Fastboot not working anymore?

Hi all.
I went to update my Recovery today to a new TWRP.
I have not had problems in the past.
When I boot into fastboot it just says "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol".
The drivers are properly installed and made sure under device manager.
Any idea's guys?
When I type fastboot devices I don't get anything.
Thanks for the help!

Also tried in Ubuntu still no luck >_<

Let's talk about ubuntu a minute since fastboot worked before. It appears no one else has said fastboot worked earlier.
Are you running ubuntu on a different computer?
Same computer through virtualbox or something similar?
Same computer different drive or partition?
Try " adb devices " before you reply and include that info as well.
I should have also asked if fastboot previously worked on ubuntu?

the problem is not the computer itself, the real problem is that the tablet doesn't get in fastboot mode...

Thank you for the update.

I'm not the author of this process, but apparently it works.
I haven't tried, because I use terminal emulator for my adb command

I decided to automate the process of entering commands. Post

no way, i can't get it to fastboot damn it

ok i solved the problem just now...
1-reboot the tablet in bootloader while connected to usb
2-use vol down to navigate to the usb mode and then vol up
3-the tablet won't show nothing but actually it is connected
4-proceed to any fastboot command
hope this helps

I had this issue when I first started flashing stuff (although I was flashing CWM not TWRP)
In my experience, if you don't see anything listed in fastboot devices, it doesn't matter because it still flashes.
Just try using the flash command (fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash blah blah blah.blah) and see if it works.
You -should- be able to see your device in "adb devices", and that's really what matters.
Also, what matt95 said is exactly what I do. Whether it shows anything or not, I just flash my stuff. Works fine, but I also don't use fastboot alot because with the new changes to the bootloader, one can flash stock through CWM now without having to fastboot flash it.

I'm having the same problem here with fast boot. I want to run NV Flash so I can update to the JB bootloader for CM updates. I've tried simple commands like reboot and nothing works. Any other thoughts?

I'm in the same wagon as all you guys, I just tried that and I can't get into fastboot still. Still waiting for device
---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------
I'm sorted now, I didn't realise that we needed a different command
I was using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-jb-touch.img
instead of the correct method of using
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery-jb-touch.img
This worked perfectly

it's same as this:
== Part 3 - Install recovery and rooting ==
Let's start with installing the recovery
1) Download these 2 files:
- Jellybean recovery with fastboot files: Fastboot files + JB recovery
- Root files => Root files
- You can also download the new CWM Touch recovery if you don't like TWRP: CWM Touch recovery thread or TWRP recovery and download this file : openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-tf300t-JB.blob
2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)
3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader
4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.
5) To flash the recovery type:
- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob
6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.
Now we will root the tablet
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.
9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system
10) Install Supersu from Google Play
11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.
12) Now your tablet should be rooted

[Q] Nexus 5 power button doesn't work anymore

Hi everybody,
So, there is my problem, I bought the nexus 5 in November. I rooted it.
And the last wednesday, while using my phone, the power button decided to not respond anymore.
The phone still worked but two days ago the batery became empty and now I can just go in the "bootloader menu" and the "download mode".
Google accepted to replace my phone, but I really want to save my files. And like you certainly know we can't save our files with the phone Off.
But my phone is detected in this two modes.
I installed the nexus driver but I still can't open my files.
I pretty sure there is a way to save my files, I searching and trying but nothing work, I would open my phone if I can activate the power button manually but I don't know how.
If you have any solution, I'll take it.
Per-haps the ADB can help me ? But I don't know how to use it.
Thanks a lot for reading.
Have a good day !
Ps : I'm new here please be gentle if I don't understand directly
And sorry for my poor english.

Hoping you have enabled the usb debugging you can indeed backup through adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51694433&postcount=2
Can you enter into recovery mode from the bootloader menu?

You can use a fastboot command to boot into recovery: fastboot boot path/to/TWRP.img if you have TWRP Recovery.
Then you will be able use to use adb commands to backup your data.

Hmm, Have I to start eclipse ? Where can I find the "sdk platform" ?
I found a folder who have that name but nothing happens when I run the exe files.
And in eclipse nothing had that name.
Edit : Sorry I did'nt understand before. I'm trying your command in this folder, but it say me that there is no such files in this directory. Could you explain me ?
Edit 2 : Okay I have to read better i guess, I don't have TWRP, I'm downloading it, could you just explain me a little how does it work ?
Edit 3 : With the command "adb devices" I can't see my phone :/ Have I to surrender ?

