I spent the whole of yesterday trying to add MoDaCo custom rom. from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591 The first of my problems was that I couldn't get the right driver which now seems to be fixed now comes up as - ADB Interface -HTC Bootloader.
So this now means that when i go to fastboot I can load cyanogenMod (system recovery) by typing fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
However none of these commands below in the CMD work. All i get is error: device not found
adb shell reboot bootloader (wait for device to reboot into bootloader)
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push cm-hero-recovery.img /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img
Any ideas please

Still sounds like a driver issue.. have you installed HTC + the SDK?
Restert ur handset into bootloader, hold power + back, then plugin the USB cable.. "FASTBOOT" (,In the red square) shoud change to FASTBOOT USB..
Skip the "adb shell reboot bootloader" and go straight to the next line and boot the recovery image via fastboot
should be plain sailing from there
It does change to fastboot usb on red. The only thing I can think of is do you have to install the sdk as I couldn't see a setup app. I just have all the files on the c dive. Will try skipping the first step when I get home
you dont install the sdk, just unzip it
thats right just the unzip, sorry, the drivers come with the SDK, if you still have no sucsess, do a Controll pannel > system >device manager then scan for device changes, if it finds the device select to install drivers and point it to the SDK folder

Grrrr still no joy. Just device not found. Im deleting all files that I have downloaded for drivers sdk etc and try and start again from scratch.
Do I need to partion my SD card before I do this as i have been having probs with that as well.

Done that as well. If My device runs fastboot this should mean the drivers are correct.

yes if u succeed to enter fastboot, it means it had recognised the phone? are u using windows 7 by the way? cause u have to download the precise drivers for the OS u r using whether x64, win 7 ....
I seem to remember having problems with this until I enabled the USB debugging mode in the options somewhere.
As for drivers, I'm running Windows 7 x64 and the x64 Vista drivers did the job fine.

Here is what I stand.
I have soft bricked my TF201 and I am trying to restore it using ADB per the recovery thread.
I am stuck in CWM recovery boot loop.
When I entered bootloop USB Debugging was not enabled and I dont have a computer that had/has the TF201 drivers previously installed.
Computer system is Windows Vista.
When the USB plugs into the computer it is recognized as "Transformer".
I have downloaded the drivers from the Asus site, from ADB repositories, and from other sites proportedly hosting drivers that work. None of those drivers have worked when attempting to manually install them (Device Manager > Update Driver Software).
How can I install drivers to get ADB to recognize my device if I cannot enable USB Debugging?
First i would install the recovery using fastboot again. Download drivers (link) and install it, download new cwm touch recovery (link), Restart your prime by holding the volume down button, wait, then press down to switch to the usb symbol, then press volume up. Now you are in fastboot mode. Enter the following command at the terminal or command prompt window : fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery (path to cwm recovery img)
Thanks, Ive got USB working and was able to flash to CWM Touch Recovery.
Now when I try to push (adb push update.zip /sdcard/) I keep getting: Protocol Failure
This happens every 3rd or 4th time I try to push. The rest of the time I get a daemon failure.
Any suggestions on how to push a ROM so I can install it? (I dont have one on the internal SDCARD any longer)
so its been already 2 months no way i can fix this still doing the same thing turn on boots and then loops to CWM same thing over n over and no connection to my computer so basicly now i feel i waisted 500 billz and used it from feb till now and no way i can fix it no ideas and asking around how can i putit back to live no answers yet nada so my guessin is not way a big amount and send it to asus or is there still a way to save it? i really missed my prime u use it alot but since still stuck on loop from EEE Pad to CWM and no mount :crying:

I am having the same problem man......I can't get the PC to detect my prime so I can't push any .zip
if you get adb to work, this is a solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661128&highlight=boot+loop
@klutch
what have you done before your prime stuck in the boot loop?
tried to flash anything or something like that
if i remember correctly you can't mount the prime as a removeable disk in CWM unless they fixed it
your best bet is to go into CWM and use adb to push the flashable zip files in there
you can do that by the following commands
Code:
adb push [directory/file name.zip] [/mnt/sdcard/]
if your device is not recognized by windows, then ADB does not work. that's the OP's problem.... and mine as well. ~$230 to fix my prime.
have you already tried to enter fastboot mode and flash a fresh rom from there?
I was able to get the PC detect my TFP by installing the driver from this link
[ADB/FB/APX Driver] Universal Naked Driver 0.7
You should be able to adb afterwards....Then follow 'OPTION 1a" from this link

