fastboot usb mode (device not found)

Ok I can use commands VIA fastboot when the phone is on. The problem is using commands when the phone is in bootloader. It says "fastboot usb" But when i am trying to use commands like :adb reboot" i get a " device not found " error
The device is Eng s off and ship s off
Tryed this with 3 computers with no luck
I have all the needed drivers.
And using commands in bootloader worked before.

you cannot use adb commads while in fastboot, not will your device show up with the "adb devices" command, you can only issue fastboot commands. so to reboot you must use the command "fastboot reboot" and to show your device you can use the command "fastboot devices"

are you using leedroid's rom? i had the same problem, when i used his rom, some of the permissions in /system/bin/ are wrong on his rom, they are rwsr-xr-x and they should be set to rwxr-xr-x, try using adb

I was using Leedroid, i f**** up and installed multiple .zip at once.... first "leedroidRom.zip" and then "theme" without rebooting between.
After that it stopped working ( I think )
I then wiped everything and installed Android Revolution 2.0.12..
"Terminal"
# Reboot
not permited!
About the question i asked earlier. So its not possible to use adb commands trough fastboot. only fastboot commands.
so i have to use : "fastboot flash" and "fastboot push" to execute commands ?

you cannot use the push command while in fastboot for the same reason you cannot use ADB commands, because at that moment android is not booted, you can use adb commands from recovery though
here are the fastboot commands i know of:
fastboot devices - fastboot devices will give you a list of devices connected to the computer. This is also a good way to make sure that your phone is actually connected to the computer.
fastboot reboot - this will reboot your phone normally
fastboot oem unlock - Dont think this works with the DHD
fastboot erase XXX - Will erase the partition XXX (such as userdata, cache) - mainly used for resetting phone and clearing userdata / factory settings.
fastboot flash XXX YYY - This will flash XXX partitionn with YYY image

[Q] Trying to install TWRP over CWM

Pardon me if this has been covered in the past, but I'm having a difficult time finding the info that I'm looking for.
I have a Kindle Fire that I had put CWM on. Yesterday, I installed TWRP and the Reloaded ICS rom.
Everything went fine and I'm very happy with the ICS installation.
However, if I boot back into recovery, then CWM loads up. I was expecting TWRP to overwrite CWM, but apparently that's not how it works.
I'm on a Mac and these are the steps I took to flash TWRP:
Connect your KF to you computer and open a terminal.
Navigate to your platform-tools folder
cd Path to platform-tools
Once here check to see your KF is recognized by ADB
sudo ADB devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*Note you may have to use the command Sudo ./adb devices, it really depends on how you have your SDK setup.
If you see a series of numbers it verifies your KF is being seen by ADB. Next you'll type
sudo ADB shell or sudo ./adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then ask for root permission
SU
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next you'll need to set your bootmode to fastboot
idme bootmode 4002
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It will tell you that <idme> write 4002 to offset 0x1000. Now you'll need to exit the shell
Exit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you're back in your platform-tools folder restart adb
Sudo adb reboot or sudo ./adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ADB will restart then you can issue the fastboot command
sudo fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.RC0.img or sudo ./fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.RC0.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If memory serves me correctly, the device will reboot to TWRP and saying its installed. It will reboot itself. Once rebooted you'll be shown a yellow triangle with a fire on it. Don't panic as its a modified bootloader that allows you to access your recovery. It boots here because your device is still set to boot into the bootloader. To fix this type
sudo fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 or sudo ./fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then simply give fastboot the command to reboot
sudo fastboot reboot or sudo ./fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your device will reboot to the bootloader again, except this time it only stays like that for a short period in order for you to access your recovery if need be. To access TWRP simply hold your power button down for around 2 seconds. Your power button will change to an orange color, release the button and TWRP will show up. If you do nothing at the bootloader your rom of choice will continue to boot.

