[SOLVED][Q] adb recognizes the phone but fastboot not - HTC Sensation

hi, I know there are lots of threads like this on forums, but they made no sense for me.
adb does recognize my sensation but fastboot doesn't.
when I enter the adb devices command it shows up but when I enter the fastboot devices, even in fastboot mode, it doesn't show up.
how can I fix this? I have htc sync, latest htc drivers, and android sdk installed.
viperS rom.

No, I mean, after that command I get to the fastboot menu (as you said it shows up fastboot usb), and then I send a fastboot command, and then I get no response.

thanks for reply, actually I'm not new to this, I've rooted my phone a long time ago, now the problem is that the phone is not recognized by the windows in fastboot mode (there are lots of threads about this but non of them worked for me.), and I tried every drivers available, naked, htc sync drivers, PDAnet, etc, and the android SDK and adb and etc are OK and I even reinstalled them.
can you help please?
thanks again.

[Q] Fastboot does nothing!

Hey,
i just wanted to flash the newest clockworkmod but my fastboot.exe does nothing.
Phone is in fastbootmode, please help
Windows 7 x64...but it worked the other day
Fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img where "recovery" stands for the numbers of the recovery in tools folder i believe.
Also if you run 2.3.4, recovery wil not stick after reboot unless you change something ( i believe the recovery.sh file), hope this helps!

i can flash the recovery fia ROMManager, and also can boot into it, but when i boot the phone into bootloader/fastboot mode i can't flash a new recovery, because when i hit enter after "fastboot" i get no output in cmd
If you don't get anything back on fastboot devices, then you either don't have the proper drivers installed, don't have the phone in fastboot mode, or don't have the phone connected via USB. Probably the first one.
Easiest way to get the fastboot drivers is to simply install PDA Net on your computer and follow the on screen prompts. It will automatically install the appropriate drivers for your device.

Did you ever figure this out? I have installed PDA net, drivers, etc, and fastboot simply will not connect to my phone. Win7x64.

Need more info.
Did you install the "ADB Bootloader Interface" driver?
Did you boot the the phone into the bootloader before trying the fastboot command? (ie. UP + PWR)

Having trouble with "fastboot"

Hey Guys,
Ive been using stock nexus s for a long time now, and decided to try out the new ICS room. Since i got a new PC, i had to install SDK, drivers etc. But no matter what I do, I get the unkown command when i run fastboot oem unlock. Ive done this before, and all the drivers and sdk shall be correctly installed. Ive tried reinstalling etc, but nothing seem to help.
Do anyone know what could be wrong?

When I reinstalled my SDK i hadnt noticed that ./adb had been moved to a different directory, and the SDK no longer comes with ./fastboot. If you do a quick google search, or a search on XDA, there are forums out there with links and uploaded copies. Actually I'll just put mine up here in a .zip archive. I moved ./adb and ./fastboot back in to my tools folder since it's what I'm used to.
Aha. That might be the case. I took the fastboot, from your zip and copy pasted it into the ./tools folder. Aldo grabbed the adb from platform-tools folder.
Still cant get it to work. Only ADB works so far. If i remember correctly i'm supposed to write "adb devices" and it will show the phone. This doesnt happend. I got android adb interface in device manager, and the drives should be ok.

So, ADB and fastboot operate under 2 different conditions.
Phone in boot loader:
fastboot devices should show a device
adb devices shows nothing
Phone booted normally or in recovery
fastboot devices shows nothing
adb devices shows a device
Fastboot won't do anything if the device is not in the boot loader. If you are in the boot loader the fastboot devices does not show your device then it's a driver issue.
If you get unknown command then fastboot then you aren't in the same cwd as fastboot or it's not in a folder listed in the PATH.

Great point. I had completely forgotten about that. Since your adb is working, run <code>./adb reboot bootloader</code>. Once your phone boots up and you see the funky android dude, you can use fastboot commands

It doesn't use ADB at all. That may be what you have your local binary named, but it's fastboot. You need to be in the bootloader (where adb cannot work).
Fastboot is the utility used for unlocking the bootloader, flashing/erasing partitions, booting images (such as a kernel or recovery) without installing to the device.
ADB is the Android Debug Bridge.
This is just for clarity here, there's seemingly a lot of confusion.
Thanks for the clarification bud

Yeah. I was in bootloader mode. So then i guess the fastboot "path". that could be the problem then. Ill check it out when i get back from work. Thanks

[Q] Stuck in boot loop, can't detect in ADB or fastboot

Hey guys, I really need some help here, I'm not good at any of this stuff - my OPO just randomly got stuck on a boot loop, I have never played with the USB debugging or any of that or tried to flash anything else, I was using just stock cyanogen.
I've been reading around and I've downloaded all the drivers but still can't detect the device when I do the Shift + Right Click --> Run CMD "fastboot devices" or "adb devices".
I never enabled options such as the USB debugging or anything else, can someone please help me out? I'm really clueless to all of this stuff.
You must first put your phone in fastboot mode.
To put your phone in fastboot mode, turn it off, and then hold power+volume down until you get a screen with only the cyanogenmod logo. If you get to this screen, you're in fastboot mode. If you have installed the proper drivers in your computer, you should be able to connect to the phone from your computer. Connect your usb cable to the phone and the computer, open a dos box and type "fastboot devices". If you get a series of letters and numbers then you're OK.

This, except that's the wrong button combo (power + volume down is for recovery). Use power + volume up to get to fastboot mode and then try the "fastboot devices" command.

I tried that, but again no response in CMD when I type fastboot devices.
Although I just tried and am able to boot into recovery mode, would I be able to do some sort of factory reset there? I've already tried to wipe user data but I'm still getting a bootloop there.

I can't remember what capabilities the stock recovery has, but if it's there it's worth trying.

i am also facing the same problem that phone loops into fast boot mode whenever turned on i do totally every kind of drivers softwares and etc like tenorshare but all in vain i guess at last that phone must be enabled usb debuging in order to be detected as a active adb device,i pratically do this stuff by using another phone with enabled debuging and it was an active device andd can be processed further but when i disabled the usb debugging of same phone it was not working with adb interface i hope you understand,,,,but a miracle happenend i removed the battery for about a week and suddenly i pluged and try to turn it on hola it starts from roms boot logo

fastboot only works when your device is in bootloader mode. If adb can communicate with your device, you don't need fastboot.

Figured it out, not sure why or how but for some reason the cheapish cable I was using was causing the problem. And yes I was in fastboot.
