I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. I can't get fast boot working properly. When I type in fast boot devices I get nothing, just another command prompt. My tab shows up fine in adb devices though.

I might be mistaken, but if your tab shows up in ADB devices... then it is NOT in fastboot. Does your tab, upon booting into fastboot (power + vol down) then selecting USB icon... let you know that you are in fastboot (it will say something to that affect in upper left hand corner in landscape orientation)
I had the same problem...

I'm sure you've figured this out by now, but I'm responding for posterity because I found this thread while searching for the answer to my own n00b issue.
Anyhow, the long and short is that adb interfaces with the device when it's booted into the normal mode. The fastboot binary interfaces with the device when it's booted into "fastboot mode."
That's why running fastboot devices turns up an empty result when adb devices shows it's there. There is no device in fastboot mode attached.
I figured it out by looking at the udev rules and realizing the tablet reports different USB device codes depending on which mode it's in.
Just run adb reboot-bootloader to get to the mode select screen, then use Volume-Down (ONLY!) to select the USB icon. Volume-Up selects the mode. Voila, it's in fastboot mode and you can use the fastboot binary to perform commands now.

Hi. I've recently bought my TF700 and upgraded to JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.4.25-20121228 (JB 4.1.1). Now I want to root my device, so I first unlocked the bootloader using the ASUS unlocker. That went fine, since it says "the device is unlocked" in the boot sequence. The device boots and works properly.
Now I wanted to get to the stock recovery mode for a backup, but it fails miserably. I get to the four icon menu (RCK, Android, USB, Wipe) and select RCK. Then an android icon with a blue rotating icosahedron in its chest apears for a couple of seconds and then a "dead" android with it's cover opened and a "!" enclosed in a red triangle. After a couple of minutes, the device reboots normally (I can force that by pressing down the power button for 10 seconds).
I tried to get to fastboot by choosing the USB icon, but it does nothing (just freezes in the four icon screen and stops responding to any other buttons); the PC doesn't see an USB device of any kind. I tried connecting the USB cable both before and after selecting the USB icon with no difference. I'm sure I have at least some good drivers because I can use adb with my device when the OS is running.
I'm new to this device, so I may be doing something wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
The stock recovery can only apply stock updates, you cannot use it for making backups.
Fastboot mode should display some message similar to "fastboot protocol enabled", the rest appears to be driver problem on your PC. Fastboot mode uses a different USB ID, so having ADB working does not mean that also Fastboot will work.

Thank you, _that. Whatever drivers it might need, I cannot install them because no USB device of any kind appears in my computer besides my keyboard. I think I should be getting "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" or something. How can I get fastboot to work?
Sorry, it seems it was a USB port problem! I changed the port and the fastboot device is now available in my PC. Fastboot is now able to send commands like 'reboot' to my device.
Thanks for your clarification about the stock recovery mode, _that.
I Have an original Xoom upgraded to 4g
It started yesterday saying it was upgrading, when it was done everything constantly crashed when it got to the home screen. I eventually could hit the OK buttons on the unfortunately XX has crashed quick enough to go into the settings and say factory reset. In the middle of the reset it froze.
Let it sit for a good long while, now when it starts up I have three states
By holding down the power button it just goes to a distorted Dual Core picture
By holding down power and vol+ it says
"Starting RSD protocol support 0
OneWire: Charger is connected...
Battery charge Level : XX%"
By holding down the power and vol-
"Starting fastbook protocol support"
At this point it does not seem to respond at all except for vol+ and power to reset. Am I missing a key combination, or are there other tricks to get past this point?
is there ANY way to get this to running again or should I chuck it in the garbage? It was $800 at the time of purchase would hate to see it be useless... Of course the warranty is no longer available
Here is a picture of what it looks like

You may have to fastboot a boot.img Grab a compatible boot.img for your device
1. Go to Android SDK, platform tools, place the boot.img in there.
2. Plug in your Xoom to your pc, on your Xoom go to the fastboot prompt.
2. On your pc, go to command prompt from platform tools.
At the prompt Type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then after that is done
Code:
fastboot reboot

