[Q] Enter Fastboot mode with scrapped volume button, to relock the bootloader

Hello friends,
How to get into fastboot to relock the bootloader, if my volume button is dead? By dead, I mean the ribbon has been ripped off of the mobo (it was soldered onto mobo).
Since I'm a brand-new noob, the only way I know of and have done is to get into fastboot mode and lock it back up like what I did when I unlocked it. Any other way to lock it, ideally within the Android OS? Since my volume buttons are completely dead, I doubt that I can get into any "mode" other than OS right now..
TIA!

adb reboot bootloader.

I've seen that command in a post from search earlier, but there was no response after that post.
Would you explain the procedure? I am afraid that I might do anything wrong on top of these disasters i've gone thru with this phone
I also saw another line during earlier search: "if they don't know how to setup an adb command, they probably shouldn't unlock their phones"... Looks like I've done what I shouldn't..?

I would say doing whatever ripped the volume button cable out was what you shouldn't have been doing If you unlocked the phone you have the software you used to unlock, right? What software/guide did you use/follow? Are you using Windows/Linux/Mac? The only way to get to the bootloader w/o the volume buttons (afaik) is to use adb via usb. If you provide more details I can try to help you.

Once you're in adb reboot bootloader, do fastboot oem lock. Opposite of how you unlocked it in the first place

navigate your cmd line to the folder with adb and fastboot in it. Hook the phone up to the computer and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
which will make your phone reboot into the bootloader mode. You can then proceed with what you need to do.

I agree with whoever said that. This is another example of people messing with things before reading and learning how they work.

Thanks for your help guys!
btw, anyone found xdadevelopers to load extremely slower in Firefox when compared to Chrome? (just offtopic)
Anyway, I unlocked the bootloader when I was switching to yakju cmd and this folder called "fastboot-and-adb" in which there is both adb.exe and fastboot.exe. I used command "fastboot unlock bootloader" or something alike.
I'll do some more search and learn. Don't want you guys to think of me as a lazy bone who unlocked their bootloader using 1-click toolkit
p.s. edit: in my other thread, someone suggested using quickboot app.
Thanks for your replies guys!

Somehow it says device not found
I do have proper driver (Naked Driver Beta 0.5 by 1wayjonny) that my phone was able to be recognized under bootloader at the time when I could actually get into bootloader. My phone is also being recognized as media device now... I have also turning usb debug on...

Try adb remount
The ad devices
This should list the serial number
Then all commands should work

You need to turn USB debugging on, and then type "adb devices" and see if it shows up. It may not using the Naked Driver; I had to install the full Samsung USB driver package before ADB would see my Galaxy Nexus.
If it does show up, then you type "adb reboot-bootloader" and it should boot into fastboot. Then just type "fastboot oem lock" and it will wipe the storage partitions and restore the bootloader lock.

Thanks for the help at late night guys. I finally got into the bootloader, thru a mac tho Kinda ironic that I am a supporter of Windows, well, at least a firm user of Windows.
Tried adb remount, it still says device not found

I believe that you quoted my "I have turned USB debug on" ;p
Gave up on trying Windows drivers. When I was flashing the Yakju, I tried Samsung full driver, and it didn't work on my machine, i.e., the phone can't be detected in bootloader mode, while the beta 0.5 driver worked. So I decided not to mess with it anymore.
It looks like when the phone is not under bootloader, windows recognize it fine as MTP devices and install proper samsung driver from the internet directly. This allows me to open it up in explorer to browse files and such, but the phone won't show up under adb devices somehow.
Looks like MTP device (when the phone is in Android OS) and the fastboot mode use two kinds of drivers. This is just my assumption, though.
Anyway, finally got into bootloader now with Mac, and it's pretty funny I have to do everything thru command as the volume rockers are dead
And most importantly, thank you guys for your help!

Just another update
It's real funny now that the bootloader is locked, I can't unlock it again cuz I don't have the volume button working, so I couldn't choose YES on the phone.
I'm not trying to unlock it again, but just to confirm if there's really no work around, in case I encounter this situation again in the future
Lucky that locking the bootloader won't erase everything, or I won't be able to flash a ROM with it locked... :cold sweating:

[TUT] ADB no device found -- Getting ADB to work

The easiest way of getting ADB to work:
Turn your phone OFF (Yes, off)
Connect it to your pc and wait for windows to finish "installing the drivers"
Try ADBing by going to ure fastboot folder (assuming it has the ADB executable inside the folder as well).
You could check if your device was recognized by firing
Code:
adb devices
If it doesn't show anything then do the following:
Grab the appropriate pc drivers from here: http://www.android-advice.com/2012/how-to-root-the-htc-one-x-and-htc-one-s/
Extract the drivers
Now go to Start menu and right click on my computer and then click manage.
Now go to device manager and there you should see your connected One X listed as being without a driver.
Right click on that entry and select 'update driver'
Now tell it that you have the driver on local disk and then browse to the folder you extracted.
Update your driver.
Disconnect and reconnect the device and try ADBing again.
Should work.

