I come from the world of Windows Mobile and have just recetly delved into hacking my G1. While I've had no problems installing jesusfreke's images or themes...I'm struggling with how to get fastboot to work.
Perhaps someone can give me some guidance. Anyone willing to give me some simple step by step instructions. I've searched for this and i think I have everything i need, but I'm unable to get to a point where I can type in commands. when i try to run adb, it open very briefly and closes.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jason
Go to start -> run -> type in CMD
Navigate to the folder where adb is located.
Then type in adb devices to see if it finds ur device.
If not then make sure you have it plugged in and USB debugging is turned on in the phones settings under Development.
Also download the usb drivers/or the whole SDK if you havent yet.

If you try to execute a text mode executable in windows, it will close the terminal window as soon as the program finishes. If you run adb without any arguments, it will print the arguments out terminate. I could say the solution is to open run as and type cmd, but the true answer is to install Linux

1. Download this
2. Extract the contents of the fastboot directory to the root of your C drive.
3. Go Start -> Run -> type 'cmd' (no quotes) and hit enter
4. Type 'c:' (no quotes) and hit enter
5. With your phone plugged in, you should be able to type 'adb devices' and it should return your phones serial number, which is usually in HTXXXXXXXX format. If it does not, make sure debugging is enabled on your phone and you have the adb drivers installed.
6. type 'adb shell reboot bootloader' and hit enter. The screen on your phone will go blank for a second and then you should be in the SPL with the skating androids. Make sure you see "FASTBOOT" at the bottom of the screen.
7. type 'fastboot devices' and hit enter. If you see your phone's serial number again, you have successfully established a fastboot connection with the phone and can run commands such as:
fastboot erase <partition> (erases the given partition)
fastboot flash <partition> <file.img> (overwrites and flashes given partition with given file. This is how one would restore from a nandroid backup)
fastboot reboot (reboots the device into user mode)
Hope that helps. Have fun

First, the command is adb devices not adp. Second, make sure you copied the contents of the fastboot directory to the C drive. Third, make sure you that when you type 'c:' into the command line, the command prompt actually changes to "C:\>"

i did all the above steps with no problem at all till i got to number 7. when i typed in fastboot devices it just goes to the next prompt without my phone showing up.
If i plug in my g1 in normal mode i see it at the top under adb and in the usb section as a mass storage device.
In bootloader mode with fastboot on the screen it doesnt show up anywhere in the device manager.
Also when i follow the above quoted steps and type in the "adb shell reboot bootloader" and hit enter i hear the ding you hear when you unplug a usb device, and all instances of the phone then leave the device manager.
i have also uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers for the phone and all drivers that have to do with the usb ports on my win xp machine.
Anyone have any ideas i could try?
I think you need this program. I put it on my desktop, then just ran cmd, directed to it, and type in fastboot.

thats not it. i have that in the sys 32 folder and also on desktop
Fastboot mode not recognized
I'm having the same problem. I've installed all the correct drivers and in normal mode, I see the Android Composite Device (or something similar) in Device Manager.
As soon as I go into SPL mode (the 3 skateboarding androids screen), the device does not show up.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

When I'm in the Command Prompt and I type C:, the directory still reads C:\Documents and Setting\Reids. It won't change to only C:
Hi,
You have to do this to get back to c:
cd\
press enter
That should do it.

Ok, thanks a lot. Got it working now.
I need help trying to flash my cupcake images that I have stored in my fastboot folder. I attached the pictures below. I will accept any help I can get.
EDIT: Doh, I thought I was in another topic.
My bad.
Are adb & adb's dll files located inside the same folder as fastboot??? They are suppose too be.
Is your usb cord directly plugged into your system or thru a hub??
Your phone, i bet is under usb mass....to check, expand your device manager window.
Expand your USB-Mass storage list.
With your phone in fastboot mode, click on the camera key and the back key. With enough time inbetween for your system to recognize that there might be a device hooked up.
Notice any change in the list??

