Hello! Yesterday I was putting a custom recovery on my LG p500, and as I am a noob in phones and everything else I fcked up something, and now i have the ''fastboot mode started'' screen. Now, on this http://www.androidpure.com/unbrick-lg-p500-stuck-at-fastboot-mode-due-to-bad-recovery-flash/ page, i have downloaded all the things listed there.
Now, my computer recognizes the phone, it doesn't open the ''removable disk F'' as it has always, but it says it is recognized.
WHen i downloaded Android SDK, on the page they say I should have a directory on disk C, but I DONT KNOW HOW TO INSTALL ANDROID SDK!! When i click on SDK manager it just opens a window similiar to cmd prompt, and then the window close after some seconds.. Please help me!!
Also, on that link there is the cmd program open and he says what to write to unbrick it, but I don't understand anything about it!! Please someone help me I am mad!!!
Instead of messing with the entire Android SDK, which isn't needed BTW, why not use Android Flash Recovery to install another recovery? Link for Android Flash Recovery ( AFR ) is in my signature. It's just a simple UI for the fastboot executable from the Android SDK. No command windows to deal with and nothing to type. Point and click...
As per you problem with the SDK, Android can't find your Java installation. Did you install Java 6 or 7 SDK as well?

Sorry to sound pig ignorant about phones but I am ... my expertise is in PCs. So anyway I want to upgrade the Hero with CyanogenMod.
I backed up my contacts, apps, etc and rooted the phone with unrevoked ... lost everything in memory in the process, but that's OK -- the important stuff is backed up.
Rebooted into stock 21. ROM and skipped all the new user stuff ...
OK, here's where I'm lost ... to load the CyanogenMod ROM I apparently need something like Amon-RA, but to load Amon-RA image file I need to install the SDK pack.
So I downloaded the SDK pack, but it is nothing like what is described in all the install SDK posts I've been able to find. What I have found are instructions about running ASroot and other files that don't exist in the SDK version I have.
So like what do I do now, more important ... is there an A to B thread for doing this mod starting from a stock phone, going to unlocking, than loading SDK, than installing Amon-RA (or equivalent) and than installing CyanogenMOD.
I know all this info is out there, but it seems like most of the files I've found don't interface well in the sense that the ones that talk about doing step one aren't terribly relevant to ones that talk about step 2, etc.
Thanks
Yes. Its a sticky at the top of the page. Search "guides" lol...

All you need to do with the sdk is download it and extract it. I just put it in the root of my C: drive. Then open a cmd prompt in windows by going to Start > Run > cmd (press enter). Then in the command prompt you need to change directories to the sdk folder you extracted. For example, mine is in C:\android-sdk-windows. I just type "cd c:\android-sdk-windows" then "cd tools" to get into the directory where you can run the adb program. Make sure your phone is in debugging mode by going to settings > applications > development > check the USB Debugging box. Then you can hook the phone up to the usb and run the command "adb devices". If everything is working correctly then you should see a device serial number show up. If that doesn't work make sure you have the htc drivers installed by downloading htc sync from their website and installing it.
Once adb can see the phone then you should run the command "adb shell" and then when you get a $ prompt type su in order to elevate to root. Make sure you put a recovery image on the phones sd card using step 4 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 I think he has a link to download the recovery in that guide but just in case here is a direct download link for the recovery: http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img Feel free to rename it to recovery.img so that the commands in the guide can be used as is.
Now you should be able to start at step nine from the guide in that thread (you should be in an adb shell when you start). It should be the adb command to flash a recovery image. Once you do that installing roms is as simple as putting them on your sd card and booting into recovery to select the flash option.
how do u root with z4root with out being able in install any 3rd party apps
!!
please help!!!!
Do alittle more research on the whole root process. 2.2 is a little weird but instructions are out there. I would not use any app to root Basically you need to find the right zip and install that with the button recovery.
Also don't expect an immediate response. Just because no one respond in 5 minutes does not mean they won't

I had to use a side loading app to get z4root installed on my phone and then rooted it from there.
Google "captivate side loading" and you should be able to find the app you need the name escapes me at the moment.