If your phone is off then Windows won't see it. Just install HTC Sync (so you get the drivers - you can uninstall HTC Sync afterwards if you're not going to use it) then plug the phone in when booted into Android. Repeat process when in FASTBOOT to get Windows to see the phone in FASTBOOT mode as well
Simples!

That is the thing -- IT DOES SEE IT! Try it yourself.
I didn't think it would but Jotha told me that it would. I tried it and it worked. I was surprised.

Yes device is seen through adb when off.
This is because as soon as you plug the USB cable, offmode comes up with charging and ADB support
Offmode is embeded in the recovery partition
PS: This needs latest clockworkmod recovery to work...

Latest ADB?
Hi!
When i was restoring my Sensation to S-ON i noticed that ADB was complaining about version out of date something....
Where can i get the latest version of ADB for using with my One X when i've decided if i should wait or use hTC bootunlocker...

Android SDK straight from Google should take care of that.

Also, use HTC USB cables, sometimes using non-standard USB cables can make searching for devices impossible.

No. As long as the cable is properly USB 2.0 compliant, it WILL work, otherwise HTC CANNOT certify against USB 2.0. Tried with proper Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Google cables.

that doesn't work for me.

Sorry for being a dummy.

Is there any way with an adb command that we can tell what bootmode the phone is in?
I.E: hotboot or fastboot mode?
Using adb get-state they both return "unknown"?

Never mind... I found the androidlib.DLL (I think that's wrong, but its a .net DLL available here on xda) and that manages to return fast boot so I can tell programatically what state it's in...

I have been trying to get adb working on my Win10 machine for a long time and just can not figure out what is wrong.
I have adb installed in c:\adb and my USB drivers are working. I can browse the phone from the PC.
But no matter what I try when I try to adb, I get this:
.
C:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached

** daemon still not running

(Yes I do have USB debugging ON and OEM ON)
It is weird because it says daemon is nOT running then it tries to start
it and says daemon started Successfully ... then it says daemon still
nOT running. That makes no sense to me ?
Please any thoughts on this ???

I can understand the difficulty. This problem is pretty common because there are no official drivers for Win10. These drivers work best on XP. I also could not get the adb to work on my Win10 so I installed Ubuntu and rooting/installing ROM's from ubuntu is a breeze.. srry for not hvng a solution for this.

Fastboot Not Working and CWM Not Installing

Hello, I'm having some problems with my HTC One X.
When trying to send commands to the phone while it is in fastboot, cmd says "waiting for device" and doesn't change.
My bootloader is unlocked and CWM Recovery is installed although when I try and install one of the 4 ROM's I have on my phones internal storage the installer looks like it's working until it gets to around 20% and then says it is complete. When the device restarts it gets stuck on the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen. I am however still able to mount the phone and put files onto it through CWM. I have tried to use RUU and this just gives an error about USB not connected.
If you think you can help, thank you and if you need to know anything else I will try and give you as much information as I can.
Thanks,
Andy

Here's a checklist for you:
Phone in fastboot mode
Correct drivers installed
ADB/fasboot up to date
What does 'fastboot devices' return?

Yeah, it was all working earlier today but it just seemed to stop. fastboot devices returns
"c:\Fastboot>fastboot devices
c\:Fastboot>"

What OS is your computer running? Does it say FASTBOOT USB on phone display?

I have a macbook pro as my main computer but all things to do with rooting I do on a windows desktop.
This display says fastboot usb but all fastboot commands do nothing and it still doesn't show up in fastboot devices.

Reboot pc and phone if you haven't already.
You could try it with your mac, there's plenty of guides out there on how to setup.
Make sure to use sudo!!

Tried it on mac like you suggested, still no devices listed. And installations still only get to around 20%.
Do you think it's bricked?

[Q] cant enable usb debugging, fastboot doesnt work

I have a Nexus 7 2013 that wont boot. USB Debugging was not enabled. At this point, I am just trying to wipe the machine with a stock image, but I am having trouble.
I have installed the sdk and drivers (so many drivers!)
Recovery mode fastboot does not recognize the device.
ADB recognizes the Nexus, but I cant seem to get it to do anything with it.
e: failed to mount anything.
I have read through so many forum threads that I'm just overwhelmed, and they all seem to require the machine being in USB debugging mode before any changes can be made.
Please help or tell me what pertinent information I have omitted.
Thank you

I think USB debugging only matters in ADB, which is when the device is actually booted into Android OS. You probably want fastboot, which is a different "application" and set of commands in a command prompt.
Code:
fastboot devices
Does that give you anything when the tablet is in fastboot mode? It should list the serial number of the device, similar to "adb devices" does. If not, it could be drivers, or another issue with the device.
Have you tried unlocking the bootloader? This will induce a factory reset of the current firmware version, which may allow you at least boot normally and take any available OTA updates.

