I come from the world of Windows Mobile and have just recetly delved into hacking my G1. While I've had no problems installing jesusfreke's images or themes...I'm struggling with how to get fastboot to work.
Perhaps someone can give me some guidance. Anyone willing to give me some simple step by step instructions. I've searched for this and i think I have everything i need, but I'm unable to get to a point where I can type in commands. when i try to run adb, it open very briefly and closes.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jason
Go to start -> run -> type in CMD
Navigate to the folder where adb is located.
Then type in adb devices to see if it finds ur device.
If not then make sure you have it plugged in and USB debugging is turned on in the phones settings under Development.
Also download the usb drivers/or the whole SDK if you havent yet.

If you try to execute a text mode executable in windows, it will close the terminal window as soon as the program finishes. If you run adb without any arguments, it will print the arguments out terminate. I could say the solution is to open run as and type cmd, but the true answer is to install Linux

1. Download this
2. Extract the contents of the fastboot directory to the root of your C drive.
3. Go Start -> Run -> type 'cmd' (no quotes) and hit enter
4. Type 'c:' (no quotes) and hit enter
5. With your phone plugged in, you should be able to type 'adb devices' and it should return your phones serial number, which is usually in HTXXXXXXXX format. If it does not, make sure debugging is enabled on your phone and you have the adb drivers installed.
6. type 'adb shell reboot bootloader' and hit enter. The screen on your phone will go blank for a second and then you should be in the SPL with the skating androids. Make sure you see "FASTBOOT" at the bottom of the screen.
7. type 'fastboot devices' and hit enter. If you see your phone's serial number again, you have successfully established a fastboot connection with the phone and can run commands such as:
fastboot erase <partition> (erases the given partition)
fastboot flash <partition> <file.img> (overwrites and flashes given partition with given file. This is how one would restore from a nandroid backup)
fastboot reboot (reboots the device into user mode)
Hope that helps. Have fun

First, the command is adb devices not adp. Second, make sure you copied the contents of the fastboot directory to the C drive. Third, make sure you that when you type 'c:' into the command line, the command prompt actually changes to "C:\>"

i did all the above steps with no problem at all till i got to number 7. when i typed in fastboot devices it just goes to the next prompt without my phone showing up.
If i plug in my g1 in normal mode i see it at the top under adb and in the usb section as a mass storage device.
In bootloader mode with fastboot on the screen it doesnt show up anywhere in the device manager.
Also when i follow the above quoted steps and type in the "adb shell reboot bootloader" and hit enter i hear the ding you hear when you unplug a usb device, and all instances of the phone then leave the device manager.
i have also uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers for the phone and all drivers that have to do with the usb ports on my win xp machine.
Anyone have any ideas i could try?
I think you need this program. I put it on my desktop, then just ran cmd, directed to it, and type in fastboot.

Fastboot mode not recognized
I'm having the same problem. I've installed all the correct drivers and in normal mode, I see the Android Composite Device (or something similar) in Device Manager.
As soon as I go into SPL mode (the 3 skateboarding androids screen), the device does not show up.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

When I'm in the Command Prompt and I type C:, the directory still reads C:\Documents and Setting\Reids. It won't change to only C:

I need help trying to flash my cupcake images that I have stored in my fastboot folder. I attached the pictures below. I will accept any help I can get.
EDIT: Doh, I thought I was in another topic.
My bad.
Are adb & adb's dll files located inside the same folder as fastboot??? They are suppose too be.
Is your usb cord directly plugged into your system or thru a hub??
Your phone, i bet is under usb mass....to check, expand your device manager window.
Expand your USB-Mass storage list.
With your phone in fastboot mode, click on the camera key and the back key. With enough time inbetween for your system to recognize that there might be a device hooked up.
Notice any change in the list??

this seems like the most easiest thing to do but i still cant get it to work
i have downloaded everything needed and see ADB Interface on my device manager with a yellow mark on it when i try to update the dirver it fails and i got the drivers and point them to it but seems not to work
my phone is on the fastboot screen with the android skateboards guys
i dont know whats going on if someone know what am also doing wrong can tell me please...
This is what i get
Adb is saying that it doesn't recognize "fastboot" as a command. I haven't really use ADB since I got the phone in February, has there been changes to the commands needed?
I did a simple search and found this: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...-fastboot-devices-command-not-recognized.html
GL Hope it helps.
Problem is not it recognizing cause Adb reboot-bootloader works.

