[Q] Fastboot does nothing!

Hey,
i just wanted to flash the newest clockworkmod but my fastboot.exe does nothing.
Phone is in fastbootmode, please help
Windows 7 x64...but it worked the other day

Fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img where "recovery" stands for the numbers of the recovery in tools folder i believe.
Also if you run 2.3.4, recovery wil not stick after reboot unless you change something ( i believe the recovery.sh file), hope this helps!

i can flash the recovery fia ROMManager, and also can boot into it, but when i boot the phone into bootloader/fastboot mode i can't flash a new recovery, because when i hit enter after "fastboot" i get no output in cmd

If you don't get anything back on fastboot devices, then you either don't have the proper drivers installed, don't have the phone in fastboot mode, or don't have the phone connected via USB. Probably the first one.
Easiest way to get the fastboot drivers is to simply install PDA Net on your computer and follow the on screen prompts. It will automatically install the appropriate drivers for your device.

That method works. I suggest do it again and follow the instructions more carefully.

Did you ever figure this out? I have installed PDA net, drivers, etc, and fastboot simply will not connect to my phone. Win7x64.

Need more info.
Did you install the "ADB Bootloader Interface" driver?
Did you boot the the phone into the bootloader before trying the fastboot command? (ie. UP + PWR)

Try fastboot & try to flash clockwork.img recovery!

unlock bootloader doesnot work
We all know the standard commands to unlock the bootloader but for some reason on my Nexus S device, the bootloader unlock is not working. Here is what I did,
1. Connect the device and type 'fastboot oem unlock'
2. It brings up a menu to select "No" or "YES" to unlock options...I navigated through volume up key to select "YES" to unlock boot loader.
3. Now I have to restart the device by pressing power button, the POWER BUTTON doesn't respond there by bootloader unlock doesn't complete.
4. It just hangs in bootloader unlock screen forever.
Does anyone faced this issue? why this happens??
please help me out.
Thanks and regards,

You need to be in the boot loader for that to work.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I've the same Problem. I'm in the bootloader and it says Fastboot Mode but the device is not recognized via USB.
Therefore fastboot is just waiting for devices.
Any suggestions? When my nexus is booted i can connect it als USB-Storage and so on.

I fixed it using the sdk drivers and the fastboot and adb files from the sdk (path/android/platform-tools).

Didn't work for me. I'm always using SDK.
My Bootloader is unlocked. (the little lock ist opened )
I just tried it on a completly different computer. just setted up a new SDK on my laptop.
Am I doing something wrong?
I've USB-Debug Mode enabled.
I boot holding VOL up + Power Button to enter the bootloader
Plug in the USB cable
and then i try ~android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot flash recovery myrecovery.img
Here my Fastboot says wating for device.
If i'm booted up on my rom i can connect via adb and get a my device via adb devices.
Probably something wrong with my fastboot.exe?

[Q] Stuck in "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG"

My NExus S is stuck on the screen that says:
Fastboot Mode No Boot or Recovery IMg.
Product Name - Herring
HW Version - Rev34
Bootloader Version - D720SPRKC5
Baseband Version - D720SPRLCI
Carrier Inro - SPR
Serial Number 32300E25C33500EC
Lock State - Locked
options to select
Reboot Bootloader (gives me exact same screen) except it only says "Fastboot"
Reboot Back to the "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG"
Recovery (Can boot to CWM but I can't mount anything)
Power OFF (That works fine)
Then the little green man and the android logo
Followed by USB Control INIT
USB Control INIT End
STANDARD_SET_CONFIGURATION
Conventional wisdom says download some files and fix via fastboot. However in fastbootI can't run ANY of the steps without running FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK. When I run it my phone asks if I really want to unlock the bootloader. when I choose YEs and hit power it just freezes there.
My next thought Boot to recovery and restore. A restore through recovery followed by a reboot leads me back to the original no boot or recovery img.
Okay I'll just sideload a working rom by mounting usb storage. Then I can flash it with CWM and be up and running.
but when I try to do mount the USB Storage I get "E:Unable to write to ums 1unfile (No such file or directory)"
Finally, Last ditch Effort, I'll load up ODIN and use that to put on a working recovery. there's forums all over the place explaining how to do that right? Well yes, but the links to the Tar file are all broken.
What next my friends? I'd really like to get this phone working.

