Cannot root magic

Hello,
When I do this command I see the device in the list:
adb devices.
The the next step is to go in fastboot, witch I do with BACK button + POWER on. The fastboot mode is on, but I couldn't see the device anymore. So the next command doesn't work at all:
fastboot boot recovery-new.img
Do I have to put on the phone again, because that is not written in the manual.
Greetz,

Windows vista for example tries to install the incorrect drivers. Adb drivers are not recognized for it in fastboot mode, or will install different drivers.
Use usbdeview to delete all the HTC or android drivers. Go into fastboot mode connect phone, manually install your drivers from the sdk/tools/usb drivers folders. Boot the recovery, backup, then flash the recover. Feel free to PM and I will try to help.

when your in fastboot its
fastboot devices rather than adb devices
make sure your phone is connected and in fastboot mode
as well as make sure it reads
"fastboot USB"

minogue has the correct information listed for you (assuming that you have the USB drivers installed for "fastboot" mode as well.
I had the exact same problem as you, but after typing in "fastboot devices"... bingo, there it was.

OK, I went in the control panel of vista and delete the device, plugged in the phone and installed the correct drivers and it works.
Thanks

Nexus One to CyanogenMod How Do You Do It

So i read a story on Engadget that would allow the Nexus One to record videos in 720p. I wanted to do that but i was told that i had to modify my phone with some program called cyanogenmod. I was linked to this guide:
edit: well i'm not allowed to post links on this forum, that sucks. I'll just post a snippit of the webpage.
Prerequisites
In order to flash a fully stock Nexus One with any ROM, you must first unlock the bootloader of your Nexus One and flash a Recovery Image. If your Nexus One's bootloader is already unlocked, and you already have a Recovery Image installed, skip this section.
WARNING: UNLOCKING THE NEXUS ONE'S BOOTLOADER WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
You will need the fastboot shell on your computer to use the commands to unlock the bootloader. Follow the Install the Latest Android sdk guide, to get the ADB and Fastboot shell on your computer.
Before continuing, you should first copy all the necessary files to your SD Card. Doing so will make the entire process much easier and faster. Please do the following to copy the files from your computer to SD card root if your Mass storage is not mounted or you get error when trying to access the mass storage drive.
Connect Nexus One to Computer
Make sure the computer picks up the newly connected device and shows a new mass storage drive
On the phone, pull down the top notification slider, you should see an item called "USB Connected"
Click on the "USB Connected" and click Mount. This will make the phone SD Card available for use with computer
Copy the required files
Files you will need:
Download the latest release of CyanogenMod for the Nexus One and the Google Addon from here Mirror1 Mirror2 Mirror3 Mirror4 Mirror5 Mirror6 Copy these two to your SD Card
Download the latest release of Amon_Ra's Nexus One Recovery Image from - Leave the recovery.img on your pc
Rename Amon_Ra's recovery file "Recovery.img", and make sure you have copied the above two zip files to the root of your SD Card.
Power off your phone.
Boot into Bootloader Mode.
Hold down the trackball, and press the power button. Do not let go of the trackball until the phone boots into bootloader mode (You will see a white screen with three skating bugdroids).
Unlock the Bootloader.
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC.
On your PC, navigate to the AndroidSDK\tools folder.
Hold down the Shift key, Right click on an empty space inside the folder, and press "Open command window here". (note: on Windows XP, this might not work. Instead, you may need to open the command window by going to Start - Run - Type "cmd" - press Enter, then type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" (without the quotes), press Enter)
Inside the command prompt that opens up, type in the following command:
fastboot oem unlock
On your phone, a prompt will open up, asking you if you are sure you want to unlock your bootloader, and again warning you that doing so will void your warranty. If you agree to these terms, press Volume Up to select Yes, and then press the Power button to confirm.
Your phone will restart. Let the phone boot into Android. Switch the phone back to usb debugging (unlocking bootloader causes a wipe, reseting settings), and then Power Off the phone.
Once again, boot into bootloader mode.
Flash Recovery.
Note: The Recovery.img should NOT be on the SD Card, it should be in the current working directory.
On the command prompt you opened earlier, type in the following command:
fastboot flash recovery Recovery.img
The recovery image should now be installed on your Nexus One.

