OK I'm sorry but I'm Having issues with Fastboot - G1 General

I tried asking in the Boot Image thread but since that thread was originally posted in January, I dont think anyone even goes in there anymore. OK this is what Ive got.
Im not sure if it was the new radio update or the JF1.5 or 1.51 but ever since Ive upgraded from RC33 the fastboot screen has changed and I havent been able to change my Boot Image.
Instead of just connecting the phone to the computer and pressing back to get fastboot it now give me 4 options instead of just fastboot.Up top it says
FASTBOOT USB (highlighted in red) then
<CAMERA STEP2> HBoot Mode
<SEND> Reset Device
<ACTION> Restart to HBoot
<MENU> Power Down
Is there a new driver i have to download? or is it something else? because when i go to RUN/CMD and I type in the correct commands to change the Boot Image it does nothing it says <waiting for device>
I'm Sorry if this may seem like a dumb Q? but I figured maybe I wasn't the only one having this problem?

sorry I dont really know the answer man, sounds like you are using a new spl or some other bootloader. However, just to let you know, you really needed to post this in the dev section and not the theme section. you probably would get a better response over there.
Stericson

un install your phones drivers in device manager.
unplug your phone,
reboot your computer into safe mode.
plug your phone into usb.
a dialog box will pop up, navigate it to the sdk folder or wherever you have the g1 drivers. install them. wait till it finishes.
then unplug your phone and boot it into fastboot mode. the plug it back in again. and install the same drivers again
unplug your phone and reboot your computer. you should be able to access your phone in fast boot now.
dont push boot images in safe mode, it may be unstable

Thanx guys let me see what i can do
Editk i must have updated to another SPL so i went back to the Original HardSpl and it came back thanx stericson fo the Idea. back to normal
Message to MODS: you can close this if you want I'm sorry for wasting space

Hi,
There is a new driver for the usb connection.
Unzip this file to a folder and plug in your phone don't Mount .
The computer should ask for a driver.
if it doesn't look in control panel, system, usb controllers.
One of the devices will should a problem, update the driver with the files you downloaded and you should be ok.
The computer doesn't recognize the new bootloader until you update the driver.
When you then plug in your phone, it will say fastboot usb.

mytouch 3g 3.5 problems please help

i have a problem with my tmobile branded mytouch 3g 3.5mm version
first off i got this second off my buddy in great shape almost new
has the 2.2.1 update but man it sucks FC alot very laggy
well my first problem is it will not connect to the computer either usb storage mode or usb debugging plus no options for any usb storage mode is this normal?
ps it does charge my phone but no option for charging or usb storage mode
plus i did a factory restore doing the same thing
i know the usb cable works because my gf uses it for her mytouch and it works flawless but see she never upgraded shes on 1.6 still
second i thought tmobile mytouchs had a pvt32b boards or am i wrong?
mine says
sapphire pvt 32a ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp31000)
cpld-13
radio 2.22.28.25
well all in all i wanna root it but ive tried z4root nothing
universalroot nada
tried to downgrade nada
i just wanna get off this stupid froyo and put a custom rom or something that actually works any suggestions on what to do
EDIT: when i turn on usb debugging and try adb devices nothing shows up i know i got the right drivers because my gfs MT3G shows up under adb devices
Boot into fastboot and plug it up to the computer while on that screen to see if Windows will start installing drivers. The issue with the computer not recognizing the phone is driver related so if the previow try doesn't work, you'll need to manually uninstall them which I will link to in a second. After that you can use either guide in my signature to root. I'll also link you to a topic to clear up the confusion about the board.

To manually re-install the drivers: here. Look at Section III.

ok i booted into fastboot mode and windows did start to install drivers and it said device is ready etc but when i go back into android nada still doesnt see the phone
Use the link from my second post to reinstall the drivers. The other possibility is that USB is hosed in the ROM.

ii think the usb is hosed on the rom..... what now? lol i can get into the recovery menu by pressing home and power but it wont let me choose anything
ps while in fastboot mode it suddenly said fastboot usb and it popped up on my computer but nothing after that
Let me get back to my computer, about 20 minutes. So even if you select the factory reset option in recovery, it doesn't do anything? If that does work it'll wipe all your apps and you'll have to log back in with your Google account.