If you are trying to install TWRP version 2.1.x then those steps will not get TWRP installed onto your recovery partition. "fastboot boot" just loads the image into memory and boots from there. You'll need to "fastboot flash" the image to actually get it on to the recovery partition.
Just to clarify a possible source of confusion... version 2.0.0 was distributed as a boot image wrapped around the recovery image. So, the instructions were to "fastboot boot" the boot image and then it would run an internal script that would flash the recovery image contained within the boot image. Now, version 2.1.x is just a recovery image, so you'll need to flash it manually.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img

Thank you.
That worked perfectly.

[Q] Bricked Kindle Fire not recognized by either ADB or Windows

Hey guys, I'm a new member to XDA but I've been browsing on it for a while. I figured you guys could help. I rooted my Kindle Fire a couple months ago and had Clockwork Recovery(TWRP is better). I decided I didn't want it rooted so I restored the Kindle thinking it would remove the root, it actually bricked it. Now all that comes up is the Kindle Fire boot screen with the android bot over top of it, it doesn't glimmer or flash, that's all. It isn't recognized by ADB or Windows(and Device Manager). I haven't found a thread exactly like mine so I figured I'd post one. Please help guys, I miss Minecraft PE and Netflix!

Assuming you know how to access recovery...
Download the latest version of FireFireFire and either "adb push" it to your sdcard or use the mount function in recovery and transfer it.
FireFireFire 1.4 can be found here. It comes in a .zip file for flashing in recovery. DO NOT install the .zip file with the "fastboot flash bootloader" command or you will brick your device.
When installed reboot and use your power button at the kindle fire screen as if you were trying to enter recovery. At some point some options will show up on the bottom. Use the power button to select "Normal Boot".

@soupmagnet
what do you mean by ADB Push? Recovery as in turning the kindle on and then holding the power button again until it turns orange?

Actually, it would be easier to explain how to mount your sdcard.

Yes. While in recovery, there will be a mount to USB function that will mount the sdcard partition to your computer as if it were an external drive, such as a USB thumb drive.

Good thing I know that, however, I can't access recovery..
I think I might've reformatted the system folder while in recovery..

Recovery is in a separate partition from the system files and cannot be formatted while in recovery. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able access recovery so you'll probably need to reinstall it.
How comfortable are you with using command prompt?

A little experienced, how hard can entering commands be?

OMG Don't EVER say that.
Do you have adb and fastboot on your computer? If yes...Is it from AndroidSDK or KFU?

Hahahahha my mistake.
I do have ADB but I don't think I have fastboot(I probably do).

I do have fastboot.

mrpike9416 said:

Okay, make sure the you have TWRP version 2.1 and place it in the same folder as fastboot. It would be wise to rename it to something manageable like "twrp.img"
In your command prompt, enter:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Note: version 2.0 will not work with this command
And while you're at it:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
[Edit:] That will likely fix your problem (barring driver issues) but you should still install FFF1.4

I just tried a different cable and the computer recognizes my kindle in device manager as Android ADB Interface... the twrp 2.1 cmd thing you told me to do was a no go but I assume we have more options now now that device manager recognizes it?
(EDIT)
It is now recognized on device manager as "Unknown Device" and no longer as Android ADB Interface..

1. What happens when you enter:
Code:
fastboot devices
2. What error message, if any, did you receive when entering the "twrp 2.1 cmd thing"?

"fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
That happened for both instances.

Do you have fastboot and what folder is it in?

Yeah its an .exe file i believe... under the "Files and Tools" folder when I downloaded ADB from Android SDK.

