[Q] Fastboot issues :( - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI I wanna install streakmod on my dell streak but I am having problems with my fastboot. I managed to install the drivers and got the fastboot_mode but I was unable to execute the commands. When I executed it, it kept saying that the command fastboot is not recognized! May I know what's the problem? TKS!

You're in the wrong folder, you need to be running it from whatever folder you have fastboot in

Ok. Tks for ur reply. But it seems that I have forgotten where I installed it in. Is there anyway to reinstall the drivers?

And one more thing, the driver was stated as Android ADB interface. Is it correct?

Reboot into fastboot from PC

Hi all,
I am trying to write software that runs on the PC, and uses adb/fastboot commands to the devices.
I know that there are manuall methods to get into the fastboot mode, but I am looking for a way to do that automaticlly from software, very similar has the RUU of HTC does.
Do you have any idea how they do it?
thanks

Adb reboot bootloader
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium App
Thanks for the quick reply,
I have tried "adb reboot fastboot" but I get the message "error:closed".
I am not working on a rooted phone.
My objective is to write an automatic executable from PC, like RUU,
that will open root and/or flash, push new system image.
new phones on HTC and Samsung have unlocked boot loaders which allow to flash and update ROM or images.
But in order to do that the user has to get manually to fastboot.
Is there any other method to get into fastboot in a non-rooted phones?
thanks

I assume you have USB debugging enabled? I have never seen the error closed message before. Even unrooted adb reboot works

[Q] [Q/HELP!] Best Buy Flyer Bricked...

So I soft-bricked my tablet trying to downgrade the hboot to 1.0...03. It is not recognized as an adb device. All drivers are correctly installed, Everything is in line, but I still cannot get it to do anything. Hboot says relocked with a security warning, and even trying to run the RUU through a .zip file is not working. I'm hopelessly lost... Battery is charged up fine too. Help me, please.
Shameful self bump...
Where are you trying to use adb meaning what state is your flyer? If in hboot then adb would not recognize it, go into fastboot and use fastboot commands

That's the thing. Adb does not see it.

Can you access the bootloader?
P.S. ADB commands work only when the OS is booted up, otherwise - you need Fastboot commands
Yes. But fastboot commands weren't working either.

Just a reminder: to use fastboot, you must select "FASTBOOT" option in the bootloader, and you'll see "FASTBOOT USB" in the bootloader.
Try to redownload adb/fastboot utilities
I'll try.. but I've done this already.

Have you tried starting from beginning - lock and flash rug? Should be the easiest turnaround, especially you saying wanna return it? Unless you really can't get it to fastboot usb mode

ADB "No Devices" on Win7 but fine on Vbox same computer

I've been struggling with ADB for the past week or so, and have been unable to see my HTC One X+ no matter what I've tried. Then I decided to install Ubuntu using VirtualBox and voila, It can see my device using the same computer with no problem. I ran an ADB restart just to make sure and it worked. Can anyone tell me why this is and hopefully tell me how to fix it?
This all started when I tried to run an RUU and it couldn't find my phone. RUU's don't run on Linux, so this doesn't solve my problem, just seems to point at Win7 being the issue.
P.S. I've had 5 Android devices, all 5 have successfully connected with ADB on this same computer in the past. I've installed custom ROMs on all of them and have used ADB quite a bit over the past few years. I'm not sure what changed in the past year since I last used ADB that now causes it to not see my device.
Just noticed that I can see the phone in the bootloader using "fastboot devices"... even more confused now!
Well you only need fastboot for an ruu so your good there, maybe you need to setup a path in environmental variables for adb or uninstall and reinstall drivers

The path is already there, the commands work, just no device to send them to. Already tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and the Android SDK.
Not sure how I can use fastboot for the RUU though... I've tried running it from the Windows desktop and it can't find the device. I did try running it while in the bootloader and it starts the process but always fails within about 3 minutes with an Unknown Error.
The only way you can flash an ruu is through fastboot
Also remember fastboot only works in bootloader and adb only works in os and recovery
Maybe post the entire input/output from cmd/terminal here when you run the ruu

The RUU file I downloaded from HTC is an EXE file. How do you run that in fastboot?
I know that ADB doesn't work in the bootloader, but on my computer it isn't working in Recovery or in the OS.
Still best guess is wrong drivers but at this point it really doesn't matter as you can only use fastboot anyhow
The .exe is supposed to walk you through the steps, what happens when you click on it?
Can you extract the contents and do it manually?
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip nameofupdate.zip
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
When I run the RUU file in Windows it tries and fails to connect to the phone. I will do some research on extracting the necessary files from the RUU and manually flashing. Thanks for the help.
Finally fixed using these steps!
