Mac OS X Fastboot Mode <Waiting for Device>

Hi, I am trying to Re-Lock my Galaxy Nexus GSM version, I've downloaded the SDK files (adb-mac and fastboot-mac) and all the image files and I am trying to execute the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.ek02.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-mysid-icl53f.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem lock
With the phone in normal mode I connect the USB cable to the computer, start Terminal windows and run the first command, "./adb-mac reboot bootloader" and the phone will boot into the "Fastboot Mode", then I try to execute "./fastboot-mac devices" to make sure the phone is connected and properly detected and I get nothing.
If I try to execute "./fastboot-mac flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primekk15.img" I get the message <waiting for device> and it will stay there forever.
Do you know what might be the problem ?, is there other method to do this ?, go back to Stock ROM and Re-Lock the device ?, thanks

i use windows but i also get problems when i didnt had a break after the flash parts/ update parts

I know nothing about using Macs but have you installed the device drivers? As you are getting no serial number returned when using fastboot devices im guessing not.
Mark.
On a side note please do not post questions in the Development Forums as that is not the place for them.
Thanks.

The device is being detected while running in normal mode, meaning I do have the drivers, the problem is when I go into FASTBOOT MODE, I can no longer see the phone

But for the simple command ./fastboot-mac devices should work and it's not

in bootloader mode u need other drivers
but dont know how to install them on mac

First thing, make sure your fastboot file is executable
from the folder containing fastboot-mac:
chmod a+x fastboot-mac
You do not need further drivers on a mac. Just make sure you are using the correct fast boot and have all of the images in the same folder. Try using a different USB port. I renamed my fastboot file to fastboot and copied it into usr/local/bin folder so it can be accessed without the ./ ...Hope this helps...I actually just got done restoring mine because its gotta go back to the store because the internal storage is all sorts of jacked up...Since you clearly have a mac, have you had any issues using android file transfer?

I just checked and Fastboot is executable, as a matter of fact it's running, the problem is that the phone cannot be seen from the FASTBOOT mode, and I can see from the phone screen that IT IS in Fastboot Mode, it says in RED letters "FASTBOOT MODE"

Well reboot your phone. Once up, try and boot into boot loader the manual way by powering off the device, holding both vol + and -, and press power... then try your fastboot commands. Are you rooted or no?

I've done that, going into FASTBOOT MODE manually and the same result. Yes I am rooted.

I just want to go back to stock and re-lock the phone, is there other way to accomplish that ?
NOTE: I've tried Mac and PC (Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit 1.3), different USB cables, different USB ports, reinstalled all the drivers on the Windows computer, NOTHING, the phone it's not being detected in FASTBOOT MODE.
Is it possible to go back to stock and re-lock from the Recovery Mode ?, I have ClockWorkMode 5.5.0.2 installed and working fine.

You can flash a Stock Rom via cwm but you can only relock the phone via fastboot mode.
Has this problem only surfaced recently?
You say that you are rooted and have cwm flashed so how did you do that?
Do you have another usb cable that you can try?

I used FASTBOOT to unlock and Root, no problem at all, use the phone for 10 days and them decided to go back to Stock and Re-Lock. If I connect the phone in normal operating mode to the computer it will be recognized and I can see the phone from the computer connected via USB, so the cabe, port on the phone and port on the computer are OK. I've tried different computer (Mac and PC), different OS (Mac OS X and Windows 7), different USB cable, different USB port.

Just make sure USB debugging is on...try getting on a PC and running the ODIN file from someone was kind enough to post us...to get into odin mode, just hold up while the phone is off and hit power. You need the drivers installed and the latest version of ODIN on your desktop as well.

Plug your phone in and then turn it off...download the odin file from xda...not sure who posted it...it will be a 7z file...inside there are two separate .tar files.

