I was always able to ADB shell into my phone after i installed the proper USB drivers as well as Pull up ADB DEVICES no problem and i SAW ADB DEVICE in my device manager
Ok i have finally got to the steps where i have flashed my sappimag.zip file to my Mytouch successfully. that ROM has been flashed and now when i boot the phone up it says VODAFONE and i can get intot he phone fully
I have turned the device off and hold the BACK and POWER button and the FASTBOOT screen comes up. i plug in the USB cable an FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB ok great.
i pull up CMD and type in ADB SHELL and it says DEVICE NOT FOUND. i type in ADB DEVICES and its blank.
I power down and power back up fully and same thing (but it was working before the flash of sappimg.zip)
i downloaded and installed HTC SYNC which supopsedly has updated XP drivers and it did.
i power down phone and power back up as normal and pull up CMD ADB SHELL works fine and ADB DEVICES shows my serial number. ok making progress.
I have turned the device off and hold the BACK and POWER button and the FASTBOOT screen comes up. i plug in the USB cable an FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB ok great.
i pull up CMD and type in ADB SHELL and it says DEVICE NOT FOUND. i type in ADB DEVICES and its blank still again.
what gives? why does this only work now with phone fully booted and not in fastboot mode?
also note my device manager no longer has ADB DEVICE anymore its gone.
adb doesn't work in fastboot mode.
edit for clarity: When you boot the phone in fastboot mode, adb isn't supposed to work. You have to boot fully, or boot into one of the recovery images that supports adb for it to work, fastboot doesn't support adb at all.

ok so what does this mean in the directions then? how am i supposed to perform the below directions in red then?
FLASH your T-Mobile myTouch 3G
Make sure are using fastboot from the latest SDK (release 3) !
- Power-off your device
- Insert the goldcard
- Power on while holding volume down (of fastboot your device and then press volume down)
- It should pick up the sappimg.zip and you should be able to flash it.
- Once the flashing is FULLY finished power off your device.
- Remove the goldcard and insert the SD (with update.zip)
- Power on while holding back (=fastboot) and connect the USB cable
- Download my RAv1.2.0H recovery and fastboot it :
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
it means exactly what it says:
Download the recovery image to your computer then, from your computer, run the command:
"fastboot boot recovery-image-name.img"
fastboot is a command line utility that comes with the android sdk. It allows you to push recovery images to the phone while it's in fastboot mode and boot them.
adb is used to communicate with the phone while it's running an android image, NOT while it's in fastboot mode.

ok i understand what you mean and say BUT look at the directions and it clearly says:
POWER ON WHILE HOLDING BACK (FASTBOOT) and then CONNECT USB
when i read that it makes me thnk think literal and to hold the Back button my my device and hold power and watch it come into fas boot mode and then when itmentions connect USB it makes me think im supposed to go into ADB shell commadn and then type that command in.
so im definately not trying to argue with you just trying to get you to se my point of view on why i am confused thats all.
i really apreciate your help on this.

ok one thing that again is confusing is that you say ADB can not recognize the phone while in fastboot mode but then you said i use the fastboot command line to push recovery images to the phone while its in fastboot mode.
how am i suppose to do that if the ADB shell (where i run the fastboot command line from) does not work if the phone is in fastboot mode (the mode it has to be in to accept recovery images)
see what i mean very confusing.
i just rebooted my phone normal. connected it to USB and went into CMD and ADB shell comes up fine
i typed in ADB SHELL
and then :
# fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
and it says:
C:\>adb shell
# fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
fastboot: not found
fastboot is different from adb........
2 different programs. adb.exe and fastboot.exe
just place the fastboot.exe file from the sdk into system32.
and try to put the recovery file in to the sdcard.
rename it to recovery.img to prevent misspelling .

