Access ADB without Debug mode?

Is there a way I can use ADB without setting debug mode on my phone? I am unable to startup the phone to switch to debug mode. When I start up the phone it goes to the google logo screen and stops there.
I am able to go into fastboot mode however. I have adb installed and all the drivers set.
I can see the phone in my device manager, but when I open up cmd prompt and type in adb devices it says it does not see anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ADB is only for when the phone is booted up. In your case you will need to work with fastboot

What are you trying to use ADB to do? You can run ADB in recovery, but if you are unable to startup the phone, I don't know anything you could do with ADB to fix it.

Yes as stated all I can do is go into the fastboot screen. It sounds like that I cannot use adb in fastboot?
What options do I have to recover data in fastboot if i do not have adb?
Thanks.

I wanted to use ADB to extract some files on the sandisk internal hd. I cannot boot up the phone anymore but it still turns on (but freezes at the google logo).
I also cannot go into recovery as when I try it also stalls at the google logo screen.

Yes. Adb will Not work in fastboot. Fastboot flash commands will work.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, flash a new recovery image and do a nandroid backup
Sent from my Nexus S 4G

If recovery doesn't work u have 2 options from fastboot to try to get into recovery:
1) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2) fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
All u need is a cwr recovery image. And the files on ur PC to use fastboot.
1) flashes a new recovery
2) just boots up the new recovery without flashing it

my understanding is that i need the have the device visible in command prompt via adb to do any of this which is the issue i'm trying to solve. once i can get my computer to see the phone via adb i think i'm home free to extract all the data i need.

Another interesting note (i don't know if this will help me at all) is that if I boot up into download mode (holding both vol buttons when plugging in the usb cord) it gets stuck at the "unlock bootloader?" screen but in windows under the device manager instead of showing it as an android device with adb it is now under the usb controllers as "samsung usb composite device".
If I could get this thing to mount to my computer that would be fantastic and I could just drag and drop files out of the phone.
Any ideas?

If you flash clockwork recovery, you can boot into recovery and then use cwm to mount USB storage.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

If I flash clockwork I need to unlock the bootloader, if I unlock the bootloader I have to wipe all my data.
So by nature of getting clockwork on the phone is useless to me since i'll have no data to backup by that stage =/

I do have access to fastboot now and is recognized via command prompt; is there a way to extract data via fastboot?

[Q] Nexus S w/ CM 7.1.0 (no load & no recovery)

Can anyone help me with this Ive got a Nexus S, with the latest stable vers. of Cyanogen (update-cm-7.1.0-NS-signed) and ClockworkMod as the recovery image. Was working great then all of a sudden the phone will not load past the "Google" unlocked padlock image OR go into recovery mode. I can get into the bootloader alright (vol+ key & power button) and it confirms that the phone's still "UNLOCKED". All I get, on the screen, when I try to get into ClockworkMod is "Google" and the unlocked padlock image.
Can't even get into the SD card when I hook the phone up to my PC. Tried flashing CWM says that its sent and written but still wont load.
Any ideas how I can at least get into recovery mode? Once i'm in, in theory (if there's nothing terminal, hardware-wise) I can wipe the phone, mount the sd card, put a fresh vers. of CyanogenMod on it and start again.

Wrong section.

Soooooo moved.
Obligatory YOU MORON BLAH BLAH RABBLE RABBLE!!!!
....
Seriously though, what version of the Nexus S do you have? Just want to rule out any ID10T erros first. Second what CMW did you flash via fastboot? Thridly what was your fastboot command?

How did you root it?
You just need to use fastboot to flash CWM & a new rom
Example for the rom:
fastboot update ROMFILENAME.ZIP -w

Edit: There, got you the Cyanogenmod page. It's a step by step guide. Skip the bootloader unlocking section. Do all the rest.

Do you have a working adb setup on your computer?
Put your device in fastboot mode ( VOL up + power button)
Make sure it's properly connected and interfacing with adb (you can type "adb devices" and you should see your device in the list)
If you don't see any string of characters after typing adb devices, then you don't have a working adb setup. You need either a standalone adb or the android SDK.

Alright. Try to flash CWM recovery first, as stated in the Cyanogenmod guide. Then once that's done, boot back into CWM and flash CM7.

Did that and it says that everything goes through, move down to recovery and it just loops the "google" padlock screen

Ah okay, maybe a corrupted boot.img
Download the full 2.3.6 rom for your model
i9020a
i9020t/i9023
You can get the model in fastboot mode at the top if you're unsure of which you own.
Extract the ZIP contents and grab hold of boot.img. Flash this boot.img using fastboot
Example: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done, reboot to fastboot and flash CWM. Then from CWM flash superuser and whichever ROM you want.

