Hello,
I was attempting to clean out (format) everything on my phone and start over with a fresh ROM, and it looks like I went a bit overboard. Now I'm stuck at the bootloader, but it appears to be frozen. When it loads, I get:
Code:
FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG
PRODUCT NAME - HERRING
HW VERSION - REV 11
BOOTLOADER VERSION - 19020XXLC2
BASEBAND VERSION - 19020XXKI1
CARRIER INFO - TMB
SERIAL NUMBER - (REDACTED)
LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED
The menu appears as well, but I am unable to change the current selection, or perform a selection. (My power button stopped functioning a couple months ago).
Occasionally when I unplug the usb cable I'll see a quick message "USB Control Init USB Control Init End" and it restarts the bootloader. FASTBOOT MODE then just appears empty, and I still cannot access the menu items.
ADB was working before, but now 2 separate computers cannot detect it using "adb devices". I hadn't tried 'fastboot devices' beforehand, but it doesn't detect the phone now.
I tried installing a couple different drivers (Google's, PDANet), and using Wugfresh NRT, but could never connect.
So how's it look, doc? Will it live? Or should I bury it?
Thanks!

As long as the bootloader isn't deleted there's a good chance.
I think you have deleted the OS and the recovery :silly:
When you are in the bootloader, only fastboot commands work.
Type "fastboot devices" to check the connection
Or "fastboot help"

I had to force the "Google Nexus BootLoader Interface" driver onto the system (win 8.1)
I know it says Acer, but it is my Nexus S

When fastboot.exe can see your device you can flash a recovery image.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
You should now be able to start the recovery and use the adb commands.
Hope some of this can help
Thanks for the response! I wasn't sure if I would even get a reply, as the board appears to be rather quiet.

Yeah, I'm afraid I did. I got a little overly aggressive in my data purge

Sadly, therein lies my problem. I haven't been able to get fastboot to recognize my device, at all

I tried the driver install listed, and I assume it successfuly installed, though I'm not sure how I'd check. but I'm still having the same problem. neither fastboot nor adb recognize the device (though as you said, adb wouldn't at this stage either way).
It doesn't appear that it's even showing up in the device manager (using Windows 7 x64). No search for drivers, no unrecognized device, nothing
I'm afraid it means that my phone is actually freezing during the bootloader loading, since the computer does not appear to recognize it and I can't navigate its menu.
Is there anything I'm forgetting? I may try booting into a Linux live image, to see if windows is just ignoring due to some driver issue. Will follow up with those results.
Thanks again!
I suggest removing all drivers. Each and every trace of it to be removed. Then install the Google USB drivers.
You can also get drivers from Windows Update...

Bootloop
Hi there, i was on cm7, than i found this rom "Desire XS version 1.1" and I decided to install it, after aroma installation, I rebooted it and now i'm in bootloop and i can't access to hboot, what should I do?
Hi, I assume you are s-on with unlock bootloader? If yes, then enter fastboot(if my memory serves me right, hold vol down and power on). The instructions can be found here. I assume u have already wipe/format and flash the rom, so the next thing to do is flash the boot.img in fastboot, found in the link, step 4.
Thank you for your reply, but i think that i can't access to fastboot

pull the battery out for a min then put back in, u should be able to boot into bootloader then select fastboot in the menu
Got an update :
Both of the suggestions didn't work, so i've tried to connect my phone to a PC and tried to use adb to access into fastboot mode, once I've got into fastboot I've tried to install the stock firmware through ruu, but I get an error : USB error

the ruu wont work coz ur bootloader is "unlocked". u need to relock it then run the ruu. and yes windows 8 is a problem with fastboot, theres a few guides here on xda how to use fastboot with windows 8. so either find a way to get fastboot working then flash custom rom in recovery then flash the boot.img via fastboot or relock the bootloader (ul need fastboot commands working for that too) and then run ur ruu. either way, get fastboot working first.

