I checked Recovery mode and Download mode, and thats OK.
But i found information on Internet, and always the same: VOL UP/DOWN + HOME + POWER.
In some sites, somethind about Forced Upload (i've got one time only and i dont remember how it was.
The question: i called to technical support and asked for the way to get into fastboot mode, and the replay was the information is properly for samsung personal.
Then, i was tyred and bored.
Could anybody help me?
NOTE:
I know that download mode is enaugh, but booting directly from a recovery file in PC is good and quick, and flashing the recovery boot only.
Hey
Just played around with my Galaxy S and could retrieve the way to get into
Forced upload
I pressed Volume up and home until the black and whie Galaxy S boot Screen came
up and then right away volume up+home+powerbutton at the same time.
Hope it works for you as well and hope I remembered it correct because I am feeling
realy dizzy today paired with headaches :/
Is the forced upload mode same as fastboot? Because I am trying to install an other bootscreen as the
one from samsung is not my thing.
I have two phone, one with working 3 button hack, another one without recovery mode with 3 buttons.
on the later device i alway get the "forced upload" (whatever this is) while pressing home and vol up for 3 or more seconds when phone is of.
on the othe device (wirkoing three button mode) i did not manage to see "forced upload"
a similar question has been asked somewhere before: fastboot is htc (ADP=android development phone) specific. fastboot does not (and never will) work with samsung handsets!
Thread moved to Q&A.

Want to explain why my old Galaxy I7500 had fastboot then?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
if you simply want to reboot the phone quickly, there is an APP for that
you can choose normal reboot
reboot to Recovery Mode
reboot to Download Mode
look for Quick Boot

Fastboot is an utility from the Android SDK and normaly not made only for one brand.

of course it's a part of the aosp but i have (till today) never ever read anywhere that non htc devices support it ... my bad
if anyone finds out how to use fastboot with the galaxy s i will gladly buy 'em a couple of beers because i would love to have this functionality at my disposal!!!

Doesn't this app solve the broken three button recovery problem?
Thats the thing i referred it. All people with Galaxy S work with REcovery and Download odes.
But anybody knows how the FastBoot Mode works in i9000, and it very important taking a native mode to change the Recovery Boot without flashing with ODIN or Rom Maneger utility (free at the moment).
I understand FAST BOOT is something in relation with android, but ¿is it posible that it need an especial recovery boot, like an intermediate, for passsing throw to FastBoot mode?

of course not
when you are bricked, how are you going to run a software on a dead phone?
the phone needs to be rooted for quick boot to work
if you do it via ADB when connected to PC
then you don't need to be rooted

I explained more better.
If phone is bricked, it doesnt boots.
Then, ADB is worthy. For that reason, only two chioces:
1) FLASH with ODIN, if it posible with download mode
2) Samsung with JTAG ---> money!!!!
2) FastBoot Mode.
That is very important, and thats my interest
if the phone is bricked
only the 3 button Download Mode will work
JTAG, not many places have it, it's hard to find, the phone is still too new.
Fastboot mode will not work when bricked
ADB will not work when bricked

AllGamer, I think you should look up what fastboot actually is/does.
It's a way to flash the phone from a 3button style download mode. The thing is, you can use ADB from windows/Mac/Linux to flash it. (Yes, even when bricked, because you enter it with a different 3button combo)
All HTC Phones have the ability, as well as the Original Samsung Galaxy I7500 and I5700 phones.
People are on here wondering if there's a way to enable the function on the Galaxy S.
Responding in a thread where you have no idea what the topic at hand actually is just makes the thread harder to follow. Please refrain in the future.
Yes, i think FASTBOOT is another backdoor to revover the phone.
And, another advantage:
1) substituting the revovery boot partition (throw native flashing 3button mode) or
2) boot from PC with one recovery image without writing the recovery partion, making diagnostic and everyting like testing news images.
It is very important, and many people will be wondered to know this 3button mode.
Samsung, by call, admited to know the mode, but they dont wanto to say how to get in mode fastboot.
I'll continue to find it.
AllGamer:
How, then, do you overwrite the boot partition? With ADB? Then you need unbricked phone .....