I guess my Mytouch is now rooted? but wth a 32A radio?
i want to flash a 32B cyanogen 3.9.10 rom onto this device and using the directions below:
For Daredevils : Perform the following steps only if you want to revert to a 32B based radio and ROM.
Revert to 32B Radio and ROM :
- Download your favorite 32B ROM and copy it to your sdcard
- Download the Ion radio image from the HTC site.
- Extract radio.img from ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip using your favorite rar/zip program.
- Download my 32B RAv1.2.0G recovery.
- Fastboot your mobile and connect it via USB :
where it says copy your favorite ROM to your SD card well the ROM name i want is called "update-cm-3.9.10-signed.zip"
do i need to rename it to anything? or just leave it as it is?
do i literally just copy that file to my clean empty SD card no renaming to UPDATE or something like that?
Hi everybody, it's my first message here for a big promblem to solve.
First of all my Sapphire version is 32A SHIP S-ON H
I tried to install a Hero version on my Magic by following a recent tutorial.
- I tried to use ecovery-RAv1.2.0H.img (and older version) without success.
- After copying a JACxHERO version (and rename --> update.zip on the SD Card), I lauched the update with daldroid-recovery.img.
- The phone doesn't start (blocked with HTC Magic on the screen)
Problems:
- The backup I did with daldroid doesn't work
- My phone doesn't boot normally anymore
- I can't access the SD Card anymore (with Windows | Dos )
- The USB drivers are correctly installed
What is THE solution to reset the phone (by putting an original version of android on it)???
Thanks a lot for your help!

"update-cm-3.9.10-signed.zip" is perfect. Copy it to the SD, but rename to update.zip JIC.

thank you
With Amon_RA's RAv1.2.0 recovery you don't need to rename . I keep my favourite roms in my sd card and switch back and forth all the time
You just select (when fastbooted into recovery) Flash - Choose .zip, and you get a list with all .zip files on sd card root Sweeeet
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.

If you have any problems or question with rooting and flashing ROM's DO NOT open new thread, cause I will delete it, post everything here
Before we start, here is little Q&A section, so please READ this before opening new thread!
How to format and partition SD Card?
Read this
Is my desire already rooted?
- Check if you have superuser app in the app list all rooted phones have it
If I root a device which is already rooted, can it mess anything up?
- You can't mess anything up by re-rooting.
Will my phone get the OTA froyo update from HTC here in the US or do I have to do it manually?
- No OTA updates when rooted, to get them you will have to go back to stock to get the update(yepp unroot, or wait for devs to release rooted stock version)
What is S-OFF?
-HTC implemented security on their newer generation phones. This flag, called @secuflag, controls whether your phone has
it's NAND or flash unlocked. Most noticeably, S-ON (security on) will read-lock your /system and /recovery partition, to name a few. Also, secuflag controls whether zip files being flashed through recovery or fastboot, are signed by HTC. The now notorious S-OFF (security off) will disable this NAND security. Since we are unable to access the Radio NVRAM itself (where secuflag is stored), we turned our attention to HBOOT.
Here is How to S-OFF your HTC Desire

Guide how to unroot, flash ROM and updates
fake-flash
Fake-flash is only possible with root access, you need to be rooted to use it. Basically, its a way to have recovery running on the phone without using a PC (making it safer as you are less likely to brick using no USB cable to push files, instead, you push directly from your phone). You can use "ROM Manager" from the marketplace to do this. Simply place the downloaded test recovery image on the phone and the downloaded rom zip (renamed to update.zip) and flash using ROM Manager.
Preperation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!

You need to have HTC Sync and Android SDK installed (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).
To get adb running on the Windows OS platform, for example, download & extract the Android SDK to the following path: %SystemDrive%\android-sdk-windows (e.g. C:\android-sdk-windows)
Turn on your phone and connect it to your PC via a USB port.
Place the downloaded bootanimation.zip into the same folder as the adb app (in the tools folder of the SDK).
Open command prompt and type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, hit enter.
Type adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local, hit enter.
Reboot phone.