its a new phone i havent done anything since i noticed how bad froyo sucked on here
so i dont have apps files etc on it its still clean
and yeah i can get into the recovery thing but i cant select anything i can navi with the volume and trackball to like highlight wipe data etc etc but when i try pushing buttons to try and select anything i cant even tried pushing in the trackball nothing i cant get it to do anything
i know pushing the trackball function works because it works under android
this suckssssss
Doesn't suck. It's definitely fixable, just trying to figure out how much work it's going to be.
Try using the new school guide to root from my signature. If we run into problems its going to be while your using SuperOneClick to try and root. I'm hoping it works though. Try that, let me know whether SuperOneClick works or if you have a problem. If you have a problem, please copy the log and post it with the problem.
what if i try flashing the stock oem rom via volume down+ power sequence
and where can i download it
the computer doesnt see anything so its says waiting for device on the superoneclick
can i try flashing the oem rom?
That would get you back to 1.6. If you don't want to root and install a new ROM you can do that. Let me know and I'll provide what you need.
i mean like the official ota 2.2.1 just to see if it was the rom thats screwing with the usb connections
edit i think it has to be in the img extension i tried to downgrade but it gave me a model id error
Not without downgrading to 1.6 first and then upgrading back to 2.2.1. If recovery was working we could just re-flash the 2.2.1 ROM which would probably fix the issues your having. So do you want to downgrade to 1.6 and then root, downgrade to 1.6 and stay there, or downgrade to 1.6 and then re-update to 2.2.1?
trackball isnt working maybe after a lil googling it says to push in the trackball to do a restore in the recovery menu but its not working
i wont mind downgrading
No, it's a common problem with the recovery after running the update. Just downgrading?
i just wanna get off of froyo so what ever i gotta do i am pretty savy but ive never encountered this problem etc so im sure i can follow directions
the oem froyo sucks i just wanna try a new rom
1. Download this file, rename it to "sappimg.zip".
2. Put it on your SD card.
3. Turn the phone off.
4. Boot into hboot by holding (volume down+power), after a few seconds you'll see a bar pop up in the upper right-hand corner.
5. When prompted to hit "ACTION" to apply the image, press the trackball in.
6. You'll see a few different bars pop up in the upper right-hand corner, and then it'll ask if you want to reboot. Press the trackball in to reboot.
7. /fistpump, you're now on 1.6.
Note: You will eventually get the prompt to update again. Make sure you don't or you'll end up going through this again. If you decide later on to root, just use the "New School" guide in my signature. The "Old School" guide will work for your phone as well, but it's a lot harder and more time consuming.
it doesnt find anything i renamed file to sappimg.zip put it on the root of the sd card and it doesnt find anything
anything else?

Strange Bootloop problems!!!

Ok, i have a mytouch 4g that has never been rooted. The problem with the phone is that all of the sudden when i try to turn it on it wont get pass the splash screen. It will just turn off and reboot to the splash screen over and over. Thing is that i can get into Hboot quite easily. I tried to reflash the stock IMAGE file and it does it well without problems. But once its done and i hit power to reboot, the phone just starts to bootloop again doing the exact same thing. I know its kinda odd but i read somewhere that if i can get into Hboot the eMMc is not fried. But then what should be the problem?

Thanks, thats what i thought. Just wanted to ask so if someone have seen this before maybe there was a solution for that. But yeah, something is not right and i also think its a hardware issue.
Same prob here...anything like odin for htc? Engineering mode? I used two diff zip files tha were supposed to be the same recovery/ stock image/zip... think it i15img.zip or something... one does not do anything cept try and parse and restart other goes thru ok ok ok ok ok ok then skips the tp tp writes and says deferred or something but looks to get the job done but nah... what are the tp writes I skips...think they are right before the radio write...arg too tired

HTC's too pro to have odin
the stock image file is named "PD15IMG.zip" and should be flashed in the bootloader.
Same here, this one skip the tp tp saying Bypassed on the second tp but everything seems to run ok. Only thing is that when i hit power after the update it will just start with the bootloop again. Since this is a friend, I dont really know what version it was running. But i do know its never been rooted or anything like that. Its on .86.000 and S-on and everything. Im going to try the gingerbread just for fun and see what happens.
thinking tese are Gingerbread update fails?
Let us know how the gingerbread turns out...Someone must have a recovery zip? Its obvious the two files I am trying to flash named the same thing are not the same thing or one is corrupted....211mb takes an hour on my connection now ANYONE HAVE A RECOVERY ZIP? Is there a program like odin(OK NOW I KNOW TO USE CMD AND ADB) Now I need a mytouch button press sequence to get to ENGINEERING MODE? to write to the frickin thing...I thought HTC was gonna be better than Samsung in this respect...I have one good mytouch4g that I can get the serial using the command 'adb devices' that is once mytouch is booted up...so question is how do i get to engineering mode in my bad my touch(which wont boot) so I can PUSH the file in command line interface.

