Hi, question is in the title, how do you guys take screenshots of the bootloader ?
I had try ddms and droidexplorer but they're not working in fastboot.
You can try dalvik debug monitor (ddms.bat) from sdk tools .
EDIT : sorry , don't read that you have tried ddms ...

I tried with the DDMS.bat file. it was able to take screenshot while the device was in normal running mode. But when I switch to Bootloader mode and run the DDMS.bat or monitor.bat, the device is not recognized.
So not able to take screenshot of the Bootloader Mode screen. Any solutions from Experts here ???

Not sure you can?

Fastboot is protocol used to update the flash filesystem in Android devices from a host over USB(wiki)
So as far as i can understand the download mode should be our fastboot
Rest ul have to wait for one of the devs to answer
hi guys i also want to know how to get to bootloader mode cause i saw a video in youtube which when in bootloader mode &connected to pc u can view ur phones installed rom in pc window i.e. Files like normalboot.img, etc. U can also replace normalboot.img by draging it from other window. simple & easy no need to flash etc.
Is it possible for i9003 ???
Would somebody be able to help?
My phone has been playing up a lot lately. I was running MIUI.
Also the volume buttons do not work on the phone.
At the moment i have a phone which is stuck on the MIUI boot screen(just the yellow "MI" symbol)
I would like to get my phone back to stock, i have read so far that i will have to use an RUU (not sure if this is suitable or not for my situation?)
There are a few problems i have with this.
I have no idea of knowing what CID i am running, and no idea how to find it with my phone in its current state.
When i do look on the links to RUU pages i am unable to find one that is suitable for Orange (EE??) UK
[*[I have no experience of ADB, and if i need to use that i will need a complete NOOBS guide to how to use it.
Any help would be appreciated, even links to other pages etc.
Many thanks in advance for your help

When you say close to or higher than what on my phone what do you mean?
Then i am assuming it will work if the phone is stuck on the boot screen?

Hi,
The RUU runs from the PC.
All you need to do on the phone is to go to bootloader,then, fastboot, and plug in your USB cable and run the RUU.
Look at the thread I gave you.

do this
switch on your device normally
probably it will stuck in the yellow miui
then connect it to pc via usb
from pc go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window in that folder and do
adb reboot bootloader

Hello everyone,
I have done something utterly stupid with my Nexus 5, I wiped the internal storage and lost my roms, I really wasnt thinking.
I have tried looking at options like adb sideload but cant find a decent tutorial
Could I just get a micro usb to usb adapter and install a rom off that?
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction with adb sideload?
Other problems are I can't get on the android SDK because the CMD box only flashes up.
Does the adb sideload option in TWRP actually do anything if you wait for it? Its been waiting for about 1 hour now and nothings happening.
Please guys any help is appreciated

Why don't you flash the factory image using fastboot?
The Cmd box you are referring to happens because you need to navigate to that directory using Cmd and run it from there. You cannot just click it.
Thanks but I cant get the SDK to work at all. Im still looking into it but at the moment it wont work
Please somebody help me with the SDK, I dont know what else to do.
I cant open the SDK manager and I cant open it through eclipse either.
Someone else must have had this problem before
Click the link in my signature and then "adb and fastboot. What is it?"
This will help you configure adb properly. It also helps you learn commands. Like adb push.
adb sideload is the same as push but you type sideload instead.
FYI as much as people round here say it, there is no such thing as a soft brick. Its brick or not brick.

Show down and don't panic. Your device is easily fixed. Hold the power button for 20 seconds. This will shut down the phone. Then press and hold the vol down then press the power button. That'll bring your into the bootloader.

Power + volume down button brings you in the bootloader, from there go into recovery (navigate with volume buttons and select with power button)
In recovery follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200.
Or flash the factory image in the bootloader. (that should work because you need to unlock your bootloader in fastboot)
Thanks guys,
It wasnt working because water damage had interfered with the volume buttons previously.
I have a micro usb to usb adapter now.
Can i put a rom on a USB drive and install that way?

Well, it happened
I was sitting on a bench and somehow my phone found a way to slide between my fingers and crash. (I must note that it dropped on the bench, which was like 10 cm max fall).
Anyway, I came home, plugged it into my computer and miraculously the phone works even though the screen is all crashed/pixelated/non-responsive.
Is there a way to control my phone with my computer? Like viewing everything on the computer itself?
There are some programs that I need to backup my files there in order to use them on my other phone.
Thanks!

Already tried it.
I can't see if I got into the recovery mode and cmd does not recognize what "adb shell" is.
Even if I somehow reach it (and I'm not sure if I really did) then on windows it gives me an error qhsusb_bulk (driver not found).

If you're seeing qhsusb_bulk in Windows there's more wrong with the phone than just the screen unfortunately. I think we're going to have to move your thread into the Nexus section so the Nexus experts can lend a hand. Please standby while we have your thread moved.
Good luck!
Transmitted via Bacon
I finally managed to get into recovery mode. It seems like the "qhsusb_bulk" error is gone.
I tried using the adb shell but it doesn't recognize my phone even though device manager sees it perfectly fine.
Any help?
Maybe there is a chance that USB debugging is enabled so I just waste my time, how can I check?

Nope, that's the problem I'm facing currently.

There could be many reasons for that. Unfortunately I'm not terribly experienced with this phone so we'll need to wait for one of the Nexus experts to come and lend a hand.

Please Google "15 second adb installer". Use that to install adb drivers. Then open a command prompt. Make sure you navigate to where adb gets installed (usually in program files) then adb device
Edit: To check Developer Settings go to Settings then About phone. Tap your build number 7 times. This will enable developer options in settings. Turn on developer mode there.

Ummm that's kind of hard to do with a shattered display.
OP Just follow sandmans advice to get the drivers right and you'll be able to follow the tools instructions you're trying to use to enable USB debugging. If you just want your data off you could also just use:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard
Is your Bootloader unlocked?
If USB debugging is not enabled in Android and you can not enable it in android due to unreadable screen,
Your only option is to ADB shell from custom recovery such as TWRP.
You can only boot into custom recovery if your bootloader is already UNLOCKED.

Yes there are. The OP is trying to use one of them. He has a broken screen and is unable to use the screen on the device. He does not have USB Debug enabled. To use the program to mirror screen you need USB Debug enabled. See the catch-22 there? His only hope is to enable it via recovery and ADB. But as @joegestes points out if he's not already unlocked he needs to unlock for that. Unlocking wipes the phone. Another catch-22.

The method 1 in the image says you to use a custom recovery. To use a custom recovery also your phone must be rooted and bootloader unlocked. So, you can't do this without rooting your phone.
Yeah, 4shreyas is right.

Actually, your shud have asked it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon
Okay, install Minimal ADB and Fastboot in PC. (Google it)
Then install your phone drivers and ADB drivers (Google it).
Download this: http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/trltevzw/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-trltevzw.img
Rename it to recovery.img and place in C:/ drive
Enable USB debugging in phone and connect to PC. (Google it)
Then open 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' shortcut in Desktop as Admin and type the following:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery C:\recovery.img
Now install the mod zip file which you saw from there.
That's all. Your phone won't be rooted.

After rebooting into bootloader, check if your phone is connected to fastboot mode properly by:
Code:
fastboot devices
If an unique device number is listed, then it means your phone is connected properly.
You can proceed.
You can also try manually going into fastboot by holding some button combination like power + volume up+ volume down while phone is switched off. (This is device specific, so better ask in your phone's forum if you can't figure out)
After going into fastboot mode, do the recovery booting as I gave command before
