[Q] fastboot-device not recognized issue

Yes, I have searched... ALL OVER!
I have the new 1.6 sdk installed. I'm running the Cyanogen 4.1.999 ROM Donut/1.6. I have adb working. But, I can NOT get fastboot to recognize my device.
I have tried the following:
I have uninstalled the mass storage device - problem here is that Windows automatically installs the drivers again and I CAN'T stop it!
I have gone into the device manager/mass storage device and instructed it to update the drivers using the new 1.6 sdk. The message I received was that I was using the most up to date drivers.
I have found additional tips to solve this problem if I was running Linux. But, I can't find anything I haven't tried for Windows 64-bit....

You even title your question Q and don't post in the Q&A section?

Sorry, I didn't realize I was still in the Android Dev section when I started the thread. I was in a hurry.
If a Moderator will please move this to the Q&A section!

you are running fastboot from the SPL arent you...if not you need to boot up with (Cam+Power)
you need the engineering spl, hardspl, or haykuro spl for fastboot. you also need to make sure fastboot is active on the phone (make sure it says fastboot on it in the bootloader. if not, press the back button)

Yes, sir done all of the above. ADB works great. Boot into spl - shows Fastboot USB. I just get "waiting for device" in the command window. This should be a windows setting, driver install process, or something that either I am missing, doing wrong, or that I don't have installed. But, I have attempted everything I can find on the net. I worked at it for about three hours the other night. The wife was pissed b/c I was on the computer for so long.

Well is fastboot devices showing up under device manager?
it is most likely a driver error. note that if you have haykuro's spl, he has different drivers for it. you will need to get them from his google code page

ok I'm trying to get the PSGroove so what is fastboot? An app? Please explain

If you cannot get the sdk usb drivers to work for you when your entering into fastboot, try installing htc sync. It has additional drivers that may work. I have attached a driver pack that i use.

please help, no hair left from this tattoo

hello sorry for another "please help" thread but i am close to giving up
ii am trying t get cyanogen on my tattoo but fail miserably each time.
i created the goldcard, seems fine.
tried using the 1click root and recovery tool, but it tells me that ther is no room on device.
are all my problems caused by having the orange 1.67.61.43 on it? and if so how can i get the dam thing off.
ive tried this
RUU_Click_HTC_WWE_1.67.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
but get an error 170.. and yes im on windows 7... but i have also tried on a xp machine.
has anyone managed to get a custom image on 1.67.61.43, and if so please enlighten me
any help would be grealy appriciated

Did you enable USB debugging?
Has the 170 default, it could be a driver or the USB cable fault.

hi, thanks for reply.
usb debuggin was on, and as for faulty cable it worked fine when creating the gold card.
that i did with tattoo in disk drive mode.
it did root but didnt install custom recovery.. if i try to go ito recovery (home + power) i get an exclamatoin mark and a little phone. that ive ben told hppens with standard recovery

same thing if i try rooting device then usinf the terminal to flash the recovery.
get errors writing recovery and no room on device

Here is the tatto-hack.co for your kernel, you must use this for a successful root:

thanks
can i use thi with the 1click automated root + recovery.. just replace the file in the bin folder?

I think that you can. If you don't succeed, then try to use the manual method of rooting.

it worked!!!! thanks pal... really
the slow reply was because i was online shopping for a new phone, lol.. had fallen out with this one. but its all good now
it did work with the 1click effort,
thanks agen

[Q] clockwork mod installed but formatted everything stuck no update.zip help plz

I looked through other similiar threads but they are for other phones so i wanted to start this thread to get unstuck with my samsung i897 with clockwork mod installed. I guess im good at learning things the hard way so here i am stuck at the mercy of you guys. this is what i figure i can do to get the update.zip i can put my sd card in a sd card reader then hook it up to my pc then manually copy update.zip to it to get access through the clockwork mod bios then point it to the freshly copied file but the prob is i dont have a usb sd card reader and i have ignorantly formatted everything on my phone so i can boot up only to the clockwork mod bios with nothing for it to work with so can any of you give me a laymens term step by step noobie style walkthru out of the kindness of your heart or pure boredom? thanks and i figue almost bricking my phone is a good way to learn this stuff So am i stuck having to get a sd card reader for my pc then download the update.zip or if there are alternatives to update.zip then id like to know but is this the only way to get me out of this situation of just having the clockwork bios and nothing else? if someone has a quickfix please let me know or point me to some solution please

Flash back to stock with ODIN that will fix your phone.... Why would u format?

Cuz i like to jump the gun before thinking alot of times thats why i learn the hard way most of the time it builds character also i learn stuff that i never wanted to learn but it helps me in the long run.

Carefull jumping the gun will land you with a hardbrick...

