Hi,
I'm on the process of installing ClockWorkMod Recovery, stupid of me i forgot to enable USB Debugging option on my phone. Now I'm stuck on Command Prompt saying...
C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash boot recovery-nozomi.img
< waiting for device >
It has been sitting for more than 5 minutes as I am typing now. Should I disconnect the USB cord? Would this action brick my phone?
Sorry for my stupidity!

Hi soulhackereborn!
Sorry for the late reply! Sorry the forum prevented me from posting the URL as I am just a new user here.
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
Anyway the tutorial says (copy&paste):
Use the computer for downloading the CWM file from here.
Then, on the same computer download fastboot from here.
Extract fastboot on C:\ drive.
Then, copy the downloaded “ecovery-nozomi.img” file to the Fastboot folder from your computer.
Now you must connect the phone in fastboot mode with the computer.
In order to do so you must plug the USB cord to the PC, then on your phone press and hold the Volume Up button and while doing this connect the USB cable to your Xperia S.
Up next, on the PC click on “Start -> Accessories -> on Command prompt right click -> Run as administrator”.
The command prompt window will now be displayed.
Now, enter the following commands (press enter after each one): “cd c:\Fastboot” and “fastboot flash boot recovery-nozomi.img”.
CWM will now be flashed.
In the end the “finished / OKAY” message should be displayed.
In command prompt enter “fastboot reboot”.
Your handset should now reboot into ClockworkMod recovery.
Remove the USB cord and disconnect the Xperia S from the computer.

everything seems to be good in the tutorial though..
But what is it a kernel, rom or an CWM image file ???
if still it says waiting for device then here's a couple things you should check :-
1) Fastboot ie; S1 Boot driver installed or no
2) Switch off phone and connect it to the PC via usb holding Volume + button (this is fastboot mode)
3) Check does your device remain in fastboot mode or no i mean purple led light glows stays on continuously or no until u execute the command, if not reinstall the driver and try again
4) If everything well till now try flashing with the given commands without the quotes ie; fastboot flash boot recovery-nozomi.img

1. I dont know how to check, it should be installed as i unlock the bootloader yesterday. I actually manually updated it on Device Manager.
2. I understand this.
3. On my case, it's a blue LED lit steadily after doing step 2. I am using Sony Xperia S.
4. Yes, i flashed them without the quotes.

Try rebooting both your PC and phone... This is a small thing but always helps and one more thing after switching off the phone n before connecting it in fastboot mode let der be a gap of alteat a min or two
Is this tutorial on xda or some other forum if on xda then try messaging me the link or tel me forum sub forum topic and title
Usually <waiting for device> can show up when you don't have proper drivers installed. Double check them if you haven't done so.

i rebooted both the PC and the CP, but i am still getting < waiting for device >...

Dude as far as I know there is no need to check/ tick USB debugging for fastboot... It's just for flashtool..
Try re -installing the drivers again manually or let windows search over internet...

Thanks!
I'm currently downloading Cyanogenmod ver 9.1. Hopefully it works! Thank you so much buddy! You have been very helpful! If I get problems on flashing CM9.1, i'll contact you , hehe
One of the reminders on isntalling CM9 is:
Make sure that your Xperia S is already running a rooted firmware, and that it has the ClockworkMod Recovery properly installed.
How do I know I have a rooted firmware? Do I still need to flash FTF file?
By the way, I am getting a boot loop from CWM recovery, I cant go to the homescreen, no option to turn off! It only reboots the CWM.
(Still downloading CM9 as of the moment)