But i'm lost. I downloaded all the necessary files so far but i'm confused up to this point:
Boot into Bootloader Mode.
Hold down the trackball, and press the power button. Do not let go of the trackball until the phone boots into bootloader mode (You will see a white screen with three skating bugdroids).
Unlock the Bootloader.
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC.
On your PC, navigate to the AndroidSDK\tools folder.
Hold down the Shift key, Right click on an empty space inside the folder, and press "Open command window here". (note: on Windows XP, this might not work. Instead, you may need to open the command window by going to Start - Run - Type "cmd" - press Enter, then type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" (without the quotes), press Enter)

I'm on a Mac so i dunno if that makes a difference to how i approach this. but when i power my phone down and boot it into bootloader mode, i can't access the phone on the computer because the phone isn't mounted, its at the white screen. how can i access this androidSDK/tools folder?

Broken screen, need to retrieve files off phone! help please

My screen first cracked and then the LCD completely went now... I have files I need to retrieve off the phone. It is rooted and running some ICS build... I believe the phone is in USB debugging mode, the screen still 'works' I can unlock the phone but nothing is displayed on the screen. Possibly someone could help me out with the adb process for pulling the contents off the /sd
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated, thank you for your time.

ur usb mass storage should still work. can u just plug ur phone to a usb port and get things off the phone ?

As previously stated. I believe the phone was in USB debugging mode. And now the screen is completely black... impossible to navigate to where i need to be.

You'll need adb setup on your computer, and you'll need to cd your way into the folder with adb.exe. Forgive me for hotlinking, but this will make it easier: Download this file, courtesy of NexusSHacks.com (I believe it is Zedomax around here). I would advise to unzip the contents in this file to your C:\Nexus directory, so that adb.exe is at C:\Nexus\adb.exe.
Now, plug in your phone. Open your start menu and search for "cmd" and open up Command Prompt. This is the basic Windows CLI (Command Line Interface).
First, you'll need to open the directory of the Nexus folder you created earlier. To do this, type in the command prompt:
Code:
cd C:\Nexus
Now, you want to make sure adb sees your phone:
Code:
adb devices
The adb service should start and if it sees your phone it will pop up a serial number. If there is no serial number, you can't use adb while inside android and you'll need to tick the option or find an alternative way. Assuming it finds your device, you are good to go.
In order to copy the /sdcard folder of your Nexus S, you will use the pull command. We will throw all of the files into C:\Nexus\sdcard, for reference. So in the command prompt, type:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard .\sdcard
It looks a little confusing but don't stress. Just make sure you type it in exactly (dot, correct slash, etc). This will take a little while since it might transfer up to ~15GB worth. You'll see a new line with "C:\Nexus>" with a flashing cursor when it is done. Then you can view all the contents of your sdcard at C:\Nexus\sdcard and do with them as you please.
Also note, for this you'll need up to ~15GB of free space on your C:\ partition, make sure you have this before you start. Good luck

old post I know, but I just dropped my Samsung Captivate (rooted with debugging on) and internal screen cracked (gorilla glass is perfectly fine!), so I am in the same boat. After DAYS... actually DAYS of trying everything from every forum I FOUND A FIX!!!
Now admittedly, I am unsure which of these two (or both) fixed the issue, but here is what I did:
via Google Play's online "shop", I installed "Auto Mount Your SD Card" by JRTStudio (admittingly, unsure if this did anything as I cannot verify if it installed or anything via the phone)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5qcnRzdHVkaW8uYXV0b21vdW50Il0.
then I DL'ed MoboRobo and after a few frustrated phone reboots, usb cable connections and much cursing IT CONNECTED!
http://www.moborobo.com/
I am currently DLing all my files from my broken phone!
I had to pass this along as I said... NOBODY seems to know about this as it has taken me DAYS to do this! Not even ATT (Current carrier) nor Spring (whom I am switching to in a month or so) could help me!

You save my life with that "moborobo". Thank you very much.

Glad I could help!!!

Thanks went to both of u, quit important piece of knowledge.
One question; r u downloading "moborobo" on ur Android, on your pc or on both of them?

just on PC, not needed on the phone unless you want to go via WiFi

What do you mean by this?
My adb service doesn't detect my phone, I used Droidzone's tutorial. I believe usb debugging needs to be on for adb to work, which in my case is useless cause my screen is broken so can't turn on usb debugging.

Reboot to recovery. Bam, working ADB. You can navigate there pretty easily. Pull battery, then re-insert. VOL + & PWR, two click on VOL -, PWR button once. You're in recovery now.

