need root help, probably adb help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found this thread about my Prism
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698905 post 5
I can press volup and power for 15 sec and get android recovery screen.
I can connect my phone to my laptop.
I can run "adb devices" and get List of devices attached: "20F3A........... recovery" so i think it sees it.
But when I run "fastboot reboot" (to test the connection) it says "waiting for device".
I think I have to give another command to adb, but don't know what.
If you can help, I'd much appreciate it!

If the phone runs ADB, it's not in fastboot mode.
fastboot is a boot loader feature. ADB is a service at the operating system level. They are mutually exclusive.
Take to phone back to fastboot if it's what you want.
Code:
$ adb reboot-bootloader

Thanks! Please pardon my ignorance... I did:
Code:
adb devices
pause
adb reboot-bootloader
pause
fastboot reboot
After adb reboot-bootloader my phone changed from the recovery screen to the white tmo logo screen and hung.
fastboot reboot still says waiting for device...
EDIT Okay, I think I've figured out that, from power off, volup+power=recovery screen , and voldn+power=fastboot screen(white with tmo logo).
But I can't do anything from that fastboot screen. The computer recognizes it when I USB plug it, but it still says waiting for device.
EDIT: It appears I have a driver for adb, but no driver for fastboot, or just plugging the powered off phone in to usb.

fixed.

[Q] Sprint optik can't switch to USB Debugging mode after flashing kernel

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.

Can anybody know what should I do now ? My intention is to root and flash CM10 to v55,and can be recongize by my pc again.
The kernel I flashed into is in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555,kernel #60 for v55.

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.

Thank you for reply.
The adb command I use is install by v55's driver.Everytime I use adb, I always go into the driver's dir (C:\Program Files\ZTE Tablet V55 USB Driver) which adb.exe is in.
And this dir is in my path.
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 ?

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

It's very nice of you to keep help me here ,thanks again:good:!
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.

Oh wow, that is quite the ordeal, but atleast its something huh, lol
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

Fastboot mode on Acer A3-A30

Hi!
I recently got my new Acer Tablet A3-A30. After unlocking developer options and activating debugging I was able to use adb. So I rebooted into bootloader to see if fastboot works - it did not! The output of fastboot devices was empty (this and the following commands were typed as root).
So I killed adb with adb kill-server, disconnected it from my computer and turned it off. After a few moments I turned it on by pressing power while holding Vol[-]-Key. Again the tablet booted into fastboot mode. Now I connected it with my computer and hoped fastboot will recognize the device now. Again, the output was empty.
I noticed, that after connecting the tablet, the text fastboot mode on the display didn't change - all other devices I put into fastboot mode showed fastboot usb mode or similar after I connected them with my computer.
I tried different USB ports - nothing changed.
I'm just wondering, since I'm not familiar with acer devices: Is there a hidden key sequence to get into fastboot usb mode?
Thanks,
Tintom1

I have an a1-830 and it can be a real pain in the ass to get anything working on them. Try this, since you got adb working, adb reboot bootloader, then wait till it says fastboot cmd waiting or something. If that din't work, reply!

If you are using Linux, try running fastboot with the sudo command. Also, the drivers might not be properly installed, check out this to download them.

Phone not responding to fastboot commands even though drivers are installed.

I'm trying to test a twrp recovery I ported to my phone, but fastboot isn't working correctly. Adb works fine, adb devices shows my phone. Windows device manager shows adb composite device, all is well. Adb reboot bootloader puts the phone into fastboot as it should. Device manager then shows android boot loader interface. It should be working since it seems like the appropriate drivers are loaded, but fastboot devices gives me a blank line. Fastboot reboot just shows waiting for device and never gets any further. What am I missing?

OPPO F15 not rebooting into Fastboot mode.

Hello Friends,
I have recently Purchased an Oppo F15, I have enabled developer mode, OEM Unlocked, and USB Debugging, with the latest adb drivers installed on my PC.
while I am running the command "adb devices" it returning with the device name I have connected i.e. Oppo F15 but when I am running the command "adb reboot fastboot", "adb reboot-bootloader", "adb reboot bootloader" the device reboots but not going to fastboot, it just reboots in normal mode.
Please help me if I am missing something in this. My device is running with Android version 9.

Try this commands sequence
Code:
adb reboot
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader

The bootloader is blocked by code combination. If you try to see more attentive you'll notice the tiny message on the black screen while rebooting.

Question Fastboot?

Hello.
Today I updated from the Nord 5G to the Nord 2 5G.
DN2103_11_A.14
I have enabled developer mode, oem unlock and adb debug.
I can't access fastboot properly. And recovery is different from the previous Nord. There is no option to reboot to fastboot.
I use adb reboot-fastboot and I enter a sort of fastboot. It says:
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
The device is in fastboot mode which is only for debug Android devices. if you want to exit fastboot mode, please long press volume up nad power buttons simultaneously.
Phone is recognized in windows when in adb-mode (normal booted), but does not recognize it when in this new fastboot mode. Just an Android with an exclamation mark on.
Halp?

This is normal behaviour with the OPN2 afaik. Your PC can access the USERDATA folder whilst in ADB mode (aka booted normally) and whilst in the recovery bios. Your pc CANNOT access the USERDATA folder when your phone is in fastboot, or at least I've never been able to on my Nord 2.
Your op didn't include what exactly you need help with. Everything you described is exactly intended behaviour. From my understanding your seem to have booted into fastboot mode, then noticed your PC can't access userdata. That's normal, you can still use fastboot commands and your PC is still connected to the phone. Your "My Computer" folder on PC not showing the phone shouldn't be any cause for alarm.
Now I'm starting to guess, because you might have failed to mention; Are you unable to send fastboot commands to your phone when its in fastboot mode?
Are you trying to flash a file?
What's the issue?

I am unable to send fastboot commands. Is not recognized by "fastboot devices". And this fastboot mode looks nothing like my previous phones. 2, X, 5T and Nord 5G. <waiting for device>
I want to do my "usual routine" with my new phones. Unlock, flash twrp or other recovery, and flash magisk for root.
After a "full wipe" of ADB and fastboot drivers, I reinstalled and got it working!
nothing. only recovery mode
vol down+ power =recovery mode
vol up + power = normal boot
I finaly boot into fastboot mode with adb command only (adb reboot bootloader)
With buttons wont work.
But i can't enable Volte/Vowifi (thats why i wanted to boot there).
Can you send adb commands when in recovery mode ?
I'm trying to enable VoLTE too, but adb only detect phone when powered normaly, not when in recovery mode.
i don't know about adb but in fastboot you can.
I can't enable volte/vowifi in fastboot with this commands.

Could you go into more detail on what you did in the entire process exactly? Did you use the drivers and adb install from the 15 sec installer? Did you simply uninstall them in the Windows Device Manager and click on "update drivers" to find the local drivers from the 15 sec installer? Which ones did you choose? Sorry, these might be dumb questions, but I'm admittedly very stupid when it comes to Windows and drivers in particular.
I did the exact thing I described above but I'm still just getting that message. Additionally, "fastboot devices" won't list anything and "fastboot oem unlock" will wait for the device for eternaty. "adb devices" on the other hand will list my device while not in Fastboot.
