do you have fastboot.exe in the path you are working from? have you pressed back to make the phone go into fastboot mode?

Hey guys. I am running ubuntu 10.10 and i have successfully installed android sdk and the eclipse in their proper places and added the neccessary coding to make everything work. One problem though. When i have my G1 32B in fastboot mode, it wont recognize my phone so i can use fastboot to flash the newest radio and SPL. i know others have achieved to being able to flash it without a problem.. I have tried to troubleshoot this myself with the help of the internet and xda... but still the same problem keeps re occuring. and to tell you the truth, it is really pissing me off. I have downloaded fastboot drivers and placed them in the sdk/tools folder and moved adb to that folder as well for easier access. I dont know what else to do. If any one has any solutions or would be a help please. Thank you for reading.

The question is: can linux see the phone (plug in the phone while in fastboot mode and check dmesg)
If linux sees it and fastboot can't.. make sure its not permission issues [read is fastboot running as root? if not can your user read the USB device?] The phone identifies its self differently in fastboot mode vs. adb/mass storage mode. So don't assume the fact adb works from your normal login means fastboot will also.
linux sees it no problem.. but when im in fastboot mode, its not wanting to list the device.
Try executing fastboot as root.

ok give me 1 sec.. ill go try it our right now. i am trying to flash terry's spl and radio so i can have the extra 14 or 15 megs of ram extra because my g1 is so sluggish right now i can barely use it for anything.
Strange thing with me is that it loads a different driver in fastboot. If I have it turned on normally, in my Device Manager it shows as "ADB interface -> HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface". (I think it used to show as just "HTC Dream"). I had to switch to HTC Bootloader. :/
Edit: only skimmed. Missed anything about Linux.
He's on linux ... the drivers should load automatically.

ok i must be doing something wrong its either me or the laptop.. im doing "su" on the terminal and then when i enter in my password, it says auth failed.... this is friggen bee ess
Try
sudo fastboot devices
And when asking for the password you enter your user's password.

still doing the same thing.
ok, what i did was
1. open terminal
2. cd sdk/tools
3. now i make sure my phone is recognizable while in fastboot mode so i do ./adb devices
4. then when i look at the listed devices, my phone isnt listed..
5. then i try doing sudo fastboot devices and entering my password and its still not working.
let me try restarting my laptop.. perhaps that is going to fix it..
ok, just to make my self look dumber lol.. when my phone is shut off
i pressed back and the power buttons at the same time until the white screen with the android skateboards come up.. am i supposed to then press the trackball button to get into fastboot mode?
cause maybe i am not pressing something correctly to get it to work right. ill keep refreshing this page every minute for a reply..

adb will never work if you are in fastboot mode... and fastboot will only work when in fastboot mode.
so Dont run './adb devices' run './fastboot devices' or as we mentioned to run it as root 'sudo ./fastboot devices'
ok, gotcha. when i did the ./fastboot devices, it told me the Permission denied.
im sorry, i must be really brain dead right now.. i totally forgot to checkmark fastboot as an exectuable on its properties.. now its recognizing my G1 no problem. now its the flashing that is giving me some trouble
I spent a good part of the day reading through all the steps to get my new device (just arrived, 4.4) rooted. I've had several rooted devices before, but always used tools to do it.
Never used adb before, but managed to get the SDK installed and have been playing around with it. That's as far as I got, however.
On my mac, using terminal, I can get adb to see my device (type ./adb devices and it lists it as connected).
When I go through this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
to do any fastboot commands, I always get "waiting for device." Previously I got some kind of pipe error. Yes, usb debugging is on.
I think I'm pretty close to getting flashed down to 4.2.2, just can't get the adb to work.
tl;dr - adb gives me "waiting for device" forever. any ideas how to fix?
Thanks very much!

if your phone is turned on when it is connected to the computer then you can't run fastboot commands. you can only run adb commands. If your phone is in "fastboot mode" / bootloader screen, then you can run fastboot commands but not adb commands. Not sure this is your issue but based on your info it is my best guess at where you are having problems.

that sounds about right! thanks!
how do I get the phone into fastboot mode/bootloader screen? or better yet, when i'm doing this whole process, in what mode should the phone be and how do I get it there?