Did samsung actualy make the phone and not just designed it? Ie the sony xperia x1 was a htc made phone but sony design. So maybe that's why u had fastboot in the 7500. Either way i have no idea on samsung phones as i never liked them
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
if the so call fastboot is actuall another hardware mode, and not the fastboot from ADB shell, then it'll have to be some sort of buttons to trigger it.
I know people that have posted they got into a Forced Upload mode, is that what you guys mean by fastboot mode?
However only people with the disabled 3 buttons download modes seems to have been able to get into this Forced Upload mode, problem is none of them knows exactly how they got into that mode

It IS fastboot from ADB.
You basically put the phone in fastboot mode (similar to 3 button download mode). You can then flash your phone (with the phone in fastboot mode[not booted into android]) with the fastboot command in the Android SDK Tools folder.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" would flash a new recovery image to the phone, or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" would flash a new boot image to the phone.
All this can be done by entering a 3button combo to power on the phone directly into fastboot mode. (Android not required to boot, or even be functioning)
I was trying to flash one of the kitkat based new roms i found on this site through the app and it didn't seem to work as i recieved the message saying installation aborted, then my phone buzzed and flashed and restarted but it's stuck on the htc quietly brilliant screen and i cannot get to recovery at all. when i try i see the lights at the bottom menu buttons just flashing.
I did a backup before the install but can't get into recovery now. i've found a proper nandroid backup but my phone wont turn off,restart or go into recovery now, so pissed. please help asap
p.s. the rom i can't even remember the name of it but it said it was one for all versions of htc one.
mine is the canadian version on rogers if it matters.
.and it looks like my computer isn't recognizing it now either

What I'm gonna say is ridiculous! BUT IF YOU DIDN'T **** UP YOUR BOOTLOADER you should be able to boot into the bootloader by performing these steps:
First: Press the power and volume up/down button for about two minutes... your phone should respond with vibrate/flashing...
Secondly: Hold your phone under a bright light and press the powerbutton for a minute or so... then try different combinations with the hardwarebutton until it boots into the bootloader.
From bootloader you can perform the following steps to get a OS working on your phone:
This is a quote by me, someone had almost the same problem like you:
Okay, first here you have the correct adb and fastboot files, I uploaded them quickliy for you, I think this way they should work properly:
http://uploaded.net/file/ykwya517
Next thing are these HTC Drivers, in this post are a few of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2089508 and on my computer there are the 4.3.0.001 drivers, so I'd recommand downloading those(Credits go to @mdmower):
http://www.mediafire.com/download/n5...+4.3.0.001.exe
Now shut down your phone and boot in into the bootloader with pressing the power button and the volume down button. Then select fastboot and enter this menu. Now if the drivers are installed correctly there should be written FASTBOOT USB. I think you said you are unlocked... so the following command should run just fine. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where adb and fastboot are placed. In this folder you copy your custom recovery(TWRP) and you flash it with this command:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [recoveryname].img
And DON'T worry about adb in the bootloader! ADB doesn't work with the bootloader. Now you boot into your recovery by chosing Recovery somewhere in your bootloader. If you are in the bootloader you somehow need to push the ROM to your HTC One... This should work with this command...
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored\rom.zip" "/data/media/0/rom.zip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And if this doesn't copy it correctly simply place your zip on your computer to a folder that is empty and push this folder to your HTC One with:
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored" "/data/media/0"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you are good to go, simply flash the zip form TWRP. I think you know how this works Simply go to install and then chose the zip and flash it.
If you now want to s off... then ask me again. I'll give you an advice

I have android sdk installed and the HTC sync manager and the drivers are installed but when I plug device says drivers are Not installed?

