cannot get root or cmw working, help needed

hi there i have tried all the possible methods and i cannot get root to work or CMW to work.
ive unlocked the boot loader with the stock rom that avaiable in the tutorial but once it try to install CMW and root i get nothing...
fasboot does not recognize my device so i see no way out..

You can flash cwm with odin, you'll find the files on droidbasement.com. Sometimes it doesn't "stick" (for the lack of a better word) so do it twice. Then you can use rommanager ONLY to reboot into recovery, for nothing else! and proceed with the steps. Do not ever flash anything ever with rommanager.

For your own sake, try to get fastboot working, it's going to make your life easier. If you're using Windows 8 you're out of luck as the drivers are not correctly signed. (at least that was the case when I tried it last)

Check my response in the other thread.
Its tricky but doable and quite worth it, since fastboot is very powerfull.

You'll have to get fastboot working, no way around it then. There are a ton of links to different versions of drivers in this and other forums, one of them will work.

There may be another way, IF the current ROM has adb installed.
Flash CWM in odin
Go to Settings->Developer options- and set Android debugging to on.
Go to the command line (on the platform-tools folder of the android sdk) and type "adb devices".
If it identifies the device, an id will appear; then type "adb reboot recovery" which should reboot the device into CWM.

Do you have ADB and fastboot software installed in your PC? Either have that or download Android SDK. You can boot your phone via ADB command lines.

Can you reach the boot menu by pressing the volume down key while powering on?
Otherwise, try to check if fastboot is able to see your device and flash some new boot and system image

You have a Nexus One, not sure why you're using the Nexus 7 Toolkit..

Thank you for asking. able to enter boot menu and fastboot menu. but cant flash anything, i'll tried new boot new system img's. Nothing. When connecting to PC fastboot showing Fastboot USB mode is enabled. unable to do nothing via adb mode. adb mode say error device not found.
Thanks for answer

Are drivers installed? And have you installed adb and fastboot correctly?

Yes, installed correct. it show up in the Device Manager list.
Anyway, i go to try this driver. Thanks. Let me know u

hmm. unlucky. Still nothing. Windows take a signal when connecting phone shows on fastboot menu => fastboot usb and adb mode say error device not found:crying:
i scanned my drivers using driver genius v11, i saw android driver named Samsung_Android_4.0_usbdrivers. now i think its something wrong with my boot.img?

When you see fastboot usb, and you type fastboot devices in a terminal, what does it say? ADB only works in recovery or when your ROM is booted, so just focus on fastboot.

it say when N1 is fastboot usb mode "error device not found". thanks for advance. tomorrow i'll be ask more.

Hey guys. Finally my N1 detected in adb mode. Im used Nexus 7 toolkit, downloaded N1 official Rom (i used only boot.img from zip file)
1st ive installed toolkit, then flashed boot.img (from official rom) to /system/ folder. Finally Windows device manager say detected new device and downloading drivers.
Started cmd.exe typed adb shell => adb mode showed HT9**********. Now problem is wont boot. What i do now? :silly:

i hope u can enter fastboot usb mode. if so try flashing any recovery.img

Stuck installing Plasma Active on Nexus 7

So I've been trying to install Plasma Active on my Nexus 7. I followed the PA wiki and everything was going well. I got MOSLO installed, and then extracted the PA tarball and then rebooted. It didn't boot into PA, but the wiki mentioned that it might not. So it has a section describing some commands to run in fastboot to get it to boot PA at this point.
The problem is that after I installed MOSLO and extracted PA, I can no longer see the Nexus 7 with fastboot. When I run "fastboot devices" or "adb devices" nothing shows up.
Any one have any thoughts on what might be going on?
Thanks for your help!

Your N7 is in bootloader mode and all PC drivers are installed correct?

Correct. Fastboot worked fine when I unlocked the N7, and then when I installed moslo. But after installing PA, fastboot no longer sees the N7.

What exactly is moslo? It may have interfered with the bootloader.

The wiki isn't totally clear on what part MOSLO plays.
I would link you to the wiki that I followed, but the forum is preventing me from putting urls in my post.

Does it do ANYTHING? Hopefully it isn't in nvedit mod.
ADB is only good when you have the phone booted up and USB Debugging turned on.
Fastboot commands only work when the device is in bootloader mode.
If your phone is past bootloader mode, but getting stuck in a bootloop or something, then ADB will be unavailable too.
Try Turning the phone off completely, holding VOLUME DOWN + UP + POWER until it boots into the Bootloader. Then Connect it up to the PC and run your fastboot commands.

Can you get into any form of custom recovery? If so you have a few options that could help.

If I hold power and volume down, I can boot into the bootloader. same if I hold power and both volume keys. That's what gives me fastboot access (or would normally).
I can do that. And I can boot into the MOSLO. But I cannot get into Plasma Active. One of the last errors that I can see before MOSLO reboots is "no rootfs found. ignoring."
When I first started, I could hold power and volume down to get into the bootloader, and my computer could see it from fastboot. That is how I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the MOSLO. But once I installed Plasma Active, I couldn't see the device in fastboot anymore. And instead of booting into Plasma Active, it just shows the dead android on its back with the red triangle exclamation point.
Since the xda forum won't let me post links, if you google "install plasma active on nexus 7", the second option is the wiki for the project I'm following.

No. If I'm in the bootloader and tell it to reboot into "recovery mode", it just shows me the dead android with the red triangle exclamation point. I imagine that is because android is no longer on the device. Which is what I want. I'm trying to put a new OS on here. Though I don't suppose that helps much.

Android with red triangle and exclamation mark means you don't have a custom recovery installed.

No fastboot and no custom recovery...does MOSLO have any form of options?

Did a little research and there is a dual boot option, you just use the dual boot tool and flash a zip and you have plasma active as a ROM.

Yeah, there's the dual boot option. Though I chose to go with the single OS option. In that case, it does repalce Android completely.

Also, does not allow me to backup to external_sd.

Sorry. Posted this question in the wrong section.
Basically wanna copy out the phone's TWRP backup folder to PC to save up the stock unroot version.
And was not able to do that due to Set UID and CID in permission, something with the kernel security.

[Q] Wiped the ROM, have no backup and nothing on the phone to flash...

Yes, I'm stupid and know better, but I just picked up a One, unlocked the bootloader, rooted and went S-off, ran the Superwipe script, but forgot to put a ROM to flash on the phone, and now I can only toggle between Recovery and bootloader. When I try to sideload a ROM in Recovery using the All-In-One, I get is "error: device not found". And when I use the command "adb devices", nothing shows up. I know I have a connection because the All in One tool does allow me to push a recovery to the phone, but I can't do much else.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