this seems like the most easiest thing to do but i still cant get it to work
i have downloaded everything needed and see ADB Interface on my device manager with a yellow mark on it when i try to update the dirver it fails and i got the drivers and point them to it but seems not to work
my phone is on the fastboot screen with the android skateboards guys
i dont know whats going on if someone know what am also doing wrong can tell me please...
This is what i get
Hi everyone,
I have looked everywhere on google and have been at this for over 5 hours now. I have tried rooting my phone from 3 different PCs (XP SP3, SP2 and 7). With all of them i have managed to get the drivers for adb installed (after many problems) and got all the way to the fastboot part of the rooting.
Once i get there, i have the same problem on all 3 PCs. ADB can no longer find my phone! Following the instructions, i checked for the device before i powered it off and found it by doing abd devices in cmd prompt. The moment the device is powered off and then back on, bam! No more device!
I am at my wits end at this point and just don't know what else I could possibly do! I would be immensely grateful for ANY advice.
I did check that my device allowed USB debug so that's not it either.
Also, my phone is a Rogers phone and I have just put through the upgrade they sent this morning.
adb cant find your phone in fastboot mode but fastboot can
Try writing fastboot devices instead of adb devices
All the comands in fastboot mode start with fastboot...e.g fastboot flash xxx xxx.img
I ran into this problem as well on my attempt, I forgot to re-enable (or enable) depending on where I was at "usb debugging" which is in:
settings> applications > development > check the usb debugging box.
After that, when you do abd devices in your shell, it should surely list after that. Good luck!
edit-- woops scratch that.. sorry I just read back that you made sure of that.
Thank you for that!
Now, i see it in fastboot, but when i try typing fastboot boot recovery.img i get a "cannot load recovery.img"
Sorry, apparently i need a lot more hand holding than i though!
(this is where I am getting the instructions from HowardForums. I'd post the link but I can't do that yet on this forum...
Basically, these are the instructions i am following:
If the phone you have is an HTC Magic (no hardware keyboard), the method is pretty much the same. I modified Haykuro's zip with files that were meant for the Magic. You can grab it here:
*link*
Again, open another command prompt as steps 2, and 6-8 are entered in the command prompt.

2. fastboot boot recovery.img

3. apply update. (LET IT FINISH, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL YOUR PHONE IS COMPLETELY IDLE. DO NOT TOUCH AFTER FIRST REBOOT (WHEN CHIP APPEARS) UNLESS YOU LIKE A BRICK. )
4. reboot out of recovery mode.
5. power off phone, hold back button and power to boot into fastboot again
6. fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. fastboot reboot
enjoy!
These are pretty much the Haykuro instructions for the Dream, which I modified to apply to the Magic. The boot and recovery images were made by Amon_RA. Happy Rooting!
Just like with the Dream, the first part flashes a good SPL, the second flashes a rooted boot and recovery. The easiest way to test if the device is rooted is to open another command prompt in the tools dir and type
Code:
adb root
If it returns that adb is already running in root, then you're all set.

Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks so much!
You need to navigate to the folder where you saved your recovery.img
For example if you put it on d:/Android dev. you will need to do (inside cmd)
d: (switches to drive d
cd d:/Android dev. (changes the folder to android dev.)
and then issue the fastboot command
without the brackets of course...

Again, thank you so much! It seems I am still having issues as now I'm being told that "remote not allow".... is this a rogers thing?
Again i do apologize for all the hand-holding necessary here
yes, i am getting this <remote:not allow> message too. I was able to fix my other magic (purchased in october) via fastboot boot recovery.img but not this new one i have (purchased in Dec).
Anyone have any ideas how to bypass this block of 'remote, not allowed"?
fast boot will not run for some reason, anyhelp to get fast boot to run would be awesome
What error does it give? Did you turn off PDANet?
ive tried everything it just doesnt come up i double click it but it pops up and goes away then some times if i go to open by right clicking it it says the .dll file is gone but i got it sitting next to it
ok fastboot is what is used in CMD. ur fastboot.exe is located in the sdk folder then in tools. so what u will need to do is navigate to ur sdk folder in command and find fastboot. then fastboot (whatever commands)
Right... Use fastboot from the command line. Go to the directory fastboot is in with windows explorer hold shift and right click. Select open command prompt here. Type fastboot.
the newest Superuser-3.0.7_mod-signed can root it
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.