Hello,
fastboot devices lists nothing, while adb does show the serial number.
I have used so many tutorials and a couple of toolkits that now I have no idea what is happening with my drivers.
Unlocking the bootloader to force a factory reset sounds amazing, but all the information I can find says I need to have USB debugging enabled to do so. I can not boot into the system to enable it.
Is there a way to force a reset without USB debugging?
Thank you

Usb debugging is irrelevant. Forget about it, it's only used when the system is booted.
You need to get fastboot devices to recognize the tablet.
Uninstall any and all toolkits and drivers. Redownload the sdk. Boot to the bootloader and plug it in, the drivers should install automatically. If not install the google usb drivers from the sdk manager in the sdk.
Try fastboot devices again. If it doesn't work try a different usb cord/port/computer.
You are in the bootloader when running this command right? Not the recovery? I think with the tablet off it's volume down and power. The screen that says start in big green letters at the top and has device info in the bottom left is what you want.
Edit: Did you boot to recovery and select the options to wipe data and cache? Sometimes thats all thats needed.

Also booting to recovery and performing a factory reset may be sufficient.
ADB will indeed function in recovery. I don't think you have to enable USB debugging to get this to work though.

Are you typing fastboot devices while booted in recovery? Typing fastboot devices while in recovery or booted into Android will do nothing.

hello, thank you for your advice. I now get the nexus seen by fastboot (and win 7) but have hit a wall. The last time I had my computer and the nexus together was weeks ago, when I my computer BSOD during what I thought was a simple flashing of the the stock image, but turned out to be hours of the nexus saying it was erasing personal data ... and then crash. I have replaced and added fans so my cpu wont overheat again, so please offer ideas why "fastboot flashall" or "fastboot flash image-razor-kot49h" wont work.
I appreciate all responses, and believe the answer is either very simple or a catastrophic hardware failure. I base this belief on what is left in my head after smashing it into the wall so many times over the last month when my wife asks me, "have you fixed my nexus yet, or do I need to figure out a way to buy a new one next month?"
I am stuck at unlocking the bootloader. I have highlighted "yes" on the nexus and pressed power and my command window says "erasing user data." It has said this for the last 18 hours. This is the second computer I have tried this on, using 3 different usb cables. What am I missing?

This may help...it may not. But I was having issues getting my bootloader unlocked also when I started on mine. My remedy was to
1 plug in the nexus into the usb
2 I run Linux so it gives me choices on what to do with newly plugged in usb device. I noticed two identical choices to mount device. Choosing one just mounted the camera for some strange reason. I closed that window, then chose the other choice to mount device, the window opened and my full internals were there in the window
3 from a terminal I just wrote a prompt: fastboot oem unlock
and for some reason, it unlocked.
To sum it up I'm convinced it has something to do with how the device gets mounted. At least on mine anyway.
As for activating developer from a terminal I read it could be done but never tried it myself, if you want here's the link for the info, read the second answer down.

Tried to edit but anyway:
After re..re, rereading your post, and responces. Have you tried the old fashioned way
Hold down the (down volume) button at the same time the (power) key.."Together" If you get anything that pops on your screen let go of the keys, one tap at a time tap the volume up or down key ONLY, until it says (START), its in green type. if you get there you should be ok, to move along

Unlocking Is easy

I have had this watch for about an hour now... ANNNND the bootloader is unlocked...
easy steps below
Note For Clarification: you CANNOT do this over Bluetooth.
Enable ADB and connect to computer.
reboot into fastboot using: adb reboot-bootloader
then issue command: Fastboot Oem Unlock
accept the prompt on the watch.
then reboot the watch...
Piece of cake.
Now... about that boot logo...

Yeah its like a nexus in that regard. And no I don't have the watch yet but have ordered it today.

I would unlock mine but there's no reason to yet. I always unlock my Nexus devices first thing yet with the watch I would like to keep it stock for now.

No reason to unlock, until someone creates twrp, and root.

What does "issue command: fastboot oem unlock" mean exactly? There is a little red action name which I can cycle between "Reboot", "Shutdown", "Reboot-bootloader" and "Reboot-recovery", none of which seem remotely correct. I went into "Reboot-recovery" to see whether there was further stuff in there, but nothing seems relevant.

So what this means is you need to have ADB and fastboot setup on your computer. From there, you will need to go into developer settings on the watch and enable ADB debugging. Then once you have that enabled, go to where you set up ADB on your computer and type in those commands provided.
P.S. If you're sitting there not sure what ADB means and how to set it up, you NEED to do more research before trying anything like this.

Actually, it has been a bit of a ride.
I knew of adb already from my watch face development so I had initially wondered whether fastboot was a subcommand of that. I didn't expect it to be another command in the SDK at all for some reason. But yep, it's in the same place as adb, and it works, and now everything flashed fine. I don't know why I didn't search my computer for a file with that name, since that would have located it.
Un-hiding the development options is mentioned on the wear developer site so that was fairly easy to set up. The only hard part was that they gave a text-only explanation, but this watch came set to Chinese, so it was a bit fun to figure out which button to press to "confirm" a dialog. I recognised the first option as the "no" and the second option turns out to have been the "yes", but there are more options below that I still don't know what they are, lol.

No reason to unlock, until someone creates twrp, and root.

I was thinking to upload a custom rom for Huawei watch “slim system.img, deodexed, root and more " But I need someone to try it first. I am still waiting for my watch. I will upload if anyone is interested.