Nothings working. flashed the boot then CWM still cant get into recovery. Just right back to the "google" page

I am not sure if this works on the nexus s but give it a try.
Instead of flashing the recovery try and boot it. Change the command to fastboot boot recovery .....instead of flash.

This post specifically helped me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19531979&postcount=30
just rename the file "install-recovery.sh" which is in the /etc folder. You can only access it with a root file manager (rootexplorer $4 on the market)
make sure your new file is not ending with .sh
It appears that this file keeps writing stock recovery to your phone. Once you erase it, flash CWM recovery and then flash your rom. Hope it helps.

Nice catch. Didn't even think about it getting rewritten every boot.

By BL u mean bootloader? My stock bootloader is 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. I tried to dl the twrp.blob from the twrp website with -4.2 and try to use the terminal emulator thingy but it still boot into CWM based Recovery.
However, I just bought the ROM Toolbox Pro in Google Play and use the 'Flash Recovery' but it search my whole tablet and returns nothing while i have already copy and paste the twrp.blob into the/sdcard/

I plan to root it into a custom rom but ended up installing cwm which I later found out to be incompatible with my device. This is because I thought that everyone need to undergo these three process (root>install recovery>install rom) now I'm trying to remove or replace this cwm with a twrp then I can start installing my custom rom. I have already root my tablet with supersu (kingo). Did I do anything wrong on my steps above? If yes, please enlighten me. Thanks
anyway, what's a super user binary?

Fastboot utility is very sensitive to connection type. It can refuse to work on some laptops and usb ports on front pannel of desktop PC. Also do not use usb hub or tablet dock with fastboot. And if Windows device manager shows tablet as something like "asus bootloader interface" or "asus fastboot interface" (don't remember exact name) is probably shouldn't be a driver issue.

Did You know that to use fastboot tablet should be loaded in fastboot mode? If You connect it in fastboot mode and Windows shows no recognised fastboot or bootloader interface You need a proper driver.

So, you suggest that i need to use a different pc to do the fastboot thing? What are the drivers do i need to install? Where can i download it? Maybe my wind8 64bit professional got some flaw/bug. Thanks for helping. Will try it out when i get back home.

[Q] I guess I messed up pretty bad.

Hey there. I hate to bother everyone, i really do, but after searching countless forums, and trying infinite solutions, i'm at a loss of what to do. I want to flash to stock rom, I'm on paranoid android at the moment. Now normally this wouldn't be an issue- but somehow, someway, my bootloader is locked, and i cannot get it to unlock again at all. i've tried doing it with the OPO tool, tried through cmd, nothing. all that happens upon running fastboot oem unlock is my device boots into recovery (philz). i have no idea what to do, but it's really bumming me out. My model is the 64gb one.
also as a side problem, i originally tried flashing THIS ROM, and ever since then my fastboot is in the chinese version. I couldn't flash to stock before hand because it kept telling me my fastboot was outdated. how can i fix this as well?
i really, really, REALLY appreciate any help i can get. i always surf for hours on forums trying to resolve the problem myself before making a new thread, but i have no other options now.

You did mess up pretty bad (by posting in the wrong section).

my sincerest apologies. i haven't actually used XDA in a while. give me a little bit though, upon trying again, apparently my abd isn't working right and isn't recognized as an internal command.
update: those threads always result in telling me to do this which is what i'm trying to do right now, though i've tried before and still tend to get a straight boot into recovery.

Sounds like you are not in the correct directory to run adb.
Try this:
cd (location of adb.exe)
example:
cd C:\android\platform-tools\
Then try to run this command with your device plugged in:
adb.exe devices

i'm in the right directory. i'm following this guide and i'm at the part where it tells me to type "fastboot oem unlock" it then tells me to do a fastboot reboot after that script finishes running which is where the problem comes in. the phone reboots into recovery IMMEDIATELY after inputting the oem unlock command, not giving me the chance to do anything else.

Do you have a custom recovery? If you do, your bootloader is unlocked.
Just sideload a XNPH38R.zip, Calkulin's one, or the official. Then try to use fastboot once more.
My guess is that this fixes your problem and that fastboot will work again.
P.S. Even if you haven't been on XDA for a while how in God's name would you post in "Original Android Development"...?

**** i didn't even realize i was in original. my bad wow. Yeah i have philz right now. do i need to wipe everything to do this. i'm scared of wiping because if i do, since i can't flash anything, i'll be stuck without a rom at all. i'm downloading the official zip, and i'm about to try sideloading it.
edit: sideload failed. might be because i didn't wipe. error in /tmp/update.zip (status 7). it suggested i do a factory reset, tried that, still same error.

Have you tried flashing the stock rom with the stock recovery through the custom recovery and then trying to re-unlock the bootloader?

Try this:
cd C:\Users\(username)\Desktop\SDK\platform-tools\
Also, did you extract the files out of the zip file?

