[Q] Fastboot not recognized? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
After my phone was stuck in a bootloop i've been trying to reflash the recovery which i'm not able to access.
I have used revolutionary and have been using MIUI for a while, further details:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
I'm trying to fix this on my moms pc and I notice there's some problems with the adb/fastboot since it gives me an error of a missing AdbWinApi.dll when trying to flash the recovery from android-sdk/tools.
However, the error does not appear when I run fastboot from \platform-tools. Could that be correct? If I do, the command box is waiting for the device and seems to be stuck there. when using the command adb devices, my desire is not listed.
What am I doing wrong here? Thnx!

and fastboot drivers installed?
download here
phone must be in fastboot (power+back button)
try: fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery.img= path/filename of your recovery

Can't access recovery after flash with fastboot
Awesome! thnx I had been installing drivers, but apparently the right one wasn't there.
Unfortunately, next problem... (is it ok to ask it here?) I've flashed the recovery, but the bootloop still exist. Is the S-on option of bortaks guide safe to try next? or are there other (better) alternatives?
edit: never mind! the ruu indeed worked pfieuw... thnx for the help!

glad to hear that, enjoy

i cant see my device with adb on linux.
last time i had flash the hboot from the phone!
i use kubuntu 12.04 with 3.4 kernel.
can you give me any help?

adb works in custom recovery/rom with debugging on, fastboot command in fastboot mode (power +back button to power on phone or reboot to bootloader from custom rom with APM)

Moving to Q&A
You have to flash recovery with fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (put recovery.img in same folder as fastboot)
You could also try running the RUU while booted in fastboot (just connect USB, and run RUU). I believe I did this once... Not 100% sure if it was fastboot or bootloader, just check them both...

When you want to flash ruu, your phone has to be fastboot mode, otherwise it won't get recognized.

Cannot Access Recovery / Nandroid

PHONE: ROOTED HTC DESIRE GSM S-OFF'D Running cm7
Used ROM manager to update Clockwork Recovery in anticipation of installing the newest CM7 which came out yesterday.
Now i can't reboot into recovery just sticks on the splash screen even when i try and access it through FASTBOOT or by turning on holding down BACK + POWER
There is an article here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...to-reboot-to-recovery/page__p__4343#entry4343
I just need a little help understanding these, particularly option 1
"Solution 1. - Fastboot
Prerequisites:
Dream/G1 devices with DangerSPL, all other devices (MT3G 32A/32B) with an engineering SPL (S-OFF in HBOOT mode).
Users with SDK tools set up.
How to:
Reboot to bootloader holding Back+Power or Vol.down+Power or whatever combination applies to your device.
Attach your device to a USB port and open up a Terminal/Command prompt of choice
Navigate to the folder where your recovery image is, then flash it like so:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_of_choice.img
Reboot to recovery to verify your work. "
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not sure how to do this, is this done through SDK??
Attach your device to a USB port and open up a Terminal/Command prompt of choice
Is this something i get from Unrevoked??
fastboot flash recovery recovery_of_choice.img
Sorry for being basic.
Theres a fastboot faq linked in my signature. Tells you all you need to know.
Another thing, NEVER follow instructions for other phones. EVER
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks RootSU, looks useful. What is it that i actually need to do though? Do i need to reflash something that i did during the root process or just set up adb in order to try and access recovery that way?
Really appreciate your help here.
Thanks
Ben
Forget adb, its something totally different.
Just set up your PC to work with fastboot as per the FAQ.
Download the recovery you want to flash (Ensure it is a desire version)
Boot into fastboot on the phone (Back and power from off)
Then use the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img
Its all in the faq.
Managed to get it up and running, downloaded clockwork recovery then followed the instructions here:
Thanks

[Q] Help! Can't go into recovery mode with Desire Z hboot‏ (G2)

I have a Tmobile G2 rooted running Gingervillian (gingerbread 2.3.1) and I tried to install the Desire z hboot to get the Sense ui.
I followed the steps here, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZfSWLlvPg"
HERES THE PROCEDURE OF WHAT I DID:
After updating the PC10IMG.zip (Desire Z hboot) folder to the root of my G2, I was stuck on the HTC logo screen after updating. So I followed what the guy said in the video, deleted the PC10IMG file in my SD card then rebooted my phone.
After rebooting my phone, I was booted back same rom. So I flash/recovery my phone through Rom Manager and tried rebooting my phone to clockwork mod recovery mode.
After rebooting, I didn't go to Clockwork Mod but to FASTBOOT screen? I select "bootloader" and it goes to a quick load that says something like "SD loading, no image or wrong image". I select "Recovery" then it goes to the HTC logo for a split second then I'm back to FASTBOOT screen again.
This is the info on the fasboot screen? don't know if that'll help:
Vision pvt eng S-off
Hboot-0.84.2000 (pc1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.02.15_m2
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010, 15:65:38
So now, I don't know what to do and my questions are:
1.) Is there a way to go back to the G2 hboot?
2. Can I still fix this and procedure on and install new roms on recovery clockwork mode, using Desire Z hboot? (as the video did)
Please help a brother out I'm still a noob and still learning. If this is in the wrong place, please move it to the correct place.
Anyone? if it seems confusing, please ask questions or if I need to provide more information. I really need help with this. Any suggestions will help.