1. First off, you have to install and set up adb & fastboot on your PC. Here is a great tutorial: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
However you can use this tool instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
2. To boot into recovery mode from bootloader, connect your phone to PC then enter this command into cmd:
fastboot devices (check if your N5 is connected otherwise)
fastboot boot path/to/TWRP.img (you can download the latest TWRP img from this website)

With the two methods, no devices are found. But when I try with an other phone, nothing is dected too (debug mod enabled).
I tried to remove driver and update with all sources but nothing apparently work per-haps my debug mode is disabled ? ...
Edit :
Okay fastboot device detected my phone !
The guaranty will stop if I use the second command ?
And last thing, where I need to put the img ?
Thanks a lot I looking at the end of that problem *o*

Nope because you only BOOT and not FLASH TWRP.img. Actually I say TWRP because I have this recovery but I think you can use this command with the stock recovery. You just have to use recovery.img file from the factory images instead of TWRP.img.

Did you rename the downloaded file to "TWRP.img"? The file name must be the same into your command prompt.
Copy TWRP.img into your platform-tools folder then open a command prompt from this folder and enter: fastboot boot TWRP.img
The path is the directory of your file you want to use. If you open the command prompt from the folder you have TWRP.img (platform-tools) then you don't need to mention the path.

I think the bootloader needs to be unlocked first for "fastboot boot twrp.img" to work? Isn't it? If unlocking wasn't necessary, everyone would've just booted recoveries to root their phones. (so that the sdcard doesn't get erased).
I sincerely doubt that the OP has an unlocked bootloader.

Actually I never tried fastboot boot command on a locked bootloader. If it requires an unlocked bootloader and OP has a locked one I have no idea to recover his data.

(Ps : For the people who'll have the same problem, you have to use your charger with you're computer and keep pressing the volume down while putting the charger in the phone to go in boot menu, but be carfully, you can't shutdown after that only solution, remove batery !)

Reinstall Pixel OS

Hi
I have a Pixel that currently has no OS on it at all. I can only get into the bootloader with no way of factory restoring the phone. Usually I would use ADB to reinstall the factory image from the Pixel image Google provides but with no way of activating USB Debugging, I'm unable to do this.
How can i get the normal factory image back onto the phone?
Thanks

I can't, ADB doesn't recognise there's a phone plugged in when I'm in the bootloader
Usually I'd navigate to the platform tools folder, "adb devices" to check its there, then i'd unlock the bootloader using "fastboot flashing unlock", then i'd go on to "flash-all.sh"
But because there's no OS so USB debugging isn't on the terminal doesn't recognise the phone is plugged in

adb devices only works when phone is booted into the OS. You need to use fastboot if the phone is in the bootloader. Try fastboot devices instead and see if it recognizes it.

- Download and extract platform-tools to your desktop (for adb and fastboot functions) here http://https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
- Download the current release on Razers website here http://https://s3.amazonaws.com/cheryl-factory-images/cheryl-p-release-7083-user-full.zip or for a list of releases https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/. Unzip, and copy the boot.img to your phones internal storage.
-Download and install Magisk Manager on your device. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
-open Magisk Manager, and select install, and when prompted, select "select and patch a file". Choose the boot.img you put in your internal storage.
-Once patching is finished (the patched image will be in the same location as the original image), move the patched boot.img from your phone to your platform-tools folder (will be labeled "magisk_patched.img").
-right-click within the platform-tools folder and select "open powershell window here" or "open cmd prompt here".
-IF USING CMD:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
-IF USING POWERSHELL:
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
. Your device should restart and boot into the bootloader.
-next, flash the patched boot image to BOTH slots,
-IF USING CMD:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
and then
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
-IF USING POWERSHELL:
Code:
./fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
and then
Code:
./fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
-Finally, restart your device and verify Magisk is installed via the Magisk Manager app, and that WiFi is working.
NOTE Keep the original boot.img because it can be flashed the same way to revert to stock.

Thanks for this, I had been waiting on a method to root the latest update and this looks like it. Will try it when I get a chance.

Working 100%, thanks again.

You need to edit out vbmeta.img / vbmeta_system.img to actually disable verification. Change the byte at offset 123 from 0x00 to 0x03.
Another way is to use the following command when flashing vbmeta. You may need to use a relatively newer version of fastboot binary to get it work.
Code:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img

This is fastboot. Does your device show up in "fastboot devices"? Make sure you have an up-to-date fastboot binary for the purpose.
For modern Linux distros you should already have the rules necessary. If not, try run fastboot commands using sudo or as root and see if the device would appear.
On the other hand, I noted that in some cases the fastboot interface may have problems responding. In that case, reboot bootloader, then run your fastboot flash commands as soon as the device restarts.

Install RSA from Lenovo.
Following the instruction to rescue your unit as well as getting boot.img for patching
Moreover, install latest Android Platform Tools
Copy boot.img to your unit and patch with Magisk, and copy the patched_boot.img back to host PC.
Then reboot in fastbootd (adb reboot fastboot) and flash patched_boot.img

Open Windows terminal, connect tablet to PC with adb/fastboot drivers installed.
Enter command:
fastboot set_active other
and again:
fastboot set_active other
then:
fastboot reboot
It might help.
