I have a really strange problem here. I've flashed my radio in the past using fastboot. My config hasn't changed.
When I go into the android sdk and run adb devices. I get one device.
When I go to run any fastboot command it hangs at 'waiting for device'
When I put fastboot devices, nothing comes up.
I'd appreciate any help
Hi DarkShadowAy
You plug in the device and go to fastboot?
If yes, then try going into fastboot FIRST. Then only plug in your cable. You will see Fastboot change to Fastboot USB.
From there, flash your desired radio version.
Hi superstick,
I typed in:
PHP:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Got the prompt 'waiting for device' and I then plugged in the USB. Nothing changed unfortunately.
Just to make sure, did you boot into the bootloader and does it show "FASTBOOT USB"?
Yes that error mostly means that you haven't selected the fastboot option in the bootloader. You have to select the fastboot option before flashing.

I'll take the noob award of 2011 please.
I was baffled as I was in fastboot. When you posted that I thought why doesn't it say USB? It doesn't say USB because the cable wasn't plugged in
My desk's quite messy and I didn't realise the ipod data cable was in.
Thanks
Hi,
I have wanted to try CM10 for some time, and unlocked my Arc S for the first time today. I followed the guides at freexperiaproject, so it seems that I was able to unlock the bootloader successfully. After it was unlocked I rebooted and all my user data was reset (as expected).
I downloaded "FXP150-cm-10-20121208-UNOFFICIAL-anzu" from rapidgator and "gapps-jb-20121011-signed" wich I found at the cyanogenmod wiki. I put both the zip files in the root of my SD card. When I try running "fastboot flash boot boot.img" it says "sending 'boot' <5616 KB>...", but nothing more happens. I let it stay for several minutes and I have to push Control+C to abort it. I also extracted "boot.img" to the platform-tools folder under android-sdk.
In the SDK Manager I have installed "Android SDK Tools", "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Google USB Driver".
Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything more I should do before running fastboot? Sorry if I have missed a basic step here.

First, copy the file .img to the fastboot folder, if the file system.img means you have to run the command with the command: fastboot> fastboot flash system system.img, if the file userdata.img means that the command should be fastboot> fastboot flash userdata userdata.img .if the file xxxxboot.img mean form the command fastboot> fastboot flash boot xxxxboot.img
Iam using google translate.so,I hope I helped you and I hope you understand

The file from the zip file is called "boot.img". I have copied it to the fastboot folder, and I am running "fastboot flash boot boot.img", as the "how to-" says.
Reinstall drivers

did you make the phone enter fastboot mode?
you should run "fastboot devices" to see.
Thanks for the replies!
I tried on a different computer this morning, and here it worked immediately. Not sure what was wrong on the other one, because I installed the same SDK packages and USB driver. Installing ROM at the moment.
[Edit]: Everything seems to be working fine. Very happy with CM10 at the moment

I just tried to install cm 10 on Arc S mobile...
It's bootloader is unlocked & rooted...
but when I try to connect it in flashboot mode & In flashtool Press "Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB) ,
It show error that "This action needs a connected device in ADB mode"
what I have to do to flash boot.img ?
I attached 2 screenshots of connecting & error....
device is connected in flashmode , I also attached blue noti. LED pic which on when connect...
How I connect device & flash boot.img ???
Can I flash that kernel directly by clicking "select kernel to flash" ?
& Why it is showing ADB error when I click "reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB) ??
In advance thank you...