Turn the phone completely off, and turn it on again using volume down+power buttons. This enters hboot, or bootloader, where you flash the stock PD15IMG.zip file.

Once the phone is in bootloader, connect it to the computer, and you should see "fastboot USB" on the phone. Then open up adb, and type
Code:
fastboot devices
Sent from my HTC Glacier Sense 3.5 using xda premium
EDIT: here, download THIS FILE, rename it to PD15IMG.
then place it in the ROOT of your SDcard (not in any folders)
turn off and reboot the device into bootloader
bootloader should find the file and ask if you want to update
not sure if this is the method you used... tell us how it goes
Hmm Command did not say i had any devices (blank line) but my command line interface is in fastboot / adb(whats the differnce?) seems like it sees it? tell me if Im wrong... The command 'Fastboot devices' brought up long dir of commands, then I tried the following commands faastboot push and update PD15IMG (See pic below) Thanks for your help! I will try your zip! (but I would like to push from command line fastboot)

does your device say that it's "fastboot USB" somewhere on it? if it says "HBOOT USB", manually scroll to fastboot and select it.
no it does not seem to see it is connected

I know USB works because it attempts to orange led flashes/charges before it turns on but it does not say usb after fastboot

hmm.. might be because you don't have the engineering bootloader.
my mom's is S-on as well, and computer can't see it through fastboot.
anyway, just use the method i told you, move it onto the SDcard manually
Computer cant see it, but can it write to it?(i want to try) What is proper command to push pd15IMG in adb/fastboot? should I do it in adb or fastboot on computer? and what mode on phone: hboot or fastboot? thx G

Is my DHD dead? (stucked in HBOOT, any option I choose, it always backs to HBOOT)

Hello everybody,
I have a HTC Desire HD which I was using the Android Revolution 6.3.2 with the recommended radio. I was running everything well for 2 weeks more or less.
This last week I went to Croatia for holidays and I realized something. Suddenly, the battery was finishing very fast. Then I removed the battery and put it on again and the nightmare started.
It went to the HBOOT screen and I'm stucked there. Doesn't matter which option I choose, it always back to the same screen. I can select reboot in fastboot, reboot in recovery, and nothing happens. It just back to the same screen over and over again.
I tried to remove the SIM CARD, SD CARD, take the battery off for an hour, and nothing.
I tried to flash the recovery again via ADB, but it doesn't work. It doesn't enter into the recovery. It just still keep backing from the same HBOOT screen.
I tried to run the RUU again. I got two different versions, and in both of them, starts well, it reboots my phone and when it backs, it says "waiting for fastboot" and I got a timeout message saying that the USB cable is not connected (the usb cable is fine).
I tried also to extract the ROM file from the RUU, put on the SDCARD (named as PD98IMG.zip) and run directly on the phone. It didn't work.
I have access from ADB (because when I plug the USB, I can see on the HBOOT screen).
Does someone has any idea of how to solve that? My knowledge is not so deep and I googled/read most of the things I tried.
Any fastboot or adb command that I can type and will bring my phone back?
Thanks for the help guys!

[Q]Bricked ?

This is what happens :
1. When I normally turn my N7 on , it goes throught the google logo and gets stuck on the ROM logo .
2. I can get into the bootloader when the USB is plugged off , but i cant get into recovery it just gets stuck on the google logo .
3.If I plug my USB in while in the bootloader the bootloader gets stucked and i cant move around in it or flash anything , but my PC recognize that an android device is connected . (if i get into the bootloader when the USB is allready connected it gets in the bootloader main screen but i cant move) .
So i cant flash , get into the rom or return to stock .
ANY IDEAS ?? please help me :crying::crying:
Bump
Definitely not bricked since of powers on. Fastboot flash the stock image and you should be good as new.