How to remove apps from ROM
You need to have root for this and Android SDK installed!
Link to detailed tutorial
Im using Paul's R4 rooting files at the location C:/users/veedubz/r4-desire-root in Windows 7 so point your Command prompt there first and im also assuming that you have a rooted Desire and can get into recovery mode
1. First get into recovery mode with the Green menu then close that command prompt and open a new one and cd to /r4-desire-root folder
2. You now need to mount the /system folder using the code below
Code:
adb-windows shell mount /system
3. Now you will need to get the list of installed apk files
Code:
adb-windows shell ls /system/app/
and the output should look like this:
Code:
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk HtcWeatherWallpaper.apk
ApplicationsProvider.apk Jbed.apk
Bluetooth.apk LiveWallpapers.apk
..... ......
HtcStreamPlayer.apk htcsettingwidgets.apk
HtcSyncwidget.apk restartapp.apk
HtcTwitter.apk teeter.apk
4. there are 2 methods of removal, they are
4a. Just delete the files
4b. Move to the sdcard
Use one of the following methods
4a. Now you have a list of the files you can chose the ones you want to remove , note that this part is case sensitive so com.htc.twitterwidget.apk is not the same as com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk, use the following code(example used is the Stocks app and widget):
Code:
adb-windows shell rm /system/app/Stock.apk
adb-windows shell rm /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.apk
4b. Also case sensitive, to move the files to your sdcard(which aso removes from the device):
Code:
adb-windows shell mount /sdcard
adb-windows shell mkdir /sdcard/device_files
adb-windows mv /system/app/Stock.apk /sdcard/device-files
adb-windows mv /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.apk /sdcard/device-files
The files will be moved to the new folder on your sdcard called /device-files, once there you can also backup to your pc for a bit of extra backup
5. Repeat Step 4. untill all the apk files that you want to remove are gone and to check that they are gone use
Code:
adb-windows shell ls /system/app/
Restoring your backed up files
Use the following code,
Code:
adb-windows shell mount /sdcard
adb-windows shell mv /sdcard/device-filesStock.apk /system/app/
adb-windows shell mv /sdcard/device-files/com.htc.StockWidget.apk /system/app/

Isn't the Modaco Custom Rom for the Desire the same rom as the one for the N1 port? If that's the case it's not that good because I had a lot of issues with the N1 port 22.1 alpha.

Hi! I was trying to backup my Orange Monte Carlo following a Portuguese tutorial but I'm stuck in the middle and I've got no help! Hope you can provide some! These are the steps I followed (translated)
1 - Install ADB Made Easy;
2 - Open cmd;
3 - Activate cellphone debug mode;
4 - Connect via usb (without mass storage) and install drivers if request [it was requested and i installed];
5 - Run adb devices, it should show your device [it did];
6 - Run adb reboot bootloader, your cellphone will boot in Fastboot, wich is an Android image without menus [correct until here];
7 - Run fastboot devices, your device yor a question mark(?) should show up (advance to next step), else you miss drivers [step not completed];
cmd says 'fastboot' is not recognized as a command. Now my phone is stuck connected to the computer with an adriod pick and I have no clue on what to do next!
Don't know where you were going with this but to reboot your phone just pull the battery ..
Not bricked

