Hello all, thank you for reading my post. I cant seem to find the att stock rom image anywhere. Samsungupdates.com tells me that the file is not found and I cant find it anywhere on the forum. Would anybody out there happen to have a link? Any help is greatly appreciated. Im looking for it to help unbrick someones phone. It wont boot at all. But if I plug it into my computer and direct the drivers to the adb drivers I got when I installed adb, point it to the fastboot driver, the computer reconizes the phone. but if i go into cmd and type fastboot devices its just blank. or if i type fastboot reboot it says device not found. if i plug it in without the battery in the led light will stay red. the computer sees the phone, but nothing. if anyone could help i would be so greatful!
I think this is what your looking for. You will need to sign up for an account (its free) in order to download.

Hey! I'm not completely new at this, I have a little knowledge as regards to rooting and and tweaking different things. But I'm having an issue that I just don't understand how to fix, and I can't find any help on google. So I came here.
BTW, I have Windows XP 32bit.
I'm trying to install the ADB files so the computer can recognize the phone. Before Ive done anything(nothing installed or changed), I can plug my phone into the computer and the phone gives me the option to charge, sync, use as disc drive, or internet sharing. So, I don't know if maybe thats all I need.
I downloaded the adb files for windows from here http:/ /htcevohacks . com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-android-sdk-and-adb-drivers-for-htc-evo-4g/. I hope its not a vista/win 7 file...
I installed the correct "SDK platform Android 2.1 AP17" and "usb driver revision 3" as the instructions read. I shut the phone off and boot into recovery mode, and then plug the USB in. Nothing happens. Nothing on the computer or the phone change. I don't find any "ADB" in the device manager, and no window pops up asking about updating drivers. I do exactly as the instructions on that site say, but nothing happens.
If the phone is on normally and in "Debugging Mode", I can plug the phone in and the Device Manager shows the "ADB". Also, the window pops up to ask about updating drivers. So I've tried going through both; I specify a location, which for me is c:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver. It searches for a few seconds, and then says it cant find the right driver for my device.
I really want to start doing some things with this phone, but im stuck! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
read this whole thread
that should help. hopefully
and I think I've just recently read that its not really necessary to install the adb files?

thanks, I'll take a look at it now!
So short story, my galaxy nexus's power button doesnt work anymore. It stopped working for no reason yesterday, yet when I plug it into the charger the charging screen comese on. I want to be able to power my phone on so that I can get all the information onto my computer so that I can easily transfer stuff to my new phone (replacement gnex coming tomorrow) Is there a way I can turn on my phone without using the power button? Any help would be much appreciated.
If you've got the SDK or just ADB available, you should be able to use the command of "adb reboot" to get the device to boot up. Could be wrong.
Can someone guide me in the direction I need so I can do this adb reboot?

Download the ADB file (usually bundled with Fastboot) from any one of these guides that requires it. Or just Google for it.
Unzip all of that, use command line to get into it's directory, hook your phone up over USB, and type:
Code:
adb reboot
Again, not sure if this will work when the phone is off. If it will work, I think you had to have USB debugging turned on. Its not working for me currently on OSX. So I don't think it will. Maybe there's a different ADB command that can help you.
Its a long shot. There are probably better options.
I'd agree with adb reboot if your computer will recognize it from this mode...
Use the guide linked in my sig to set up ADB if you need.
I'm a newbie to all this, but I don't think anyone here mentioned the necessary step of downloading and installing your phone's specific ADB drivers to your computer.
So, to recap:
Download your phone's ADB drivers on to your computer and install them.
Plug your phone in.
Go to your command prompt and type 'adb reboot'.
I think. I'm new, as you can see by my post count and thanks meter.
I tried to adb reboot. Unfortunately the galaxy nexus cant be recognized when the phone is off. Disappointing but not the end of the world. Thanks for everyones help.
If adb works in download mode you could make a jig to get you there.

hi, my brother's kindle fire is stuck in fastboot after trying to root it and we have tried everything we could find from change usb.ini's tochanging the driver assoicated with it to using KFU to getting back into nornmal boot mode, none of which worked, adb wont reconigze it though the drivers for it to are installed and setup, thus my computer reads the kindle but we just cant get adb to see it, im sure if we can get adb to read it we can fix it from there, but we've tried just about every, and have tried everything that we have found, any help would be greatly appreciated, it has stock rom, install unknown apps checked, wil turn off and on just gets stuck at the kindle fire text (so im assuming its stuck in fastboot and its not a bad bootloader thoug not completely sure)

Assuming you've tried the obvious KFU methods of putting the device back to normal bootmode...
If you are in fastboot mode, adb won't recognize the device and it won't respond to adb commands. You must use fastboot commands to reset the bootmode back to normal. The adb_usb.ini file is only used by adb, so manipulating that file isn't going to do you any good either.
See if this guide helps you...