I'm having trouble getting this POS rooted. Got it unlocked with little problem, but now that it comes to rooting, it's extremely confusing to follow the tutorials. Is there any working one-click methods? I'm no stranger to Android OS, I had my Dinc2 rooted in about 5 minutes after unboxing. But this abomination is really working my nerves. Help please?
There is no "One-Click Root"
But rooting using the given instructions is not difficult at all.
Its as simple as downloading a few files, and typing a few codes.
what have you tried so far? and what firmware are you running?
Since you unlocked your bootloader,here is how you get Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...m.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130639
download the .img ,put it in your fastboot folder
download the rootxperia.zip to your SD card
Turn phone off,plug into your PC/Laptop and hold search button ( might take some tries) ,you should get BLUE LED
SHIFT+RIGHTCLICK on fastboot folder and open in command window (assuming your usiing vista/win7) and type
fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img
wait 2 minutes,it takes time.
Apply zip from SDcard and you are rooted

the wait for recovery to load is HORRIBLE!! lol. push the menu button once in a while if you are unsure. i did. it makes the wait (for me) less painful but installing the .zip and rebooting successfully with a rooted phone is AWESOME!!
Thanks for simplifying it for me Cat. I'm sitting here with my blue LED, my blank screen and my command window that now says "waiting for device" so that's what I'm doing. Waiting. Smoke break time.

are you sure that you installed the "S1Boot Fastboot" driver completely ?

Sony Ericsson sa0102 is installed, but I'm not seeing anything in my device manager about S1 Fastboot. Hmm...how would one go about installing it? I have the fastboot folder on my desktop. It has two subfolders, Fastboot and USB_drivers .

In this case if it's either still 'waiting for device' or trying to boot recoveryPLAY.img, then you're safe to try again since nothing is being flashed
When connected next time, in fastboot mode, before booting the .img, type this:
fastboot devices 'enter'
It will show a list of devices attached.
It might be that your missing some drivers so fastboot is not working correctly and won't detect your device. Have you pc companion installed? I don't remember if there came any drivers with the fastboot download but check that, there might be some drivers you didn't install.
Regards Dousan...
This is what happens. I just get another prompt. Here's a screenshot of that, along with the drivers folder.

That means no device is connected. Unlike ADB, fastboot does not return the usuall "list of attached devices" line. Have you installed fastboot drivers?

I don't know, I just installed what the guy told me to when he did the remote bootloader unlock. Fastboot IS in my device manager, however, it says there are no drivers installed. I've got the blasted things on my desktop with some DPInst.exe installer, but it says I need the 64-bit version, which I can't find. Microsoft tried to have me download some silly .ISO file but I really think there must be an easier way than to burn some DVD installation disk.

Ok these are the x32/x64 fastboot drivers.
http://www.multiupload.com/0XZV1LXRVA
Download them and unpack them. Connect your device in fastboot mode. Then navigate to device manager on windows, Find the S1 Fastboot thats not installed correctly. go to update driver and navigate to the driver package you just unpacked. Done

If I were you, I would follow instructions on following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
The install is using fastboot so it would work for you.
Your flyer is in QDL mode. There is no way to power it off short of opening the device and disconnecting the battery. Based on your description of how you got there it should be fine ok if you let the battery run down so that it powers off completely and then charge and power on again provided you had a working CWM installed. If that doesn't work you will have to send it in for repair.

I tried to disconnect the battery, charge flyer and put it on but it doesn't work... Is there any way to left QDL mode with a program or something else ? :crying:
From what I understand, Qualcomm download mode means that everything is gone, including the ROM and Hboot. Without hboot, you can't recover from this. As globatron mentioned earlier (in December!) you need to send the phone for repair.

Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
second: try to boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB....., then in pc adb type command: adb reboot recovery ....
if you still can't resolve the problem, try this command: type command:

1. Unzip the file, you get filename.elf
2. Put the elf file into fastboot folder on computer
3. Turn off the phone completely
4. Hold volume-up button and plug-in the USB cable (to enter fastboot mode)
5. See BLUE LED on the phone
6. Open Command Prompt in fastboot folder (Shift+ Right Click Mouse, choose Command Prompt)
7. In command window, type "fastboot.exe flash boot filename.elf" (don't type double quote)
8. Wait for flash process completed, un-plug the phone, turn it on, here you go with new kernel
flash kernel with fastboot
for installing a kernel you can use fastboot
the phone should be in fastboot mode:
shut down the phone
push the volume op button and connect the usb cable (the led-light should become blue)
windows
fastboot.exe flash boot kernel.elf
unix
sudo ./fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
kernel.elf is the name of the kernel
Or you can use the unlock tool which is in Xperia S development section and where it says select IMG or SIN file locate the kernel. Click Flash and you are done. Make sure the phone is in fastboot. Also if you want to enter recovery, when the blue light is on, hold the Volume Up button

