help with fastboot

I need to get fastboot working to flash the 2708+ radio/hboot combo, for a rom I want to try. No devices show up under fastboot devices (from command prompt), but it does show up under adb devices. I don't have sdk properly installed, for some reason it wont take on my pc. It was a lengthy process getting adb to work a few months ago, I don't even remember what I did. Please help.

make certain the phone is in fastboot and not hboot mode by hitting the back button

you can flash the radio in recovery,attention it has chance to be bricked.

Ok i just recently installed adb for the same reason, i had trouble at first but then i found this video which made everything really easy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg-cGTZE2XI&feature=related
Now adb works on my computer perfectly
once u install adb fastboot is already there, all u have to do is install the correct drivers for fastboot. So this is what you do:
1. turn off your phone and then turn it back on using the back and home button
(this will boot you into bootloader)
2. Now it should some information and it should say FASTBOOT in green letters.
3. If it does, now plugin your usb to your phone and computer and now it will say FASTBOOT USB.
4. NOw that your phone is in fastboot, go to command prompt on your pc to lauch fastboot.
5.If you installed adb using the video above, type cd..
6. again type cd..
7. then type cd android
8. last type cd tools
9. To check if your phone is connected to your computer through fastboot, type fastboot devices.
10. It should show a long number and then connected, this is your device, if it doesnt show this u need to install the correct drivers for fastboot, if it does show your device then fastboot is working and you can use it.
11.If its not working, you need to install the correct drivers.
12. Keep your phone in FASTBOOT USB, Just leave it how it is.
13. Now on your pc, go to start.
14. right click on computer
15. click on properties.
16. click on device manager
17. now find your device, since it doesnt have the correct drivers it should be under other devices.
18. once you find it double click on it.
19. click update drivers, and choose the option that lets you choose the drivers.
20. your pc wiil scan for drivers and if you installed adb correctly, their should be adb interface drivers.
21. choose those drivers.
22. now wait for those drivers to install.
23. ANd there now u have the correct drivers for fastboot!
24. to check if it is working repeat steps 4-9
25. IF it does, You now have fastboot working on both your pc and device!

rooting galaxy tab 10.1v (working)

hi, this is how i managed to get root working on my tab, everything went fine for me till it came to booting into recovery then nothing use to happen so i combined two separate guides to get it working. thanks (bcmobile and 411tecknology)
the command in "(getting root 5) )" worked for me as i was getting stuck with "fastboot flash recovery skitzandroid-recovery.img"
i unlocked the bootloader by firmware upgrade the the following
for all those people like me with no experience in dos commands or linux, hope this works for you​
PREPARE:
1) With your Tab in fastboot mode (step 1 of “GETTING ROOT” below), make sure you have a working fastboot implementation:
working dir\\fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number. If there is a problem, you won’t get any response.
2) Downlad the two files attached to this thread
3) create a folder in drive c naming it "root"
This will be referred to as the working directory throughout the rest of this guide
4) Copy skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip to your working directory (DO NOT UNZIP!) c: root
5) Extract the skitzandroid-recovery.img file from skitzandroid-stock-recovery.zip to your working folder. Your working folder( c: root) should now have 1 IMG file and one ZIP file.
6) copy fastboot files to the the folder that you are going to use as working dir ( c:root)
7) Copy the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip file to the root of your sdcard. You can eithe drag/drop, or run:
working dir or c:\root>adb push skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip /sdcard
GETTING ROOT:
1) Power off your Tab and power it back on, while holding the VOLUME DOWN button.
2) When the DOWNLOAD / FASTBOOT icons appear, press VOLUME DOWN again to select FASTBOOT icon (the one with the USB logo) and press VOLUME UP to confirm selection.
3) Confirm you are now in fastboot mode and do a:
fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number.
4) Open a terminal / CMD prompt and CD to your working folder
keep doing cd.. until you get to "c:>" then
cd/root
5) Run the following command:
c:\root> fastboot boot skitzandroid-recovery.img
..and wait. It might not look like anything is happening but it is.
6) You should now have a recovery menu. Use the volume rocker (up/down navigates menu options)
to select “Install zip from SDCARD” (or something like that)
7) Navigate to the root of your internal storage (/sdcard), select the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip file and press (tap!) the POWER button to confirm selection.
Once complete, use the Volume rocker to select “REBOOT” from the menu and press (tap!!!) the POWER button to confirm selection.
9) YOUR’RE DONE. Press the thanks button on this thread to continue
TESTING:
Check your apps menu to confirm the existence of SuperUser app.

whats wrong with this?

Nothing!
I used it on UNLOCKED 10.1v (not from Vodafone) and had no data loss!
Great, Thanks

I do not understand: 3) Confirm you are now in fastboot mode and do a:
fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number.
Where do I enter this data?
I mean - fastboot deviсes

once you start your device in fastboot mode and connect it with the computer to make sure your device is recognized by the computer you open command prompt take it to your working dir.. (ie. c:>root) in our case type fastboot devices and hit enter, if your computer recognized your device you will the serial number under it.

im sorry> can you help me?
When i write in the command line "fastboot.exe devices" nothing happens....

assuming you have installed sdk if not please do so, then staying in sdk go to
(C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools ) by clicking your mouse in desktop
(not cmd prompt). above eg.. is how i installed sdk on my desktop yours may be different, now in platform-tools you will see two files called fastboot copy them both to to your folder called ..root.. and you are set to go.
bottom line is if you want to start fastboot from any folder in cmd you have to have these two files in the folder.
also if you know that your device is detected by your computer dont worry about step 3. all it does is tell you that your device is connected.

I have all turned out, the problem was the drivers. I copied the driver from pdanet and it worked!