Strange, it shouldn't make a difference whether your USB is plugged or not when trying to get to the recovery.
If you get into the fast boot menu or "boot loader main screen" and you press the volume down button a few times you get no response? Sometimes it takes a few seconds for mine to switch to recovery,etc.
Also, what caused your tablet to get stuck in that state?

If I press the volum dowm bottom while on fast boot menu I can move around the menu if the usb is plugged off , but I can only shutdown or restart the fastboot since the start and recovery options just gets stuck on the google/rom logo if it is plugged in I just gets stuck in the menu and I cant even scroll . yea I waited about half an hour on the google logo trying to get to my recovery and nothing happened .
I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT I DID ! I really dont ! I am an experienced flahser and had been so for almost 2 years now ! I just left my N7 on the table and didnt touch it at all for a week and when I tried to turn it on after that I just got that prob . but I did nothing related to flashing or so - it just happened by staying at the table !
any help ?? PLEASE
I CANT RETURN TO STOCK , if i plugg in the usb fastboot gets stuck .
have you tried charging it on the wall charger to make sure the battery has got a full charge, don't know, just throwing out options
Hmmm, well at least you're able to boot the tablet and get to fastboot menu so its not a hard brick. Sounds like a corrupted partition of sorts if you can't get into ROM or recovery. Someone with more expertise might have a possible solution. I wouldn't lose hope yet.
yes , i did charged it to full batt .
i can get into fastboot but not rom or recovery and when i plugg in usb i have no fastboot , doesnt that mean i wont ever be able to flash ?
if i will make a vid of the prob it will help ?
Get to boot loader and do
fastboot flash recovery C:\File path to recovery on computer
Once you have a recovery installed you can push a ROM to your Nexus via adb.

Or you can always use wugfreshs toolkit and click flash back to stock option and check device won't boot, the same thing happened to me awhile ago and the bootloader problem is cause you have the old bootloader the knew 4.13 bootloader fixed that

It says you can get to the boot loader with the cable unplugged. So get to the boot loader and then plug in the USB.

Lol just calm down man we're all just trying to help you!
Now, you need to get your N7 into the bootloader, it does not matter if you can't navigate the bootloader on your N7. Once in the bootloader, connect the N7 to your computer with the USB cable.
Once you're connected, make sure you've downloaded the Android SDK and open a command prompt. Navigate your command prompt (make sure you ran that command prompt as administrator) to the "platform-tools" directory.
Once in the platform-tools directory run the following command without quotes:
"fastboot devices"
It should return the serial number for your device, indicating that fastboot sees your N7 and can work with it.
After that type
"fastboot flash recovery *.img"
You'll need to head to clockworkmod.com to download the N7 recovery image. Place the downloaded image in the platform-tools directory and replace "*.img" with the filename of the recovery image you downloaded.
That's it! Unplug your N7 and go into recovery, and sideload whatever ROM you want!
Let us know how it goes!
PS: If fastboot devices shows nothing, we have a bigger problem...

Now, you need to get your N7 into the bootloader, it does not matter if you can't navigate the bootloader on your N7. Once in the bootloader, connect the N7 to your computer with the USB cable.
Once you're connected, make sure you've downloaded the Android SDK and open a command prompt. Navigate your command prompt (make sure you ran that command prompt as administrator) to the "platform-tools" directory.
Once in the platform-tools directory run the following command without quotes:
"fastboot devices"
It should return the serial number for your device, indicating that fastboot sees your N7 and can work with it.
After that type
"fastboot flash recovery *.img"
You'll need to head to clockworkmod.com to download the N7 recovery image. Place the downloaded image in the platform-tools directory and replace "*.img" with the filename of the recovery image you downloaded.
That's it! Unplug your N7 and go into recovery, and sideload whatever ROM you want!
Let us know how it goes!
PS: If fastboot devices shows nothing, we have a bigger problem...

Its hard to be calm then you new N7 is dying :/
somthing like this ? (pic attached)
If i did everything like you said it means i do have the bigger prob help me!
OK. Next thing is to ensure your N7 is properly detected in Windows.
Just head to the device manager. You should see Original Android Interface or something along those lines.
Report back with a screenshot, those are very helpful!

Here you go (attached) ! you have everything you need mate ?
I really appreciate the help ! :good::good:
I had similar issues and was able to get back to stock using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. Highly recommended!
From the same command Window, in the same platform - tools directory, does adb devices show your device?
I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.

