Hey can someone explain this step regarding to flashing HC.
"Use ADB on your computer to return to fastboot using the following command" ...adb reboot bootloader
I'm not to sure what's ADB.
hi,
adb is one tool of the android sdk. you need to download the android sdk. install it. then activate the usb debugging on your device. plug it in your computer. then open the windows command shell. navigate where you installed the android sdk. then to the folder tools, theres a adb.exe in there. when youre there you can type "adb reboot bootloader" and hit enter. now youre device should boot in bootloader.
hope this helps you.

I installed R3 rom but my wifi cant be turned on. Latest I found that also my USB internet passthrough is not working. I got hint from one member but I absolutely dont know how to perform this.
flash the boot.img inside the R3's zip file using fastboot.
Commands:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
How to flash something inside zip file? do I have to extract it and put it into root?
How to execute commands at all? Where to put them? What do I need to perform? I am total noob and every simple step I ever done took me a day. Now I am stuck. IF someone knows how to make this, please help.
Thank you.
First question do you have ADB installed?
Then you need to unpack boot.img from rom.zip.
When I get my answer we'll go further.

I should have ADB, because I was rooting my phone month ago and ADB was required. How do I find out? I have SDK tools and i have adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, fastboot.exe, recovery.img in C\Android. Actually I was trying to connect phone through USB and start adb.exe but it just popped out, scrolled down fast and closed (it was looking like command prompt- black window).
And I unpacked boot.img from R3.zip to my sdcard
Copy boot.img to android folder (where you have SDK platform tools installed), reboot phone to fastboot, connect it to PC and issue commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
And then reboot your phone.
Copy boot.img to android folder (where you have SDK platform tools installed), reboot phone to fastboot, connect it to PC and issue commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
And then reboot your phone.
Actually I tought this is the way, but let me tell you what is happening:
1.Turned phone off
2.entered fastboot on my phone
3.opened adb.exe in my Android-sdk/platform-tools folder
4.the adb window just opened for a 1second, everything scrolled down fast
5.adb window closed.
This is the reason why I need help, but really thank you for taking care

You shouldn't click the adb. exe, open cmd and type the commands there.

yeah, I also did this according to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
and this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860421
but Cmd could not recognize this. I tried "fastboot devices" and this was not recognized too.
Then I reinstalled HTC drivers and then tried again. So then I was trying to open adb.exe and then you told me to issue command through cmd and here we are. sorry I am real noob in android things. I was using iphone and everything worked like magic
Isnt there a way to perform this "boot.img flashing" through recovery mod? I mean without the usb connection and without the cmd black hole

First use the command "cd C:\Android"
After that do the commands again.
Be sure you've uninstalled HTC Sync (NOT the drivers) before doing this.

Yeah it was meant like "hod did this stupid noob even managed to unlock bootloader at all. I got his point, and the right answer was "step by step guide" so actually You didnt got my point.
Dont forget that things that are automatic and obvious to you, are not obvious to everyone. My grandma is learning to work with computers and when she asks me how to send an email, I have to tell her "grab a mouse, then move it there........"
)))))))
Does not matter, thank you guys!
Once you learn to use adb and fastboot it's always the same, so my point was that you've never learned how to use it, you just typed what you saw, without any wish to learn.
Point is to try and learn, not to ask again.
Nobody said you're stupid, just lazy.
Cant get the R3 working. HTC Sense UI crashed error at lock screen
I flashed the sense revolution r3 today but could not get it working.
The following are the issues faced.
1) It starts without installing the mods package, but lacks the full sense widgets like htccontacts, htc calender etc.
2) when i flashed the r3 mod package, it gets stuck at the lock screen. The Sense UI crashes.
3) Without the mods, i faced another bug in people widget. it crashes when i click the phone dialer from it.
I am currently on sense r3.
Please help me install it in full.
Hi Guys. I recently tried to flash a recovery but ADB is refusing to recognize my phone. i.e. ADB devices in CMD brings up nothing. Why is that so? USB Debugging is enabled. Yet it doesn't work.

adb commands do not work in fastboot, you have to use "fastboot devices" to see your device then. but you can easily flash recovery using hasoon2000's all-in-one kit for one x+.