You need the drivers installed for fastboot, have you installed them? Please have a look at the [Guide] Unlock your bootloader thread. it contains all the details to get fastboot working.

thank you...finally did it
another noob question...how do i enter in cwm for installing another ROM ???

The easiest way if you are rooted is to install rom manager from the market. It has an option to reboot to recovery if you have CWM installed. It also allows you to update to the latest CWM recovery if there is one.

i've tried putting the TB Galaxy 1.0.9: Honeycomb 3.1 + TouchWiz UX and i made a mistake... in cwm i've uploaded the zip file only with the update and not the rom itself.since then the tab won't start...it stop's in the beggining at the "samsung galaxy tab 10.1v"...any ideea...what can i do ?

Download latest rom and instructions from samfirmware.com using odin Get ur tab into fastboot mode with 3 button recovery and start from scratch.
It should work out

Do the following. If you have not yet odin.
Download the full rom.
Follow instructions in how to get into fasboot in sticky thread.
Once in fastboot you can load recovery via it, to do that download the recovery from droidbasement.com/blog, search on pershoot's website for recovery 4.0.4 if i remember correctly then type
fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of the file you downloaded from droidbasement.com
Recovery will then load give it a minute or so.
Once loaded you can push the downloaded full rom via adb. That is part of the android sdk.
Like this: adb push romfile.zip /data/media/ (this will take a few minutes)
Then in cwm instal rom.
I hope it helps. Btw, remember you need to flash the wipe script of the rom before you install the rom if you are comming from stock.

10x everybody it worked!!!!!!!!

Still me, posting in yet another thread. Still can't get the proper drivers. Pda method is not working. Which version of PDanet should I use ? The latest ? This is ****ing irritating...
I'm used to have to struggle to get things work at the beginning, but with my Magic and Hd2 it was a matter of hours...not weeks ! I'm sure it's something stupid but everybody deserted these guides topics...
I'm actually considering posting in the Dev section just to get attention...
Also, pershoot blog's advices are a joke : with no tags, a not working search field, no categories, try to find an info ! Knowing that the word "Recovery" will pop about 3 times per subject, I'm good to spend the week-end searching...

Hello,
I have been successful with rooting on win7. With win xp - after a few day struggling - fastboot did not give a go. Hope this helps

I just can't get the "Adb Original" signature from Pdanet. I always get standard Adb. I add the galaxy tab lines in the .inf file but still...
Do you guys edit the inf file with Wordpad or another tool ?

[Q] Unlock Bootloader Problem

Hi guys, I have a problem.
I want to flash my N1 with the Cyanogenmod, but I have a problem with Bootloader unlocking. I do exactly what here is written (in the N1 guide from wiki.cyanogenmod), but when I open CMD (win XP) and write "fastboot oem unlock", it just doesn't works, but "adb devices" works and shows my phone. What can I do ? Any ideas ?

You need to boot into bootloader to work with fastboot. And if "adb devices" shows your phone - you obviously didn't boot.
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also, for a more comprehensive guide, please read the Wiki.

Code:
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem unlock
'fastboot' is not recognized as a
operable program or batch file.
This is what it shows in bootloader mode.
P.S. I have already re-installed my drivers. I have to notice that when I try to reinstall the drivers (in fastboot mode), they always auto-install themselves and when I try to update them, they say that there isn't newer version.

Fastboot executable isn't in the same directory as ADB executable, and isn't in the path you're executing it from (which is C:\fastboot).
Check, what is the actual executable you're trying to run, and if you have one. It might be called fastboot-windows.exe, if you didn't get it from downloading the Android SDK.

There is a executable file named "fastboot-windows.exe", but when I try to run it, it just open and close for 1 second. Any ideas ?

I thought the message would be clear by now... Oh well.
Open command prompt.
Run:
fastboot-windows oem unlock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I think It's done but my computer shows this message (see attached) 5 mins and I don't know it's ready or not ? Could I turn on the phone ? (Sry for the easy questions but I'm a real noob, because that's my 1st Android phone.)

The "too many links" message doesn't look good.
Reboot your computer.
Reboot the phone.
Use different USB port in your computer.

Ok well if you want my input try "fastboot devices" this should return your S/N (starting with "HT") if it gives you the same error then I would reinstall the SDK.

[Q] PLEASE HELP!! No OS after wipe

Hello!
I have an HTC one developer edition, I did an advance wipe of my phone because it wasn't charging, it said that USB Host mode was on. It only charged when the phone was off. I decided to wipe everything but the pictures (or so I thought) but once it finished the wipe the entire OS systems was erased, know the only thing I can do is enter TWRP.
Please Help I just bought the phone!

.exe file extension might be hidden depending your windows configuration. Go ahead with the guide it should work.
Open a cmd prompt from that folder. (shift + right click in a blank space) (step 4)
with you device in twrp sideload mode (step 1,2,3 completed)
type in the cmd prompt:
Code:
adb devices
make sure it output your device s/n + sideload
then
Code:
adb sideload <name_of_rom>.zip
what rom did you downloaded?

so your drivers aren't properly installed. download latest htc sync from htc website, it will install the drivers for you. then uninstall htc sync as it may interfere with what you are trying to do. (the drivers will remain installed)

Make sure the drivers are installed correctly and reboot your PC. I've just tried it and everything work just fine on my PC.

Make sure your drivers are installed correctly as shown above. When in edl mode the drivers are different than fastboot. Try reinstall the application with right click and ‘run as administrator’.

Do you know how to relock the bootloader?

It seems that there is something wrong with the drivers, or maybe the adb installation. Try to find other fastboot.exe and adb.exe then delete all duplicates except for "C:\adb", and don't forget to restart your PC.

This should do it but, I'm not sure if this is going to work on a rooted device.
Code:
fastboot flashing lock_critical
fastboot flashing lock