Ok I tried the [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY
thread located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and i did it step by step with the mentioned drivers installed and i cant get oden to reconize my phone im in download mode followed the directions to a t with nothin :/ do you have any other ideas?

Is your phone running CyanogenMod or MIUI?

its running the \update-cm-7.1.0-Captivate-signed.zip or it says this when it boots into the custom bios clockwork mod recovery v2.5.1.0 speedmod ulfk and the bios text is in green with the reboot system now options - apply sdcard:update.zip and -wipe data/factory reset and - wipe cach partition and install zip from sdcard and - backup and restore and - mounsts and storage and advanced clockworkmod feautures and - advanced speedmod ulk features and- ********go back******* etc and their subdirectories but thats all i can get because i guess thats all left on my phone . i can get the com recognition when i boot up to recovery mode but not when i boot into download mode which is what i need to be in obviously because i cant get odin to run all the way through in recovery mode it sticks and freezes and this is what i get <ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..

Then you need Nexus S drivers. I recommend you also download android SDK while your at it. FYI any AOSP (CyanogenMod, MIUI, etc) use Nexus S drivers.

Ok im trying to reinstall my driver for windows 7 nexus driver u mentioned btw my device is listed as gadget serial under devices and printers ok ive chosen 16_Shrewsbury and trying to update the gadget serial to the shrewsbury driver i keep getting select device - the folder you specified doesnt contain a compatible software driver for your device. if the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for 32-bit systems and just to let you know the driver file name i downloaded is samsung_driver the one i was using before was SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86 so it seems i have a tricky aggravating device driver problem that is what makes all this hard in the first place trying to find needle in the haystack drivers when they should be outlined correctly instead of this. but anyway im hanging int their because i have a brick with nothing else so far. thanks agian for your patience in joining in my aggravatiion.

I really can't say. I just use SDK for that. =/ I've never installed any nexus S drivers, but I assume you can grab legit drivers from nexus site.

This is what im going to try now, im going to unistall and try to seek out all the drivers and do away with them i wish there was a samsung driver eliminator program so i can go through the trial and error correct driver thing which i shouldnt be going through because i had the correct drivers before enough to root my phone in the first place this is just crazy but i consistently run across these driver issues when dealing with windows so i should just accept this i how it is and keep plugging at it till i finally have a phone again well if anyone has a miracle answer for me then feel free to relieve my anxiety and bless me with just 1 time a simple fix lol. I guess if this was simple in the first place everyone would be doing it.

When i ran MIUI, the only time i had a driver problem was with adb. Rest if the t time, Samsung drivers worked fine. You could always use heimdall, on Ubuntu (google wubi installer)

im still stuck trying to get odin3 to reconize my device in download mode so i can one click fix my phone back to factory default , the trouble im facing is that i cant seem to get the correct driver ive tried so many different ones and im fighting windows 7 because it keeps putting i9000 or nexus drivers in automaticallly when i unplug the usb and reinsert in to initiate download mode. like i said in an earlier post i wish i had a proggie that could seek out the device drivers and annihilate them so i could start from scractch as yet im trying to find them myself manually and do away with them with not much luck.

Soft Brick Fix - Samsung Captivate
Another "Jump the gunner". That's me in a nutshell.
Here are the steps you will need to take in order to un-brick your phone.
(I have done this so many times, but I have never written a tutorial)
First off, it sounds like you have the wrong drivers installed for your phone. Most computers have more than one use port, and it will attempt to install the driver for the phone for every different port you plug it into. But lets fix the one that you have that's messed up already.
-With your phone in download mode, plug it into the USB port.
-Open control panel, system, then click on device manager in the left column of the window.
-At the bottom of the list you will see "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"
-Expand this list.
-Find the device that is supposed to be resembling your phone. If you don't know the name, you may be able to check by the windows clock for the green circle with the check mark in it, clicking this will tell you what "Ejectable" USB devices are connected.
-Right click the matching device name in the Device manager screen and then click uninstall.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Download the correct drivers:
Samsung USB Drivers
(go here, click software, USB driver should be first listing)
-Install the driver from where you downloaded it to.
-Plug in your phone while in download mode.
-Verify that the correct driver has been installed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Open your phone and remove the battery.
-Replace the battery and battery cover.
-Open any Odin one click from this thread (Recommend one with Gingerbread bootloaders)...
Odin One Clicks
-Boot phone into download mode
-Plug phone into USB (After Odin is open)
-When you see the yellow COM port lit up, flash.
That should do it!

followed your advice and im still stuck with every device driver i try it either says will not reconzie my device or that device cannot start etc. i refuse to give up so if you guys are on this journey with me thats kewl. ok instead of manually trying to install the driver i goto setup now and when i run it i get this message
Install driver - SAMSUNG Android USB Modem Software was not installed successfully (16) There is a driver installed for the device, please uninstall first.
So now im in device manager trying to find the correct driver to uninstall since its not listed under usb devices it only comes up as gadget serial under other devices. Im trying to get rid of the drivers but i seem to be stuck in a loop . i found this link http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/get-rid-of-old-device-drivers-hidden-in-vista/867 so im trying the advice here and seeing if i can remove the device and add the right one man i should just reformat my hd and put in linux or unix or any os besides windows then id probably be ok.