QtADB also can be used is this case

That's a little tough. I'm using a Galaxy S so I'm following instructions for that, but it's hard to know if I'm in recovery mode or not. Since adb doesn't detect the device, it's hard to know whether the phone went into recovery mode, or whether adb is setup correctly. It would be handy for a voice sample to play "recovery mode" once the phone boots into it.

You're in the wrong forum, then.
And whether or not adb is installed properly, you would know in your device manager under Windows. Appears as a device.

Ok... Galaxy S i9000 stuff goes in the Galaxy S i9000 forum.... that's probably why my other post got deleted! :laugh:
As for adb... it appears as a process in task manager, so it's running - I know that much. It's not appearing as a device in device manager (why would it if it's a process? or are you referring to my phone appearing as a device?)
Only areas I can think of that aren't correct are the environment variable and the way I'm doing recovery mode. Since I can't see the screen, I don't know which one is causing the issue! :crying:

This happened to me as well. You have to make sure that your phone has its sdcard folder mounted. Type "adb shell" to get access to the phones command terminal. Then type in "mount /sdcard" I think, or maybe it was "mount sdcard". Either way will probably work so long as you are in the root directory of the phone. You can navigate around in the phone just like a normal linux terminal. "ls" shows list of files and folders in the current directory, "cd foldername" moves into a folder, "cd ../" moves back, "cd /" goes to root directory, etc. Anyhow, once you have mounted the sdcard, you can type exit to leave the shell terminal, and then issue the command "adb pull /sdcard .\sdcard" to get the files. I had a custom rom image in the root of my sdcard so the move took quite a while ~15 minutes. On success of the pull command you should see a bunch of statuses like:
pull: sdcard/data/somefile -> .\sdcard/data/somefile
pull: sdcard/DCIM/somefile -> .\sdcard/DCIM/somefile
.
.
.
XXXX files pulled. 0 files skipped
(Some more transmission stats)
Hope it works out for who ever reads this.
Side note:
On my phone the screen was smashed. I replaced it and it still would not turn on, but it was still running. I had a rooted phone with CM10 rom on it. ADB debugging was one (if its off your pretty much screwed). I started up the phone, and plugged in the usb cable. I tried to use both adb and fastboot from windows terminal. "fastboot devices" would echo back nothing, and "adb devices" would echo back my phone's device number but state it was offline. So to get it online I did the following:
1.) pull batttery.
2.) boot into bootloader (hold power and volume up) the phone shouldn't vibrate if it does you have just normally powered it on. It took me quite a few times to get this to go into the bootloader. To make sure you get in the bootloader type "fastboot devices". If nothing comes up you not there.
3.) once verified you are in the bootloader you need to go into recover mode. Press volume down twice and then hit power (this would normally move the cursor on your phone down to recovery and select it if you could see whats happening on the screen).
4.) wait a bit for it to load into recovery, try typing "adb devices". You should eventually see you device show up as online. At this point you may enter the shell as above, mount the sdcard, exit the shell and pull your files.
Windows instuctions:
Prerequisites are installing adb.exe and fastboot.exe via installing the Android SDK on your computer. They will show up in the platform-tools folder of the install location. Add that folder to your environmental path variable so you can run the ADB and fastboot commands from any folder. Install the ADB driver for your phone (allows you to issue adb commands to your phone when USB is plugged in) by plugging in your phone and going to device manager, find your phone which should show up as a exclamation point, right click update driver, click "browse...", then "let me pick...", click top entry something like "show all", and then let the list populate. On the left look for "samsung" and then select the first one that is something like "samsung adb driver interface". And you should be good to go.
Sorry for the long winded post, I just like to try and explain as much as possible.

Successfully Recoverd data
Well My Samsung S2's Screen broke down few days ago.. Now i have retrieved the data by following the 2nd method in the following article..! I Hope this works for you aswell...
I can not Post the link here.. PM me if you want the link...!

Bricked after JB update

I don't know if i can call it bricked but its stuck on the google logo. I can press volume up and power and get into fastboot (i believe thats that its called).
Is there anything i can do or send it to Samsung?
I have no problem with rooting it if thats my only option.
Edit: when i try to go to recovery from fast boot i get the animation you get when its updating. After about 15 seconds it shows the android on its back with an exclamation.