Guys , I was on Jelly Sandwich with sirikay's kernel. I had some speed problems with wifi. So I thought of flashing stock ICS Rom ST18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel.ftf using uniflash.exe and did it. After flashing it didnt restart. So I clicked the power button to restart manually but just got a vibration sound and nothing else .. just the blank screen. So I searched for stuff about unbricking my device since I thought it's bricked. I downloaded this package "FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe" and started flashing the firmwares. So I held down my volumedown button and connected it to the usb port. It says error and that I have to select usb debugging mode and connect again but I can't even start my mobile.

Can you get into Fastboot? Hold volume UP and plug in usb to pc, if a blue led appears on you ray fastboot works. Then you can flash a new kernel with fastboot and a new rom.

Guys , I was on Jelly Sandwich with sirikay's kernel. I had some speed problems with wifi. So I thought of flashing stock ICS Rom ST18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel.ftf using uniflash.exe and did it. After flashing it didnt restart. So I clicked the power button to restart manually but just got a vibration sound and nothing else .. just the blank screen. So I searched for stuff about unbricking my device since I thought it's bricked. I downloaded this package "FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe" and started flashing the firmwares. So I held down my volumedown button and connected it to the usb port. It says error and that I have to select usb debugging mode and connect again but I can't even start my mobile.
Plz help .. Thanks in Advance

What about SEUS (or PC Companion), have you tried them? You have original kernel, it could work.
Definitely try what thomas1991_12 wrote.

Can you get into Fastboot? Hold volume UP and plug in usb to pc, if a blue led appears on you ray fastboot works. Then you can flash a new kernel with fastboot and a new rom.

Yes youll need fastboot.exe (ideally you want to download the android sdk). I included fastboot.exe in the attachement.
Copy fastboot.exe to your C:\ drive for example, so it looks like C:\fastboot.exe
You then need to open a command prompt (Start -> type CMD).
Type: CD C:/
Now type: fastboot devices
It should then show a questionmark or something. Go ahead and download a kernel (i assume you know what i mean). Then flash it using this command: fastboot flash boot KERNELNAME.img (where KERNELNAME.img is the name of the kernel)
If you want, you can download a rom, open it with winrar or something and extract the Boot.img (this is the kernel), the command would then be: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then type: fastboot reboot
You should then be able to reboot into recovery (press volume down a couple of times on reboot). There you can flash a rom.
Or you can try Flashtool, if you dont know how to work with command-line. It is easier

The only think that i can do is to reboot in cwm by artas by holding volume down when the lights flashing but i cannot install cm 10.1 because my bl is still locked. adb reboot oem-unlock is not working correct. When i push it, sometimes reboot with lg logo sometimg shutdown and if i want to power on again i have to hold power button 10 sec and press it again

i am not so newbie mate, i learn a loto of things in this forum....
Follow this thread (link below) to get fastboot working. Then you can get to the next step. I just posted some instructions from that thread below for FYI.
Batch file command is "start_fastboot.bat" not "start-fastboot.bat"
Also,'when the tool says "Wait 5 seconds" don't wait but put the battery in immediately.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you need:
omap4boot, get it from original thread.
Extract omap4boot archive somewhere like C:\omap4boot (I will use this path in the tutorial).
Power off your phone and remove the battery.
Connect your phone (still without the battery) to the PC.
You will hear the sound of a new driver, then the sound of a driver when it disconnects continiusly.
Start -> Right click on "Computer" -> "Manage".
On the left column, click on "Device manager".
You will see a device that appear and disappear under "Other/Unknown Devices".
You must right click on the unknown device before it disappear, once clicked select "Driver Update".
Click on the second button (manually install driver) and insert the "usb_drv_windows" path (C:\omap4boot\usb_drv_windows) and install the driver.
Disconnect the phone from the PC and power it off.
Open a command prompt (Win+R, type cmd and press Enter).
Type the following command in the command prompt:
Code:
cd C:\omap4boot
start-fastboot.bat
Now input 3 (Prada 3.0 P940) and press enter.
Plug the phone without battery to the PC, when the tool says "Wait 5 seconds" put the battery in your phone.
(The first time that you do this, you have to install the drivers again. Repeat step 9)
At the other prompts answer always "N", this could be important.
Now you can use fastboot on L9 Next times you can start from step 12.