Hi,
I'm trying to unlock my Huawei Ascend Y300 but I'm stuck in fastboot.
I followed this guide: (not allowed to post outside links but you can find the guide by looking for "Free Huawei bootloader unlock tutorial"), but got my unlock code sent from Huawei by mail since the dc-unlocker tool didn't work as well (probably the same problem as with fastboot).
When the phone is turned on I can see it with "adb devices" but once I'm in fastboot mode (pink screen) no device can be found with "fastboot devices".
When the phone is in fastboot mode and being plugged into the computer it is recognized by Windows.
I tried two kinds of Huawei Drivers: "Huawei_U8680_U8730_U8800_U8860" and "Huawei_Android_driver" (for the last one: see the guide stated above). I also tried three different computers.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit if that helps.
Edit:
Same problem in Ubuntu, found in "adb devices" but not in fastboot mode.
Any idea anyone?
Thanks,
Patrick
Anybody?

both those drivers are most likely conflicting with each other. Uninstall them, and install the usb drivers for your device.
Another issue is that your using 64bit, those drivers may only support 32bit OS. Try doing it on a 32bit computer
Thanks for the reply. Only one of the drivers seems to be removable. I tried it on a different, 32bit Windows computer with first the one and then the second driver.
Same problem as above. I can find the booted phone via "adb devices" but can't find the phone in fastboot mode with "fastboot devices".

With bootloader you probably mean a custom bootloader like ClockworkMod right?
If so: no, the phone has been untouched so far.
My old HTC phone had a bootloader to start with but as far as I know the Huawei phone doesn't and I can only boot normally or into fastboot.

I think your problem is your using the wrong commands, when you go into fastboot mode, your using "adb devices" which doesn't work with fastboot. Type "fastboot devices"

I know, "adb devices" only works when the phone is booted normally. "fastboot devices" doesn't give a reply as can be seen in the image of the first post.

because the daemon didn't start, you should have looked up how to use fastboot. I can tell fastboot hasn't started because it would have replied with "no devices found"
Uninstall everything (the android sdk, not drivers) and use this guide:

I really hoped that you were right and I just used it wrong BUT:
I installed android sdk exactly the same way as stated in the guide.
Are you sure that "fastboot devices" should give a "daemon starting" and "no devices found" reply? I haven't found any screenshot of "fastboot devices" with one of the two replies. Just screenshots that looked like this:
Plus the guide you sent me states:
Code:
fastboot devices
...and nothing will happen, Why? because there isn't a device attached.
To me it looks like I'm not supposed to get any of the two replies you mentioned.
Enable USB Debugging

I encountered this but then started the phone and enabled USB debugging and it then found the phone.
did u get this going? im having exactly the same issue. cannot get the phone detected in fastboot, either in Linux or windows
I had the same issue. Took my hours, different Systems, Cables... Try the following:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
.
Hope this helps! Your phone should stay at the Huawei Logo (no pink screen!)
Hello all, been scouring the web with no avail, so I must come here for your help.
I used some of the guides on this forum in order to root, install CWR, and Cyanogenmod a few months back, but I'm back again today after an OTA update got me stuck in CWR/bootloader.
I can use both of these, and both of these only. I cannot boot into the ROM.
When looking, I've realized the only way to fix this would be to do a full reset and install the ROM again. I've wiped the device with CWR, but I'm not able to flash another ROM onto the device. (I'm looking to flash the GPE ROM this time).
My computer is detecting that something is connected, but even with the ADB drivers and everything, ADB still isn't detecting the device. Any pointers?
Also when looking around, I also noticed that many guides tell me I need to turn S-ON off, and I've tried doing that with rumrunner, but that didn't work since ADB wasn't either.
TLDR; I'm stuck in bootloader/recovery, am not able to flash/sideload due to my PC not detecting the device.
Anyway, THANKS LOADS IN ADVANCE. I've spent all afternoon searching today, and this is my last resort.

You need to install HTC sync to ensure the proper drivers are installed.
Download HTC sync manager
Install it,
Remove HTC sync manager but leave drivers
place HTC one on boot loader then fastboot option, connect device to computer wait until android 1.0 installs
Disconnect device and boot to recovery, reconnect device and let drivers install.
Run from computer CMD and get to the place where adb and fastboot exes are located.
Type command adb devices
the if successful prompt to do a adb sideload

Alright, I installed and uninstalled HTC sync manager, only uninstalled from PC's native uninstallation process, and not sure if the drivers got uninstalled- didn't ask me about it.
After that, I recall a popup telling me it's installing Android 1.0, which only was active for a moment. I disconnected and booted to recovery, reconnected to computer, and 'adb devices' returned no devices.
Thanks again. Today was the first day at school without my phone this year, and it was dreadful. I'm a total addict.
Do you have a linux distro available which you can try? Preferably Ubuntu. Everytime Windows screwed up, I was able to do adb/fastboot perfectly with Linux.
Install:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Define rules:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51.android.rules
Write this in that file: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="283b", MODE="0660", OWNER="Ubuntu"
Save and exit, then do sudo adb / fastboot devices.

Do you think you could write or link me to a more detailed guide about that? Don't have much knowledge about that kind of stuff. Especially since I don't know what I need to look for.

Take a backup of your data before proceeding further.
Try this,
Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.
Run command prompt as administrator.
Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.
Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.
Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.
If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"
Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".
Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.
When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and ur phone will reboot.
U can now use Kingoroot for pc or any other tool for rooting.