Sideload Wonder Machine from Android Central worked great for me.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/and...40770-ac-sideload-wonder-machine-windows.html
Watch this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFHLVF1aA0Q
If you can get an app to load and work on your machine to side load the apps you are ready to go. If not, i.e. Vista 64bit is an issue for DroidExplorer, you can use simple adb commands.
Like the video says... assuming you have the SDK and drivers installed. This is also assuming a computer running windows, if you are running Linux well... if you are running Linux you should be able to translate
1. Open a command prompt
2. change directories to the platform-tools directory where ever you installed the 3. SDK. i.e. C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
4. Turn usb debuging On via the phone Settings->Applications->Development and check Usb debuging
5. connect your phone to the PC with the usb cable
6. type adb devices
If you then see something like this you are ok to continue, if not you need to figure out what is wrong with either your SDK install or your driver install
List of devices attached
100049b90495 device
7. type adb install <location of your z4root.apk file> i.e. adb install c:\apks\z4root.apk
8. You will see adb copy the file and install to the phone. (If it fails start reading more in the dev section here. All the answers are there)
9. Disconnect your phone and open up z4Root on the phone and root it.
That should help. All of the steps above and A LOT more are in the dev section here, as posted above search and read and ye shall have all the fun you want.

Follow the rooting guide on youtube from mobiletechvideo(?), he has a bunch of videos, one is how to flash cognition based rom onto your phone (but the first step is rooting, so you could skip the rest if you didn't want to flash a rom).
Hope it helps

It appears (and this has been verified by multiple installs by myself and people on #android and #android-dev on freenode) that fastboot has been removed from the R14 release of the Android SDK.
Does anyone know how to get fastboot via another method so I can unlock the boot loader of my Nexus S (my platform is Windows 7 SP1 X64)?
Thank you in advance.
I think I found the answer to my own question:
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r13-windows.zip
I don't think it's been a part of the Android SDK, at least for a while. I've always had to manually download the binary.
It can also be made in your build environment. Command: make fastboot. It will create the binary.
where to put that command? thx
Here's fastboot.exe: http://www.mediafire.com/?wrgw1erxw71o77a

You have to place it in the same folder containing adb.exe (platform-tools for the last sdk).

You need to have AndroidSDK installed or atleast have fastboot executable.
Once you have that, you can either set the path in environment variables or just go to that path using command line and use the fastboot command.
You should follow this instruction, it's very helpful.

But that is for the 4G version, is the same thing?
I just rooted my first Android device the day before yesterday. One problem I ran into is that the Android SDK now installs to "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk" instead of "C:\android-sdk" like most instructions give.
These are the instructions I followed to root my phone: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_S:_Full_Update_Guide (Sorry for the lack of a link. I just found out I'm not able to post links because I'm new )
They helped me out a lot but it took a lot of time and concentration to get it done. Just keep in mind where Android SDK installs and change the paths to the new path when you need to.

More details needed to figure out what your problem is. What OS are you using on your PC? Right now, it sounds like your ADB drivers aren't working correctly. Can you post a screenshot of your cmd commands? At the upload server screen, you should try the command "adb devices" on your pc. If that does not return a serial number, your PC is not communicating with your tab. Likely cause: bad ADB drivers. You can certainly copy the folder to your SD card, but make sure you have permission to do so with your explorer.

They're the same in Linux, but you've gotta to have those ADB drivers in there too. Are you using the 64-bit version? When you say the pc recognized the device, does it return a serial number when you query "adb devices"? If it does, you don't need Ubuntu. If the problem persists, then issue of compatibility with Win 8.
Hi,
I am using this thread since my question is about NVflash
I am new to custom roms/fw on TF300T. I have latest Android 4.2.1 and bootloader (10.6.1.27.5) and it's still locked.
Do I have to do anything else than unlock my bootloader with app provided by ASUS before starting this NVflash procedure? Is root access required?
Do I need specific drivers for Win7 32-bit? I am familiar with ADB/Fastboot..
Thanks for advance!