i dont like flashing kernel by flashtool, as far i done several 2011 devices the best method allways was over adb:good: & it pretty easy.
download android sdk & open the exe. leave all like it is (only may make sure google usb drivers are checked) & press on install.
after install place the boot.img here: ...\sdk\platform-tools
2. connect device into fastboot mode (blue led)
3.click in a empty space in the folder. now HOLD SHIFT & right click, choose ''open command line window here'' (<-- or sth like that sorry my setup is german)
4. enter 'fastboot devices' --> your device should be recognized as a bunch of numbers.
5. flash kernel by entering ''fastboot flash boot boot.img'' it tells you all done.
6. ''fastboot reboot''
7. enjoy new kernel
Please Help,
I think my cousin has bricked my phone, I have tried everything and the phone will die soon as it wont switch offf.
Basically my phone has rooted and also the bootscreen unlocked, now my cousin didn't make a backup of my initial stock rom. so I am kinda stuck.
When I put the phone into boot via Power Button and Down Volume its comes to the white boot screen. When I Fastboot USB mode it says "SD Checking, Failed to open usb master", so how can i put this stock rom I found if my pc can't even detect the phone storage.
When I also go into my ClockworkRecovery and go into Mounts and Storage Menu > Mount USB storage, I get "unable to ums lunfile (no usch file or........ I thought maybe I could get the pc to recognize the phone sotrage via that way so I can put a ROM on the phone.
Phone has no ROM on it atm, I am slowly giving up.
update to the latest cwm or twrp then try again

oh and and usb master mode thing is because you have the cable plugged in when starting bootloader. pull usb cable out before starting bootloader and plug it back in when it loads
How do I update the CWM with no OS installed

I think it is beyond being fixed my friend, when I power up the phone without the cable then I put it in once is have pressed the power key for the fastboot, the phone is still not detected. when the cable is plugged in on the fastboot it shows "fastboot USB" so it must be doing something?
Is there anyway someone would be really kind and use a voip and direct me or is the phone just totally dead now?
Ok, you can get into bootloader so your phone is not bricked. You are rooted, correct ?
You have a fastboot folder on your PC with the necessary files in it ?

Hi I have HTC ONE X after custom rom has lost imei number, bootloader relocked, android probably deleted and can't connect like normal with Laptop "UNKNOWN DEVICE" becouse all identification numers are 0, USB MASS Storage unavailable
Any ideas for bring him back?
Make sure you are in the "fastboot" folder that is on your desktop. In other words, the fastboot folder window is highlighted.
Hold the "shift" key on your keyboard and at the same time right click on empty space in the fastboot folder. Now you will get a menu, click on "Open command prompt here".
You should now have a fastboot terminal window and you can send commands to your phone using fastboot.
As "nogotaclue", said download ClockworkMod Recovery from Here . Put the downloaded recovery image in your fastboot folder. I would rename the downloaded recovery to "recovery_cwm". I do this because I find it easier to distinguish between recoveries that way.
Now go into your fastboot terminal window and type " fastboot flash recovery recovery_cwm.img " without the quote marks and then hit "enter".
Once you get a message saying that it succeeded type
" fastboot erase cache " hit "enter"
Now power off your phone reboot into bootloader and select recovery. If all is well you will be looking at Clockwork mod recovery 5.8.4.0.
Now you just need to get a ROM or a nandroid backup and you should be good to go....

I do not know why and I would not concern myself with it either.
As long as you can boot into recovery and mount usb storage then you can place a rom or a nandroid on your device and get up and running again.

Well I can enter the boot screen so thats a sign I guess, I am just waiting to charge the phone a little then do the process
So I'll recap what I have to do
1.)Hold Power Button + Bottom volume controller
2).Enters the BOOTSCREEN
3.)Scroll to FASTBOOT and press the power button on the FASTBOOT then (FASTBOOT USB) should appear
4.)Navigate to my C:\Users\Jon\Desktop\fastboot folder where fastboot.exe is and the recovery_cwm.img is
5.)Shift + Right Click open command prompt here blah blah
6.)In the CMD window type "fastboot flash recovery recovery_cwm.img"
7.)If succeeded, then the following "fastboot erase cache" hit enter power off phone.
8.)BOOTLOADER, recovery and CWM should be there.
I have a HTC One X Integra H3G before all this I was on the 4.1.0 version of the HTC, is there a link of H3G roms