[Q] Fastboot cannot find device (Ubuntu/Win7)

Ok, I *have* searched the forums and googled this, but none of the standard solutions seem to work.
I have the Verizon HTC One and successfully ran the rumrunner S-OFF (root, unlocked, etc). Now I want to flash a recovery using fastboot, but no matter what I do, I cannot get "fastboot devices" to show anything (or I get <waiting for device> if I try anything else with fastboot). ADB works fine.
On Ubuntu 11.10:
I downloaded the back-ported android-tools (apt-get install android-tools-fastboot/adb from the ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 repository).
I tried fastboot as root, and I also tried with a udev rule (SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666").
adb works fine (I used it to reboot in fastboot-usb mode)
I tried different USB ports.
On Windows 7:
I tried both fastboot from the Android SDK and from the "Minimal Tools".
ADB works fine.
I un-installed and re-installed drivers as I plugged in and unplugged my phone into the USB ports.
Note that Windows 7 does complain about the drivers and says that the device is unplugged when it isn't. It seems to timeout when trying to install drivers from the internet
I tried installing and uninstalling HTC Sync, PDANet.
I would prefer if there is a way to make it work in Ubuntu so that I can eliminate the Windows drivers from the equation. Anything obvious that I missed? Does the version of fastboot matter?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You can run a fastboot command from terminal emulator. If you can't find the commands, I will send them when I get to a computer tomorrow.

Do you have Fastboot turned off in system settings?
Unless I'm mistaken, you need to be sure that's switched off to utilize fastboot mode.
If it's already switched off and you are still having the issue, then ignore this post.

I have fastboot checked in settings and fastboot commands work... When I'm in fastboot mode.
OP, I have made the simple mistake of not putting it in fastboot mode before. Were you booted into fastboot mode? I.E. reboot into bootloader, with fastboot selected hit the power button and ensure that it says deadbolt at the top? Something really simple that had tripped me up before!

This is worth a shot, as I've read in previous post. Only plug your HTC One into a usb 2.0 instead of 3.0. What does this mean? If you look inside the usb on your computer and the color you see is blue? Don't use that one. For whatever reason, when using the commands, usb 3.0 doesn't work with the HTC One. If you only have the 3.0 ports... I have nothing.

ADB works fine over USB 3.0 for any Android device if you have the proper drivers installed. If you have a mixture of 2.0 and 3.0 ports, as I do, use the 2.0, as it is more reliable, though slower. I'm using ADB on my device via USB 3.0 as I type this, using Windows 7 x64.
If your motherboard has an Intel chipset, you can try this method to get Fastboot working over USB 3.0, just disregard the download links about making it work on Windows 8, as the drivers were designed for Windows 7. My motherboard has an Asmedia USB 3.0 controller, and I am unable to use the Intel drivers, and thus unable to use Fastboot over USB 3.0, which isn't really a problem for me, as I also have the USB 2.0 ports.

Oh, you mean directly on the phone? Presumably one could do it from "adb shell" as well? I would be interested to know what the commands are, since typing fastboot in the terminal emulator is not recognized.

So just to be patently clear. To boot into fastboot, I reboot into the bootloader with USB attached, select "fastboot", then it says "fastboot USB" and I select "Reboot", correct? I have never noticed the word "deadbolt". Is there a way to check on the phone that I've booted into fastboot?
I have been using USB 2 ports (tried different ones).
I have fast boot unchecked in my settings.

Don't click reboot once your phone says "Fastboot USB". That's where you're going wrong.
You say that ADB works on occasion. Trying downloading the newest drivers from this thread. Plug your phone in and type "adb devices". If it displays your phone's serial number and says "device" next to it, you're doing fine. Then type "adb reboot bootloader". It will bring you to where you are able to type fastboot commands. Type "fastboot devices". If it shows your device's serial number and says "fastboot" next to it, then your Fastboot commands will work properly.

Open a terminal emulator on your phone then get root access:
su
After that, cd to the location of the .img file: (i.e. if it was on the root of the sd card then...)
cd /sdcard/
Finally, flash the image to the recovery partition:
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 (not sure if this location will be different on this phone..someone else may want to chime in)
Then exit the terminal emulator and reboot.