Your bootloader is LOCKED. You must first UNLOCK the bootloader by clicking "Unlock" on Nexus Root Toolkit.

I have the same problem.

Same situation for me, because i pressed "Reboot" in CWM without having flashed a Rom (stupid ). Broken power button, hanging on Google logo or in Fastboot mode.
I hope RTK will help me :good: :laugh:
Edit: I have no idea how to revive my Nexus S. Status: Broken Power button, Bootloop, can access Fastbood Mode but dont select someting, Bootloader unlocked, RTK doesn´t find any devices in Fastboot Mode, Device is rooted and has CWM

what about just using adb? Can you find it when you type fastboot devices? If so there's a command in fastboot to reboot to recovery I think.
I on the other hand am screwed. I read in another forum that it hangs on unlock because the internal memory is fubar.

Solution for me:
1. Turn device on into Bootloop
2. Connect it via USB (PC founds it)
3. type in CMD "adb reboot recovery"
4. device is in recovery
5. reflash everything i wanted :good:
Requirement is a working Android-SDK!

I wish it was that easy for me. I can access recovery just fine. It's the memory I can't touch. Unless someone knows a way to fix corrupted memory...

We will need quite a bit more information to be able to help.
What rom are your running?
What recovery?
What bootloader?
What did you do when this happened?
Did you use "Wipe Data" from the bootloader menu?
When the tablet is booted to recovery, do you have ADB access?

I guess you are using a translator for these posts?
Could you please try to seperate sentences?
It is very hard to read and understand what you are trying to say.
We need your bootloader version number. For example: 10.6.1.14.10 would be the latest. What do you have installed?
We also need the recovery version number. For example: TWRP 2.6.1 would be one possibility.
It sounds as if you installed an incompatible recovery and then used "Wipe Data" from the bootloader which is not a good idea.....
You are in a "forced reboot to recovery loop".
You do not need access to the bootloader for ADB to work in recovery. Try searching web pages in your language to get ADB drivers installed on your PC.

Actually reading your post again it sounds as if you are on stock firmware.
Did you install a custom recovery?
If not, reboot the tablet. It will start the recovery.
Connect the tablet to a power source and leave it like that overnight.
It could be that the recovery is still trying to finish the "Wipe Data" command and you keep interrupting it.
Leave it alone for 6 hours.

Yes, I think you have a forced reboot to recovery issue.
It's not clear from that video at which point you let go of the buttons, but I think you don't press them long enough.
We have to see if you can get into fastboot.
Keep holding Power and Volume Down past the first Asus screen and until you see a screen with 3 icons: RCK, Android and Wipe Data.
Confirm if you can get to that screen.

Connect your tablet via original USB cable to your PC.
Open Device Manager if you are on Windows.
Boot the tablet and let it loop on the TWRP logo.
Does it get recognized in Device Manager in any way? Any change in the list of connected devices?
If not, I'm afraid this is a brick.
Sorry

Don't understand your last sentence.
But if you have adb, open a command prompt from the folder where you're adb.exe is and issue this command:
Code:
adb devices
If that returns a string of numbers and letters, you have an adb connection to the tablet.
If it returns nothing you'll have to get the correct drivers.
But try this first and we'll see...

Nexus 5 stuck! Please read! Help!! ):

Today I decided to try and put my Nexus 5 4.4.4 rooted phone back to stock. I unlocked the bootloader and then it would boot up to the 4 coloured orbs. I discovered that this is because of ClockworkMod Recovery (which is the reason I wanted to get a fresh install of 4.4.4). I went into clockworkmod and do the "wipe data / factory reset" but that didn't help. I think my USB debugging has since been turned off due to this.
I can boot my phone into the area with the menu for "Recovery" and "restart bootloader" and stuff like that. The bootloader is unlocked but when I run "flash-all.bat" it says "waiting for device".
Please help me! ):
