So I have a rooted g1 and have successfully setup ADB on my computer, but my problem is getting fastboot to work correctly. I am trying to install files found here via fastboot as it says.
I have read countless threads and guides (including the one posted in XDA) on how to set it up and its just not taking. When I am in command prompt (and my phone is in fastboot mode, USB debugging turned on, etc.) and I go to the SDK tools folder I can type 'fastboot devices' and it shows that I AM connected, but when I type 'fastboot shell' I just get the list of available commands rather than the "#" like all of the guides said I should get.
Any input would be very much appreciated. I have been spending hours and hours of time searching, reading, educating myself, and I still haven't gotten this to work correctly. Anybody out there have any ideas what the problem could be?

In a command line environment, any command (program) you are using, no matter what command it is, must be either in the directory from which you are entering the command, or its path must be listed in your path environment variable. If any of these things sound foreign to you, then you should probably read some tutorials on how to properly use the command line interface before going any further.
Hello
I am trying to unlock my bootloader according to the instructions on htcdev.com, when I reach the stage where I have to execute the 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' command I run into trouble, namely I see the following '...' and then the command hangs.
I have since established the device is visible to fastboot, when I run 'fastboot devices' I get the following, the output remains constant when I run the command with or without superuser privileges (I'm using Arch Linux).
Code:
HT338W902280 fastboot
As far as I can tell it seems my device is recognised by my laptop but that the commands being issued to it via fastboot aren't being received/executed, a conclusion further confirmed by the fact that when I run 'fastboot getvar all' the command hangs with no output being returned whatsoever.
I've tried running the commands as a normal user and as Su and in a couple of different terminals but the end results are identical. If anyone could suggest a solution or needs further information to help I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Thanks in advance!
First of all, kudos to jcs for this op. While fairly new at this, I found it very complete. I had to do alot of reading and downloading behind the scenes to get it this far, but so far everything has worked.
As the title suggests, I am stuck on step 7c, in particular where I am trying to run "novacom....certs.sh". I am using ubuntu and had to load "Wine" to get it to recognize the "palmenv.bat" file. So, is there an easy way to run the "nova...." file in ubuntu? Other than finally figuring out how to get and use java in ubuntu, I've been very impressed with that OS.
Here is the error message:
Z:\home\mds\Downloads\WebOS>novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
File not found.
The "Z" directory was the result of running the "wine cmd" as the directory originally was "C". Initially after running the "wine cmd" command, I ran the "palmenv.bat" and it accepted it. However, I was unable to run the "novacom...certs.sh" file, even though it was in the same location.
PS: I have deleted and added spaces in combinations around "<" in the above as I could not tell for sure the correct way.

Did you fully read post #2, part C of the TPTB thread? You should be able to just unzip the TPTB into a folder, open a terminal session in that folder, and run the .sh file that's there. You may need to run it with sudo; that I don't recall.

Yes thanks. The problem boils down to running a ".bat" file then running a ".sh" file. Using Ubuntu, I have been unable to run the .bat file without "wine", then, in "wine", I have been unable to run the ".sh" file.
In windows 7, I can run the ".bat" file, but unable to run the ".sh" file. This is the final step in jcs's op to do a clean install of webos and this particular step fixes the certificates. Ref here step 7d: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756314&page=7
Ubuntu command:
sudo ./tptb_v42_nix.sh
You have to be in the same directory where tptb is...of course the listed command is for version 42.
The .sh file is for Linux not for windows. You cannot run it in "wine".

You're not getting the message. You don't run the batch file in Ubuntu; it's for Windows only. Follow the above post's advice (note the period before the /. It's essential).

