities to install things by the "flash" commands. And nothing about that icons like "flash-all.bat" is helping me to have my Android back or install the fastboot.
What can I do?
Make sure fastboot.exe file is inside the factory image folder. and drivers are installed. Then rebot phone into bootloader, by holding power and Volume down buttons. It will show you android image with open belly and some text on the bottom. Open CMD by holsing shift and rigth click on empty space in factory image folder.
Execute these commands:
Fastboot devices (If it will show up in CMD as connected, proceed)
Fastboot flash radio radio.img (file name may vary)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img (File name may vary)
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update (Here drag the zip file with factory image. the one that was in folder woth bootlaoder and radio images)
Fastboot reboot
That's it. To restore it to full stock, run command fastboot oem lock afterwards.
If i helped press that thanks button
Try using wugfresh nrt as well.