[Q] Stuck in safe mode

Hi everybody.
I don't know how it happened (I just wanted to do a reboot in the recovery mode), but now I've got the blue led when normally turn my phone on. I can't even access to the fastboot (blue led too).
The only thing I can do, is boot in the safe mode, by booting my phone (connected to the charger) after removing the battery... I tried "reboot to bootloader", without success...
I think it's because of the recovery, because I had some problems during the installation of my last ROM, a few months ago. So I'd think I must flash a new recovery.
ow can I get out???? ADB? Special "trick"? Factory reset from the ROM? Flashing a new recovery (I don't know how...)?
Thank you, Roumaru
I tried to flash a new recovery with ADB, and then reboot to the bootloader, but it didn't work.... I'm really stuck!
Try RUU method if you are able to acces bootloader mode ,or try to search the forum or look into FAQ,for the answer of your problem.

I can't access to the bootloader... I can just access to the safe mode! It's really strange. I'll search in other forums, but I haven't found any answer yet

Install mumilover's Fastboot Commander. Connect it to your PC with a USB cable, turn it on, and run Fastboot Commander. It will display a bunch of information about your phone that will help us diagnose the problem.
Just cut and paste the info it gives you. If it doesn't work, just tell us what information you see on the phone's screen.
You should see something like:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-6.35.07.29

DasBub, he cannot acces bootloader,so he 's not able to see that info

Yes, I understand that he can't get into HBOOT, FASTBOOT, or Recovery using physical buttons. But there are other possibilities we can check. I don't know his skill level, knowledge about the device, or the complete state of his device, so I'm trying to build a clearer picture.
If fastboot reports nothing, what about adb? If adb reports nothing, check device manager to see if it's even noticed by the PC.
When I said "just tell us what information you see on the screen" what I meant was "tell us what the screen is showing, even if it is nothing at all and the blue LED is on". My fault.
I'm curious about the whole "safe mode" business. Is it truly booting into safe mode, where you can see the words "safe mode" on the screen, or is it something else?

I took a look at "fastboot commander", but naturally I need to be in the fastboot to make it work, and I can't access fastboot...
I can NOT boot in HBOOT, FASTBOOT, and Recovery, but when I remove the battery, put it in the phone, plug my charger, and then press the power button, the phone boot normally, except he's in the "safe mode" (can't access some applications, no network). I can control my phone with ADB, but when I tried "adb reboot bootloader", the blue led was here again...
I also tried the RUU method, but the RUU doesn't recognize my phone.
I think it would be good if I could do a "total reset" of my phone, like flashing it or something that can reset the bootloader.
Thank you for your interest
Yeah dude there is fix for you its named JTAG Google it and you will find out what is it.
In my country its cost me 40 Euro to fix i hope in your is cheaper or even better - you can make your own

Could you try something? Make sure your phone is accessible using adb, then do this:
adb -s [serial number for phone, without brackets] reboot oem-78
The serial number can be found using "adb devices".
That should reboot you into RUU mode. If it doesn't work, safe mode should still be accessible.
Please don't post Q&A in the development section.

Doesn't work, the blue led is coming again...
Another idea, except Jtag? Because I don't want to spend money on my Magic, and I don't think I've got the material to do the Jtag...
However, thank you everybody!

Hey, we're not giving up yet
You can access ADB, so it may be possible to push a recovery image onto the device and flash it.
For the original instructions, click this link and focus on Step 9.
Here's a shortened version:
Download roottools and unzip it somewhere on your PC.
With your phone in Safe Mode and connected to your PC, open a command prompt.
If you know which radio you were on (3.X or less, or 6.X), cd to that directory in roottools and push the recovery image.
Example: If you have 6.X, you would
cd c:\roottools\6.35Radio\​adb push Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard​
Next:
cd to the "App" directory of roottools, then
adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 flash_image (you might have to use /data/local/tmp/flash_image or ./flash_image)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img​
If you get through that with no errors, we should be good. If it throws an error at "su" then you should try using SuperOneClick to get temporary root.
If it flashes without errors, you can try "adb reboot recovery" and see what happens.
Resolved
A few days ago, the "safe mode" logo disappeared. Really didn't understand why, but now my problem is solved!
Thank you for all, Roumaru

That's great news! Everything works normally now?
I have heard that a stuck button or trackball is a possible cause. Maybe that was the problem with your phone, but it became unstuck?
Cheers!
