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:

Hi, I have the same problem as you. I treid root my one x and now, it has clockworkmod on it, but no back up, no stock rom and no rom on the phones hd. I can confirm that in command prompt the device is found, but the phone is not visible on my computer/usb wise for me to put a rom/files onto the phone so I could get a rom on it and make it work again. Right now my phone is just an expensive brick. I tried doing the recovery option but says failed due to low power, the dman thing was plugged in all day and would not even turn on at first. Can anyone help me? Thanks and sorry for adding to your original thread/problem post.
Cheers
Ate you charging using USB connected to your computer or outlet? Try outlet.

If you have clockworkmod older than 5.8.4.0, you should update it. Then you can charge from recovery and mount the drive as USB to copy ROMs on.
Just know that cheap USB cables, although looking solid may not be good enough to transfer data. THe phone detects this and defaults to a non-data enabled mode. Get a different USB cable and try again.
I need help getting out of this never ending misery. I'm stuck with my unlocked Desire HD, no ROM, and no idea how to get one working. I can't even get back to stock.
I've been looking for solutions for a week now, but it seems the combination of S-ON, no USB debugging and an unlocked bootloader makes most of them undoable.
I am able to get into boot loader, and the currently installed 4eXT recovery.
See attached file for bootloader screen.
Can anyone help me get my phone to work again? Either by a custom ROM or HTC stock; whatever.
Thanks.

It gets stuck on the HTC loading screen or on the black screen directly after depending on what I install. Don't I need USB debugging to use fastboot? I'm only getting < waiting for device > when flashing via fastboot.
My device is not listed when using adb devices.

No. ADB is not fastboot. Access fastboot from the hboot menu. Details in the link in my signature.

Yes, I did read your thread. But it doesn't work since it's not getting a connection to the device.
See attached image.
So you're booting into hboot, navigating to fastboot with your volume keys, and selecting it with the power key? If so, and fastboot still isn't getting a connection, I have no idea. Maybe check your cable or your USB port connectivity.

Yes. It does say FASTBOOT USB and I can see the device in the Device Manager. I also have the Android SDK Tools as well as the Google USB Driver installed.
I always thought you needed USB debugging on on the phone to get access to the phone's system folders.

No, USB debugging (aka ADB) is separate from fastboot. ADB kicks in when you boot the ROM. Fastboot is from the bootloader. Fastboot doesn't access the system's individual folders. It's used to flash entire images.
Not to worry, for I have solved the problem. I was apparently missing a driver that didn't get installed since I was missing USB debugging mode when installing adb and fastboot on my PC.
Going into Device Manager and manually looking up the HTC driver solved it.
Thanks for your time.

No, I did not have that installed.
Windows 7 x64
Galaxy Nexus i515, BROKEN SCREEN, USB DEBUGGING WAS NOT TURNED ON. The phone is completely stock I just turned it on and used it until I broke my screen. Screen lock is on.
I have been trying to access my phone, using Fastboot, to wipe it before I send it in for warranty. I can not seem to do this at all. It seems that I can not install the drivers because I have not enabled USB debugging. Is this true? I have been following this guide : http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/2/ When i go to manually install the drivers, from SDK, I get, "The folder you specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure that it is designed to work with Windows for x6-based systems." I then tried the driver from Samsung and got the same response.
So then I hold VOL+ _ VOL- and Power and tried to install the drivers for Fastboot with the same outcome as above. Also when I boot in Fastboot mode the drivers that are installed make my phone a modem. The driver is called, "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem." I can not get this to change.
So to summarize I can not get the ADB Drivers to install, because I do not have USB Debugging enabled, that in return will not allow me to install Fastboot Drivers because when I plug the phone in the computer sees it as a Modem.
Any suggestions? I am just trying to erase the info on my phone I have given up all hope of recovering any data.
Thanks,

I meant a screen pattern lock. When you wake up the screen you have to connect the dots in a certain pattern before your screen unlocks and you can use the phone.
As far as, USB debugging drivers/interface having nothing to do with fastboot drivers/interface, then what am I doing wrong? I can not get my computer to see my phone as an android device.