So, below is an exact copy (ctrl c, then ctrl v) from page 7 of jcs' op for reinstalling webos.
then run "palmenv" and then run "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh"
Just got back on this project again and have a follow-up question.
From your comment above, I need to add a period here either before the "///" or ".///" slashes or after "bin" or "bin./"?
Here is also a direct copy out of the text file of "fix-webOS-certs.sh"
novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
So, neither place has a period before either of the /'s as you mentioned. Please advise...thanks again.
Thanks and Sorry, I did not see the previous post to yours. In the meantime, I did run it again without knowing where to put the period and I am a little closer to completing the reinstall...but still don't know why I can't get the last line "novacom run file.....certs.sh" to run.
I redid every step again on the tp and got to the screen where you select the "language". I then opened up the command prompt in windows 7, tp still connected, cd'd until I got to the directory where both "palmenv" and "novacom run file..." is located. I ran "palmenv" and got "Setting Novacom Path ....".
I then immediately ran the "novacom run file....." and got "unable to find device".
I checked my device manager under disk drives and the "HP Webos-usb device" was listed with no flags.
I tried it again, but same message.
One other comment on the "novacom run file....". In windows, when I hit the download button on the "goo" website, it actually opens up. In order to download, I had to select all, paste it in notepad, open up notepad and save as the ".sh" file. So, I don't know if that is screwing something up or not. Otherwise, it would not down load or I would not have it. Strangely, it did download in Ubuntu, but that file did not work either.
So, any advice on how I can complete the very final step on running the "novacom run file....certs.sh"?

Thanks. I had thought the .sh file was for Ubuntu, but I received a message that said those sequence of commands from jcs was to be run in windows. Anyway, I believe the above instructions are how to get the tptb running in Ubuntu. If so, that is not the problem. If not, then from that and other messages received, I would run the .bat file from windows, reboot my system and then run the .sh file in Ubuntu adding "sudo ./ to the "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh"?
So, for a recap, per jcs's op, one would open the command prompt in windows, and cd to the correct directory where the palmenv,bat file and fix-webOS-certs.sh reside. Then run "palmenv" the run "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh" file.
For some reason, I doubt he was suggesting changing from windows to Ubuntu when running these commands, but I may be wrong...as I often am.
I know I'm dumber than a hay rake, but really, can someone please explain in detail for this newbie, what he needs to do to run both of those commands? Refer to a previous post link if unfamiliar with what op I'm trying to perform...and am on the last step 7d
I think the issue is that you are trying to install WebOS.
Not sure of the help you are going to get with that as many of us have moved on a while ago and no
longer have the interest in it. You might want to check on other threads where it is relevant.

Yes, that is what the procedure does that jcs has outlined. And thanks for the reply. I have got webos installed which was the easy part, however, running the last two commands appear to be a matter of proper input...which several advices have been given, but none have worked. I was hoping that someone, other than the author of the procedure, had tried it or at least someone may be familiar enough with this type of input to help. Oh well, thanks again.
Progress with novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
Was able to finally run novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh after previously receiving unable to locate device message by booting HP Touchpad into developer/USB mode and running novaterm.bat from the terminal folder and connecting from the menu. I was then able to run novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh from the Command Prompt but it does not appear to have run successfully.

I am trying everything I can to get the HP Touchpad wifi working after having done a complete wipe before a system restore and learning the HP Servers are no longer supporting. I have Cyanogenmod 11 installed and wifi worked for approximately one day after each install. When I try to connect to any access point it only says "saved" afterward and the signal seems to drop to zero while connecting. Another strange occurrence is the fact that the wifi mac address that shows in the advanced menu of Cyanogenmod does not match the previously saved mac address on my home wifi set up as an extra security measure. The mac is the same in the device info menu of WebOS when trying to install but getting the message that servers can not be accessed to finish the install. When it was connected for a short time after Cyanogenmod install the MAC address was correct but since it has changed will not connect and the new address gives an unsupported message when trying to add to my network devices list. I have tried all posted troubleshooting steps as well as having installed Busy Box and attempting to change the Mac address manually. I get operation not supported at that prompt in the Terminal Emulator on the Touchpad. Has anyone come across this or been able to get their HP Touchpad working properly with Cyanogenmod 11?
Hi
I am using a Mac M1 Pro. Trying to reflash stock rom on my pixel 5. Facing issue in executing command " flash-all.sh ". I have tried both versions of the command, "./flash-all.sh" and also "sh flash-all.sh"
Please help me fix this issue. I have all latest updates installed.

Need a bit more information to be able to help.
What error are you receiving, command not found ?
-bash: fastboot: command not found
Did you add the platform-tools directory to your path?
Cheers.