Make sure fastboot is still in your tools folder. With some of the updated sdk fastboot gets removed. If it's not there you can get it from the cm wiki and just put it in the tools folder.

The problem is that you think you need to run adb to get fastboot to work.
adb and fastboot are 2 separate programs. ADB is the Android Device Bridge where fastboot is another standalone command line program s used to directly flash the filesystem etc.
If you download the Android SDK now, it won't have fastboot included, so you need to get it from somewhere else, like the old CM wiki as crump suggested.
Once you have the compiled fastboot file, you can navigate to it from a command prompt and execute the fastboot commands
Greetz
Thanks for the clarification. I really only used it once or twice when I first got the phone. And I just looked and I am missing the fastboot. I'll give it a shot.
In cm wiki there is only fastboot 32bit. I have 64bit, will it still work?

Hi,
please help me! I hope it is not a brick.
I wanted to make full wipe. I made factory reset in recovery and then wiped sdcard.. Now I cannot boot ROM because there is no one and I have nothing on my SD. So I even cannot copy rom or backup back to phone.
Is there any way out? (
EDIT: I think I can push files (e.g. backup) through adb, right? I installed adb for dummies but when I want to execute SDKmanager.exe. it only opens black window and immediately closes it. I cannot continue

Access your commands through a terminal window, like start > run > cmd to get into the prompt.
and from there work your way to your directory where you have placed it, and execute the command from that directory directly.

Thanks!
In the end I used adb to push backup in recovery...
All this I did because I wanted wipe my device - today I woke up and got a call and found out that my earphone stopped working I am afraid that it is due to condensation and next oxidation... I did not do anything wrong but when you come from cold winter weather into a warm flat it can happen Now I need to send it and hope the warranty will pass..
Anyway, I was looking for complete unroot process and found several advices. I am not clever from them. Is it enough to flash stock ROM? Recovery will be removed as well??

1.Switch off your phone
2.Connect your phone to your PC throught the USB cable
3.Switch on phone into fastboot
4.Provided that you have the driver for windows for the phone installed open Start/run/cmd (from your PC)
5.From the Android-SDK/platform-tools run the following "fastboot oem lock".
like :
C:\Android-sdk\platform-tools\fastboot oem lock
this will lock it immediately ...

it works only in "tools" and then it just says "waiting for device" and stucks When I tried "fastboot devices" it says nothing... I tried to reinstall drivers but maybe I have some old version? When I am in Windows copying files etc. it works well.
1. Make sure you open the command prompt IN in the folder with fastboot.exe.
2. Put the phone in fastboot mode.
3. In the command prompt type fastboot devices.
It will now show your serial number. If not its either you are such a noob that you managed to screw that up or the fastboot drivers are not installed. Or both.

If you have i9023 you need to add a line into the sdk for driver. You can search the tutorial threads for it.

try this
just check if you have fastboot and adb on the same folder, when I've rooted mine's got this issue, if cmd report "the command is an external one" simply means there is no such program in the folder you are in
copy both adb and fastboot in tools and platform-tools too, so you can run the command in both folder
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android-sdk> cd tools (then run adb or fastboot)
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android_sdk> cd platform-tools (thr run adb or fastboot)
1. Find out exactly what phone model you have if you don't know already.
2. Do the same for your computers os . Including 32 or 64 bit.