Uninstall all drivers, reboot pc.
Assuming device is off: press power+vol up+vol down, until you feel the vibration. Wait 2 secs or so. Device will be in fastboot mode.
Read this thread, i say again, READ this thread, obviously start with the first post! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
Thanks for the link. I read it and followed instructions for installing the drivers. Here is what I did:
1.Uninstalled all drivers
2.Rebooted my PC
3.Downloaded these Drivers, as suggested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
4.Followed these instructions, on how to install the driver without windows trying to find one automatically: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29044502&postcount=735
Everything seemed to go well under the Device Manager, when I plug my phone in in fastboot mode, it shows Android Phone -> Samsung Android Interface. This is way better than what I had before, when it was showing up as a Modem. Now when I try to use fastboot.exe and I type "fastboot devices" nothing shows up. I reset the computer and replugged in my device, in fastboot, and the same thing nothing shows up in fastboot.
Thanks for you help.

Not sure if I understand what your asking.
I followed all of the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29044502&postcount=735 I connected the phone booted normally and let windows find a driver so that the driver reads Portable Devices -> Galaxy Nexus. Then I unplugged the Nexus and booted it in fastboot mode and plugged it in. Next I followed the directions to install the Universal_Naked_Driver, in fastboot mode. I can not install the driver for ADB because I can not enable USB Debugging with my broken screen.
Thanks Again.

You said you're running stock, so that should have been my first question, because to unlock your bootloader through the usual way, you need to confirm a dialog on the device... which in your case, doesn't have a working screen.

That post shows how it's done, correctly. (I think, from what i've read)
pay attention to part 3)
3)
NOTE:
- The method described here can be used to install the "Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface" driver as well as the "Samsung Galaxy Nexus Bootloader Interface" driver.
- Differences between the two procedures. One is done with the phone booted up normally and "USB Debugging" is enabled, and the other is done when the phone is in fastboot. I will cover the "USB Debugging" part here.

We will now install the two drivers that efrant talked about in his post.
A) (FOR ADB - WHEN RUNNING ANDROID OS):
Enable USB debugging on your device
- Goto Settings > Developer Options > Check "USB Debugging"
- Connect device, manually update driver to Naked driver by 1wayjohny, done. On 4.2 and above, you'll need to confirm that you accept the host's (your pc) RSA key.
B) (FOR FASTBOOT - WHEN RUNNING FASTBOOT MODE)
boot into fastboot mode - power off phone and hold vol up + vol down + power
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Both for A) and B), you need to do the "Update drivers manually" part!
Right now, your only option is B), that is to use fastboot to either:
- Flash stock images.
- To get your data back, boot a custom recovery (which won't require the RSA key confirmation for ADB) from fastboot, then use ADB to pull your /sdcard/ or whatever.

I am learning this ^. I am having trouble getting my computer to see my phone, in fastboot mode. All of the instructions that I have read start with installing drivers for ADB, which requires the phone to be USB debugging mode, and then the drivers for fastboot. So I thought my trouble was, since I can not install the drivers for ADB, and that I was having trouble with all of my drivers, that it was probably the fact that my phone can not be put into USB debugging mode. I now realize that USB debugging has nothing to do with fastboot, as fastboot is before the OS is booted. I am still just having trouble with my fastboot driver and seeing my phone with fastboot.exe.

My galaxy C5 is also not recognized as a bootloader interface while in fastboot mode, after installing all the drivers correctly. Samsung usb driver v1.5.63.0 makes the changes i think, and it makes it as a modem instead of bootloader. maybe the solution is i have to manually update the driver of that modem into bootloader, right click on the modem in device manager and change it's driver into bootloader of your phone, maybe it works. I will try it this way.
Let me know if this solution has worked for someone.

Hi.
What you want to do exactly?
To Root open bootloader as first.
Developer options /Default usb configuration/ file transfer. Then check if pc "see" your device. fastboot fastboot devices. If visible then u are at home let's say
Make sure your USB port on the phone is clean using compressed air. Though if it works with ADB it should also work in bootloader