Thank you! Do you have any idea why the last command doesn't work? I believe it has something to do with file location... I'm trying to backup my Monte Carlo. Next steps were to "fastboot boot recovery.img" and then backup.
It should be in the platform-tools directory of the android-sdk. Verify that it's there...if so cd to that directory and it should work
I already fixed it for myself, thanks! Now I can't seem to be able to install clockwork!
Doing <<fastboot boot "C:\Users\R&J\Downloads\recovery.img">> reboots the device but doesn't enter recovery.
Doing <<fastboot flash recovery "C:\Users\R&J\Downloads\recovery.img">> , <<fastboot reboot>> and <<adb wait-for-device reboot recovery>> results the phone entering android's default recovery (no acess to backup feature).
Any way to help? Thank you!
The first command <<fastboot flash recovery "C:\Users\R&J\Downloads\recovery.img">> is trying to write the recovery.img you downloaded to a recovery partition on your device. It may not be overwriting the original recovery.
try changing permissions by doing
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /recovery
then try to flash again
Lol it seems like I have been luck enough to solve my own problems, I have sucessfully installed ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4 unofficial MoDaCo Edition using a bat file . Now I can't seem to find a way to flash recovery back to stock. I though this was an option inside the modded recovery. Any tips? Thanks again!
EDIT: I have the stock recovery file . God... this tutorials I'm folowing aren't that noob friendly...
Unlocking the Bootloader is Required! This will erase all data and void your warranty!
Since all data will be wiped it's best to do this immediately after getting the phone. At least unlocking the bootloader.
I won't add a disclaimer, because if you trust some guide from some guy on the internet you should know what that means without being told explicitly.
For me the bootimage method posted on Modaco does not work and apparently others seem to have trouble as well (see the poll at Modaco). And since I couldn't find any guide here on XDA I thought I'd write one. XDA helped me a lot when I got my DHD, so maybe now I can help back.
This is based on soyd's guide at swedroid.se which I used to finally get my phone rooted after some unsuccessful attempts.
The guide is for Windows, but could probably be easily adapted to Linux/Mac by using the appropriate drivers/tools. I followed these steps to successfully root my Moto G (16 GB, german retail, Android 4.4.2, OTA 176.44.1).
Here're the neccessary steps:
Install Motorola and ADB Drivers
Unlock Bootloader
Flash Recovery
Flash SuperSU
Enjoy
Install Motorola and ADB Drivers
Do not connect your phone to your PC just yet.
If you already have ADB drivers and Motorola drivers installed, just skip this step.
Download these files:
Motorola Drivers
ADB Tools (thx to androidpit.info)
mfastboot.exe (only download that file from the G-Drive folder - thx to whoever uploaded it)
Run the MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe you just downloaded and install it
Extract the two folders from adb-tools_treiber.zip
Open ADB-Treiber folder and run UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi
Copy mfastboot.exe to ADB-Tools folder
Now this next part might be optional, but some things might not work without it and there's no real harm so:
Enable USB-Debugging
On your phone, open Preferences
Scroll all the way down to About this phone
Scroll all the way down to Build-Number
Tap 7 times on that entry
You'll get a message "You're a developer now"
Go back and open the new item Developer options
Check USB-Debugging
Connect your phone to the PC
Drivers will be installed and the phone will ask you to confirm USB debugging from that computer
Unlock Bootloader
There are probably lots of guides around, but to have it all in one place, here's yet another one:
!YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR WARRANTY AND ALL DATA BY UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER!
Switch off your phone
Hold Volume-Down and press and release Power to boot into Fastboot
A text screen should appear
Connect the phone via USB to the PC
Open a command prompt and browse to the ADB-tools folder you just created
Type:
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
You'll get five lines of characters, all beginning with (bootloader):
Code:
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
Copy all lines into one long string without the (bootloader) part!
You want something like 0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD00 and so on.
Open Motorola Unlocker Site (you need to sign-in)
Copy the string in the box at 6. and press Can my device be unlocked?
A Request my Unlock Key button should appear. Check I Agree to the legal stuff and press that button
Check your mail for the unlock key
In the ADB-tools folder type:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock [I]paste_your_key_here[/I]
The phone should reboot and greet you with a nice warning about you having lost your warranty.
Flash Recovery
Now that the booloader is unlocked you have to flash a custom recovery to be able to flash SuperSU.
Download the CWM image from this post. The file should be named something like recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img. Copy the file to the ADB-Tools folder you created earlier and rename it to CWM.img
Your phone should still be connected to your PC and have finished rebooting and be in stock ROM.
In the ADB-Tools folder type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
The phone should reboot and the bootloader will come up again
To make sure all's working as expected type:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should get a response similar to:
Code:
List of devices attached
TA93005M6V device
To flash the custom recovery, type:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery CWM.img
On the phone you might get a message about size mismatch, just ignore it. Now you have to enter the newly flashed CWM recovery. Take your phone and:
Press Volume-Down to scroll to the Recovery menu item
Press Volume-Up to select that item (yes, Vol-Up selects)
The phone will boot into recovery
Now is a good time to backup your system.
Press Volume-Down to scroll to Backup and Restore
Press Power to select that item
Press Volume-Down to scroll to Backup to /sdcard
Press Power to select that item
Backup will commence, once it's finished go back to the main menu and select Reboot, then confirm with YES
You phone will reboot into the stock ROM.
Flash SuperSU
Now you can finally flash SuperSU and be done with the whole business.
Download the newest SuperSU and save the file to your phone's SD-Card's root directory. The phone should show up as an MTP device in Windows file explorer.
In ADB-Tools folder type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
The phone will reboot and once CWM Recovery has come up, use the Vol-Up/Down keys to scroll and Power to select
Select Install zip
Select zip from /sdcard
Select /0
You should find a file like UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip there.
Select that file, confirm YES and wait for the flashing to finish
Go back to the Main menu and select Reboot, confirm YES
The phone should once again reboot into normal stock ROM operation. To check if all went well, open the app drawer, tap on SuperSU and if no error message comes up... You're done!

