Morning.
No doubt I am missing something dumb out here but I'm having problems here. Following HTC Dev instructions to the letter but when I open CMD it says C:\Windows\system32 NOT C:\Users\Admin\cd \Android
Tried typing in fastboot devices and just get not recognized. I've installed SDK, HTC Sync, JAVA etc.
Any help would be gratefully received
Navigate to the folder where also the fastboot exe file is located, open the command prompt directly in there and type the command again.

Hello everyone i am having troubles installing adb on my laptop and i need it to flash a splash screen on my mytouch slide so it can match the rom i have made for it. I installed the adnroid sdk to where it needs to be by downloading adb for dummies lol. Except when i open cmd and run adb it says its not an internal batch orrecognized file or whatever but when i type adb.exe on command prompt it shows everything about adb. So can anyone please help me thanks.

I'm trying to piece together information here. ADB for me is in my C:\, so when opening CMD prompt, I first type "cd/" (without quotes) then "cd AndroidSDK/tools". To get a list of ADB's commands, type "adb help". Maybe you're not using the proper syntax. I base this off the statement you made that when you type adb.exe it shows the adb commands, and command syntax usage.
Also note that changing your splash screen you must first S-OFF your phone. Here's a guide on how to do so
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798168
That's the tricky part though, easy part is flashing your custom boot image.
File you will need: View attachment Boot_images.zip
Once you have the 320x480 boot image you want, open "CreateG1Splash", select your boot image, and convert it with this program. Once converted the new file will show in the same folder as CreateG1Splash, named mysplash.rgb565. Move this file to your ADB tools folder. Open CMD prompt and point CMD prompt to your AndroidSDK\tools folder.
Then boot phone into bootloader, then select fastboot. Plug the phone to CPU via USB, and type, "fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565". Reboot phone to see change.
Hope this helps!
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?
I am new to fast boot.
To unlock my bootloader I have downloaded all drivers and software.
After connecting phone in fastboot mode (pluging cable holding menu button).
when I click shift+right click I dont find command prompt.
I am on Win XP sp2 32bit
I did cross check in flash tools, It says phone is connected in fast boot.
please help...
All drivers are installed.
This problem comes from using winxp, you should take other devices which are using win7 to unlock bootloader if you have no idea with msdos

I have had the same problem but not easy to explain that, so finding a win7 device is the best solution for newbies like you
Sent from my LT18i using XDA App
okie!
will do it with win 7
That's not necessary at all.
In winxp, just the hit windows button + R at the same time, type cmd, and use the command "cd" to "change directory".
"Cd.." Means going a folder up, if you type "cd C:/my folder" you will go to your specified folder. So cd to your folder containing Fastboot, and then type fastboot.exe. You will enter fastboot this way.
let me hear if you succeeded or need more help

Its so easy..just follow these steps
1. press 'windows key'+R
2. type 'cmd' and hit enter (without quotes)
3. type 'cd /' (without quotes)
4. type the location where you have extracted the 'fastboot.rar' file
ex: cd c:/fastboot/
5. then follow the instructions from lollylost100 post
ex:
cd c:/fastboot/ [hit enter]
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version [hit enter]
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY [hit enter]
p.s: dont forget to thank lollylost100
Tried it before hand.

Cmd windows gives an error when running fastboot.exe

im trying to unlock my gsm nexus bootloader in command run it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. what do i do?
I'm assuming you have Android SDK downloaded to your C:\ drive or or some place like that. if so then navigate to SDK folder and hold shift then right click platform-tools folder and then click open command window here. .

You need to get adb working on your PC. You don't have it installed or you are using it wrong (not in the directory it is in, or it isn't set to PATH as examples).
Side note adb doesn't work in the bootloader.
use gnex toolkit in galaxy nexus android development
Open the CMD and navigate to the folder where ADB.EXE is located and like someone mentioned about adb wont work in bootloader, so instead you'll have to use "fastboot", type "fastboot /?" for help and commands.
also make sure you execute CMD as Administrator.
on the toolkit, adb file's name is different. try "adb-toolkit" instead of "adb"
so: "adb-toolkit reboot bootloader"
I am trying to unlock the bootloader through HTCdev but my problem is when I open up cmd and type in the command all I get is fastboot access is denied!
I have searched and read for days but cannot find anything to help me out so I have joined up with xda in the hopes someone else out there has had a similar issue or can atleast suggest something.

Try creating a new fastboot folders and updating your HTC drivers. If the need arise, I can share with you my fastboot files

It's probably that the folder is under admin previlage protection.
Try moving fastboot folder.
Didn't work:
-Try extracting fastboot to a new directory again.
Didn't work:
-Run cmd as admin, then use cd command to navigate into fastboot folder
ex: cd c:\fastboot\

Hi convict_moody, I have tried all that you suggested and went as far as removing all traces of my HTC drivers and
fastboot folders from my computer and tried it all from scratch and still no luck.
I recently did a HTC update to 4.2.2 and the Hboot is 1.73 with S on just if that info is of help?
Are the drivers properly installed, you see MYHTC in the windows device manager. If so that's fine.
Maybe download the android sdk bundle and open the command window in the platform tools folder.
Then put there the unlock code.bin file too and flash it
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin

Drivers are up to date and I have tried with the sdk bundle, it seems to be so simple and not getting it to work is rather frustrating.
Starting to wonder if it's worth the hassle

Sure you logged in as admin on the pc ?
I'm the only user of this computer, got me stumped.
Yeah but when it's not setup as admin you can have trouble
Just want to thank you all for your advice, I tried the process on a different PC and it worked perfectly. Was my laptop the whole time.
Again a big thanks to you all