Ok, you'll need a Windows computer to fix this. Linux should work too but if you're using Linux I guess you could figure out what would be the instructions for Linux yourself. Mac would work too but I don't know how.
Download and install the Android SDK on your computer from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Open the SDK Manager (there should be a shortcut in your start menu) and install "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Google USB Driver" (it's in Extra).
Turn your phone off, take the battery out, look at the bottom of the phone and write down the model number.
Now go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and download the factory image for your model for version 4.0.4.
You'll need something like 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open it.
Copy image-so....zip, radio-crespo...img and bootloader-crespo...img from the factory image to the platform-tools directory (on most computers it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools and you'll need Administrator rights).
Now open the platform-tools directory from the Android SDK and right click on an empty space while holding the SHIFT button and select "Open command prompt here".
Put the battery back in your phone and press Power while holding the Volume-Up button so it will boot into fastboot mode. Then connect it to your pc.
If Windows starts complaining about drivers then point it your SDK installation directory (include subfolders) or use 7-Zip to unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?5a7gou9droidi53 and point Windows to the directory where you unpacked it. More info on http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/97061-driver-install-device-manager.html
When you type "fastboot devices" and press Enter in the command prompt you opened before it should list one device (being your phone).
If you haven't unlocked your phone before type "fastboot oem unlock" and press Enter. Follow the instructions on the screen on your phone to complete the unlock.
Next type "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter. (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, IF THIS GOES WRONG YOUR PHONE IS SCREWED. Don't continue if another step didn't succeed. If this works, then you can do anything with it.)
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot flash radio radio-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot -w update image-....zip" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next download http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img and also put it in the platform-tools directory.
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Now use the volume keys on your phone to navigate to the word Recovery and press the Power button to boot into recovery.
You're now in CWM Recovery, use the volume keys and the power button to go to Mounts & Storage > Mount USB Storage (you might have to scroll down). Now it will come up on your pc and you can transfer the update file for Jelly Bean to your phone. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27965168&postcount=1 (use the one for your model for IMM76D).
Unmount the usb storage, go back to the main menu and go to Install Zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard and open the update file you just transferred to your phone.
You can now go back to the main menu and choose "reboot system now". It will ask you if you want to remove the auto recovery installation, do that.
That's all, you now have a clean and working Jelly Bean installation.

Did you even read his problem and what he has already tried?

Check to see if fastboot is seeing your device. Enter the command fastboot devices. It should give you your serial number in the command prompt.

Had the same problem at first.
I just wiped and reflashed and worked like a charm

And did the unlock procedure show up on your phone?
Also, does fastboot say it's unlocked now? (example: http://miui-germany.de/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/nexus-s-bootloader.png LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED)

yea it showed up on the phone. i did volume up to yes and then pressed power. It reboots. And gives error on CMD.
Also lockstate is still locked.

Try using this tool: http://www.redmondpie.com/unlock-bo...d-nexus-7-with-all-in-one-nexus-root-toolkit/
I was unrooted and everything after I flashed a Jelly Bean rom and it seemed like nothin i did could get me CWM back so I used that tool and it pretty much did it automatically. It has an arsenal of commands that could work for you hopefully, good luck

That means we can't use fastboot because the bootloader is still locked. And we can't use adb because we can't boot into Android. I guess that the partition table is f*cked up.
It's possible that you can use ODIN and download mode to fix it but I'm not sure. Because the Nexus has fastboot I barely use ODIN, I hope somebody who's familiar with ODIN and with what it does reads this and helps you.
Be careful with ODIN though, now I know what your problem is I would consider going to a Samsung service center. You didn't root or unlock it so they can't blame you for doing something wrong or voiding the warranty. Just tell them this happened after the OTA update and don't tell them you did it manually.

It does the same as the guide above, only sends fastboot commands so it wouldn't help.

Fastboot succesfully sent the command so that's not the problem.

I think wiping wouldn't work because fastboot on the phone failed to wipe the data partition...

I don't think we have download mode do we? If we do and he can find a pit file he will be golden.

It did happen after the OTA update. I did not do anything manually. It showed up yesterday saying theres an update available.

Ok, the problem/solution doesn't change. If you would have done it manually you would have flashed it in recovery but the automatic update process does the same (it instructs the recovery to auto flash it on reboot).