Install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
So you can get the adb and fastboot from anywhere on the command line, then open the command prompt and navigate to that folder and copy line by line from the above tutorial.
The last line will require the original ZIP file to be in the same folder has the extracted files.
Hope this helps.

Please Help Me. Xiaomi 12x. Bricked Phone after trying to root. Stuck in fastboot bootloop.

Hello.
I've followed instructions as in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-psyche-root-xiaomi-12x-with-magisk.4455293/
only 1 thing I did wrong is downloading 13.02 boot.img file instead of 13.04 boot.img which wasn't available at that time.
After I flashed phone was stuck in Recovery mode bootloop, then for some reason it just got stuck in normal bootloop.
after that I downloaded 13.04 boot.img which was for my version, patched it on another phone in magisk, repeated instructions and now it's stuck in fastboot bootloop.
I also want to mention that I don't have external SD card so I was using boot.img directly from my pc.
Please help me.
There was solution to use Mi Phone Assistant but program doesn't detect my phone.
Edit: I'm green in these kind of termins so want to mention that it doesn't constant rebooting, just everytime I try to boot it goes into fastboot.

If phone is ADB enabled try this
1. Connect Windows desktop computer with phone via USB cable what came with phone
2. In Windows Command prompt run command sequence
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot
to exit phone into NORMAL boot ( i.e. system mode -> ANDROID OS)

When in fastboot adb devices didn't find any devices

Looks like USB Debugging isn't got successfully enabled on phone.

Does it mean that phone is forever bricked? Can you throw me some words of hope please.

it is not forever bricked. you just messed up with the boot image. try the troubleshooting steps from the link you ve posted with a different cable. or a different usb. or a different pc. the app should detect the phone at some point.

Tried on different PC, didn't work. I doubt it's USB cable because it's original and I unlocked bootloader with it before. I'm desperate...
Edit: I think it's because of software that my phone doesn't get detected, https://prnt.sc/G232WPcRRqC1 mi unlock tool does detect it although only in fastboot mode, not recovery.
edit2: mi pc suite detects my phone in Fastboot mode but writes this... https://prnt.sc/4dB06CtvIfhz

can you enter in recovery mode ? when you enter in recovery mode, what options do you have ?

Hey, just download the Fastboot ROM for your device, extract the boot.img from there and place it in the platform-tools folder.
Then open CMD inside the platform-tools folder and execute the below command to flash the stock boot.img file [assuming you are in the Fastboot Mode]:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You may then boot to the OS via the below command
Code:
fastboot reboot

Sidenote: To avoid such scenarios in the near future, please refrain from directly flashing the boot.img. Rather first temporary boot via
Code:
fastboot boot magisk_patched_boot.img
And then use the Direct Install feature of Magisk for permanent root

https://prnt.sc/Oyjs9lxGVFX8 It's same as in this picture, not my phone tho. I didn't try erase data because I think it will disable USB debugging and I chose to wait for answers on forums.

Hey, thanks for help, I want to clarify 2 things:
1.
Hey, just download the Fastboot ROM for your device, extract the boot.img from there and place it in the platform-tools folder.
Then open CMD inside the platform-tools folder and execute the below command to flash the stock boot.img file [assuming you are in the Fastboot Mode]:
Do I do it with stock boot.img or I should patch it?
2. Isn't that the same as instructions I linked in thread post?

flash the stock image first. after you get a fully fuctional phone attempt the rooting guide. as in, booting the phone as normal, be relieved that you did not hard brick it. then try again, and follow every step of the way.

I just did it and situation is same, it enters bootloops in fastboot... I just remembered one thing and don't know how important it is but maybe makes a difference.
If I recall correctly, when I first flashed patched.img, the installation process wrote sending boot_b but after that it always said sending boot_a
like in this screenshot https://prnt.sc/t931it_cCodT .
Maybe it is root of problems?
I also want to mention a little detail that I rememeber.
When I was checking MIUI updates on site, the release was Stable BETA but only recovery was available, although now fastboot is available too, it's just Stable - without Beta, Perhaps my ROM was Stable Beta and not stable? It's 13.04 GLOBAL.

well, it does have importance. newer devices have 2 partition for booting. while older have only 1.
try this
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot reboot

Oh, I forgot to mention that you should only download the same version of Fastboot ROM that was installed on your device. And then flash the stock boot.img from that ROM to both slots using the commands given by @Fytdyh

Tried still same... maybe it's something with vbmeta.img?

or if your inactive partition is still non-corrupted [fingers crossed] then you could try booting it via that slot. For that, change the active partition via
Code:
fastboot set_active other
and then
Code:
fastboot reboot

I downloaded same. :|.
I don't mind using another ROM if it will fix my issues, is it even possible to install from situation like this?
