I am trying to unlock the xoom (best-buy, wifi only - in Canada).
I have adb and fastboot installed.
I have been developing apps on it all week (direct from eclipse, by pushing, by adb shell, by adb install etc).
I am using ubuntu 10.10
Rebooting to bootloader runs properly using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
when I try
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
it says
Code:
'< waiting for device >'
and does nothing (I have been waiting for 10 minutes now).
Code:
adb devices
does not show the xoom listed (it did before rebooting to bootloader)
Code:
fastboot devices
also does not list any devices
I have tried rebooting with the hardware method as well (plugged into the computer and not plugged into the computer.
Killing and starting the adb server doesn't help either.
I would appreciate any guidance on the issue. I will post if I find a fix somewhere else.

Did u try to do a adb remount then try adb devices
Thanks for the help, I had not tried to remount.
If I remount before booting to bootloader it tells me that the operation is not permitted (Expected - I haven't been able to unlock it yet)
if I try it while I am waiting for fastboot to connect, it it says
Code:
error: device not found
.

Did u download motohelper drivers so your adb will recognize the device
if the xoom is in fastboot adb wont recognize it hold power and volume up to reboot and try again
The xoom is recognized already. I am able to send the adb reboot bootloader command. When the xoom is trying to load into fastboot, it is not visible, which makes it impossible to enter the oem unlock command.
I gave up on the device, I was having issues with geolocation as well which didn't exist on another device. I returned the device and am waiting to receive the 3g version from the US.
I have the same problem. Does anyone know how to get around this?

If when you can run the adb reboot bootloader command and don't get fastboot to work, then as yet I have not found a solution. Instead I just returned it and ordered the 3g version from verizon and had it shipped. The commands worked fine. If you cannot use the adb command to reboot, then check the instructions for installing adb and fastboot and/or post the error messages you are getting.
On a side note, where did you get your xoom (country/store etc). I wonder if it is a problem with a certain batch, or all the Canadian ones etc. I my wifi only version from bestbuy in Canada.
I'm having the same problem right now on my xoom.
I was preordered on Amazon and delivered to New York 3 weeks ago...
no solution as for now..
returning isn't an option for me, since I live in Poland :/
ok,
I've made two thing, not sure which one worked
1) added /etc/udev/rules.d/11-android.rules file with :
Code:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666"
2) performed fastboot as root (I hate such obvious solutions)...
I'm not sure if you're using Windows or not but I didn't had any issues when I used fastboot. Just need to make sure you have the drivers installed, and when you do adb reboot bootloader check the device list to make sure it still shows your device listed in there and not as a question mark. If you don't see your device listed in the Device List or does show but with a question mark, double check to make sure you have the drivers installed or else fastboot will not work.
And don't bother trying to use adb when you're in the bootloader since adb will not work.
*** edited: just noticed now that you are using ubuntu 10.10 (I need to stop over reading stuff). Can't remember how the drivers aspect works in Linux since it's been forever since I've used a Linux flavor but you will still want to make sure you have the correct drivers installed or make the changes that niematunikogo did and see if that worked.

before typing all the commands, first type "sudo su". adb and fastboot both need to be executed as root (adb actually works without root in case you already edited the USB rules before)
I had same problem but just returning device was not what I intended to do