It's important to have the device already connected to the computer as the device puts itself into fastboot mode. You will not be able to issue fastboot commands to it otherwise. Use the guide to make sure the KF is actually putting itself into fastboot mode. Then verify the interface and hardware details given.

thank you for your reply, i have tried fastboot commands as well but i will take a look at the link you provided,and will post if anything helps
ok i have tried the fastboot commands from that post and they have not helped, it stops at waiting for device i tried all 4 commands listed just in case, and all come up with the same thing, would this factory cable be somethine that would help. if so how reliable is it?
A factory cable puts the device into fastboot mode. If the device is already in fastboot mode, it's not going to help you at that point. I suggest you reread my last post and go over that fastboot guide carefully. Figure out what the device is doing and how your computer sees it.
well i tried for the hell of it to see if it would do anything to install the twrp recovery and well now the power light it orange and the screen wont turn on, i apologize if this isnt any issue, as ive stated this isnt mine its my brothers, and i dont quite know how to use it or what indicates whaton it, but i will re-read the post you linked but i didnt see anything of any use that i havent already tried
ok i just re-read it all, and im thinking the shorting trick is my only option, as my hardware ids do not match the ones stating its in fastboot (according to the article), if there are any better suggestions that would be great , thank you again for your responses
EDIT: it seems that installing the twrp fixed our problem, it just booted !!, thank you so much for your help
So this morning i thought it would be a great idea to revert back to stock.
i was following the KDZ lg flash tool however while it was flashing (got to about 2%) i stupidly knocked the phone and the usb cable came out....
so now when i turn my phone on it goes to a black screen with
Fastboot mode started
---reset---
---port charge--
i have tried going into download mode again but it still goes into this fastboot mode.
i found a lot of threads on this such as
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/tutorial-fixing-fastboot-mode-started-t2995854
this got me to install adb/fastboot which i did via
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
however when i try and run through fastboot it just comes up as waiting for device
i have attempted to install lg drivers for this but still nothing.
inside device manager it comes up as
other devices - android?
so clearly the computer is recongnising it, i just need a better driver.
I have the ldf ready to go, if only i could get it to recognise the fastboot command...
anyone able to help, i realise there is a lot of information on the web for this, after extensive research everyone seems to suddenly get into download mode each time. which is something i cannot go. and no recovery doesnt work either.
other things to note, just to save questions..
i am running LG D855 16gb.
when i attempt to go into recovery it comes up with the option to wipe device, but when i follow through menu comes back to fastboot mode started.
i attempted to install lg pc suite in hope that it would suddenly pick up the device and go through the fix upgrade errors (to no luck)
so to clarify, i cannot get into recovery, or download mode. my screen is sat on fastboot mode started.
i am running windows 8.1 although i have attempted to plug into a laptop with ubuntu but same story.
any suggestions? i have also seen a through about jtag...but i dont have any screwdrivers at this point so trying to avoid that.
thank you for reading, kind regards
Anyone out there that has any idea on how to fix?
im convinced i just need to turn the "other device - android" into something that can be recognised by adb, but other then the stock lg drivers i dont have anything else.
help?
FIXED - figured it out, i plugged it into ubuntu again and noticed that when it was connected it came up under fastboot with "accepting commands"
i then put my laf.img file into my home folder and
opened terminal
sudo su <enter>
fastboot boot laf.img
phone then went into download mode
as i didnt have any tools installed on ubuntu i then unplugged and plugged into my windows laptop and ran LG Flash tool 2014 and flashed my kdz.
hope this helps anyone who has the problem in future

First question........Have you ever flashed a rom before? If not, I wouldn't try this until you read the Stickys at the beginning of this forum, General Forum and, Development Forum. This will save you a lot of headaches in the long run. I can not guarantee that you will not brick your phone but, it will help you to not make some of the more common mistakes.
Second question(Two parts actually)............Do you have htc sync and drivers installed on your PC? Also, do have the proper ADB files install on your PC?
Third question..........Have you searched the forum on the process? There is a lot of information on how to do this.
In addition without any information on what version of M8 you have, it will be hard to point you in the right direction. Also, the guys here like to see that you have exhausted all your resources before you ask for help. Many of us have done tons of research to get this far and are glad to share information. But you have to do some of the leg work first. (Hope you understand and don't take offense. That is not my intention.)
If you have the htc drivers, htc sync, and proper ADB files already on your PC. Also make sure you have developer options and usb debugging enabled on your phone. Connect your phone to your PC. Once this is done, open your command prompt and cd (change disk) to your adb location. Then type adb devices into the prompt. This is to verify that your are connected. If you are connected it will give you a series of numbers and letters identifying your phone. If it does not give you this, install htc sync w/drivers and download the most up to date adb zip file you can find and extract it to the root of your C drive. Also, rename it ADB. Once your phone is identified in the command prompt, type adb reboot bootloader. Wait for your phone to get into bootloader mode. Once there, select fastboot and wait for your phone to connect. The screen should say FASTBOOT USB if connected. Once connected, then in the command prompt type fastboot getvar all and press enter. This will tell you everything about your phone. Cut that and paste here leaving out your IMEI and serial number. From there someone can begin to help you. I hope this provided some help..........Good Luck