in CWM while the TFP is plugged to your PC, click "update driver" and make sure you point to the location where "android_winusb.inf" file is located.
if you are in CWM the TFP will pick up "android_winusb.inf" driver
if you are in fastboot mode the TFP will pick up "android_apxusb.inf" driver
Also, I had to try on 3 different computers to make this work.
i just found out wat happen the original usb asus was messed up and i brought one on ebay and it worked so all this for a USB cable i was going crazy

Ok so wen i plug in my tfp while in cwm the only thing that pops up in device manager is unown device in the usb controllers section thats it and wen i try to update driver it says i i have the best driver already and im pointing it to a folder on my desktop with the naked drivers and nothing evn with have disk it says its not 64 bit or sumtn. im about ready to give up and just sell it to someone who prolly can fix it cuz i cant seem to get naked drivers to install to let the computer recognize my tfp so i can adb

as I asked earlier, did you try to set your prime into fastboot mode and flash a fresh rom from there?
if it does not work with windows, you could try linux, e.g. an ubuntu live cd. download the linux fastboot from here
you can flash a new rom with
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash boot "path to rom blob"
or new recovery using
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery "path to recovery image blob"
unfortunately i'm not able to supply links to download fastboot, sorry for that.

yea when i hold power and volume down it doesnt work as usual when it tells you to press up in the next five seconds. and ive tried restoring back up and flashing a new rom but it just boots up into cwm and my sdcard slot is ****ed up becuz of my lil cousins sticking **** inside the slot so it doesnt read anymore so i cant push files or put files on like that either.
pressing vol- + power and vol+ after 5 seconds should lead you into recovery (CWM) but fastboot is somewhat different. if you do not press vol+ after 5 seconds but either wait longer, you will see a screen where to select how to proceed (USB mode, android, and something else). if you select usb and then connect the tablet to your pc you are in fastboot mode and should be able to flash rom and recovery using the fastboot tool on your PC. using this you wouldn't need a working sd card, only a rom and/or recovery in blob format.

yes i know that but thats the problem im not able to go into fastboot i tried it, it reboots into recovery on its own and i know the only way im going to unbrick this is by adb but my device isnt showing up on my computer just unknown device under usb contollers which i tried to install the naked drivers but is unable to
hmm.. ok thats bad.
do you have a linux machine to check if it is a windows problem?
because it doesn't really make sense to me that CWM is working but adbd not.
i may have found a solution
this is just my experience but it seems like the different adb's that people are posting of the forums are outdated and dont work properly with some primes. I have tried several the windows task manager said "asus transformer prime adb interface" with the naked drivers as soon as i used the adb included in the sdk from <developer.android.com/sdk/index.html> it worked. so install the sdk then in the command prompt navigate to the platform tools inside where it was installed us the adb.exe found there.
as far as using the wrong drivers when you remove the device there might be the option to delete the device driver check that then scan for new devices......point it to where ever you unziped
this may not work for you but this is what finally resurrected my prime after 24 hours
Okay I just had the same problem ... after some research and some trial and error I was able to fix my prime.
First to make your life simple open a command prompt. You will have a flashing cursor next to the directory that you command prompt defaults to.
In my case it was c:/users/peter
You can put the sdk files anywhere on your computer but if you put them in the default command prompt folder you don't have to change the directory with dos commands.
Next with your prime not connected go into the device manager and delete any instances of the prime. Reboot your PC.
Next download the universal naked drivers
Connect your prime, if you go back into device manager you'll find it under USB devices. Click on upgrade drivers and navigate to the universal naked drivers. It should install if not your universal naked drivers might be outdated but uninstalling / deleting the previous instance of your prime should take care of any issues.
Now do the following:
Make sure your Prime is in Recovery mode (CWM)
Open a cmd line on your pc
Type: "adb shell"
You should see a "#" now
Once you have that "#", please type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1 and press [Enter]
Now type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1 and press [Enter]
Exit the shell and reboot your Prime via CWM
It should not reboot to CWM automatically now. It either boots your ROM or is stuck at the splash screen. If it is stuck, boot to recovery and install any ROM you want.
After this I recommend installing the androidroot.mobi custom boot loader and nvflash to make your prime unbrickable I also changed my recovery from cwm to twrp2 to help eliminate this from happening again.
Same here
What if you only have TWRP Recovery and not CMW? I have the exact same problem, but none of my machines will even detect a new device to find drivers for. I have a laptop with Ubuntu 12.04, another laptop with Windows XP, and an iMac with Snow Leopard. All have Android SDK and ADB but I can not get either to detect the device in Recovery mode. I tried fast boot, but every time I click the USB symbol, the TFP just locks up and freezes and still no detection. Can anyone help? I know if I can get it detected, I will be able to handle the rest.