I trying to unlock my XOOM WIFI from COSTCO, when I ran the command
adb reboot bootloader
The XOOM reboots show the message STARTING FaSTboot protocol support and stuck in there, I have to VOL UP & Power to reset it.
What I am doing wrong.?
I do not want to do the ONE CLICK to avoid wiping the machine completely.
Do I need to wipe it the first time?
you need to have fastboot in your machine, then you can run:
fastboot oem unlock
it will ask you to use volume up/down keys to confirm "twice" the terms of service and will unlock it for you.
please not that unlocking it will void your warranty right away, so unless you are a developer or have a very good reason to do so, I would not recommend it.
You are doing it right.
adb reboot bootloader
is supposed to bring you to "Starting Fastboot protoco"l screen. Just continue and enter the commands as the instructions entail. If this is the first time you are rooting the device though you will end up wiping everything fyi.
ubuntu and fastboot....waiting for device
I am running Ubuntu 10.10. When I do adb reboot bootloader....when I run any fastboot command it says <Waiting for Device>…do I need to install USB drivers and how would I do that on Ubuntu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Type in adb devices.
Does it list your device there?
Most likely it's a driver issue when it says "waiting for device."
I know nothing about ubuntu though so i wont be any help getting those drivers installed.
Yes it does before I get into the bootloader. After I get into the bootloader I get nothing.

Hello First thank you soo much for this wonderful information.
Sorry in advance if i am just not smart enough to follow your wonderful directions on how to overclock but when i put in adb my Command prompt says it is unreconizable and will not get past that. it is rooted i did that the other day thx

Make sure you are running the commands from the directory on your computer that the adb file is in. For example, make sure you do a CD "\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools" if that is where adb and all the necessary files are.
thx for reply
Thought I did ill try again this weekend to over clock my xoom never was good at dos.
hello,
I'm hoping someone here can help me sort out my current problem.
I've been trying to root so I can install the latest ICS port, but having problems at the Fastboot screen.
I apologize in advance if some of the references/names I'm using are incorrect.
So, I had originally unlocked my Nexus S sometime early this year. When I restart the phone, the "unlocked" lock picture shows up under the "Google" words, and when I go into fastboot mode, the Lock State is Unlocked.
I'm running 2.3.6 right now on the Tmobile version of the phone.
When the phone is on (not in fastboot mode), I can execute ADB commands and the device is recognized. As soon as I go into fastboot it isn't.
I'm running 64bit Win 7, and I have gone through the various threads that have listed this issue, and installed PDA Net drivers and still there is no solution.
In Fastboot mode, while connected to computer under device manager, it shows up under Universal Serial Bus Controllers as an Unknown Device... I'm unable to update any drivers for it, and even when I try to manually update the drivers by going to the PDANet drivers it does not allow it.
When the phone is on in regular mode in device manager it shows up as Android Phone and within that it has a listing called Android Composite ADB Interface.
As mentioned above, when phone on in regular mode everything is detected.
I installed clockwork app from market, assuming that the phone was "rooted" based on the "unlock state" in fastboot mode, but it immediately says that phone needs to be rooted because it was unable to find SuperUser file etc etc.
I've spent the better part of a few days trying to figure this out by checking all sorts of links, but I haven't found a solution. The main issue is that the phone is not being recognized when in fastboot mode when connected by USB. And I'm unable to install the proper drivers for fastboot mode.
Hopefully this makes sense, and someone can provide some insight.
Thanks in advance!
I'm not positive about this but couldn't you adb push the su binary and apk? I don't own the Nexus but I would think since its unlocked you could just push the files. If this would work I would think it's just a temporary solution to allow superuser permission. As I understand it, fastboot is the preferred method for the Nexus.

Did you try a fastboot command like fastboot devices?
Don't know if this applies to you but I had a similar sounding problem when trying to root my Nexus S where everytime I booted into fastboot mode I had an error message at the bottom of the screen saying something like 'fastboot status-fail Invalid command' and so I couldn't use any fastboot functions.
To get around it I used this one-click root . For some reason I got an error message halfway through for whatever reason and it wouldn't complete the root for me but it booted me into fastboot without receiving the error message and then once I was in I went and rooted manually.
The CWM is out of date on that site though (possibly the super-user zip too) so I replaced them with the latest versions and popped it in my dropbox for you, if you wanna try it out.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47770734/One-Click-Nexus-S.zip
Edit: just had a little look through the bat script and the initial commands that got me into fastboot properly is (with your phone in debugging mode):
adb start-server
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So you could try that first if you wanna go through manually.
Know that you can't run adb command while in fastboot mode. Boot into your CWM and then you can start an adb shell and you'll be able to push all the files you want and execute all the commands you need.
Fastboot mode is for running fastboot indeed. Try 'fastboot devices' while you're in the bootloader and see if devices pop up. If not, you really have to figure out your drivers issue. Maybe remove the device completely from your PC (including driver files) and reinstall it using the PDAnet drivers.