I have a problem with trying to see the phone in cmd. Fastboot goes fine it connects I have all drivers on still nothing works at all. I can't figure it out cause I need to get rid of this bloatware.

I'm sorry but you'll have to elaborate on your problem. Are you having trouble using adb in cmd? As in no devices list when you type adb devices but they do when you type fastboot devices ? You may need to check what you downloaded/installed and make sure that the folder that it downloaded to--that you've cd'ed into to use adb/fastboot--does contain adb.exe. I suggest this installer straight from Google. Also, adb will only display/connect devices when it's not in fastboot mode.
idk
I'm having problems with getting my token code to unlock my boot loader thru HTC but I downloaded the right software and it does recognise the device as adb but when I go into cmd prompt and type fastboot oem get_token_identifier it's not recognized and doesn't do anything. So I'm stuck on getting my token for htc
Hello guys,
I have 3 identical phones i-mobile IQ2. They are shared among our family.
Mine (fortunately) is runnng fine. The 2 others not so. That's the reason why I want to flash a different ROM.
I have 2 Computers, One with Windows, the other Linux. Both are equipped with adb/fastboot.
What did I do?
1) enabled developer options in the settings.
2) enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock in developer options.
3) Connect the phone via USB
4) Terminal command "adb devices" shows correct serial number of the phone
5) and here it starts. After typing "adb reboot bootloader", the phone shows the white i-mobile screen which is shown when you enter fastboot mode. But....
6) "fastboot devices" results in the terminal message "waiting for any devices"
And that's it. Nothing happens. Retried with 2 phones and always the same. The funny thing is that on my identical phone, there is not a problem and typing "fastboot devices" results in a proper recognition of my phone.
So.... is there anything that I could have done wrong or that I forgot? How can I unlock my bootloader in a different way? As far as I know, adb commands are usually the last resort.
I would appreciate every help. Thanks
You need to install fastboot drivers for your device when your device is in fastboot mode as I know.
here is the right drivers for me in the whole internet: https://mega.nz/#!YcUABBpR!_8w6S5zj_Ct2eBMPr6cL1d1NhC4AZEfphOSQJRJZmjU
I had the same problem on my gm4g nd i solved installing the correct driver just like nhmanas said. Good luck.

First, you need your bootloader to be unlocked. It's pretty easy if you have that done already.
You'll need ADB and Fastboot. It can be tricky to get the right drivers. The driver used when your phone is connected in normal mode is not the same when connected in fastboot mode, in my experience anyway. You'll want the 15sec ADB driver and you'll need to update the driver when it is in fastboot mode.
Next, get the correct twrp img and put it in the ADB folder(you'll need a different one based on flashing a pie rom or a q rom). You may want to rename it so it's easier to type in fastboot.
To enter fastboot mode, hold volume up and plug in the usb cable. The LED should light up blue.
Open a command prompt and navigate to wherever you've installed ADB(mine is on C:\ so it's really easy).
Type "fastboot devices" to double check if the driver is installed and your phone is connected in fastboot mode.
------It should show something like: BH9090808E fastboot
Then type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - or whatever you've named the file. It will take less than a few seconds.
Then type "fastboot reboot" and let your phone reboot.
Done
Thanks a lot for the reply!
I've been experiencing the exact issues you described. I'm having issues unlocking the Bootloader. "Fastboot.exe devices" does not show anything, the phone is with a blue led on and a balck screen and when I look in Device Manager there's an "Other" Android device with an "!".
Could you please share the drivers you mentioned? Because I really went through
everything and none was accepted. Also the 15 Seconds ADB Drivers did not help.
Thanks!

My apologies. It's been so long since I've started from scratch, I must've gotten the drivers mixed up. The 15sec ADB is for the phone connected in normal mode.
I'm pretty sure this one is the fastboot one:

If not, I'm sorry because that's all I have.
I nailed it eventually!