Hello,everyone.I've got a Sprint optik(zte v55) 7" pad coming with HC 3.2.
After I flash a modified kernel, Its usb debugging mode can't work properly and my pc can't recgonize it.
Before I flash the kernel, when I switched to usb debugging mode and connect to my pc(runing win7), v55 will display a icon in taskbar showing it's connected with pc, my pc will show a new driver that showing the dirs and files in v55's internal storage, and when I run command "adb devices", it will show v55 is connected.
now, all the above is not happening anymore.
The thing is : I use 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img' to flash the kernel in, which means the adb.exe and fastboot.exe can work before I flahsed the kernel, and now they can't work.So I think maybe it's the kernel cause v55's usb can't work ?
Forgot to metion: now, when boot into android system or recovery mode, I can't use 'adb devices' to discover the device;when I boot in ftm mode(which I don't know what it is),sometimes 'adb devices' print 'xxxxx offline' , sometimes print 'xxxx recovery'.
when print 'xxx recovery', I use 'adb reboot bootloader' , v55 enter black screen with back light which seems in bootloader mode, but 'fastboot devices' and 'fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img' are not working.Very strange.

Hi, here are some things to keep in mind when using adb.
Be sure of the command you are issuing
Insure you are in fact cd'd to wherever on your pc the adb binary is located
Insure your jdk is included in your path on your pc
To make things easier you can always also add the tools and platform-tools folder of the android sdk to your path
Lets make sure you are properly set up first before you start flashing things randomly.
For more info, you should check Android's page on ADB if you would like. http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
I'm not sure if any of this is actually directly related to your issue, but it is nice to start with the basics.

Ooook now we're getting somewhere, I think
Make sure when you send your fastboot flash command you send it like so:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Replace 'recovery.img' with the actual name of the img, whatever it is.
Also if you are getting the device offline error try killing server:
Code:
adb kill-server
and then restart it
Code:
adb start-server
See if that helps.

I will try these command when I get home, thank u!:good:
"adb kill-server" and "adb start-server" works fine.They turn v55's "adb devices" from "offline" to "recovery".
And I run command "adb reboot-bootloader", it seems that v55 is in bootload mode.
But after that,I run command "fastboot flash recovery CWMrecovery.img",it returns '<waiting for device>' and stuck there.
Before I flash the kernel #60, I can run "fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img" to boot to cwm,so I think it's not likely be the driver's problem,am I right?

Sorry to take so long to reply. I think it is not a driver issue. Do you know if debugging/adb is even enabled in the ramdisk? This generally would have to be done by the dev who created the kernel. Speaking of that, have you tried to contact that dev for further support? For sure they would know more than me since I don't own the device myself. I just know enough to be slightly dangerous, lol

After keep trying in past two days, I found that in ftm mode adb is enabled, and 'adb reboot bootloader' truly made the device into bootloader mode.
On my win7 pc, It can't be recognized.I switch to my old xp pc,and install the driver come from other zte user,and then...fastboot works.
Now I have the v55 running CM10,Awesome!Thanks to all contributors.
Still, my win7 pc and xp pc can't recognize my v55 through usb.But it's not big deal now.I can use tf and wifi and other ways to transfer file to v55.