Thank you - I am looking EVERYWHERE and can't seem to find the HRI66 or HRI39 for the XOOM verizon version... I keep finding links to go to the motorola site - but its not on there anymore
is there a repo somewhere of these?
Hi All:
First-time poster here. I searched the forums but could not find an answer to my problem.
I want to root my A700 and install a custom ROM but I can't get the bootloader unlocked. I have followed the instructions from this post but can't get past the first step. ADB definitely recognizes my device [adb devices] by returning the correct s/n. When I enter [adb reboot-bootloader] my tab reboots but then hangs on the green Acer logo and goes no further. Any attempts to use ADB result in a "waiting for device" message. My only option is to power off by holding the power button then reboot normally.
Here's my device/PC info:
A700:
Android version: 4.1.1
Kernel version: 3.1.10+
Image version: Acer_AV051_A700_RV18RC01_PA_CUS1
Build Number: Acer_AV051_A700_1.052.00_PA_CUS1
PC:
Windows 8 Pro 64bit
Android SDK 64 bit (I also tried 32bit with no luck)
I have rooted devices before so I am not totally new to the process, but no expert either! Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any advice/info shared!
Note: Had to use Acer USB driver for ICS. There was no USB driver for JB. Could that be the problem?
Perhaps try to reboot into bootloader manualy. For this first switch off your device, then press power button and volume (-) together. As soon as the tab vibrates, release the power button and switch the screen lock two or three times. Then you should get into the bootloader mode and can try to use the adb commands. Of corse, with a connected usb cable.

Good thought but no luck.
Thanks, though.
After rebooting with "adb reboot bootloader" you should be in the bootloader, and in fastboot mode. Try issuing "fastboot devices" after rebooting.
Edit: Just tried the unlock guide from that thread, and with the ICS driver from Acer. Getting the driver to install was way worse than unlocking the bootloader (many "installations" that didn't create any files for whatever reason).
After ADB recognized my tab, I was able to follow the guide up to the "flash recovery" part.
- with "adb reboot-bootloader" you should land in the bootloader. It only shows the Acer logo and some very small written things in the upper-right corner;
- from here on you need to use fastboot: "fastboot oem unlock". Typing "fastboot devices", as I said before, works just like "adb devices";
- the whole unlocking procedure is very frustrating, because the instructions are so small and the timeout so fast. If I'm not mistaken, you need to choose with VOL- and confirm with VOL+.
PS: pmrmx was faster

After the ADB reboot-bootloader, there should be some really tiny white type in the upper left corner of the green logo screen.
This is when you type "fastboot OEM unlock" then volume +, then volume -
The tiny type should change. Forever after you will have a tiny message up there about the bootloader is unlocked.

Unfortunately, the problem is that the little white text never appears - that's where it hangs - the screen is completly blank except for the green Acer logo. And if I try to enter "fastboot devices" I simply get another adb prompt (nothing else - it just jumps to a new line.) If I enter "fastboot oem unlock", adb returns "<waiting for device>" and then goes nowhere. All the while, for both commands, the tab is stuck on the Acer logo.

You probably need to install adb USB drivers ( android universal USB driver I think which is different than the Acer USB driver ). While adb will work when tablet is in USB debugging mode, once it rebooted your PC can't communicate with it anymore that's why its waiting for the device.