I have a Nexus 5, returned to factory specifications (many times) with backup & restore inhibited. I am trying the “very simple” process of unlocking it, without any success. My problem is repeated many times on the web, Fastboot does not work, but ADB does.
I run the following command:
C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
0315c2d60935c160 device
Then I run the following command:
C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices
C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>
ADB sees the phone; Fastboot does not.
The solution is well documented on the web: Install new drivers. I have been installing drivers from just about everywhere for the last week without success. With the phone connected, I get this from Device Manager:
Computer
Android Device
Android Composite ADB Interface
The driver information is as follows:
Driver Provider: Google, Inc.
Driver Date: 7/9/2013
Driver Version: 8.0.0.0
Driver Signer: Google, Inc.
Driver Details:
Driver Files:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Winsub.sys (File Version 6.2.9200.16384(Win8_rtm.120725-1247))

I am running a Dell XPS-17 I7 laptop with Windows 8 (not 8.1) 64 bit
If I could find a way to unlock without using Fastboot, that would probably be a good solution, but I can’t. And I have absolutely no success at getting Fastboot to work.
I do notice that the Device Manager lists Android Composite ADB interface (ADB works) but noting about a Fastboot interface. Does that mean anything?
Please help I am at my wit’s end.
For what it is worth, I did read all the tutorials here, and the only thing I could figure out was if I have the right drivers everything works fine. I also reviewed the posts here, including "Diagnosing USB Driver and ADB issues in Windows," which discusses ADB (which I have no problem with)
this article helped me out a bunch. http://blog.dantup.com/2012/10/fixing-adb-device-not-found-with-nexus-7-in-recovery-mode/
you'll have to edit the "android_winusb.inf" with the correct hardware id.
in Device Manager make sure you go to "Android Device" > "Android Composite ADB Interface" go to Properties. on the Details tab and then click on the drop down box and select "hardware ids" you might see 2 ids there. i believe the one you'll need is the bottom one. if you only have one. thats fine too.
so, read the article. grab your hardware id and edit your driver. see if it works. you may have to reboot after you edit the driver. hope this works for you.

OK, please don't be offended, but I have to ask a really dumb question. You aren't running the "fastboot devices" command while in recovery, right? I read the above twice and didn't see where you booted into bootloader after running the "adb devices" command. Unless I'm missing something, fastboot won't find any devices unless you are in the bootloader.
Sounds like you need to boot your phone into fastboot mode. Power off the phone and hold volume down and hit the power button.
Then the fastboot devices command should work and you should be able to unlock the boot-loader then. Unlocking the boot-loader will wipe your phone just so you know.

Actually, the answer to that question is "Yes, and no." I was not aware that Fastboot only worked in the bootloader, but I could never get it to work there either. However, when I copied the previously posted listings I was not in the bootloader, I was in normal booted mode.
I then went and tried it in the bootloader, to copy listings to post, and here's what I got!

As you can see it unlocked the phone but I have absolutely no clue why it unlocked this time and never did before. I hope to God I never have to unlock it again.
Also, it appears that in the bootloader, ADT is NOT working but Fastboot is! (now)
You realize that the two command line interfaces (ADB and fastboot) don't work in the same state, right? ADB is for use in recovery and while booted, whereas fastboot only works in bootloader. It sounds to me like everything is working exactly as it should.
I'm no expert or anything, but I always assumed that they were two different ways to interact with your device while it is in different states. If I'm mistaken, someone please correct me.