Thanks, not clicking the reboot made it work with fastboot (even in Win7!). I was confused by the statements about rebooting "into fastboot" and assuming that once it displayed "fastboot USB" I should reboot. Took me 2 seconds to install TWRP once this PEBKAC was resolved .
I would've tried the dd option from the terminal, but I'm glad I didn't have to (have used that wrong once on a Linux system and it was not pleasant!).

Glad you figured it out, even with my typo!

[Q] adb/fastboot can't find device in bootloader, but they can do it when booted

Dear all,
I have worked on building Android from source code for few weeks. It used to be fine to me with my galaxy nexus, I can connect to my device via adb and fastboot and flash either the factory ROM or ROM built by me into my device. However, when updating the phone into 4.3, I forgot to extract drivers into the built directory and flash the built image into my device. Is surely can't work, and the screen turn off once "Google" is shown, so I would like to reflash it back to other image. However, my laptop can't recognize my Nexus S anymore in the bootloader. I can use "adb shell" once the device is normally booted (even without screen), but once I type "adb reboot bootloader", the connection is lost! Both "adb and fastboot devices" show nothing....
I have searched the forum and stackoverflow all day but can't find helpful information. There are many threads talking about unable to connect devices but 70% of them are driver-related issue and 30% of them, ex: sudo adb, just don't work for me. I think I am not facing the driver issue because I still can use "adb shell" once the device is normally booted (not in bootloader mode). Moreover, I also tried few debrick tools contributed by xda community but with no luck.
I am wondering if there is any way that I can reflash image to my device without accessing it in bootloader mode? (ex: push image in to device via adb shell when device is normally booted?). I am also wondering if there is any way to fix this problem. Any suggestion is very appreciated!: crying:
Thanks
Yu-Chih
ps. the most closed thread I found is called "ADB can discover devices but not fastboot" in stackexchange (I am not allowed to post the link)
but it seems there is no answer in this thread

I'm not a expert, but do you know how is the DD command ?,
I wonder, is you can DD the boot loader into the nexus partition?

Thanks for the reply. I am not sure what I should do with dd command? Could I use it to reinstall the drivers into device?
by the way, I found there is a error showing up in the bottom of screen in fastboot mode, "Fastboot Command Read Error -2147483647", and many closed threads (sorry that I am not allowed to post url because I am new). Some suggests are to reinstall drivers (even thought I don't get if they mean reinstall the usb driver for laptop or for android), but it seems not solved yet.

Dear all, I think I have tried all potential solution about "fastboot command read error -2147483647" that I can find at internet......
Here is what solution I have tried:
1. sudo the command of adb and fastboot
2. update drivers
3. update sdk
4. use another cable
5. install other drivers (win7), ex: naked driver
6. Wug's root kit
What I can't try:
1. enable USB debug mode at phone (because I don't have screen of it but only adb shell)
2. remove(uninstall) other software such as PDA net...etc (I don't try this because my system is clean-installed win7/MAC/ubuntu)
I think this problem is kind of common but my situation seems slightly different from others, that I can find the device when my device is normally booted but I can't recognize it when it is rebooted into bootloader (showing "fastboot command read error -2147483647" at bottom). I am starting to believe it either be the problem that I don't activate the USB debugging in my new flashed image (but I can connect it with adb when the device is normalled booted) or the usb driver in my device is broken.
Anyone has any idea.....:crying:

Dear all,
This is my latest update. I wipe out the whole system of Ubuntu and Win7 and restart everything from the first step. Magically, the new Win7 + Wug's root kit can successfully flash new image into my phone. But also magically, the ubuntu system faces the same issue as I described (no connection in bootloader with the error code but connection is fine after the device is booted). The bright side of this is that I am finally able to try other solutions, e.g., enabling debugging mode, but the sad part is that I still get no luck at Ubuntu and MAC.........can't believe it works at Win7 but not at Ubuntu and MAC.....

TWRP installed but no OS. Udev problem?

