I got a new Robin, wanted to unlock and root. It has the latest update. When I try to go into fastboot, it reboots into a menu which has fastboot as an option, but when I select it it goes back into that menu, help. Thanks in advanced

I forgot to mention that I tried the commands to unlock the bootloader but adb didn't detect the phone. That's why I thought that wasn't fastboot mode. Adb finds the device if booted in the OS, but not in fastboot mode.

Is USB debugging on? Also oem unlock has to be set to on. Both are in developer options.

I use this command
fastboot -i 0x2c3f oem unlock-go
But it kept saying waiting for device.

So I finally was able to unlock with Linux by adding the device 2c3f to udev. Maybe after adding the device to udev it could also work in virtualbox.

I have a pretty big problem and need some guided help. My stock samsung usb charger sometimes charges the phone and sometimes does not. Tried multiple different chords and got the same results, sometimes works sometimes does not. So now I am assuming this is an internal hardware problem soo I decided I should flash stock images, unroot and relock the bootloader and here comes the worst problem.... My device is NOT recognized when I connect it to my PC... therefor I can't access adb connection to flash stock images so I can return it to VZW....
Not sure what to do next.. any suggestions would be great...
It sounds like you just don't have the drivers installed. Just install the Samsung drivers here.

I tried that. uninstalled the old ones (that worked for 3 months) reinstalled them again and still no luck..
Do you have any other Android processes running on your cpu? Droid Explorer or alike? Droid Ex **** blocks adb; I had a frustrating few minutes once when adb wouldn't connect to my device until I realized DE was running in the background.
Long shot, but just a thought.
This is actually a common hardware error. See http://code.google.com/p/android/is...ary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=23789#makechanges and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539
Basicly you need to buy a new USB charging board.

fastboot doesnt have anything to do with adb; boot your device into bootloader
'fastboot devices'
do you see your device?

I am in the bootloader and don't see 'fastboot devices' or do I see my device. I see the product name, variant, bootloader version, baseband version, etc. Would that be considered 'my device' being recognized and I could actually flash the stock images?

fastboot is like adb. You need to run it from a command line. You should have had to use it when you installed a custom recovery ('fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img') or unlocked your phone (ie 'fastboot oem unlock'). fastboot is part of the android sdk (think it's in tools folder, but I moved mine so am not sure).

That's what my understanding of what it was too. I'm in the bootloader running a command prompt through windows and for the first time I think it recognized my devices. I ran 'fastboot devices' and a bunch of numbers on one line came up followed by fastboot. So I think my device is recognized and I can flash stock images?

yes, you can download the images for your device from google and flash them to your phone using fastboot if you want. I'm pretty sure that would put you back at stock with an unlocked bootloader.

I know how to. It was just your demeanor and wording/phrasing that had me confused.
I have the same problem, fastboot was working this morning, now after flashing Revolution HD, typing "fastboot devices" in CMD doesnt return anything anything, neither does adb push command which replies failed to copy .... As if the phone doesnt exist or its not attached. Does the phone need to be in clockwork mod? or just boot the phone normally?
Edit: This should do the trick, open CMD in Windows, navigate to your c:\android where you have fastboot and adb stored and type:
:cd %:h
adb kill-server
adb reboot bootloader

Hello, I've tried rooting my Nexus 7 (2013) with LTE for like 5 hours now...
I've done every single thing in every single thread, and I still can't do ****.
I've tried the WugFresh root toolkit, but that did not work at all for me, I uninstalled and remove what they told me to do... But nothing worked, when I followed the WugFresh toolkit I lost usb mass storage... N7 did not appear at all on my computer, which it did, before I tried to screw with it...
I've tried doing it the manual way too, downloading all the drivers, uninstalling the other onces first.. But nothing... I could not even get the device listed in adb! I tried the full driver installation thing + automatic check if everything worked out, but the tablet would NOT run the script to reboot it into fastboot, and when I tried to restart the tablet into fastboot, and then continue to run the toolkit, it would start TWRP, the popup on my computer told me to flash something "!flashready", but I could not find it in the sdcard...
I unlocked the n7 manually, holding the volume button and power button down.
I know that was very bad written, but I'm a bit in a hurry. Anything I could do?

So the current condition of your device is that ADB is nonfunctional but you are able to temporarily boot into TWRP with fastboot - is this correct?

I'm not sure what this means. If you're using a toolkit, you're not doing it manually. Have you tried ADB and fastboot alone, without a toolkit? Is TWRP on your phone now? If so, you're done; just flash from recovery 1) a ROM for a custom ROM or 2) SuperSU.zip for just root.
If you don't have TWRP, does your Google boot screen has a locked icon at the bottom? If so: for ADB to work you need to have debugging turned on in your phone's developer settings. You don't need ADB though; just reboot into the bootloader by holding power and volume-down. Then type "fastboot devices" and see if anything shows up.
If it's an unlocked icon, just flash a recovery.img from fastboot.

The toolkit is using the command
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-deb.img
to temporarily boot it over the stock recovery. Since you unlocked your bootloader manually, you can replace the stock recovery manually too using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-deb.img

Fastboot is separate from ADB. Your fastboot is working if the toolkit is able to boot TWRP.
Code:
fastboot devices
is what you use while your device is in the bootloader.

Hey,
I need help unlocking the bootloader under linux, since I can't "find" my phone while in fastboot, and can't use
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
because that ends in
Code:
< waiting for device >
What I did:
- Shut down the phone
- Rebooted into the bootloader
- chose "fastboot"
- connected to my laptop (USB 2.0, original cable)
- started ADB
- used the commands up there
- waited, and waited, and waited
--> nothing happens.
Where did I go wrong?
Cheers! :good:
Edit: Before I forget: USB debugging is on, fastboot is off
Did you use sudo or su? By default adb and fastboot require su pernission
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app
Adb won't work for bootloader unlocking. You need fastboot
sent from my mobile device
I forgot to use sudo before fastboot oem get_identifier_token.
All good now.
With my Nexus 10 I never needed sudo for fastboot. Well, on the other hand, unlocking was way easier.
Thank you!
PS: Quick Question: Is there an ETA for CWM? I prefer it over TWRP or PHILZ, just because I'm lazy.

Have you enabled USB debugging?
To enable USB debugging you need to enable Developer Options in your phone first. To do this: Go to Settings > About phone > Software info > and then tap the build number about 7 times.
Edit: I can see you have downloaded the Android SDK Platform-Tools on the desktop. Try to run the command under the correct path ( C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\platform-tools_r33.0.2-windows\platform-tools>