ADB is used in android and the recovery.
Fastboot is used only in the bootloader.
This seems very much to be a driver problem. Everything I find says Mac needs no driver for this device though.
dab works fine. android file transfer seems the device file structure fine. only thing not working, is when the device goes into fastboot mode, "fast boot devices" returns nothing. "fastboot oem unlock" sits and 'waiting for device' and never goes any further.
What's going wrong?

no driver's necessary, maybe your sdk installation is an old version and needs to be updated for kitkat?
fastboot is 1 word, not 2 as you have listed
you would execute this in the terminal:
./fastboot devices
( might be ./fastboot-mac devices )

autocorrect keeps changing to two words in text boxes other than terminal. It's not finding anything. Others have seen different? That'd be shocking to me. With no drivers installed?

I've used both adb and fastboot on a Mac for my Nexus 5, Nexus 4 and Nexus 7.
No drivers needed.
If you have adb and fastboot in the same directory and you can use adb without issues then fastboot should work as long as you've rebooted into the bootloader.
If it's still not working maybe take a look at this writeup about setting up adb and fastboot on a Mac... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237

Because I'm on API 19, that means I've already updated the SDK as far as is possible. ADB works. fastboot doesn't. What nexus 5 fastboot driver actually works?
Good afternoon everyone
I got my K1 for Christmas and I've been trying to root it for a few days but I can't get that far because I can't get the bootloader unlocked.
I've been following the guide based off of Nvidia's website
I've activated USB Debugging mode as seen here . Now once I've authorized the PC using the tablet. Once I run cmd in administrator mode I run
Code:
adb devices
I am able to get the serial and it says it's authorized. However if I go into Fastboot. if I check for devices it just goes back to the prompt, and if I try to run the unlock command it just gets stuck on <waiting for devices> (I've attached a screenshot here.)
At first I thought this was an issue with the OS/Drivers because I am on Win10 x64, and the shield drivers gave some error about driver incompatibility. So I loaded up a VM with win7 x32. However I am running into the exact same issue once I get to fastboot; the tablet just doesn't want to cooperate. I've booted into fastboot manually Where the options are:
Code:
[nvtboot] (version UNDEF_BUILD)
[bootloader] (version UNDEF_BUILD)
Device - locked
Continue
Fastboot Protocol
Recovery Mode
Restart
Poweroff
Nothing is recognized from there either. I've also tried multiple cables, since the Shield doesn't come with any. Anyways I've searched the older threads here for help but none of them have given me any luck. If there's something I can try I would definitely be open to hearing it and trying, I just don't know what the issue could be.
Thanks for your time everyone.
You have boot into the bootloader before being able to use fastboot. Just reboot your device and hold vol- during startup. The tablet will show some console messages, offering some options. If you see that screen, you can use fastboot.

Hey there, sorry for my late reply, I've been swamped with work. I've tried your advice with no luck so far.
I can reboot to the bootloader, but when I select "fastboot protocol" I don't get to choose Select on/yes. it just refreshes the screen with the same options that I listed above. If you'd like when I get home I can provide a screenshot of my tablet so you can see the options, but I'm not getting anything like you described. Am I missing something?
Thank you for your time so far helping me.

Hey Sorry again for a late response! However the good news is that I got it working!
What I ended up doing was hooking up the tablet to my Raspberry Pi with MATE and running adb/fastboot there. I originally ran into the same issue, but since I was able to sudo fastboot everything was recognized and seemed to work fine. I appreciate all of your help, and I apologize once again for the late replies!
For those that don't have a Raspberry Pi to follow the OP solution (like me), it's likely that your drivers aren't up to date on your PC.
Go here... https://docs.nvidia.com/gameworks/content/devices/shield_flashing_from_image.htm
And follow the initial instructions in the introduction paragraph and get yourself NVIDIA CodeWorks for Android. Once downloaded and installed you'll then see the shield in your fastboot devices list.