You don't have to reformat to do Linux. It will run via a live usb drive or a side-by-side installation.

ok i used the advice from http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/get-rid-of-old-device-drivers-hidden-in-vista/867 and showed hidden devices and removed all samsung drivers or anything remotely resembling samsung usb drivers including the gadget serial device and then reinstalled the supposedly correct drivers for my i897 atnt captivate or craptivate and it installed but gives me this error gadget serial control failed so now i suppose i have to find a driver that doesnt exist for a device that isnt correctly being identified by win 7 as a samsung galaxy s sgh-i897 antnt captivate. or does anyone know of a gadget serial control driver that will work so that odin3 will reconize my device so i can get some semblance of a cellphone back? no im trying the advice from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355666 with the title [SOLVED] Gadget Serial Issue - No Flash my problem is i have the same prob but require a flash.

Have you given heimdall a try? It uses different drivers than Odin.

I didnt have to use heimdal odin3 finally reconized my phone after following my previous post option and installing previous set of drivers for my phone not the newest seems u can save a brick after all but pain in the rear but now ive learned so im
ready to hack my phone to death lol btw if anyone else has this prob feel free to ask me fer help lol and thank you very much for all the help in this wonderful forum top notch support guys with this kind of diligence there is nothing u guys cant do )

Good Luck

[Q] HELP: Stuck in bootloader or no USB

Hi All,
from one moment to another my X1 decided to boot into bootloader mode.
The strange thing is however, that when I connect it to the USB of my PC and reset the X1, it boots normally. Well, almost normal as the USB doesn't seem to be working.
I flashed the rom to APP-SW_X1_GENERIC_UK_1213-6450_R3AA010__KOVS using the SDCard and that worked without a problem. But still the X1 boots into bootloader mode (except when connected to the PC).
I tried a hardreset, pressed the volume down button several times (to make sure it isn't stuck), tried to use MTTY (but that doesn't show a prompt), but nothing seems to help.
Is there anyone who can help me with this, because I'm out of ideas....
Update:
I managed to boot the OS (USB connected) and install HSPL using Xperia-SSPL-Manual. This succeeded and I now have SPL-0.78.OliNext. I flashed the phone to a new ROM (826x_KOVSKY_29017_2021), and that succeeded as well. It didn't solve my problem however. I still get the bootloader screen when I start the phone and can only start the OS by starting with USB connected...
Update2:
Yesterday evening I took the whole phone apart to make sure no buttons are/were stuck. Didn't find anything, put it back together and it still boots into bootloader.
I also managed to get a connection to the phone using NueTTY. I executed command Set 14 0, restarted the phone...and still it boots into bootloader.
If there is any one who knows of something that I haven't tried yet, PLEASE let me know....

same problem,,if there's a way to flash recovery from sd card in fastboot mode,,that'd be great

Flashing the ROM is no problem, I can put every ROM on it that I like. But even after flashing the ROM the phone still starts in bootloader....

You can try to go into the bootloader on ur pc and use recovery.bat with fastboot.

hi, I'm kind of having the same issue as you do..can you please be of help and tell me how did you manage to HSPL it to 0.78.OliNex?
Correct me If I am wrong, but you must copy Xpera_SSPL_Manual. exe on X1, run it from file explorer and then run X1_HardSPL.exe on your PC, whlie X1 is connected via usb (although mine also doesn't recognize the X1) ?
i would really apreciate it... thnx

i have the same problem guys, did anyone of you found any solution for this?

same problem
Have you tried to do a task29 with KovskyAdvancedRUU?

[Q] Can Anybody Help Me

So I tried to load a ROM to get 4.4.2 and upon start up I got stuck on the new Boot screen. I'm pretty sure I bricked it, I tried clearing cache and dalvik cache and system (with TWRP) after I had no luck there. Now upon start up I get stuck on the HTC boot screen. Is there anyway I can fix this, I pretty much define the word newbie on this stuff so any step by step help is really appreciated

As a follow up I also get a message when trying to do anything from recovery that says ' No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to ____?' and the phone is no longer recognised by my pc (I have all relevant drivers)although the pc acknowledges that there is something in the usb port

Are you using Windows 8/8.1 ?
Had the problem, too and found a fix for it... Install Win7 or something older
The Thing with "No OS installed"... have u got a unlocked Bootloader? :/