For one fastboot doesnt work on my computer. It opens and closes immediately. What i would like is a detailed step by step guide with a trouble shooting guide. I mean now i reading about downgrading, blob files and a few other things i never dealt with on my galaxy. Someone help......would love to root this thing. Email me if u want [email protected]
You need to run fastboot from the DOS Prompt
start run - cmd
then type fastboot command.
I take it you have unlocked your bootloader?
Check this thread, it has videos about rooting and whatnot, hope it helps:

Put the recovery image in the same folder as your fastboot application and it should work.

....what fastboot folder? I installed the ADK per the instructions, I downloaded the root and recovery image. I looked in the system for a fastboot folder and do not see it. Plus when I try to type in the fastboot command now, it says it is not a recognized command. I am sure this is something simple, but I am just not getting it. Is there a more detailed step by step somewhere that will actually walk you thru the steps without assuming you know what they are talking about? I can root my phone, my galaxy tab all day long and install and change ROMS, but this one has me upside down.
When you installed android SDK and ran SDK manager to install the tools, it should create a "platform tools" folder. In that folder you should see "fastboot.exe." Put the recovery image into the same platform tools folder.
Make sure when you run the command that you are in the command prompt, and that you have navigated to the same platform tools folder. It should then recognize the fastboot command and flash your recovery.

Found the folder and it did have the platform tools in it but Apparently I have forgotten how to navigate in CMD, so I moved the folder to the current location CMD was at. I typed in the command fromt the walkthrough and I get "adbwinapi.dll" is not installed. Not sure if this is progress or not.....so now what.
That file should be in your platform tools folder as well. I think it's a driver issue. Is your tablet showing up in device manager? Does it have a yellow triangle? I'm not really an expert unfortunately, hopefully someone with more knowledge can jump in.

You should not move the folder. This can cause all kinds of problems. in the cmd prompt just type
cd \folder\folder\etc.
The cd means change directory and you start off with a backslash to set the initial path to the root of your drive. if folder names include spaces then wrap the path with quotes, cd "\folder one\folder two\etc". the prompt should change from C:\windows or whatever to what you typed in.
if you've installed on a drive other than C: then first change to that drive by typing the drive letter followed by a colon, ie D:

I don't understand "if I can put files into my SD only with TWRP in my hands", you don't have a pc where you can copy the rom to your sdcard? BTW you should be using twrp 2.3.1.0.

You can't take the sdcard out and put it to your pc, copy the rom from pc to sdcard then put it back to your device? or you could use adb to push the file and hope adb is working on your pc.

You don't move the adb.exe, where ever the adb command located, you need to open command prompt and navigate to the adb.exe folder. Asus Sync is located in C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Sync and so is the adb.exe. so open command prompt and type:

I thought that you already have adb working on your PC, but seems like you don't. You need to download Android SDK and once installed, you can use adb command from this SKD. Here is the link to how install Android SDK. It shouldn't take no more than 10 min. Just download and run the install, only select packages with the word "Android name" should be only 2. Once you done this, adb and fastboot should work fine. You also need Java, but like 99% ppl with a PC should already had Java installed.

This tool is very important in rooting, recovery, flash stuff to your device. So I recommend you install this and get it working, it will save you a lot of time and headache in the future.
EDIT; If you think you have all the components already installed, you could download the adb/fastboot package here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1403567&d=1350299936 , unzip it to your C drive, you will have a folder called "Install recovery", in this folder there's adb and fastboot command, and then open cmd navigate to this folder and execute adb command line I provide previously see if that works.

All there is in here is a .cmd file, no adb or nothing, I tried to use the command line you provided me, but all I get is:
adb server is out of date. Killing...
*daemon started succesfully*
Protocol Failure
Edit: I also downloaded the Android SDK Manager and downloaded the two tools

If you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1350299936 download the zip file then unzip to your drive. In this new folder you should see adb.exe and fastboot.exe and a few dll files. Do you see them??? Make sure your anti-virus doesn't strip the files.