Hey there. It's quite some time ago since I last "played around" with my HTC One M7 but I think I am still able to help you solve your problem.
Firsr a few questions:
> What OS are you using for adb? Win7/8/10?
> Do you have an USB OTG cable? (would make fixing very easy. You just copy the OS zip onto an USB stick and then plug it into your Cellphone using an OTG cable. Then flashing can be done without any problems)
If you've already solved your problem, notify my anyways

sorry i was at work but OS is windows 7 home premium
maybe i should look into the OTG cable.
i get a message saying "cannot read rom.zip" when trying to use command line to push as per the thousands of tutorials online lol.
when i plug in the phone to computer and turn phone on (which is on the HTC splash screen since no OS) then a popup on computer says installing device driver software.
Android Phone X Device Unplugged
USB Composite Device Ready to use
HTC MTP Device X Failed
USB storage devie Ready to use
My HTC Ready to use
HTC android USB Device Ready to use
my cable is really wobbly and none ive tried lately seem to want to fit in the slot snug so HTC MTP Device installed again and now says "Ready to Use also, then cycled the install again and settled on FAILED so only Android Phone has an X for device unplugged since no OS to turn on and HTC MTP has an X for Fail. this is where ill enter fastboot mode or recovery to try push/flash my copy of cm14 and gapps to the device.
i have cmd window open with rom and gapps and an updated version of twrp in adb and fastboot folder.
i entered fastboot mode and pushed recovery through then as per the tutorial i then entered recovery which flashed properly with the new version. then i went to adb sideload and all commands worked like adb kill-sever and adb usb also adb devices came with text saying list of attached devices which theyre is none.
then adb sideload rom.zip came back with:
error: device not found
Hi guys, I'll just start things off with saying that I am far from being anywhere near as technologically advanced as the majority of you so I would like your help if possible.
I had wanted to flash back to Stock and unroot my Moto X but for some reason I had gone into TWRP and decided to delete everything. Now every time I try to reboot from TWRP, it'll just say that the phone does not have an OS Installed and therefore if I reboot it, it will just stay on the 'Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen.
I've read quite a few threads on various forums but I am unable to get my laptop to recognise the device in fastboot. That's my only problem so far as I've downloaded the Motorola Device Manager and all those other things but still cannot get my laptop to show the device for me to put the files into. When I plug it in, I am able to hear the sound and the device recognizes that it's been plugged in but I can't see it on my laptop.
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys and forgive my ignorance.

RSD Lite won't pick up the device nor will it show up when I type 'adb devices' in CMD. And finally, how do I go about turning on USB debugging when it won't boot up past the bootloader unlock screen?

Turn the phone off. Unplug it. Hold down VOL DOWN, and press power. The phone will boot into the bootloader. This is how you flash with rsd lite.
Adb does not work in bootloader, and isn't used for this. Once in bootloader (ap fastboot mode), rsd lite should recognize the device.
Make absolutely sure you do not downgrade to a previous version (you will brick), and make sure you flash the correct firmware for YOUR device/carrier.
You can only flash the same version or higher than what you were on before you erased everything.

You said you downloaded moto device manager... Did you install it? If so you are one of the unlucky ones and will have to use the manual method with fastboot and mfastboot. Take it slow and follow the instructions. Leave out the config carrier line.
To make sure fastboot is working, type fastboot devices while in bootloader mode.

Yes perfect.
Run one command at a time - copy/paste them.
Remember to use mfastboot for system.img - regular fastboot will NOT work. Also remember to skip the config carrier command.

You my friend are a legend. Last round (hopefully) of questions though: where the code says to type in fastboot flash .... .gpt.bin and all those other things, am I supposed to put the files somewhere in particular? Because just regularly typing them into CMD comes up with (bootloader) Variable not supported! Then error: cannot open 'gtp.bin' or cannot open 'recovery.img' and so on but on the phone it says getvar partition-type:recovery or boot and so on.
Also the when the instructions say to use mfastboot, CMD says that it is not recognized as an internal or external command. Thanks!