You are pretty much there. When you have confirmed that you can reboot into recovery, power off and then reboot into bootloader / fastboot usb and from the fastboot terminal window type " fastboot getvar main".
Also type "fastboot oem readcid"
Post the result of those commands please

I am having problem flashing kernel through fastboot.I get an error "unknow partition .......img" when flashing kernel via fastboot from my laptop.Flashing kernel via my desktop is fine though.Since i am having problem with my desktop i wanted to use laptop to flash kernel to be safe.I have installed drivers,flashtool drivers,fastboot driver,google usb driver,android sdk etc.My laptop is 64 bit windows 7.In device manager it shows android device >> adb device inteface.
Fastboot shows device number with "fastboot devices" and i can reboot my phone as well with "fastboot reboot" command but when i tun fastboot flash xxx.img it gives "unknow partition .."error.I have tried different kernels to flash but can't flash them.However same kernel flashing command works on my desktop with 32 bit win7.
My device is bootloader unlocked and i have flahsed many kernels and ROMs via my desktop.What might be missing to install in my laptop?
Anybody around to help solve this problem? When i connect my device is fastboot mode(bootloader). It recognizes it has 'S1 fastboot drive",there is also ADB android device shown in device manager.I can run fastboot commands like "fastboot device","fastboot reboot".They work fine but i can't flash kernel for some reason.I have my kernel file places in same folder as fastboot.exe and running command prompt from same folder.
What might i have been doing wrong?

What are the commands you used?
Rename the kernel if you have to since fastboot cannot read spaces.

Thankx for the reply.I have tried to flash different kernels which i have flashed from my desktop.In fact there are more the 10+ kernels which i can flash successfully from desktop.Kernels and fastboot files are all in same folder and i have copied them to my laptop.The names are like boot.img, 5_4fusion_2.img, LuPuS_anzu_jBv12-ram.img etc as they are when i download them.
i think fastboot is working since fastboot devices shows my device serial and fastboot reboot reboots my device but somehow i can't flahs kernel.i even installed adb intaller from this http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ng-fast-adb-fastboot-and-driver-installation/ but still having problem.
If my computer crashed during kernel flash, does it brick my mobile?

It shouldn't, you will just need to reconnect the phone to the computer in fastboot mode and flash the kernel again. Did you try using flashtool in fastboot mode rather than command line?

"fastboot flash boot yourboot.img" was right command."boot" was missing from my command but "fastboot flash yourboot.img" was working on my desktop.Is it due to 64 bit OS i have to add "boot" in command?

Try Clicking on the lightning bolt (Flash) and then choose the fastboot mode... From here on out you can hotboot or flash your new kernel. BUT ... make sure you click on reboot into fastboot mode first (ADB)
Let me know if it worked for you

Nope, it is not due to 64 bit OS, it is like this for every OS (at least for Windows PC, not sure about Linux). The command tells computer, how the process must be done.
If you use
Code:
fastboot flash boot.img
then it is understood as fastboot has to flash nothing to partition named "boot.img". Using
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
is the proper way, then fastboot knows, that it must flash boot.img to 'boot' partition.

Hey. I was using a 5.0.1 GPE Rom on my M8 and decided to update both the firmware and the rom to 5.1
I Backed everything up and decided to, as usual, use adb to sideload the firmware to the phone. I did and everything went as expected. After I finished I rebooted to android. I get NFC service stopped working, System UI stopped working and I can't interact with the phone. My thought, well let's go to the recovery and flash a rom I have in my external SD card. No recovery to be found just a android guy belly up with a red ! sign on his belly.
So I thought, I lost my recovery due to the firmware flash, I had happened before, So i went online found a TWRP recovery and went to flash it. Reboot to fastboot USB mode, but then in adb I cannot see the device at all. "adb devices" shows and empty list. I tried my windows 7 laptop to the same result.
Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me, I'm kinda freaking out at this point and am running out of options