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.

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).

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.

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

I have the same problem with my Samsung Nexus I9020T but it automatically come even i don't update the phone. my phone is original OS Loaded by Company
I can See Lock Status - UNLOCKED in Fastboot Mode.
When I turned on the phone The same screen will appears.
I Reached till Step 20 Successfully but when i try to Enter The "Recovery" Mode, When i try to do Step 21 it'll Stuck on Google Logo On Middle and a "UnLock icon" on Bottom.
Please Help me ASAP.
My Android phone (Motorola Edge) can no longer start properly after a failed system update. The message I get is: "Cannot load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device."
I've tried restarting it in recovery mode which didn't work. I've read that I may be able to install some software via USB and rescue the system but I have no idea how that's done. I've looked at some different rescue software such as Rescue and Smart Assistant (which would only let me rescue the phone which will erase all data) and Dr.Fone but the reviews aren't convincing and the unofficial software programs generally don't support Motorola phones. Does anyone know how to fix my phone without losing my data?? Any help is much appreciated.
Also; I'm in no way a developer so I need everything explained to me like I'm 12 years old.
hi, kid welcome to xda.
now about your problem, it is very simple.
1) download latest firmware according to your country.
2) boot the phone into recovery mode.
3) if you have windows on pc then install minimal adb and fast boot from this Link
4) connect your phone to pc using adb cable ( the cable in charger )
5)open command prompt type adb devices
6) if you see any thing like 213547448882 recovery ( recovery should be displayed)
7) type adb reboot bootloader
secondly unzip the downloaded firmware you will see many files with .img extension
8) type fastboot erase system
9) type fastboot flash system <----- here don't type system rather drag and drop file in cmd for location of file
10) if result is success then you must boot normally without data lose.

Thank you so much for your input. Unfortunately I can't make it work. When I type 'adb devices', I get this text:
List of devices attached
ZY227HQ2BX sideload
I've attached more info. Not sure if this has something to do with "USB debugging"?
all things right,
that sideload appears because you have stock recovery {no need to worry}
you don't need to erase system, (it is like optional)
and the error ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT....... is because as i said earlier you have to copy the path of the file not file name.
how to copy path of the file ?
well, simple on windows, open the folder in which system file is present. and again open command prompt type (remember to be in fastboot mode in mobile phone)
fastboot flash {drag and drop system file from folder to command prompt}.
it should look like (but not the same, it is an example)
fastboot flash E:/newfolder/nexus/files/system.img
tell me if you face any problem (also include screenshots like you did, great right?)
What file is the system file in this folder?

Hi again, I've spent all weekend trying to figure it out but so far no luck.
I don't know where to find the system file in the folder I downloader (see attached photo in my reply above this). I also tried making a service-batfile with guidance from YouTube but it seems my phone is locked so it doesn't work.
well sorry i was quite busy so i was not able to reply.
first thing first do you need your data
if so boot into twrp. find twrp image for your phone then use command in fastbootmode
fastboot boot and drag and drop twrp file.
after successfully booting into twrp use option to backup and backup your data in any external storage like sd card.
after that run flash all.bat inside your downloaded folder.
i will completely wipe and reinstall your firmware.
then after it again in fastboot mode boot into twrp and restore your backup that's it.

What about your original suggestions - will they not work on a locked device? Fx this:
now about your problem, it is very simple.
1) download latest firmware according to your country.
2) boot the phone into recovery mode.
3) if you have windows on pc then install minimal adb and fast boot from this Link
4) connect your phone to pc using adb cable ( the cable in charger )