thank you for your responce. Actually the bootloader is still locked. Do you thinkis there any tip or cheat that it is not listed in the steps?
Butentering in fastbootmode will not unlock the bootloader. If you followed the steps in general thread and still cant unlock it, we are with the same problem my friend and.. unfortunatelly, still no solution for me

if you can fastboot then follow this link below and it should work afaik
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221102
You can ignore the part about installing fastboot drivers since you should have it installed already if you are able to fastboot
And I guess you already have LG driver installed.
"IMPORTANT: You must have P760/P765 with P760 V20B EUROPE OPEN rom flashed on it....or OTHER UNLOCKABLE ROMS"

Thank you guys,
First of all i NEVER saw this black fastboot screenin my phone that says "press volume up form unlock bl"
Second, i cannot find EUROPE open 20b...every link is not working
Don't you already have V20B installed per your first post. Otherwise you will have to flash it with the offline method....
if you are able to fastboot you should be able to get to that screen i believe.

If your model p760 you should see a fastboot screen (everything black with dome letters on top). But you can confirm if you are in fastboot mode when you run the start fastboot.bat, open a cmd in the folder that contains fastboot, adb, etc and type fastboot devices
You should see a coupçe of numbers and letters, like in adb devices
If dont appear nothing, your phone doesnt entered in fastboot. Then try flashing ics xloader and uboot and try fastboot again. If your device is seen, you should be able to unlock the bootloader following the tutorial in general thread, always remembering waiting 30 min or more to try
Here you will find v20b europe open:

The download will not work if you have shttps enabled and hosts file still have the lg related lines. You must remove the 2 lines, save it, close shttps and try download again, now will work

yes that hosts file was the problem thanks. Also i already download some x and u but i feel that they are the wrong ones. Can you tell me which ones to download? shall i install them with rooted eu open 20b or with some ics rom?
i never be in fastboot mode. Every time i pushed adb reboot oem-unlock the phone or restarts or turned off (i think)
You can follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44325657&postcount=4
Probably will help you a lot in this fastboot thing, i put a link to Lelus's fastboot thread. Downloading the file from there you'll be able to install your phone's xloader and uboot files

Ah! so with this only i can unlick my BL? no 30 minutes waiting?
No, im sorry, didnt explained to much. Follow that to flash xloader and uboot and then install V20B europe open with the tutorial i said to you. After that, hard reset the phone (turn it off, turn it on and let pressed vol down and home button). After hard reset the phone will restart. Let phone connected to wifi and make sure your sim card is inserted and you have the network signal, enable usb debugging and connect your phone to pc via usb cable in lg software mode. Then wait 30 minutes (best is to wait at least 1 hour). Open a cmd where adb is (if you downloaded fastboot.zip from the link i gave you, its inside the fastboot/bin folder you extracted) and type the following command:
adb reboot oem-unlock
Your phone should restart and show you a black screen asking if you do want to unlock the bootloader. Press vol up to unlock the bootloader. And thats it, hope it work for you

Soory i just saw this message mate. Ok i will do exactly that (according my english your messages sounds more familiar to me)
i will choose order "6" in fastboot that says "x & U for p760 jb (not "2" for ics)
Ok i did this guide
BL is still locked but when i run command adb reboot oem-unlock i saw somethignthat i never saw before
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
but the phone shuted down...no restart and to power on again i kept 10 sec power buton and after it powered on.
Question, when i run oem-unlock the fastboot goes immmediatelly or after some time?
