fastboot and "waiting for device"???

I'm trying to change the kernel (with DooMKernel) on my Arc.
I installed the ADB drivers (at least I hope ), in fact, when I plug in my arc in my device manager I can read:
-Android phone
->Android ADB Interface
So, when i tryed with fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version command, it's ok, I get a response back.
With fastboot flash boot boot.img, I get the "waiting for device"
What's the problem??

try type fastboot flash boot boot.img

But that won't flash the kernel...

Sorry... I'm confused

Fastboot boot boot boot.img just boots the kernel but doesn't flash it.

[Q] TWRP recovery Stuck at Booting recov image

Hi, it's the second time i try to install TWRP recovery v2.2.0+ and each time it keeps getting stuck at the boot with the message
Bootloader version 0.03.06-ics unlock mode
Booting recovery kernel image.
Waited for more than 10 minutes and nothing happened.
i can reboot and and log into ics normally i just don't have access to a recovery.
---I want to know how to properly install twrp , what went wrong and how to fix it.:
the script:
@echo off
cls
echo reboot to bootloader
adb wait-for-device
adb shell su -c "mount -o remount, rw /system/ && mv /etc/install-recovery.sh /etc/install-recovery.offsh;"
adb reboot-bootloader
echo flashing recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-A100ICS-TWRP-2.2.0.img
echo -
echo -
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
echo check the recovery XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX--This is where i'm stuck at.
adb reboot recovery
MY SETUP:
ROM FLEX-A100-REAPER-RELIX_Rev2 , OC A 1500, CWM was working ok.
WIN64

I would suggest downloading the image again, then trying the install script after you delete the current image with the newly downloaded image.
If you feel OK using a terminal its pretty straight forward
Open a terminal and CD to the folder with adb fast boot and recovery image
Example
cd c:\recovery
If powered on type
adb reboot bootloader
After it boots into download protocol type
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Twrp.IMG being whatever the file name is.
fastboot reboot
Let it boot into android then
adb reboot recovery
See what it does.

a100/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-a100.img
renamed to recovery.img and flashed properly.
Same problem. Can it be related to the bootloader number ?

That's the only boot loader we can flash on so that's fine. Did you download the image again?

Did you erase recovery before flashing?

Agreed.
I would try again make sure to: 'fastboot erase recovery', then 'fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img' (make sure it's recovery [space] then the img name).
You can also try Zeronull's 2.1.1/2.2.0 and Linuxsociety's 2.2.2.0. It could be a bad upload of the 2.2.2.1 img

Answer
There's a file in /system/etc/ called install_recovery.sh that may need to be deleted for the custom recovery to stick. You need root to remove it.
sounds like you may need to start fresh.
Use fastboot to erase the system, boot, recovery and cache, perform a fastboot -w and then install the new recovery and ROM. Erasing the system will kill that recovery file from above.
Let me know. There are a couple of other options that I can think of.
---------- Post added at 06:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------
Here is what it should look like in fastboot on the command prompt yours will be different of course because mine is setup differently. But basically load up fastboot on windows or whatever you use and first erase the recovery then run fastboot -w and then flash the twrp recovery image and finally fastboot reboot. After reboot hold down volume button and enter recovery as usual. Should work then. My explanation is above. It's the install_recovery.sh file fastboot -w takes care of it! Sorry for bumping and old thread. But it doesn't look like it ever got solved.

[Q] Is CWM Recovery supported on HOX JB 4.1.1 ?

Hi All,
I can't get any version of CWM Recovery working on updated HOX
I'm not flashing it, just doing "fastboot boot imgname" ( this worked for me well before ), and phone hangs with white htc boot screen
I'd like to do backup before i try new Android Revolution HD
After i reset it ( pwr+voldown ), phone boots correctly and works fine, it's just recovery that is not working.
cid HTC_032, hboot 1.36
Any idea ? Am I the only one having this problem ?
Best Regards.
Edit:
fastboot shows this:
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY

Yes, but i don't want to flash it. i want to boot into cwm recovery without flashing it. This was possible before ota today.
Code:
C:\aaa>fastboot.exe
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable

options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id

You want to enter the stock or custom recovery ?
Do this
Fastboot erase cache
Helped many people not being able to enter the recovery
And if you want to flash a boot.img its not
Fastboot boot boot.img
But
Fastboot flash boot.img
With fastboot boot boot.img you run the phone once with that specific kernel and with a reboot its undone ! It's more used for test purposes
Your edited tekst in the op says clearly
Downloading boot.img and not recovery.img
Was your command right ?
And btw what's wrong with running the custom recovery and enter from the bootloader or directly from the os . I have a 4-way reboot (also the option to boot into recovery)

Erasing cache didn't help
What's wrong with flashing custom recovery, is that i always try read-only methods before i alter something, even if its useless but working
And I'm genuinely afraid of flashing something that seems to not work
Anyway, this is output from cmd:
Code:
C:\Users\gstawik\Desktop\Android\Flash_boot_17.x_0.1\fastboot>fastboot-windows.e
xe boot ..\..\recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
C:\Users\gstawik\Desktop\Android\Flash_boot_17.x_0.1\fastboot>
And it DID work many times before the HTC JellyBean OTA update.
Also, i get it, "fastboot flash recovery imgname" to flash, "fastboot boot imgname" to boot directly, now I'm sad, because i feel like my English sucks :crying:
EDIT:
Other fastboot binary versions, including newest one from SDK, do not solve this problem.

Well then i'm a bit in the dark now,.never "played" with these commands. I just flash the damn thing and enter it

Oke 2 mistakes on your side, you dont have the updated hboot to run JB roms and since fastboot commands do not work you didn't flash the boot.img with the commands
Do you have a folder on the pc with adb and fastboot files ? If no
Download this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And place it like this
C:\fastboot\the files i gave you
And then open a cmd prompt in the folder and do those commands again

sorry for the long wait
it still say waiting for device + i dont think my usb debugging is enabled

Download any ICS rom (i can recommend the viper x) and put it on the sdcard of the phone (do that by mounting the sdcard as a usb disk within the recovery) copy the boot.img file from within the rom.zip file and copy it to the fastboot folder
Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img with this command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery and do a full wipe (do not wipe the sdcard)
Then choose install zip from sdcard and choose the rom.zip and install it ! Reboot and you have a working phone until I have news about the nandroid backup you need, i already sent him a message

Ah its relocked, that explains it. Can you find back the unlock_code.bin file that you received by the hycdev site when you first unlocked the device ?
Put that file also in the fastboot folder on pc and reboot the phone again into fastboot usb mode
Do
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
This will unlock the bootloader and you will be able to flash the recovery .... So try again

[Q] Complete noob needs help relocking bootloader

Okay so I have the One X, decided I wanted to root it even though I have NO IDEA what its all about (yes I know Im an idiot). I basically got as far as unlocking the bootloader then something went wrong and I couldnt get any further. I basically just want to relock the bootloader but I have no idea how. Like I said, Im a complete noob and need someone to really walk me through this the simplest way there is. Ps Im on a mac, which Im sure makes it even more difficult.
Any help is greatly appreciated :/

well, i don't know anything about mac, but i do know how to re-lock the bootloader under microsoft windows.
All you have to do is download FASTBOOT in any windows pc, download it from here
press and hold volume down + power button on your phone (to enter bootloader)
when in bootloader, enter fastboot mode by just hitting power key once,
now connect USB to pc and the phone
u'll see FASTBOOT PC written in your phone screen,
now go to the downloaded fastboot folder in ur pc,
hold SHIFT and Right click, Select OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE,
in the command window, just write : fastboot oem lock
That's it!

thanks so much for your reply. I'm gonna hold out and see if anyone can give me a mac reply but I'm gonna see if anyone I know can lend me their laptops and try what you said. thanks again

here is a thread explaining how to unlock on mac, quite simple steps
to lock the bootloader, all u need is to write ./fastboot-mac oem lock instead of ./fastboot-mac oem unlock :good:

I tried that link before and its never worked. I dont have a great understanding of Terminal and it usual gives me something along the lines of 'no such file or directory'.
Edit: I just got '-bash: ./fasboot-mac: No such file or directory'

That means that you haven't downloaded fastboot!
You need to download fastboot.exe to perform this operation.
or simply visit some friend with a windows pc and do the task

still can't get my hands on a Windows laptop :/ just moved house too so don't even have any wifi agh.

One question, do you have the Android SDK installed? I can help you with the mac since it is the same as linux