Better yet...fastboot and adb are programs with a certain set of commands associated with them. Those commands only work with each individual program. In order to issue a certain command that isn't associated with "shell" or "DOS" you have to include an "identifier" so the computer knows from which program to run the commands. In this case it is "fastboot" because you are using the fastboot program. In order issue commands this way, the program you are using must either be listed in your "PATH" or be in the directory from which you are issuing the commands.
The easiest way to do this in Windows is to shift+right click on the folder containing the program and select "Run in Command". The command window that opens is were you will be entering your commands.

error: cannot load "twrp.img"
I typed "fastboot devices!" (out of frustration I must admit).
This is what came up:
C:\Users\Nick\Documents\KindleRoot\tools>fastboot devices!
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system

-n <page size> specify the nand page size. default:

Turn your device off then enter the command. When it says "waiting for device" turn it back on.
Fastboot commands only work in fastboot mode. If you have a modified bootloader installed, the first few seconds of the boot process is a temporary fastboot mode which will accept fastboot commands.
If it just hangs at "waiting for device", you need to fix your drivers.

[6039] Custom Recovery - TWRP - 2.8.7.0

Hello guys/girls,
I have built successfully a TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery for Alcatel Idol 3 6039 4.7 inch (tested on 6039y). The recovery image can be downloaded from here:
Edit (30.09.2015): I think this will be the final version of the recovery. The date/time issue is fixed now and additionally small adjustments to the initialization process have been added.
twrp_recovery-2.8.7.0-idol347.img
md5sum: 175be787d67839d15beab7285279a72c
Please note that the latest OTA updates from the end of August and the start of September disable the fastboot commands which means that this recovery cannot be started as described below (if your device is already upgraded)!!! The device will return FAILED (remote: unknown command) when you try to boot the recovery.
If you find yourself in this situation but want root access please see this thread.
It can be tested as follows:
- enable the developer options
- allow the USB debugging
- reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
- start the recovery image with:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot twrp_recovery-2.8.7.0-idol3-6039y.img
Please do not forget first to make a backup of the system partition by selecting System Image from the Backup settings. The backup image will be needed in order to install future OTA updates if available, so please keep it in a safe place.

Great job! A couple of the outstanding issues on the 6045 TWRP are that the date/time stamp of the backup is screwy because of a known bug with 64 bit chips and also the recovery identifies every model as a Y model (you can see in recovery.log) because the boot.img for a Y was used. Yours may also encounter one or both of these issues. I suggested in the other thread they consider building for each model using the individual boot.img but didn't get a reply.

Yes, the date/time stamp is wrong. The device model however is not much . The ro.product.model is shown as idol347. It is a custom build after all.

I tried to use TWRP on my 6039Y and it's not working. Well to be more precise I don't know if your custom recovery works or not because I can't seem to get past the first step. Here's what happened
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
So the device reboots, but doesn't get past the first screen (Alcatel OneTouch Powered by Android) even after a minute or so. Should I let it more time or is this the bootloader?
Then i try this
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices
This seems to have no effect, the command seems to execute without any consequence and I'm able to type a new line in cmd
And if I try
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot twrp_recovery-2.8.7.0-idol3-6039y.img
I get a <waiting for device> and I'm stuck on that line, having to Ctrl+C to stop the command and reboot the phone by holding power
Yes I know, I'm on Windows and it might be the drivers causing this. However I have installed the ADB drivers through SDK just fine. I would like to be able to install the drivers from the phone but the only options I see in the USB connection settings are MTP, PTP and Charging only. Any idea on how to get that CD-Rom option to appear?
Thanks for your help in advance

Try with the drivers posted by @famewolf here or with these.
Meanwhile the first post has been updated with a new link. Please download the recovery again. There was a bug with the screenlock in the previous build. The screenlock is disabled in this one.

Alright I'll make sure to try that. Otherwise I guess I'll just try with Linux or Mac. Thanks

A quick check of the dirvers shared by @famewolf shows that they should work on windows with 6039y (at least to start the recovery). These are the vendor and the product IDs of 6039y from one of the INF files in the archive so the drivers should be compatible with the device when is in the bootloader (they match with those reported by the device).
Code:
USB\VID_1BBB&PID_D00D.DeviceDescRelease="Android Sooner Single ADB Interface"
I don't see however the IDs for the recovery mode:
Code:
[726530.487224] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=18d1, idProduct=4ee2
and the IDs from when the phone is connected as MTP device:
Code:
[726695.431624] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=1bbb, idProduct=af2b
but I hope everything to be OK. Good luck.