thank you for your support guys, i'll try this in the afternoon =).
I wanted to thank you so much guys, thank you for your help and kindess, i've finally installed the original sense rom =).
Have a good day!
I am in need of some assistance. Been trying to update to a new version of Android. However i keep receiving failed to update messages. So i figured i would wipe the phone clean. I went to recovery (PhilZ Touch 6) and took the option to wipe everyhting (Clean to install a New ROM). However i am encountering some problems. The phone is now stuck at "Warning bootloader unlocked". So i cant really 'access' my phone. I tried sideloading a .zip firmware via PhilZ mod, but the problem is that my device does not show up as connected.
What can i do?`I've killed the adb server and restarted it several times, restarted phone and computer several times, without any luck. Whenever i go in to fastboot mode and insert the USB cable, it still says "Connect USB data cable".
Help would be very much appreciated .
Hi
Well if you're trying to update from a stock firmware or a rom based on stock it will always show an error because you modified a system file, in this case you changed your recovery, so it wont let you update.
The phone is stuck because you erased the OS so now you have to flash again the stock firmware via fastboot or flash twrp recovery and then copy a rom from your PC to the phone.
Try to flash your stock back using Odin.
And this time use proper methods to root, flast ROMs and kernels and unlocking the boot loader.
The problems generally arise when you ignore the procedure.
Soory for the bad language. Hope it has helped you
The problem is though i cannot get the computer/phone to recognize that the other one exists. No matter what I do it says Connect USB data cable, even though its connected. Which means i cannot get the device to show up in the CMD menu.
If you boot into a Linux Live CD (for example, Ubuntu) fastboot / adb will work - provided the problem is not your cable.
Whenever i'm in the bootloader menu, when i look at my device manager on the PC, it says Fastboot Falcon S "the drivers for this device are not installed". but i'm unable to install them because windows cant find them.
Also, no problem with the cable since it works for other phones and devices.
Another problem i have noticed is that i cannot turn the phone off. It just restarts sitting at the "Warning bootloader unlocked screen".

I cannot copy anything to the phone, because it does not show up on my computer.
When i have the phone connected via the USB cable and running PhilZ Touch 6, my device manager shows XT1032 and a yellow exclamation mark on it. When i go to properties, it says "drivers for this device are not installed".
I had the same issue with philz but using twrp the mtp mode works fine
How can i install twrp instead?
Download the twrp. Img file and flash it using fastboot
The thing is though, how do i flash ANYTHING, when i cannot even get my device and computer to recognize eachother? the adb devices command returns nothing, just blank space under "List of devices attached". Since there is no OS i cannot enable USB-debugging. So i'm kind of stuck in a catch 22 it seems.
are you using motorola fastboot to flash? or just adb .exe?
Ive tried using regular fastboot and mfastboot nothing works
Can you post a screenshot of the phone in fastboot mode and fasboot console?
---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------
Have you tried reinstalling the Motorola drivers?
Yes i've already tried reinstalling the motorola device drivers.
Here is a screenshot of the fastboot mode

This is how it looks with USB cable plugged in

If you type "fastboot devices" instead of adb does it shows the same?
If your usb cable is working fine then maybe you could try using another PC
This is what happens when i use the fastboot command

The common solutions are:
(i) Try a different usb cable
(ii) Reinstall Motorola Drivers
(iii) Load a linux live CD on PC / Laptop - Drivers are not required then
(iv) Try another PC / Laptop
(v) Install a newer version of Windows
I) Tried several USB cables
II)Tried reinstalling the motorola drivers
III)This i dont know how to do, is there a link with perhaps a tutorial or a guide?
IV)If all else fails i guess i'll have to try this, just a bit difficult to get access to another computer
V)already have windows 10
Hello,
I was given this TF300T to check if I can fix it (it was really bad soft brick with data partition not being mounted by TWRP and giving on boot that it is encrypted).
I tried flashing stock and after stock ROM was flashed (followed the guide I found here) rebooted as per the guide.
Since then the tablet is in a boot loop, I can't turn in off completely and upon trying to restart it while holding volume down I still get into the boot loop. With volume up, it vibrates one and then "connects" to my computer as an unknown device.
If anyone has any idea on how to fix it, please respond. All help is welcomed.

if if vibrates, it's not a TF300T... because the TF300 doesn't have vibration...