would any PP99IMG.zip file work? And do I basically put it in the SD's root and put it into the boot menu to update the file?
Thanks
by the way, is this compatible with G2s?
don´t put the pp99img.zip on your sd !
do something different:
download a recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
be sure to remove any pc10img.zip or so from your sdcard. then put your phone in fastboot mode (power & tp-wake) connect it to pc and flash the recovery through fastboot by typing: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that you should be able to enter recovery. be sure to wipe before installing a new rom...

I'm assuming I need to do ADB? If so, Is there a way for Mac ios

Yes, you can run adb on a Mac. See the link to my adb guide in my signature (assuming you're not viewing from the XDA app, which doesn't show the full sig).
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
Okay, just to make it clear (I am a "step by step" guy when it comes to technical computer/phone stuff.), from my understanding:
1. Download the recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision) and put it in the root of my SD card.
2. Delete any pc10img.zip files from SD card.
3. Turn phone off and then turn phone onto FASTBOOT mode by holding power/volume down/camera or power and tp-wake? (Btw what's tp-wake? and during this process, is the phone in fastboot screen mode while I'm about to type the "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img"?
4. Connect to computer, open up terminal (Mac) and do the ADB process and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Wipe clean and install new rom in recovery mode? (Clockwork Mod recovery mode?)
PLEASE correct my steps or add in any steps that I'm missing. I bought my phone rooted so I never went through these steps before. Anyways please correct me, I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is already.
anyone can review my steps?
good morning
ad step 1: don´t put it onto your sd; put it into the adb tool folder on your pc !
ad step 3: tp-wake = the square button at the bottom of your phone (the one that acts like a mouse); to enter fastboot mode press power & tp-wake
...the phone should be in fastboot mode while typing the command.
before you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" type "fastboot devices" and look if your phone shows up... if so go ahead with flashig the recovery (by the way, you may have to rename the recovery file)
step 4 and 5 look fine...
good luck
okay, I will try it in a little bit here.
In FASTBOOT USB mode, it wont recognize my device but when my device is fully on, adb works.
I get when I type "flashboot devices" (while the phone is on FASTBOOT) in terminal and get:
"-bash: fastboot: command not found"
By the way, I renamed the downloaded flash to "recovery.img" and put that file in the "platform-tools". Don't know if that'll work.
The "fastboot" command should be on your PC in the same folder as the "adb" command. Where did you get adb from, did you install the SDK and platform tools, or something cut-down ?
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
hm... that means that you do not have fastboot installed. maybe google for fastboot on mac, because i have a linux system... so i can´t help you in that point.
other thing you could do is following this guide (it´s a pc10img.zip with dz hboot and clockwork recovery):
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
but first i would try the fastboot method - it´s safer.
Okay, I got the fastboot devices to read my phone. But it cannot load my recovery.img?
This is what got when I typed in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
rename it to recovery and try again...
It's not loading the img file for some reason..

[Q] HTC Desire HD upgrade to Jellybean gone wrong

I've hit a brick wall on this and really need some help.
Last night I unlocked the bootloader on my HTC Desire HD.
I proceeded to the steps on Team Android page
Up to setp 10 everything was fine but when I went to RECOVERY, I just got a red exclamation.
ClockworkMod Recovery was not installed. I can't proceed with the JellyBean setup.
The phone cannot boot up as normal. I just get a blank screen. However, I can go into bootloader mode.
I tried a factory reset - no joy.
What should I do now? From hours of reading I've seen advice about flashing recovery and flashing rom. I don't have a recovery.img or a boot.img (other than the jellybean boot.img).
I don't want to mess this up any more. Would really appreciate any help I can get.
In Bootloader it says
****** UNLOCKED *******
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
firstly you must download this TWRP recovery .img file..then turn on your phone into bootloader mode..then select FASTBOOT..then connecting your phone to pc until indicator in your phone is "FASTBOOT-USB" then copied the "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ace.img" file to your adb folder..that are the same place as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe file on your pc...then open cmd from there..
and then typing "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ace.img" ..after that you can continued typing "fastboot reboot-bootloader" done...now you already had custom recovery on your phone..
now you can install/ flashing custom rom from the recovery but don't forget always flashing boot.img that are extracted from the rom.zip that you are installed through FASTBOOT..with typing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then type.. "fastboot reboot"
done...
hope this help..
