Blackstone - Fastboot Problem

Well I am trying to Flash the latest fagyi NAND for Blackstone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914723
So I did everything, but when I reached the fastboot thingy, I did this:
After ROM flashed, took batter out and restarted device.
Blue screen showed up, forced fastboot, ready USB state, so I connected to PC
Then I opened a command prompt, so now what should I enter in the command prompt! I am using fagyi's fastboot!
Thanks, in advance!

Sorry for double posting, but please someone answer me, or atleast give me a tip/advice!

Do you mean this part?
13. Now connect the Blackstone to your Windows OS and open a CLi/Command prompt
14. Within CLi go to the directory where you place the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files (from step 2)
15. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this will flash install the custom CWR)
16. Then type: fastboot boot recovery.img (this will reboot your Blackstone into CWR)

Yeah that exactly!

Step 2 says
2. Extract the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files to a folder
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so the 1st question is, do you know what folder you put those files in? Note that we're talking about your computer, not your phone. On your computer, open a command prompt by doing Start -> Run... -> cmd (This is Step 13). Navigate to the folder from Step 2 This is Step 14). Then, type the appropriate commands from Steps 15 & 16.
Still don't get it? Ask away!

Um the files are placed in C:
And when I enter the commands, it says 'File too big to fit in memory"? What do I do now?

So your step 14 should be to type cd c:\, then 15 fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Is that when you get the error?

Yes, exactly then!

Ok, try redownloading the fastboot program, or install the Android SDK to get the newest version directly from Google.

I've redowloaded it alot of times! And I already have the Android SDK and am using the latest one!

Are you sure that you're using the correct version of all relevant programs? By that, I mean 32 vs 64-bit.

I am not sure about that, how should I know?

Do you get the same error if you type fastboot devices ?

I havent typed that yet!
EDIT: No I get this - "RH104393397 fastboot"

Please Admin/Moderator, lock this thread, my problem is now fixed!

[Q] Rooting noob...

Hey guys I'm in the process of using the new rooting method and I'm at the part where I put the unlock_code.bin into my phone but I go into my computer and my phone doesn't show up. I am currently in bootloader and stopped for fear of hurting my phone. How do I proceed? So sorry for being such a noob but I'd really really appreciate it if someone could help me!

So your CID was successfully set?

Yes my CID was set. I need help with the unlock_code.bin

So I tried to run the command fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin as you are supposed to in the HTCdev site but this is the response:
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

you need to have fastboot executable installed in that directory also is your phone in debugging mode ?
take a peak at gunny's adb/fastboot primer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
hopefully that'll do it. good luck

ostoristn accomplish
Ok I put fastboot in there and it still didn't work. The phone is currently in bootloader. Yes I had debugging on when I switched it to bootloader.

What do you mean by didn't work? What is happening now when you run fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

go into the directory where your adb is and run "adb devices" from command prompt and let's see if your device is recognized, if it isn't it might be your drivers or try a different usb port.

Are you executing the commands from the folder where fastboot exists ? For example
You have adb, fastboot in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" then you need to goto C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists) and then execute the command

did you get the unlock_code.bin from the htcdev website ?? It also needs to be in the same directory as your fastboot executable.

FIRMWARE - manual flash

hi all
trying to flash manually. have read guides with no success.
have tried renaming the extracted file, saving to sd card, tried flashing the zip in twrp and still no luck.
question - does anyone know the commands to flash the BLOB file?
i found this article BUT want to know if i should be using the same commands.
http://www.androidauthority.com/eee-pad-transformer-prime-ics-9-4-2-13-us-firmware-56714/
Copy the “blob” file into the root of your tablet’s removable microSD card.
Open the Android Terminal Emulator app on your tablet.
In the Terminal Emulator screen, type “su” (without the quotation marks) and press Enter. This will allow root access to Terminal Emulator.
Type the command “dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4” (again, without the quotation marks) and press Enter. The command will take about 5 to 20 minutes to finish.
Reboot your device when the following is displayed in the app:
1068769+1 records in
1068769+1 records out
547210197 bytes transferred in 153.991 secs (3553520 bytes/sec)
As soon as the tablet is rebooted, the update process will automatically kick in.
thanks

yes it's unlocked and i'm running cromi-x 5.4 with hunds extreme tweaks kernel.
i want to flash to the stock firmware (.10) as i'll
1) be bringing it back to asus for a repair job - defective micro sd slot
2) want to flash roms which say i need .10 version bootloader.
i've looked at the manually flashing guides my tf doesnt detect nor does twrp flash it when i try to install.

No you will not need that just the blob ...
So from CMD window opened as admin run this command...
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob
Let it do its thing ....
Once it comes back to command prompt type
Code:
fastboot reboot
Let it boot into new rom with new bootloader and such ..

thx josh! i followed your instructions and the TF went thru an updating process before booting to the home screen.
i checked the settings and the build says:
"J0P40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801" so i assume thats all correct now?
QN - do you know where i can get the stock kernel? as i'll be returning it for a repair under warranty i assume i need to restore this too?

For future reference, placing blob in the same folder as fastboot is not required. However you do need the blob folder to be the current folder for your terminal session.

[Q] Can't Flash 5.0 Image

I can't flash the image file. It fails for some reasons.
I'm getting an error message("fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command") in cmd when I open flash-all.bat file.
phone is rooted, with open bootloader. I had AOKP custom rom before i tried to flash 5.0.
Any Ideas what to do?

It means you've not copied the files into your ADB folder as it can't find the fastboot files

open the folder where you extracted the tarbal
hold down shift and right click
open command prompt here
do a "fastboot devices" to check if your device is connected
continue flashing using the commands.

worked for me i never had to put anything into my android tools folder, i have system wide access no matter where i open up the command prompt.

Easiest way is to extract the sh1t out of the Google file until you eventually see all the img files. Then extract the fastboot zip into the same folder they're in and open a command prompt there.

People refer to the folder with ADB and fastboot in it as the ADB folder (If you had adb/fastboot in the system path this wouldn't even be required)

Just boot into Twrp,connect your device to Pc and transfer any ROM and flash it.Gee,twrp supports mtp,which means you can transfer stuff.Alternatively,if mtp is not working for any reason,you can use usb otg as well.

I forgot to mention you can use adb sideload as well.
Since you've adb drivers installed,boot into twrp,go to advanced and enable adb sideload,connect to PC.Copy the ROM zip in your adb folder(where adb files are situated),press shift and simultaneously hit right button on your mouse,select open cmd here.Now write command "adb devices"(obviously without quotes), if all goes well,you'll see your device Id there,proceed and write command "adb sideload ROM name.zip" (where ROM name= exact name of file you're trying to flash).The flashing progress should start now.