Great guide, I used it to root my Moto G I got today but I had problems with flashing the Clockworld recovery. It simply would not work, said error. But I tried TWRP and it worked. But I also named it recovery.img and used your command but replaced CVM.img with recovery.img. Got rid of ALL of the bloatware. I was stuck at first because I didn't start the command promt inside of the adb tools folder.
Recovery issue
Guys I had a similar issue while flashing the cwm.
When I flash it in the first boot it works, I can enter in the interface and can create a backup or flash one, but after a reboot it do not enter again. I tried entering via fastboot -> Recovery and received the dead android icon with the "No command" message.
Tried installing via PlayStore and had the same result, even with the TWRP.
Any ideas ?
TWRP 3.0.2 for Acer Predator 8 ported by Ruben. - If you like my work please donate here, it will also give me a boost to make more things for this device : https://www.paypal.me/RubenCraveiro
----------- -----------
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOTING AND UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER:
After flashing TWRP 3.0.2, use the SuperSU 2.46 flashable zip, do NOT use latest version or will result in a bootloop. Good Luck and have fun with rooting. Unlocking bootloader will delete all your data, so please make a backup first. Thank you.
----------- -----------
CREDITS
And also, before anything i would like to say thanks to @arjaylzo for telling me the name of a device with TWRP which helped making this update possible.
REQUIREMENTS
1- Fastboot/ADB Drivers and ADB folder
For drivers: http://adbdriver.com - Download ADB Driver Installer (universal) from the website, extract it, connect device it should detect device(if not, enable USB Debugging and reconnect), and press install, it should install drivers.
For ADB Folder: download this and extract to your main drive(C:/): https://goo.gl/ZTrfBb
2- Unlocked Bootloader (you need requirement 1 to do this)
Instructions for Unlocking bootloader: Go on settings, about device, press build version several times till it says your a developer, go back to settings, press Developer Options, and enable OEM Unlocking. Power off, then press at same time Power and Vol+ button, then connect to pc and open a cmd and write cd c:\\adb and write fastboot oem unlock, then accept the prompt it will give on tablet, and follow the rest of the steps.
----------- -----------
New TWRP bugfix update! Now you can flash stock rom on TWRP without bricking! Download Page updated!
----------- -----------
BUGS:
1- adb shell command needs to be sent before system partition is mounted or it will give an error, after doing adb shell you can mount system and do all the modifications you need.
2- You cant flash any img on twrp it gives an error, im trying to fix.
3- Backups do work, but everytime twrp restarts, the device name seems to change (which means that on /TWRP/BACKUPS/devicename/backupsinside/ changes every reboot so you have to go get the backup inside the old devicename folder and put on the new devicename folder).
----------- ADITIONAL NOTES -----------
Im leaving an unsecured boot image because system seems not want to boot android if anything seems changed. So please if system does not boot after flashing twrp/rooting, flash the unsecured boot img on fastboot
----------- -----------
Steps TO INSTALL TWRP AND ROOT
1. Download and extract the files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxzG5iupOOSKNTdlRC1Wd0VmTlk/view?usp=drivesdk
2. Power off the tablet.
3. Enter fastboot mode by pressing the power button while holding down Vol -
4. Open up command prompt and navigate to the directory where fastboot.exe is located.
5. Pass the following commands:
fastboot flash boot unsecuredboot.img
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
6. Reboot into recovery (TWRP) and install SuperSU v2.46.zip

make sure you didnt put a folder inside the adb folder instead of the actual file and make sure your writing the right name of the file..

If you flash stock rom, i think you have to reinstall stock recovery, the rom itself already brings stock boot.. after flashing stock recovery it should boot since no modifications have happend

On step 4 You need the fastboot files, (adb & fastboot) just search how to install adb and fastboot drivers, choose the directory where to install them and place the needed files inside that folder and open a command prompt on that folder so you can flash the files.

That means adb drivers arent corrently installed, but i can see you have the folder with adb, all you have to now is download this(drivers): http://dl.adbdriver.com/upload/adbdriver.zip
Extract and open the software eith the tablet plugged in, it should tell of drivers is installer properly or not, and if not you can install, after installing it should work on the cmd the commands..
