[Q] fastboot? - General Questions and Answers

hey guys plz I want to restore onandroid backup from fastboot but I don't know how I boot in to fastboot I try to open cmd and I typed the command of fastboot but it's tell me something like the operation failed plz help

If you have an adb shell set up on a computer, plug your phone in (with usb debugging enabled) and type the command "adb reboot fastboot" and that should do the trick. Failing that, try the command "adb reboot bootloader". I know that on HTC phones at least you can manually navigate to fastboot mode from bootloader.

Try to flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" and flash a RUU.
Then try again from the beginning

Open cmd prompt. Navigate to folder where your fastboot program is (i.e. c:\android is where I put mine).
Plug in phone, boot into bootloader and click power to access fastboot.
Type in the "fastboot OEM lock" command in command prompt as suggested by torxx and that will relock the bootloader. Then flash ruu in bootloader

Once u relock bootloader, you are done with command prompt... I think. I havemt done it on this phone, but usually you put ruu on root of sdcard (internal in this case) and reboot into bootloader and the ruu should begin flashing from there. Make sure its named properly. I'm sure there are threads regarding this

[Q] After erasing the recovery with fastboot my LG p350 don't start

Hello,
I have followed a tutorial for solving the problem of "Fastboot mode started
udc_start()" from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131247 and something was go wrong.
I have done this steps in the sdk platform tools folder:
1- fastboot erase recovery
2- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( here i've got an error)
3- fastboot reboot
Everyting was ok until I have tried to write the .img file on the phone. I've got an error that I don't have enough space. I think I have deleted the recovery file and now it's stuck, because it's not booting. The 4 leds from the bottom it's flashing continuously and the screen remains to the LG logo. I have tried to connect the phone to the PC but the device it's not recognized anymore. I get this message in the adb tool "Waiting for device"
I really appreciate if it's someone that can help me
I have a p500 and I had the exact same problem as you. But I was able to fix it after a lot of Googling.
Can you get to fastboot right now? If so, make sure that the recovery you downloaded is correctly named "recovery.img" and is placed in the same folder as adb.exe is located. After that, type:
Code:
fastboot devices
into ADB. If your device is listed then proceed and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If nothing comes up when you ask it to list fastboot devices you need to delete all of the drivers associated with your p350, and then reinstall them using a toolkit or PDAnet. Then go back and try fastboot devices again.

Can you pull the battery and then use the combination to get into Fastboot? If you can't get to fastboot, then the problem is beyond what I'm capable of doing.
Though, the problem may be that you completely deleted your recovery.

That is incorrect. The recovery does NOT have to be named recovery to use fastboot to flash it, although it does make life simpler

[Q] In dire need of help, stuck with no ROM on phone :(

Hello all,
as the title says, I'm stuck in TWRP recovery after wiping my rom to revert to stock... then realising that the recovery doesn't recognise the image as it's a .tgz file.
I've tried to ADB into it, but no such luck, I just get error: device not found.
Does anyone know a way I can fix this?
I've also tried the adb sideload feature of TWRP to no avail.
Thanks in advanced guys.
Flash the factory image through fastboot. Download and run flash-all.bat (something along those lines)

Go to bootloader and run "fastboot devices" and see whether your device gets detected or not? If it does, then flash the factory images. System and boot img files would do the job.
If it doesn't then you need to fix the adb, fastboot issues first. Follow these threads:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nt/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339
If you have an OTG cable with you, you can directly flash the rom from a usb stick!

Minimal is fine but you have to manually add to environment variables or cd to the directory but that's all done with the 15 seconds one.

Xt1033 Adb Can't find device in fastboot but finds it when booted

Odd thing really, When I type "adb Devices" when My Moto G is in fastboot, No devices are found.
How ever, When I Simply boot up my phone, adb can find it perfectly fine.
My drivers are up to date.
Can someone help me with this?
Do you have adb debugging enabled?
If your phone is in fastboot mode, type "fastboot devices" at the command prompt.
I don't believe ADB commands work in fastboot. ADB commands are used in debugging mode.

Hello. I am new to rooting and I wanted to root my old Moto E3 power. But the problem is when I flash TWRP into the recovery it says OKAY and finished then when I try to enter recovery mode my phone just boots up the OS and TWRP is not installed. Please help. Thank you in advance.
Fastboot commands operate on phone's bootloader, not on Android OS as this ADB does.

Reflash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all modifications you applied so far.