First: yes, you have to put those files in the same folder as you are running the commands from. If your command prompt shows C:\users\jimmy\
Then that is where the files should be! You should have extracted the zip file you downloaded to the same folder you are running the commands from.
Second, you obviously have not download mfastboot.exe (it is linked in the return to stock thread) OR you didn't put it in the same folder as the rest of the files.
The "variable not supported" messages are normal. The error cannot open.... errors are NOT.
I'm attaching mfastboot.exe (it's zipped - extract it to the same folder as everything else) to this post so you don't have to go looking for it.
DON'T move on if the first command doesn't work. Make sure each one gives success before you move on.
Awesome!

You're welcome....but that isn't normal. I suggest doing it again from the beginning. A full SBF to stock re-writes all the partitions and there shouldn't be anything "out of wack". Sounds like something went wrong....OR your device has physical damage?

Hey guys long time personal device modder and lurker here, I've seem to have bricked my girlfriends phone, and she is currently not very pleased.
I attempted to unlocked the boot loader for her D415
from this tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-t-mobile-l90-t2836457.
did the first half of the guide ( adb ), I wasnt able to get reach fastboot from lack of fastboot drivers, but after reading another thread turns out her d415 was unlocked already. I rooted the phone with towelroot, installed TWRP from I think rom manager, booted into recovery from terminal emulator, made a backup of the phone using TWRP and installed cyanogenmod 11.
Now everything worked great with the phone, but she wanted Gapps. When I installed Gapps from TWRP half of the Gapps werent there ( the play store was missing ) , and a google plus notification repeatably kept popping up. So I decided to restore the phone with the backup of the phone I made earlier and reinstall cyanogenmod. Once the restore was complete it was booted into fastboot. At first her phone wasn't being recognized, I found the drivers for fastboot, on this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-fastboot-l90-d415-t2827825. I can communicate with my phone from fastboot but that's it. I tried using fastboot to install the cyanogenmod and stock rom but I got a 'error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt" from each rom
So any help would be appreciated! Sorry for the long post, I didnt wanna leave out any details that could help!

I don't think I can enter recovery by holding down buttons on this phone, I think the only way I could reach it is from a terminal emulator or TWRP manager? So what would flashing a recovery do ? because wouldnt I still be in flashboot?
Sorry only being stuck in flashboot is weird.

Have you tried it from your PC?
fastboot reboot-bootloader
How can you run fastboot commands if your not in fastbbot-bootloader?
"my phone doesn't enter into fast boot mode"
(General message - see what I did there? No need to repeat the entire post. Just the part I'm responding to.)
Does this mean that you can't get to bootloader? Is your bootloader unlocked? When you reboot do you see the open padlock symbol?
So what did you do to brick your device?

With USB connected, from a cmd prompt I do:
adb devices (to load the drivers and make sure my phone is recognized)
adb reboot bootloader (this should put you in bootloader mode)
fastboot devices (just to be sure my phone is still recognized)
fastboot flash radio radio.img (or whatever image you want to flash)
fastboot reboot-bootloader (in between flashes, just to be safe)
I do so hate it when people don't bother to read my posts properly. It takes away my incentive to try to help them...
"No need to repeat the entire post. Just the part I'm responding to."
"So what did you do to brick your device?" Install the custom ROM you mention?
And a new question. You say "no matter wat buttons i press". Does that include the bootloader power & volume down simultaneous press for maybe 30 seconds?
So there are 3 items in this post. Can I have 3 responses please? The first will be not copying this entire post all over again, the other two will be answers to my questions.

Do you have a working recovery you can access?
And stay away from toolkits. Learn to flash manually. It's easy and you know what part goes wrong. Tool kits are nice in automation, but when something happens ya don't have a decent idea where to start.
