Hi, I have just started to modify its arc up from the start I have a big problem. I am running Windows 8, and when I want to launch fastboot.exe or the Android SDK command prompt window closes immediately, I have installed the USB drivers but with this I can not help, maybe someone knows what can I do?
Did you right click the folder and press shift at the same time? This will show a menu with the option "open command window here". Select that and you will go to cmd within fastboot directory.
This exe file is not meant to be executed as a normal program, it takes commands from cmd so you will also need to know a bit about console application and the commands.

How do you open a command window in windows XP. I've tried the shift right click on the tools folders without any success, any suggestions?
thanks,
Start, run, then type cmd
The new version of SDK has changed a few things within the file system, so I'm just writing something here to show how it will work fast for everyone.
1. Install Android SDK
2. Update Android SDK through the program first.
3. Go to "Android\android-sdk\tools" (or wherever you've installed the sdk-tools) and copy "fastboot".
4. Paste "fastboot" in to "platform-tools"
5. Once that's done, to get directly to "Android\android-sdk\" to run ADB and fastboot without having any errors (or command prompt irritations) press SHIFT then right click "Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" and select "Open command window here".
6. Then it's just the case of pasting your .img file in to the "Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" folder, and you're good to go! (for example, in command prompt type: fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img)
Dan.
The reason why I have put this here is because I have had trouble trying to sort out the new SDK and I in fact had trouble with "missing files" within the folders. They weren't missing, it's just that the SDK folders have been cleaned up.
Follow this and you won't go wrong to flash anything through fastboot .
Dan
Please format your first post correctly (like second post), otherwise it's horrible to read.
I guess "old" sdk will still work properly?
Hello, I've been trying to bootload my XPlay but I'm having problems with it. I've followed the directions from both mills and ashergray and got the unlock key from them as well (btw, thanks to the both of you for all the help). When I get to Step 10, where you have to run/open fastboot, it closes instantly (the cmd prompt) and I can't finish doing the unlocking of the bootload. I've tried the ubuntu boot and that didn't either. Can someone help or guide me with the problem that I'm having, Thank you for your time and have a great day.

You have to open a windows command promt not the one inside the fastboot folder.
1. Open windows cmd promt.
2. Open fastboot folder and copy the path.
3. Go to your new cmd window and type *cd* and press space once and paste your path and hit enter (type cd is without *)
4. Connect your phone in fastbootmode, when you see a blue light on the power button type this in the cmd window:
fastboot devices (enter)
Then you should get a *list of devices* and under that a number. If there's a number your phone is detected and you can proceed with unlocking. If not you might need to setup some drivers.
5. Unlock your phone if 4 was a yes.
Hopes this helps you

Just a few extra tips on top of dousans excellent advice.
If your using Windows Vista/7, you can hold shift, and right click on an empty space in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Choose open command prompt here. This will open a command prompt straight to the right folder.
Also you can open a command window and just drag and drop fastboot.exe into it.
Thank you guys, I will try this in the morning, I really appreciate the help and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask

I don't think you can do it on XP
I have a LTE gnex. I am having problems getting my bootloader unlocked.
If I attempt to use fastboot commands at all I get the error 'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'
If I attempt to use adb devices while I am in fastboot it says "List of devices attached." If I use the adb devices command when my phone is turned on it lists my device like normal.
I feel like I am so close, but yet so far. Any ideas?
EDIT: I'm attempting this on XP, and I am on 4.0.2
I am no expert in these matters, but a few things come to mind:
1) have you got all the proper drivers installed?
2) in the cmd prompt, are you in the directory where fastboot.exe is located?
Have you followed this thread? I'd recommend downloading superboot, extract the contents, go into that folder, and then use: 'fastboot-windows oem unlock'. That should definitely do the trick. Good luck.
EDIT: I don't specifically know all the differences for the GSM/LTE/CDMA versions, but the above should be okay for all versions. To root, and install recovery, on CDMA versions, check out this google+ post.
EDIT2: Also, this thread may be worth looking into.
Assumptions:
- your drivers are loaded properly
- file names are: adb.exe and fastboot.exe
1) open the folder w/ ADB and Fastboot located in them.
2) shift + right click in any open space in the folder - choose: "open command window here"
3) type in (minus the quotes): "adb reboot bootloader"
4) the phone will reboot in the bootloader screen
5) type in: "fastboot oem unlock"
6) phone will ask you are you sure? - use the volume buttons to make the selection say "yes" and press the power button.
7) the phone will unlock and restart. the restart can take as long as 10 minutes or a tad bit longer... do NOT be alarmed!
if this doesnt work for you... either your drivers arent fully installed or your adb/fastboot programs are duds.

just open command prompt manually and then go to folder. Eg 'start' -> 'run' -> type 'cmd' and hit enter. Then cd c:\path to folder\ etc.
edit: plus, i gave you a few links to other threads. I really recommend to follow the steps described there if you haven't so far...

It's a command line program, so you have to open a command prompt to the directory fastboot is in
An easy way to get command prompt to the correct directory is to hold shift and right click on an empty space in the folder (make sure no files are selected), then an "open command window here" option can be selected
no offence but if you fail at loading a CLI program then maybe you should re consider unlocking your device. but if you know what your doing and this was a genuine silly mistake then feel free to unlock it.

The shift - click method only works in Windows 7, I think.
But you can also open up a CMD window and use the CD command (Change directory). Type in cd and then drag and drop the folder containing the fastboot files in the CMD window and then press Enter.