Should this work on 6039J?

Has not been tested on 6039J until now, but you can try it. Don't rush with backups wipes etc. (because the partition table can be different) just boot with it through fastboot. You can examine your partitions with the recovery from the repartitioning guide which contains gdisk (if your phone is not rooted yet). But this is only if this one works with your device. By the way what is the J version ? Dual sim ?

I'm trying to create a backup of the 6039S (North American 16GB, 1-SIM/1-SD model), and am having some issues with fastboot.
ADB is working flawlessly, and I can boot into the bootloader. As petrov.0 noted earlier in this thread there is no dedicated bootloader screen, just the onetouch splashscreen displays.
I can enter:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices
and the device shows up: "6346ce6d fastboot".
However, when I go to run any of the OEM commands, e.g.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info
it shows:
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.016s
Any ideas? By all appearances the alcatel driver seems to be working, but could this still be a driver issue?

remote: unknown command is a protocol error, as long as I understand the source. What is the host OS ? Windows ... which version ... did you try to start cmd.exe as administrator ? Which drivers you use ? On what port is your device connected (USB 2 or USB 3). Do you have access to a Linux box ? If you have try from there. I'm not sure how Windows handles the sharing of the USB ports with a virtual machine. You can try to start a distro in VirtualBox, which have option to expose a device connected on the host to the guest system and then to try fastboot from there.

ZE551ML + Ubuntu 14.04.1[fastboot issue]

Hi folks.
I'm trying to root my phone (ZE551ML - 2.83Ghz and 4Gb Ram) with method 3 in this thread (Using Ubuntu 14.04.1 with installed ADB 1.0.32 and android-tools-fastboot) but the script Root.sh gives me this error:
./adb.mac: 1: ./adb.mac: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
And the script is not rooting the phone.
Then i tryed to do things manually and observed that after i hit the 'adb reboot bootloader' (so i can flash the files like the script would do) the phone reboots into fastboot mode but the 'adb devices' or 'fastboot devices' didnt show my phone anymore - or anything.
Tried to do the same with phone in recovery mode and got the same result.
Can anyone help me?
Did I miss anything?
Ps. My Bootloader is locked and i have no intention of unlocking it yet.

fastboot flash /system/bin/partlink supersu.tgz
fastboot oem start_partitioning
fastboot flash /system/bin/logcat installer
fastboot oem stop_partitioning
The thing is that fastboot doesnt recognize my device after the 'adb reboot bootloader' and the message 'waiting for the device' gets stuck.
If you look into the thread you'll see that the 7th answer (user orlapalm) has the same unsolved issue.

Guess the solution is used somebody elses PC with Windows since there's no way to use Ubuntu on This phone.

Try this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash /system/bin/resize2fs magic
fastboot flash /system/bin/tune2fs busybox
fastboot flash /system/bin/partlink supersu.tgz
fastboot oem start_partitioning
fastboot flash /system/bin/logcat installer
fastboot oem stop_partitioning
Save as root.sh and try again.

Thanks but will not work.
I know how a script works but seems that Zf2 needs the Fasboot v1.0.32 - Witch i dont find anywhere.
Fastboot v1.0.31 (installed with apt-get install android-tools-fastboot) doesnt recognize the Zenfone 2 on Ubuntu.

Maybe because the USB device is not recognized, what does lsusb say before and after the reboot in bootloader?

lsusb (before reboot)
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0b05:5601 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.
lsusb (after reboot)
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0b05:4daf ASUSTek Computer, Inc. Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 (Fastboot)
Fastboot cmds:
~$ fastboot continue
< waiting for device >
~$ fastboot reboot
< waiting for device >
Ps. After this I saw that device code is different after (0b05:4daf) and before (0b05:5601) reboot so i added the permission for this 'new dvice' in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and now fastboot seems to recognize my phone.