Hi guys!
After years playing around with android roms and devices it looks that i probably brick a device for first time.
I'll try to be brief, but if you need more info it will be a pleasure give it to you.
Now my MI6 have recovery cofface 3.1.1.-0 installed but no os. I can reboot on bootload with keys. The problem is that im unable to push a zip into the device. Commands "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" return no devices founded.
a) OTG: Recovery doesnt allow me to mount USB-OTG. I enter in Mount and when i click over USB-OTG it highlighted but the checkbox still empty.
b)Plug into pc: The phone appears and disappears each second. Tried multiples wires.
Udev not found warning shows up when I click in the device before it disappears.
c) ADB sideload: not working, cause i cant reach MI6 from PC.
I add some stuff i see in logs and could be interesting:
When i use sideload:
Code:
I: cannot find file /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idProduct
I: cannot find file /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idVendor
When is in appear/disappear loop:
Code:
I:[MTP]Mtpserver::run fd: 20
E:[MTP] request read returned -1, errno: 5 , exiting MtpServer::run loop
I tried to recover it from Windows and Linux even from FWUL liveiso but all same results.
Any idea is appreciated, thanks a lot!
PD: Excuse my English Besides not having a good level, I'm tired of being all day trying things

This is the first roadblock for him.
if fastboot devices can't detect his device, then any fastboot command to flash a partition is also invalid.

Yes, linux and windows. And drivers are OK cause it worked before.
I think when i wiped system the device got corrupted someway. Now if i plug it into debian machine the computer detect the phone one sec., then dissapear other second, appear again... and so on.
My idea was to flash new recovery from otg but recovery didnt mount the device. Im researching for some way to mount it manually but at the moment not success.

I'm assuming it's a driver error. Few years ago i had a mtk smartphone and somehow i managed to hard brick it, PC recognize it just for 2 or 3 seconds and that was because fastboot drivers didn't installed so i had to install it manually from device manager, for mtk drivers name was preload 89xx (driver must be for specific motherboard model number), i opened device manager, boot phone in fastboot mode, connect it to pc and on the short time wen the PC recognize the phone i hited right click and choose update driver manually, i believe it could be possible to do the same thing with mi 6, i don't know if there are separate drivers for fastboot mode to be able to install them.

Thx brother solv

problem with fastboot twrp flashing

my device came with unlocked bootloader, so I tried to flash twrp but every time i type "fastboot flash recovery C:\adb\twrp-3.2.1-3-whyred.img" and hit enter, the device seems to disconnect from pc and there is "press any key to reboot" in fastboot on my phone.
How can I solve this issue?`
Phone gets detected by adb/fastboot tool so its not a driver problem. I tried different cables and usb ports aswell.
Firmware is latest global stable.

Well if you already had adb in your pc, rename the twrp file to recovery, you don't have to move the twrp from download folder, open download folder press shift and right click then select open cmd here, on cmd type "adb device" to see if your device connected, then after that type this "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" press enter than after that type "fastboot boot recovery.img" TEAMWIN logo should appear on your device and then you can unplug your device. Hope this useful

i am trying to flash twrp there is no folder called adb i have installed the 15 second adb and all so i have got this minimal adb flashboot and i tried with that and got this ---- FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State). i have granted all usb and oem unlocking. please help with this

Phone shows unlocked during the boot?
I had the same Problem,after a Factory Reset works for me.
I am on Miglobe-Rom Miui10 8.6.28.
Minimal ADB is enough.
Or use this from Attachment.
Unpack with Win.zip and copy Twrp in this Folder.
Conect the Phone with your Pc ,boot into Bootloader and click "cmd-here.exe"
Use this Command
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-3-whyred.img

@Nazukii - Quick question - any chance you could try running GameBench on your device, and see if our background service dies when the device is disconnected from the PC? I don't have a Note 5 Pro to test, and I've got some user complaints. Any assistance would be awesome!

Same problem here after updating my gcam was not working was enabling hall again but it is not booting into twrp

Redmi Note 5 pro
So my Bootloader is locked,
My phone stuck in MI recovery idk how.
I cant install MIUI via fastboot. Im stuck ..
Can anyone please help me here not sure how to proceed further.

If you have made sure that you have all the drivers installed and still have not solved, you need to use an Intel-based PC / notebook and use a usb 2.0.