Thanks, hey_joe. I actually already tried that but decided to try again. This time it worked! I don't know what I did differently but bootloader is now unlocked!
Thanks, All!!!
Tablet ubislate 9ci hanging on bootloading
Dear sir/madam, I am new to this forum. I purchased a new tablet Datawind Ubislate 9ci. It is a 9 inch no-bluetooth tablet.
>Details:
>*.Android 4.1.1
>*.Rock chip RK2928
>*.KERNEL linux version 3.0.36 i was trying to install CWM through mobile odin and ROM manager but my tablet was not supported so i downloaded build.prop editor from google play and changed it to some other cwm recognizable model viz. Samsung, nexus etc. When i was doing the above mentioned procedure, suddenly my tablet is coming up to bootloading and hanging there only and not opening i tried to go to recovery by pressing power and vol but i am not getting recovery menu, i also tried to hard reset by pressing reset with a needle at the back but all in vain again hanging on bootloading i also tried press and hold power & vol- and several other combinations , all in vain so kindly help me and guide me Thank you
Hello there. First of all thank you for your support. I'm here because I have the same problem as OP, but first a little context.
I have already rooted my A700 before, without any difficulties. But after a crash, I restored it to factory and tried to redo the whole procedure.
So, here I am, USB driver installed (I had to modify android_winusb manually for windows to finally accept the drivers), adb up and running, adb reboot-bootloader executed and...
Acer screen, no text, just like the OP. And a yellow "Fastboot" device in my Device Manager window. So I'm stuck here. I've tried to uninstall/reinstall the google USB drivers to no avail, unlike OP. I can access the Acer recovery with the reboot recovery prompt, but I'm not confident enough to ignore the step in this tutorial.
Additional precisions : when the device is stuck with the Acer Logo (without text) trying to use a fastboot prompt (like oem unlock) only gives me the <Waiting for device> message.
I could use the Acer recovery to install a rom from external storage, but I'm unsure if it's a good idea to NOT use CWM or TWRP
Thank you, I'm starting to miss Android 4.4 (yeah, because the Acer update manager give an error 400)
Update : I did manage to access fastboot. Just as I had to modify android_winusb with the PID of my tablet when it was running, I also had to edit the file with the PID of the tablet waiting in fastboot. I didn't noticed they were different.
I've been trying to flash a new kernal on my (rooted) Kacaso M766 and there really isn't much support for it anywhere.
Nevertheless, I have (as far as I know) successfully installed adb. Everything appears fine in adb, at least. Using the "devices" command shows the tablet, back up works, resetting adb with the root permission command works, and I was able to create a debug dump, but when I use the reboot to bootloader command, my tablet reboots to the OS still.
Any ideas of what could be wrong?
I can't get to the bootloader via button combinations, but I've figured out how to get to Fastboot and Recovery with button combinations and even safe mode, but none of them bring up the bootloader screen. There are only three buttons but like I said, little to no support for this manufacture so it might be some strange button combo for all I know.
Also when I go into fastboot then plug in a USB the tablet shows up as WM8950. Any idea what drivers would I use?
Any help would be welcome. :good:
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to root my Shield K1 (Android 6.0) since hours, without success because:
I have no acces via adb. Im using the latest adb and also the right drivers (see picture) but I alwas get the message "unauthorized" in adb.
I can't boot my tablet into fastboot mode. When I press the power button + volume up to come into the menu and I select fastboot protocol, the tablet just starts again into the same menu - so i don't get into the fastboot mode. Pressing the powerbutton + volume down don't works either.
I have tried already almost everything: uninstallig drivers/reinstalling it, factory reset on my K1,...
So how I can root my phone without adb or fastboot? Can anyone help?
Even the recovery mode is broken I think, after booting into it, the green android with an red triangle is shown.
Is there something wrong with my K1?
PS: In the menu, which is shown after pressing power + volume up, is standing:
[nvtboot] (version UNDEF_BUILD]
[bootloader] (version UNDEF_BUILD]
Device - locked
You need to enable USB debugging in the developer settings and then allow debugging access from your computer by accepting a popup on your tablet.
Yes, I know this and I did this of course. But there never poped up something on my tablet.
So I also resetted the debugging setting, wiped the tablet, but nothing helped.
1. Sometimes the micro USB cable you use can be bad so I would suggest trying a different cable (especially since you have a K1 which doesn't come with a charger or cable).
2. Fastboot mode is that screen with the menu, that's why "fastboot protocol" just takes you back to the same screen. Also, recovery mode on the stock tablet just shows the android icon and triangle, so your recovery mode is fine.
I would suggest booting the tablet into android (so not the fast boot or recovery mode) and connect it to the windows PC using different cables until the authorisation pop up come up.
I am having the same issues as the OP, the only difference is my bootloader says "unlocked."
I was able to get authorization from the computer, no issues there, however fastboot will not find the device and neither will adb when at the "fastboot mode."
I'm trying to get fastboot so I can flash a recovery, but no luck to this point.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks so much mate! :good: That's the sentence, that helped me. I didn't know this menu is already the fastboot mode. So if one know this it's quite easy to proceed.
Problem solved - tablet already rooted
The adb access is still "unauthorized" but doesn't matter anymore.
No problem, glad you you got it sorted.
It's odd your ADB access is still unauthorised, but at least it still works.

Just as an FYI....I got mine working. Needed to reinstall the nvidia drivers... Got authorization, etc... so assumed working and as we all know assuming is bad!