Ok, you'll need a Windows computer to fix this. Linux should work too but if you're using Linux I guess you could figure out what would be the instructions for Linux yourself. Mac would work too but I don't know how.
You're now in CWM Recovery, use the volume keys and the power button to go to Mounts & Storage > Mount USB Storage (you might have to scroll down). Now it will come up on your pc and you can transfer the update file for Jelly Bean to your phone. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27965168&postcount=1 (use the one for your model for IMM76D).

Okay i got to the step where i would mount USB storage from CWM.
But when i choose it i get the message "E: Unable to write to ums lunfile )No such file or directory)"
You think there might be something wrong with the USB storage? Hardware issue?

Download and install the Android SDK on your computer from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Open the SDK Manager (there should be a shortcut in your start menu) and install "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Google USB Driver" (it's in Extra).
Turn your phone off, take the battery out, look at the bottom of the phone and write down the model number.
Now go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and download the factory image for your model for version 4.0.4.
You'll need something like 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open it.
Copy image-so....zip, radio-crespo...img and bootloader-crespo...img from the factory image to the platform-tools directory (on most computers it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools and you'll need Administrator rights).
Now open the platform-tools directory from the Android SDK and right click on an empty space while holding the SHIFT button and select "Open command prompt here".
Put the battery back in your phone and press Power while holding the Volume-Up button so it will boot into fastboot mode. Then connect it to your pc.
If Windows starts complaining about drivers then point it your SDK installation directory (include subfolders) or use 7-Zip to unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?5a7gou9droidi53 and point Windows to the directory where you unpacked it. More info on http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/97061-driver-install-device-manager.html
When you type "fastboot devices" and press Enter in the command prompt you opened before it should list one device (being your phone).
If you haven't unlocked your phone before type "fastboot oem unlock" and press Enter. Follow the instructions on the screen on your phone to complete the unlock.
Next type "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter. (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, IF THIS GOES WRONG YOUR PHONE IS SCREWED. Don't continue if another step didn't succeed. If this works, then you can do anything with it.)
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot flash radio radio-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot -w update image-....zip" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next download http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img and also put it in the platform-tools directory.
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Now use the volume keys on your phone to navigate to the word Recovery and press the Power button to boot into recovery.
You're now in CWM Recovery, use the volume keys and the power button to go to Mounts & Storage > Mount USB Storage (you might have to scroll down). Now it will come up on your pc and you can transfer the update file for Jelly Bean to your phone. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27965168&postcount=1 (use the one for your model for IMM76D).
Unmount the usb storage, go back to the main menu and go to Install Zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard and open the update file you just transferred to your phone.
You can now go back to the main menu and choose "reboot system now". It will ask you if you want to remove the auto recovery installation, do that.
That's all, you now have a clean and working Jelly Bean installation.
Someone else wrote down the same instructions if mine are not clear enough: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785672

[Q] Phone stuck in setup wizard

Hello, I recently updated from CWM 10.1 to CWM 10.2, but didn't like it and after a full wipe flashed CWM 10.1 with Teamwin recovery to my phone. Then I saw I forgot to flash gapps, so i downloaded them with goomanager and flashed them again. After I did this my phone keeps popping the messages "Installation wizard has stopped working" and "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working". I can't get to the menu or settings.
I tried to boot into recovery by holding down volume down and the power button, but this doesn't seem to work. I also tried several programs which allow booting into recovery or hboot, but they don't seem to detect my phone. I still can put files onto my sd-card.
Does anyone know what I could do in this situation to get into recovery again?
I really appreciate the time you put into giving an answer or reading this question.

do this
power on the device normally and connect it to pc
go to adb and fastboot folder and open there a command window and do
adb
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
edit did you remove the battery(then reinsert it) first before holding power button and volume down?

I did remove the battery, but also tried it by shutting down and then booting into recovery.
I did the following:
-Downloaded ABD and Fastboot and put in on the Sd-card of my phone
-Then I ran the CMD file
-Typed adb and adb devices
-After typing adb reboot bootloader it said the device was not found
The phone was in usb storage mode when I did the above actions.

actually you aren't putting nothing in your sdcard
adb and fastboot files must be on c:android folder on your pc
do this on your pc
create a folder in c and name it as Android
put in that folder these three files
fastboot
adb
AdbWinApi.dll
connect your device in to pc and open in that foder the cmd window

I never used abd and fastboot, so I misunderstood the proper way to use the files.
The problem is solved at last I managed to boot into recovery and flash my rom again.
Many thanks for your help!