Well, based on the kernel, and what it did say in the TWRP recovery before I tried flashing stock it is TF300T. And after checking online, the model for Bulgaria does have a vibration motor.
How the question is how can I force it to boot into fastboot mode.

Before the bootloop starts again hold "Volume" down and you will get into fastboot mode.
After that you may do a Buster99: (1) Unrecoverable bootloader error but not Bricked! | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
BTW, if you cannot get into fastboot mode, please, dowload "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and try ADB.

So I tried that, but it still doesn't get me into fastboot mode. I also tried it with the reset switch and it still gets into the bootloop and nothing connects to the pc. However is I hold the volume up button, the display goes black and it does connect, but my pc doesn't recognize the device and can't find drivers. When I do the volume up it connects as an "APX Device"

In this mode it is still not seen either from ADB or Fastboot (tied both with Google Platform Tools ADB and Fastboot and with minimal ADB and Fastboot).
Seems there is a driver problem. Hopefully you will get it. So you may try the attached driver.

That was helpful, the tablet is now connected in APX mode. I tried finding the NVFlash tool for the TF300T, but it is dead and APX mode itself doesn't let you use adb or fastboot commands

I just bought my lenovo tab p11 and i decided to do a manual update through lenovo smart rescue assistant because my device has an old firmware and can't OTA update. The thing is, i forgot to do OEM unlock on my device although i did do USB debugging. I have successfully install the updated firmware on my device but i am stuck on fastboot mode which i can't select anything even if i select any of the option it keeps on booting to fastboot mode. The only option working is the Power off option. How do i fix this? Please help
You can try to reset tablet to Normal mode ( means boot into Android OS ) running
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot

Hi! Thanks for replying, i'm new to this kind of thing but do i need to EDL mode my device before doing this? also i tried the adb thing but i the list for devices is empty although my device is connected to my pc.
Make sure your device is NOT connected as a media device ( means in MTP mode ).
Turn on USB debugging

Don't connect your device to PC. Press same time volume up+ volume down + power for seconds and your device will reboot.
Use a linux distribution, install fastboot and try:
fastboot set_active a

Hello,
I have a problem with my mobile, I cant access into the phone and I want to flash a new ROM and also flash TWRP. I have a few problem which really don't allowed me do something.
+ I don't have an access to phone to set USB debugging or something else.
+ I cant flash a new TWRP through ODIN 3, because there is OEM lock.
+ I cant use Samsung Smart Switch and "Emergency software recovery" method, because "This model does not support firmware upgrades and initialization".
+ I cant flash stock firmware because ODIN 3 stuck in a half of process (in part "SUPER" when is flashing).
+ I cant use SP Flash Tool because there appears "Please select one ROM at least before execution." and I don't have an scatter file for Exynos 9 9810 which is inside N770F.
+ I cant use ADB and fastboot because, when I try to type "adb reboot fastboot", the phone approach restart, type "Entering fastboot" and nothing else, stop and stuck it on this text, and nothing happened.
Could you please help with this problem. I don't care about stock or custom firmware if will be flash to phone.
Thank you so much.
You should use Odin, at least version 3.14.4.
Restart to fastboot on this model:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
NO I Cant as I already wrote, when I try reboot to bootloader phone stuck in "Entering fastboot" and nothing happened next....

What do you think should be happening? Because I do not know.
Exactly Entering fastboot... means that you are in fastboot mode, which you can check by executing the command fastboot devices.
Exit this mode by long pressing [Vol -] + [Power]
I saw some threads that it is not right, and also I thought that when I type command "fastboot devices" also nothing happened means appears "waiting for any device" but nothing else. So what can I do after it for flashing please?
