hey, im trying to flash a custom splash screen to my g1, when i try to use fastboot i get <waiting for device> in the command prompt window, i have tried this on 2 different computers.
both running windows 7 64bit
im using the engineering bootloader,
help?
just tried on windows xp 32bit system as well
finally solved. ran the whole thing out of the sdk/tools folder and worked amazing!
My vivid mobile when it is connected in fastboot mode , drivers are not recognised. I need to root my mobile
Is it recognized when not in fastboot? What os are you using, and so you run into the save issue on a different PC?

It is recognized when the phone is ON. I'm using windows 8.1 64bit OS.
when it is connected in fast boot mode my OS does not detect drivers for it

Hmmm.... I'll have to test this with my girlfriends comp first, as I'm using win7x64 myself.

test as fast as you can .I want to root my mobile
fastboot doesn't work on windows 8.1
using a virtual machine also doesn't work as the vm reads the host system's usb
you'll have to find a different machine to use fastboot
or you could try using a linux live cd (but i haven't done this myself, so i don't know if it works)

I just saw this post today.
adb, fastboot works on my windows 8.1 64 bit machine though.
Win 8.1 has command prompt program. You have to run that command prompt "run as administrator".

In the development settings... Make sure that you've granted root to adb and try again...

same problem here... wondering if you could solve your problem...
I guess I wasn't clear enough.
Windows 8.1 doesn't load the driver for the Vivid while it is in fastboot mode because of a change in the way Windows handles USB devices. ADB and fastboot may work on Windows 8.1, but you'll never be able to "fastboot flash" anything because the device isn't recognized while the phone is in fastboot mode. It is not a phone driver problem, it is a USB controller driver problem.
Also, like I said before, you can't use a virtual machine becuase the the vm reads from the host system's usb.
You will have to use an operating system other than Windows 8.1 to do any fastboot flashing.
Trust me, I've dealt with this problem since 8.1 was released.
I've noticed that I can't use ADB while in recovery mode on windows yet it works fine on linux. I'm assuming it's a driver issue being that with windows you have to install motorola's driver and on linux, like with everything, it just kinda works. My question is is there a way to get ADB within recovery working on windows. It would be helpful to not be limited to only being able to use it and mount as a storage device while inside userland. I do have a linux machine but whenever I'm on my gaming rig it would be nice to be able to use ADB and USB storage in recovery. Thanks!
I'm currently running Windows 7 SP1, Android 4.4.4 Kitkat, Linux Mint 17, and TWRP 2.8.0.1(I just noticed there was a 2.8.1.0 update although I doubt any difference will be made)
Have you updated the Android SDK?

Have you tried different ports? Cables? Computers?
You can try Linux on a USB and you don't have to install it on your computer, here how:
HOW TO USE LINUX FOR FASTBOOT & ADB VIA USB
This guide originally posted by @Danny201281
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54272479&postcount=219Linux is your friend; if your drivers are not working the chances of getting them working again without the phone booting are slim. But Linux doesn't need drivers to talk to your device.
Go here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ and download Universal USB Installer – Easy as 1 2 3
Then go here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ and download Ubuntu from the first link at the top that says PC (Intel x86) desktop CD
Then use these files to create a bootable Linux USB drive with at least a 2 GB persistent file for storing files. You'll also probably need to change your boot settings in the computers bios to boot from USB.
MOVING YOUR FILES TO UBUNTU
Once booted you should be at a screen with options to "Try Ubuntu” or "Install Ubuntu". We don’t need to Install anything so just choose "Try Ubuntu" and the computer will boot to the Ubuntu Desktop (If you get a popup saying "system has encountered an error" or something similar just cancel and ignore it, it should have no effect on what we need to do as it is due to missing Linux OS updates we don’t need). On the left of the screen you'll see the Dock. Open the orange folder icon near the top this is the Home folder. It’s where we need to put any files we need to work with such as a rom.zip you want to push to the device or recovery.img files for flashing.
To get your files here is a simple drag and drop process. In the top left of the Home folder you'll see the drive structure of you pc under devices. Choose your PCs hard drive and Right-Click then" Open in a new window". Locate your .zip or .img files and drag them into the home folder. Now wait for the copy process to complete and rename them for easier typing later, e.g., rom.zip, firmware.zip or recovery.img etc.
USING ADB AND FASTBOOT
First you need to install adb fastboot; this is easy just 3 commands in the terminal. Thanks to Webupd8 team.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Make sure your connected to the internet and press Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal then type or copy and paste the above commands one at a time waiting for each to complete their output. It may seem to have stopped at times but be patient when the prompt returns to normal enter the next command and when there all done you’re ready to use adb and fastboot.
Once you've moved all the files you need to the home folder that’s it you’re ready to go. Close everything down on the desktop (optional) and press Ctrl+Alt+T this will open the terminal now connect your phone with the USB cable. All fastboot commands need to have the "sudo" prefix added at the start, e.g.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img becomes sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot devices becomes sudo fastboot devices
However, adb should work basically the same as on windows. If you do have problems with normal adb commands adding “sudo” can help here as well.
If you get "no permissions ?????????" when trying to use adb, type:
Code:
killall adb
Disconnect the phone for a few seconds, then reconnect and type:
Code:
sudo adb devices
adb should now work as normal without the sudo prefix.

I get the error in the title over and over again. When my device is on normally, it is recognized fine. I have tried uninstalling the drivers in device manager, but even that doesn't work. Using Squabbi's toolkit crashes when I try to download the HTC drivers.
Any ideas on how to fix it? I have a 4.1.2 device with 1.44 hboot. Can/should this be updated?
Is it true that there are no drivers for Windows 8? If so, do you recommend a linux VM ?
Thanks
Ubuntu USB boot
Or a windows 7 machine.

ADB should still work. It works in recovery or OS.
Fastboot is what you won't be working on windows 8 and 1.44 hboot
Oh ok. Is there any toolkit for Linux? Any guides?

Ok so I did all of that, but my device still is not recognized. It is not detected at all in my Windows 8 build as well as my virtual machine of Ubuntu.

you have to boot linux from a usb drive or from a live cd, not like a virtual machine like virtualbox or anything similar.

I did that, and at first I plugged it in and it was recognized. Then after awhile, it stopped being recognized all together after some reboots.