I wonder if you could run adb and fastboot commands in xp mode on your win7 pc?
I know there is a way to run programs in XP mode, its just been awhile since I've done it.
And its no problem to keep trying to help, even if I don't know the device and all that. Maybe I can learn to while we are at it, and maybe make a new friend along the way

I assume your PC has all drivers installed so go to command prompt, there go to your folder where adb and fastboot are.
It should be like this, cd C:\folder_where_adb_is
Now go to recovery mode on the phone and search for Sideload, it can be in install zip from your recovery, click it when you found it.
Go to your Pc and put the ROM to the folder where adb and fastboot are.
Then make sure your phone says it's in adb sideload mode,
On the PC write
Code:
adb sideload file_name.zip
And wait until it's finished
Let's say that's done, but you can't boot, it keeps restarting forever.
In this case, go to your rom.zip open it on the PC and there will be a file called boot.img
Extract boot.img to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Now on your phone, force it to close by holding power, open fastboot
Again open cmd on the PC and point it to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Then write
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Go to your Pc and put the ROM to the folder where adb and fastboot are.
Then make sure your phone says it's in adb sideload mode,
On the PC write
Code:
adb sideload file_name.zip
And wait until it's finished
Let's say that's done, but you can't boot, it keeps restarting forever.
In this case, go to your rom.zip open it on the PC and there will be a file called boot.img
Extract boot.img to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Now on your phone, force it to close by holding power, open fastboot
Again open cmd on the PC and point it to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Then write
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

When I write adb sideload file_name.zip, it
returns "error: closed". why?

file_name.zip is your ROM name, for example if you have arhd it can be ARHD_V8.zip or something, just see what name the zip file of your rom has
if this is not the case try
ADB usb before trying adb sideload

No, you have to write only "adb usb".
Then try "adb sideload yourrom.zip" again.
if that didn't work, then reboot into recovery and go to command prompt, and write
Code:
adb kill-server
adb usb
adb push yourromname.zip /sdcard
that should work if nothing else works. im having kinda the same issue right now :/

I just fixed this on my phone, now to to control panel - uninstall a program and delete htc sync manager (only sync manager, not the drivers)
Then try again, if nothing, go to here and install that.
If installed, go to fastboot mode, plug in your phone and in that program, when you open it, it says install drivers, flash rom and such...
Now on the right there is flash TWRP recovery, flash that, if your device is an LTE variant (ATT, Telus) install the ones for that and international for international version, make sure you got the correct one.
Then go to recovery, on the lower-right side there is an "advanced" button, hit that and there should be adb sideload somewhere, click that and swipe left to right to enable.
Go to your PC and repeat the sideloading steps as I said before.

No problem, I had almost the same problem and just told what I did xD
I am on an older macbook pro running High Sierra. the phone I'm using is a Blu G5 running android 9. I have the developer options unlocked and oem unlocked and usb debugging checked. When i open my terminal i type cd and drag and drop the platform tools folder into the terminal window changing the directory to the folder containing the adb and fastboot files. I can use adb commands such as adb devices and get the serial number and it says devices. So far so good. Then i reboot the phone into the bootloader manually or using command adb reboot bootloader and the phone goes into fastboot mode. I know because it says it on top of the screen in white letters. Then i run into the problem fastboot commands don't work. If I type in fastboot devices nothing but a new command line shows up. When i type in any other command like fastboot device or fastboot oem unlock it says "waiting for any devices." I wait and wait but nothing happens. I have looked on the internet for a solution but all i find is that the driver may not deinstalled properly. I have tried manually installing fastboot driver and used sdk manager to install the fastboot driver and I have tried it using the terminal in android studio but no matter what when i try useing fastboot commands i get the "waiting for any device" message. Does any have a solution or could anyone recommend and forum for android development on MacOSX?

Seems the Fastboot driver is invalid.

I have literally tried like 10 different sdk tool downloads just platform tool download basically every thing i can find. By chance would you or anyone out there have a working driver for MacOSX 10.13.6? or link a guide that can help me figure this out. I have made a little progress with a forum on xda about fastboot on macs but i still just keep getting the waiting for any device message.
@DimDreams
May also be that the Fastboot Android mode is not available on the phone in question.
I've had similar issues before and noticed that fastboot mode works better via USB 2.0 than USB 3.0. Maybe check which port you're using and switch. ADB seems to work well either way, however. Hope that helped.
I just had this problem as well and I found this, what worked for me is first boot your phone into bootloader mode with
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. While in the bootloader fastboot worked for me. Hope this helps someone!
