I was wondering if it would help if I just factory reset my phone and started from the very beginning. I can't help but feel I am missing something crucial along the way. I followed all the directions to the T, dotted the I's, but now every time I do the adb device command, it does not recognize my phone. It says instead "adb is not a recognizable command". What would you lovely braniacs recommend?
It sounds like you're not in the right directory to issue ADB commands.
For future reference, you should put these type of threads in Q&A, not in General.

Try to right click on the folder with adb in it and select open command prompt here. Then try your adb commands...
Also, you can't issue ADB commands from the bootloader when connected via Fastboot USB. You have to use fastboot commands.
I know you have it setup already, but there is an easy setup guide in the link in my sig. I had problems getting ADB setup on my laptop until I used the guide I mentioned, then everything was fine.

I was trying to unlock the bootloader in my Atrix but I can't seem to get the fastboot to work.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. The adb works perfectly and when I run the fastboot command it gives me the list of syntax for it but when I try "./fastboot devices" it doesn't return anything. If I use sudo then it goes down to a new line and freezes. I'm assuming I need to edit something in rules.d but I don’t know how to get the proper information.
Any help would be great.

is your phone in fastboot mode? adb reboot fastboot
If it freezes at devices it can't see you phone. Make sure your phone says it started fastboot. Hold volume down while booting. When it says fastboot on the phone press volume up.

Well I tried running the unlock in fastboot mode last night.
./fastboot oem unlock
Waiting for devices.
That was as far as I got. My phone was in fastboot mode but it just wouldn't recognize it. I saw some other posts about it saying things about adding to rules.d but I need the right information for my phone.

Hey guys, need a little help. I've been trying to unlock a friends DNA using jcases method and I'm having some issues. I've made it through his process, but when I go to get the token, for HTC, I can't see the phone in adb, while its in fastboot mode. I can see it, using adb devices, when the phone is booted normally, just not in fastboot. Any ideas?

in my experience, when im in bootloader > fastboot, and as long as i see the 'fastboot' header change to 'fastboot usb' ; i can run fastboot.exe commands.
*this post is not counsel and i'm not responsible for any action taken and/or damage to your device.
Ok, ill give it a shot. Earlier I tried and it just said "waiting on device", but I didn't notice if it had changed to fastboot usb.

Push the power button with bootloader is highlighted and it will switch to fastboot usb.

If you are running windows, install HTC Sync and then uninstall it. That should install the fastboot drivers for you.
Have you tried opening command prompt as Administrator?
When I run fastboot in Ubuntu I have to run as superuser otherwise I just get the "waiting for device" message.
thread moved to q&a due to it not being development and it actually being a question
Make sure you're not using a USB3.0 port. That was my problem. As soon as I plugged into a USB2.0 port instead, it worked perfectly.

Was having the same issue myself and this turned out to be my problem. Thanks. Now I got it rooted.
I have same issue on ubuntu, any help?
Hey everyone, I was going to post this in dsb's kernel thread but I'm not allowed since I have less than 10 posts.
My problem is that I tried flashing dsb's cubed kernal (2.4.1) using the All In One Toolkit and I must have done something wrong because I am stuck in a bootloop.
I'm able to access the bootloader and enable Fastboot (computer recognizes the connection), but when I manually go to cmd window and type "adb devices" there are no devices listed.
When I enter device manager through Windows, I can see the computer recognizes the devices as "Android USB Devices". Is there a way to associate the adb drivers to this?
Thanks for the responses!
Edit: Well I realized part of my error was not copying the modules.zip to SDcard, assumed the Toolkit did this...teaches me to assume
I guess the question now is how to get the modules.zip to the SDcard if adb doesn't recognize it? Thanks!
It appears to be a driver issue. Try installing HTC Sync and then uninstalling it. I've read that it should keep the drivers.
Don't do adv devices, do fastboot devices.

Thanks for the input guys. I ended up just doing a factory reset and used titantium backup to restore everything. (whew!) Definitely was a driver problem and is working now.
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.
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.
Ahh, was finally able to get ADB to work on my computer. All good now.
