You use fastboot command from bootloader.

im not good at this, what do you mean?
When you boot the phone using vol down + power it boots to the bootloader ( a screen with some info about your device and a menu) this is where you enter fastboot commands or run .bat files.
Your phone should indicate whether or not you phone is connected via USB in the upper part of the screen.

You mean, you can't get into Recovery mode? Because Bootloader mode IS the "fastboot" mode..
You can go into Recovery mode, by turning the phone off, then holding the Power button & the Vol Down at the same time.
Then use the volume buttons to scroll to "Recovery" and press Power button to select.
If your Recovery is working as it should, it will take you there..
If not, you can reflash a stock Recovery or Custom Recovery..

a buddy of mine bought a nexus s off of craigslist that is constantly force closing when you boot it. it will force close everything then reboot itself. im attempting to unlock the bootloader but adb devices doesnt show the serial number like it does for my nexus s. when i hold down volume up+down and plug in the usb it goes to the unlock bootloader screen but it doesnt give you the option of yes or no. iv posted a picture to show what it looks like. i cant get the phone into download to try to fix it with odin either. any help would be appreciated.
edit: i finally got my pc to recognize it and we now have an unlocked bootloader, but now iv encountered another problem. i downloaded a recovery image and moved it to the tools folder of sdk when i type in the fastboot flash recovery command it responds with error: cannot load recovery.img.
To unlock bootloader, you have to use fastboot, not adb. So the correct command would be fastboot devices
To boot into the bootloader, you have to press volume up + power, not volume up+down and plug in the usb -- that would bring you into the Download Mode instead

i know, i used adb devices to see if my computer would even recognize the phone. i i can get into fastboot mode by pressing volume up and power but cant send a fastboot command to the phone because it doesnt recognize the phone. when i hold down volume up and down to get into download mode it sends me to the screen i showed in the pic. its the unlock bootloader screen except there is no option to click yes to unlock the bootloader. i would love to get into download mode and use odin hence why i pressed vol up and down and plugged in usb, but like i said it sends me to the unlock bootloader screen.

Before you try to unlock the bootloader I would flash the latest stock rom and see if it boots properly.

Try one of these recovery images:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686
The full command is
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(make sure your recovery image file is actually named recovery.img)
If 'fastboot devices' returns your phone's id you can flash a custom recovery. Otherwise get a full _signed_ stock rom and flash from stock recovery.
Did you install all drivers? Deinstall existing and use either pdanet or sdk build in program to get them. You need like 3 different ones.
Try locking unlocking bootloader again.
There's always the chance you got a defective usb connector.

Firstly, the power button has gone faulty on my Nexus S and I am due to send it back to Samsung for repairs, so I want to get it back to factory image 4.0.4 IMM76D using the Google image and to relock the bootloader. However, when I reboot into fastboot all the keys stop working and I presume it has stopped responding and the only way to reboot is to do a battery pull. Just wondering if anyone has had this experience before and knows a solution.
By keys you mean volume and power right?
Does a computer recognize it with fastboot. Example . Fastboot devices / fastboot reboot etc?

Volume and power keys don't work while in fastboot and it isn't recognised by that. And when it powers on regularly it say No boot or recovery img. Nope, doesn't get recognised by PC and just says No devices found...
Did it work before in the same system?
Only other thing I could think of to try is download mode/Odin
It was working fine that day. I even flashed CWM on it after trying TWRP. But then suddenly the power button broke, and when I used the key combo to get into fastboot mode using the plug in to charger method it loaded fastboot and just wouldn't respond
Hello guys. I just got my N5 and ofc rooted it , unlocked bootloader. Then when I booted it into recovery mode ( CWM recovery) I did factory reset as ussually. Then I realised that all my files on card were deleted os I couldnt even flash CM. I tried to pull off the battery. Right now phone does not want to boot into fasboot mode or normal boot. But it can be seen via pc. Is there any way to fix it? I am sure in 99% that this is a problem of deleted software not hardware. Right now its coneted to pc and the screen is on ( but it does not show anything. just pure black).

Connect the phone to the pc and type in cmd: adb devices (should see a serial number), if so type: adb reboot bootloader. Do you get into bootloader mode then? BTW did you format data or data factory reset?

if it doesn't boot on fastboot or recovery and you said that your phone's display is on.. in what mode is it?? well if you can go into fastboot simply download the original system and flash it.. After you will boot your phone and connect it to the pc and flash recovery etc etc :good:

I did factory reset. Tried to write in cmd adb devicies but it says that it doesnt know what it means. Maybe i need to download some kind of software to use adb?

good. flash stock images or boot into custom recovery (you can flash it) and sideload a rom or push a rom (see sticky threads in general section)

Okay right now I am in fastboot mode and installed sdk manager. In folder sdk/platform-tools I enabled cmd with shift + right click. Run adb devicies and it said "daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037
daemon started successfully
list of devices attached".
And when i run it once again it says only "List of devicies attached".

Hi all.When i turn on my phone in fastboot mode,it only tries to reinstall the firmware update to b180 version. I have tried to solve the problem by deleting the dload folder but nothing changes and i am forced to reboot anytime. So i have no chance to unlock the bootloader and root my phone. Is there a way to fix such problem? Thanx in advance for the attention.
Then you are not in fastboot mode but in Recovery Mode.
In Fastboot mode B 180 is not installed but in recovery mode
In Fastboot mode, you can only unlock the bootloader and IMG Files flash
Boot your Mate 8 normal or can you Power off?

hi, I hope I'm in the right place to get help with my issue. my Ace is in a reboot loop that i can't seem to get it out of. i have tried force rebooting and lt will not enter into recovery mode so that each time i would hit recovery mode the screen goes blank for a few seconds then the moto logo (M powered by Android) screen comes on with vibration for six seconds then again to blank repeating this loop until i again hold power and volume down buttons. I do have a lot of apps installed but this phone has a whole lot of memory that came with it. I am hoping this forum may have some ideas to help me rectify this issue. thank you.
While connected to a pc, enter the fastboot - w command. This will erase the internal memory and your phone should be able to boot.

thank you for responding. I connected my phone to my laptop but it does not detect it. my phone has, highlighted in red, AP fastboot flash mode (secure). also, tools mode: Disabled, and OEM locked
If you can reboot to recovery, try a factory reset.

thats the problem I"m having is getting into the recovery. I hold the volume down and the power buttons down till I can see the options recovery mode, but when I click on it by pushing on the power button, that's when it goes into the loop mode and never goes into recovery.
Use the Lenovo tool to download and flash the stock rom which includes a recovery.

I did what you adviced and I was instructed to enable debugging or fastboot mode in order to be able to rescue. But if I was able to do either one of those that means I wouldn't need help booting up. follow what I'm saying? because I would have to get into the settings to enable debugging or fastboot mode, somthing I can't do because my phone will not boot up.
To enable fastboot moode, hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time. This should put you in the right place. You should get red text that says you are in fastboot mode. If not, go to https://t.me/motoblankflash and ask for help.
