Help with Fastboot

Basically, my xoom has been rooted and currently I have CynogenMod9 RC0 Wingray currently installed.
I wanted to install a new rom but I couldn't do this using CWM Recovery as the SD Card doesn't Mount. Upon doing some reading I found I need to install the Rogue (or EOS) Recovery image. This is where my problems begin as I can connect to the device when the xoom is fully booted in the CM9 and connected via debugging mode(running adb devices returns a sequence of numbers ).
But then when I reboot into the bootloader it gets stuck on "Starting Fastboot protocol support." and i can't connect via adb!!!
I believe this started happening after I unlocked the bootloader but i can't be 100% sure (fastboot oemunlock)
Please help!!!

When it is on fastboot mode you can only use fastboot commands (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) that is how you would install the recovery image from rogue or EOS or TWRP, whichever you choose.
Or to make it easier, you can boot your tablet, install GOO Manager. When you open the GOO manager, tap the setting in the top right corner and choose Install Open Recovery script and let it install TWRP. Then boot to recovery.

You specifically said it says starting fastboot protocol. That's as far as it goes. You then issue fastboot commands, not adb commands

Ohh ok, makes sense. I will give it a try later when i'm home. Is there a Fastboot command i can use to check the device is connected??

Help CMW won't boot to recovery

[SOLVED] (not sure how to tag as solved in the title, if mods can do that please or tell me how)
Flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery following these instuctions
droidviews.com/2013/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-motorola-droid-razr-hd-xt925gsm/
Installed Rom manager.
Booting into recovery results in robot on his back with the triangle and exclamation point animation and stays there unless I
force reboot by holding the power button. Phone boots to stock rom or fastboot just fine.
Tried reflashing CWM just in case.
I am rooted via motochopper
Unlocked bootloader via motopocalyspe.
I factory reset my phone prior to all this so there are only a few apps installed, also SuperSU installed.
Rogers version XT925
Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Are you using the cmd 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'

Thanks for the quick reply; yes that is the command I used to flash the recovery image to my phone.

check see if your recovery image is in the same directory as your fastboot eg Cmd > cd C:/fastboot flash recovery recovery.Img
I always paste my files directly into cd C:/ .
If you have them in a folder in c it would be ' cd C:/folder name here fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

They are in the same folder, in the mean time I actually found another thread with the same problem. I guess I didn't search hard enough the first time before posting. I found a 1 click installer for CWM/TWRP that fixed my issue. I'm guessing I may have just had a bad recovery img or something.

[Q] HTC All in one toolkit <device not found> HELP!

Hey guys,
It was freaking hard to unlock the bootloader and S-OFF my htc sensation. But I was successful in doing it. I've using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233.
When I first unlocked snesation, I S-OFFed it but then the bootloader showed LOCKED again, even though the guide says it should say Unlocked. (I unlocked it correctly the first time). So I Unlocked it again... i found no other way.. Then it showed Unlocked.
As of now, it shows...

Help would be seriously appreciated!!!

Are you trying to flash recovery? Do you have adb fastboot setup on your PC? You can flash recovery via fastboot from your PC.

Yes, I'm trying to flash a recovery to flash a custom ROM.
ADB fastboot is setup.
Could you send me a good guide for flashing via fastboot. I'll try it and update you. Should I just put the recovery file in to the fastboot folder and use the fastboot command?

Yes, put the recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot folder, boot ur phone into fastboot then plug in ur phone to computer and it should say FASTBOOT USB. Then in the fastboot folder, hold shift - right click - open command window here. Then type -
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You now should have recovery installed

You're S-off I guess? You're already rooted as root is a prerequisite for S-off. Download app root checker from play store and check your root status. It should say rooted.

Rename it as PL99IMG.zip and put it in your external sd card. Then turn off your phone and once its off, hold down the power and vol down button until you enter hboot. The installation will automatically begin.

Extract the boot.img file from the update if it has one.
Reboot into fastboot
Shift+right click in the folder in which you have extracted it and type : fastboot flash boot boot.img
Else directry proceed with this :
fastboot rebootRUU
You'll see the HTC logo then type
fastboot flash zip <zip name>.zip
If it gives an error saying hboot preupdate or something just type the previous command again
fastboot reboot
If it still does not work relock your bootloader using the following code and try again
fastboot oem lock

yes it did. Flash the zip again if it gives error 90
k if you switched off you phone after that you'll have to redo it again.
So reboot to ruu
Flash the zip
If you get error 90 flash the zip again
Reboot and you're done

[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)
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

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.
