fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file??how i can fix?
That occurs when you don't actually have fastboot installed, or if you're trying to issue a fastboot command without changing directory to where you have fastboot installed. If you do have it installed just navigate to the folder where fastboot.exe is, hold shift and right click, and select "open command prompt here" from the menu, now try your fastboot command.

i wanted to flash the new firmware onto my phone so i could flash ics, but one of the requirements is to have superCID.
ive been following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
But, everytime i get to the command, "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" it only gives me a message saying, 'fastboot' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program batch file.
is there anything i may have missed? ive tried starting over thinking i may have written a command wrong but it still wont work.
thanks in advance guys
Is fastboot present in your sdk installation? If I remember well it should be in "tools" folder of the SDK files.
Try to update your packages through SDK manager.
Re-download, the fastboot package and then unzip...
Open the folder where you see a file called Fastboot.exe
Right click anywhere while holding shift button and press open command here...
Then type that command which you want for CiD
Don't frget to thanx if it works

thanks guys
it turns out that fastboot wasnt in my adb folder but was in my android sdk folder, so i just copied and pasted it into the adb file and tried again, this time it works. thanks guys now onto flashing the new firmware
I've looked all over the place and have tried multiple things to fix this but when I'm trying to flash a new boot image, I try using the fastboot command and I get an error saying
"fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Any idea how I can fix this. Yes the fastboot.exe is in platform-tools.
In cmd go to the place/path (mostly c:androidsdk\platform-tools) and then use fastboot from there.
Best way to access fastboot in windows is to add the path where fastboot is present in environmental variable )

Also look up "path variables windows (whatever)"
are you opening your command prompt in platform-tools (or wherever your fastboot.exe is)? you havent given us much background on what you did to setup and what you've done to troubleshoot...

You need to cd in cmd to the directory you extracted your sdk tools to. Or drop the fastboot and adb files from your download into c:\windows\system32. Or add your extracted directory to environment variables as per the link.
Its not difficult if you read

Alright same problem happened with me
Just go into the fastboot folder in cmd that gave you the error
Example: C:\Users\Vishnu\Downloads\Fastboot>fastboot oem lock
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Now in cmd type cd fastboot again
C:\Users\Vishnu\Downloads\Fastboot>cd fastboot
enter
so now it should say something like this
C:\Users\Vishnu\Downloads\Fastboot\Fastboot>
after that type in fastboot and whatever command you need like fastboot oem lock or whatever
That should do it

I think i might be able to help.
You do have the adb-tools and the adb-treiber folders right? And you have run the file in the adb-treiber folder, and unlocked the bootloader from the adb-tools folder, good.
Now copy all the files from the hammerhead-lrx21o folder into the adb-tools folder, and try and run the flash-all.bat file again.
Let me know if it works, it did for me.

Yeah, in the same directory on CMD type:
./fastboot devices
Everything has to start with ./fastboot and then the command.
I'm trying to uninstall Cyanogenmod 11 from my Nexus 5, but I'm very confused right now.
I have downloaded the Factory image (Headhammer-ktu84p) and the SDK manager (and installed USB driver, SDK tools and so on). My phone is in developer mode, and debugging is on. Both fastboot driver and original driver is installed.
I took my factory image folder and placed it inside the android-sdk/platform-tools folder.
Now, I can't get what to do. Some tutorials tell me to run flash-all, but it gives me this error:
"Fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command."
Other tutorials tell me to run fastboot.exe inside platform-tools, but it all it does is giving me different commands to try out.
I'm very confused, and don't have a clue what to do. Don't feel like any tutorials are working. Can somebody please help me?
What i did
I extracted all 6 files of the factory image directly into platform-tools folder
Then i connect my phone wid usb debugging enabled..
Go into platform-tools folder
Shift+right click
Open command prompt here
Now type
Adb reboot bootloader
Once phone boots into bootloader
Just double click on flashall

So, that resolution didn't solve my problem either.
I'm unable to instal the fastboot on my phone.
The problem is that Cyanogenmod has changed my "Recovery mode" and I just can edit some things through the "adb" commands. I don't have any possibilities to install things by the "flash" commands. And nothing about that icons like "flash-all.bat" is helping me to have my Android back or install the fastboot.
What can I do?
Make sure fastboot.exe file is inside the factory image folder. and drivers are installed. Then rebot phone into bootloader, by holding power and Volume down buttons. It will show you android image with open belly and some text on the bottom. Open CMD by holsing shift and rigth click on empty space in factory image folder.
Execute these commands:
Fastboot devices (If it will show up in CMD as connected, proceed)
Fastboot flash radio radio.img (file name may vary)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img (File name may vary)
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update (Here drag the zip file with factory image. the one that was in folder woth bootlaoder and radio images)
Fastboot reboot
That's it. To restore it to full stock, run command fastboot oem lock afterwards.
If i helped press that thanks button
Try using wugfresh nrt as well.
I have been frustrated trying to use fastboot commands, especially the "flash" command on my windows 10 laptop. I continually got an "unable to load' message. I have reloaded the drivers manually as recommended by some, which still did not work. Well, it turns out that you need the complete path in the fastboot command line when using 10. Put your img, bin files in a folder you will be using. Open the command prompt using the windows-x keys. Select the command prompt from the menu.. It does not need to be the administrator. Use the fastbooot devices command to make sure the computer can see your device. I then issue the fastboot command I want: fastboot flash logo and then drag the file from the folder you are in and drop it on the command line. In this case I used, nowarning.bin. When it populated the complete path starting with the c: prompt shows up. Make sure there is a space before the C: and the previous command. Hit enter. I have searched everywhere and have not found an answer to this problem. I did see a video on youtube where the fellow dragged a file from the folder and dropped it in the command prompt window. So thanks to him for that simple yet effective trick.. Hopefully this will work for you if your having the same problem I had...
