on my phone i tried updating to the Mean bean and of course i didnt read it all i used the flash apk app to get the rom wiped data all that installed fined boot animation came up and evey thing and i found out you need to be on latest firm ware and wich im not and my phone did not boot and i have nan droid back up is there a way to flash a new kernel in adb or no ? please helpp im s-on 1.15 and yes i still can go into recovery
You need to be S-Off to get the updated firmware. Without S-Off you would need to RUU and take the OTA to get the firmware. Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577&highlight=ruu
To flash kernels while S-On download from Market "Flash image GUI" extract the "boot.img" file and push it in with this app. Then immediately go to recovery and flash the ROM zip.

All you've got to do is fast boot the kernel, the firmware is recommended not a necessity
Mean bean has s-on kernel installer so maybe that's not the issue

it may not be but when i was s on i found that the kernel did not flash right every time best i can say is to start over wipe system and data it is a os upgrade and is manditory then flash rom if still a no boot fastboot the kernel. or let the raccoon out of the fridge to get s off not that hard to do
fast boot
This looks long, buts its just the initial setup too
If you aren't familiar with doing things from fastboot, chances are the first thing you are going to need to do is properly setup the folders to carry out the fastboot flash command. This setup is going to take the most time and after you have it all set up its very quick to do after that.
Setting up ADB:
1) Download the mini-SDK here and move it to something like C:\Android\platform-tools
http://androidforums.com/attachment...90-adb-guide-updated-12-05-2011-sdk-tools.zip
It contains:
adb.exe - Windows adb utility
fastboot.exe - Windows fastboot utility
fastboot-windows.exe - Windows fastboot utility
AdbWinApi.dll - adb link library for Windows
AdbWinUsbApi.dll - adb link library for Windows
These files will be used to push the boot.img (contains the kernel) from a ROM to your phone via fastboot.
2) Download your ROM and open it,
3) Copy the boot.img from the ROM to the same folder as the mini SDK you've downloaded.
4)Plug your phone into the computer via USB and power the phone off. Then press volume down + Power to get to fastboot
5)Once there, we need to open up a command prompt in the location where your sdk-tools are. If you are in windows 7 you can just shift+right click to select "open command prompt from here"
If you don't have win 7 you can manually move to the file location with the command cd to change directory.
6)Once you are in the correct directory you just type in
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and hit enter
7)reboot
or use this choose the JB only version http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1917106
if you haven't read my last thread here is my issue.
my pc won't read my phone because it say "failed to open usb master mode"
i can access bootloader and twrp but i cant usb anything.
my pc will say mtp driver install failed
so my question is what do i need to download for adb fastboot? programs, drivers, all i need since the auto install from my phone isn't working. and if all possible link me to it. ive been up 14 hours straight trying to search every where on what to do but im coming up with nothing. just people saying install and reinstall......so far only clonz tried to help me. i tried sideloading but i didnt know i needed to abd fastboot....tried installing adt from a google search android sdk but eclipse is saying im missing a java file. what the hell am i suppose to do? where does all the adb files/sdk stuff go? im lost already.
Are you trying to copy something to the phone while it's booted up? If yes, you dont need adb/fastboot, only the correct drivers. If you are trying to flash a Kernel, you have to use fastboot. To do this, download the sdk, install it and all the necessary things from the SDK Manager. Then open the command prompt (as admin) and navigate to the folder where fastboot.exe is (probably smth like C:\Program Files\android-sdk\platform-tools). Make sure your boot.img (the kernel) is also there. Boot the phone into the bootloader, then connect it per usb and type
"Fastboot erase cache (optional)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
And reboot

some odd reason when i wiped to to a new rom it like wiped everything and keep saying no os installed. so i never use adb so i dont know what to download and my mtp driver isnt installing properly
I guess you wiped data and it wiped the internal storage too. And now you cant install a rom. I'm not an expert but I guess you could try extracting a rom zip and flash every partition since sideload doesn't seem to work. Better ask a dev about that one, though..
P.s. dont wonder about the "thank", I accidentally pressed it
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
EDIT: Do you have TWRP recovery? If yes, boot into recovery, select "advanced", then "sideload". Now open cmd again, navigate to adb and type:
"adb sideload rom.zip" (replace rom.zip with the name of your rom file)
Note that the rom.zip must be in the same folder as adb.
Wont be able to write anymore 2day, gotta go sleeping, sry (europe ). I hope this works though..

Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting to the forums. I have been trying to get everything done without having to ask questions since there are so many all over the place and I can see how it can get tiring trying to help everyone when their may be an answer out there already if you look. However, I have ran into an issue that I can't seem to find much information on. I have the HTC Rezound that is S-On (apparently you need a Linux machine to get S-Off which I don't have. Using Windows 7.) and have been using fastboot to get things done. I have unlocked the bootloader and have installed the 'Amon Ra' recovery and setup Superuser and SU. As far as I know, I have to use ROM's that are S-On friendly (right?) and I chose to try out 'EclipticRez' and later 'Talon'.
As I tried to flash the ROM's through fastboot it fails with the following errors every time and I cannot continue:
archive does not contain android-info.txt
archive does not contain android-product.txt
From what I found is that it may be a bad download of the ROM. Maybe.... But it happened consecutively with two different ROM downloads.
I also read that maybe the recovery wasn't setup, which as far as I know it is. Should I use a different recovery? Everyone usually references to using CWM, which I wouldn't mind using but I couldn't figure out how to get SU access.
Can I just create the files myself? They are only txt files after all.
If anyone can help me with this I will be so grateful! I'm pretty new to this and it has definitely been a fun learning experience for me
Much thanks in advance!

1) Switch to TWRP or CWM for your recovery.
2) You install the rom zip via recovery.
3) You then need to fastboot flash the kernel from the rom zip you downloaded. You don't install the whole rom via fastboot.
To borrow from the CM11 thread.
- Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Boot to the bootloader.
- Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
- Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
- Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Since you're s-on, you'll need to do this whenever you install a new rom. Using these steps, you can install any rom you want.

also to note....you dont have to install linux to get s-off....if you follow my guide you can do it straight from a live disk rather than installing it....so it wont erase or mess up your windows partition at all
Solved!
Thank you, Mjones, I finally got it! I knew it was much easier than I was making it out to be. I was missing the kernel! Yeah, a crucial part in the process, I know
I first ran CWM and flashed the ROM over and ran the .zip through recovery (which I couldn't understand at first as I could never find it in the directory) but the installer would only go 50% and would fail... makes sense why now lol
I later flashed TWRP and backed up again after recovering from the fail. I flashed over the kernel and voila! So simple... Had to slap myself.
Thanks again! Case solved.
REV3NT3CH, that is sweet!! I have been hoping there is a way to gain s-off with Windows. I have 7 at work and 8.1 (which I can't get anything to work on) at home. I actually have to focus on work today haha so I'll look into the method and try it out tomorrow if I can. Thanks for all of the help.

I need to be able to do it via fastboot, as my Motorola Electrify M is stuck in a bootloop and there's no way I could find to boot into recovery. I'm using ./fastboot update name_of_update.zip and it is an official OTA .zip but I still get this error. Any suggestions?

Did you try this first? (Right from Moto's site)
Perform a factory reset using external keys
1. Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button
2. Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
3. Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
4. Press both Vol up and Vol down key simultaneously. A menu will come up
5. Tap on Vol down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted, and tap Power key. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap on Vol down key until coming to Yes and tap Power key
6. After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap Power key
7. Phone will reboot to initial setup screen.

Qualcomm is harder to flash than MTK that can use SP FlashTool.
on this I use QFIL but keeps "sahara error". I tried searching and try moving firmware file to bin but no Luck. I'm currently trying different version of QFIL Tool.
If it FAILS my only HOPE is to use MUT-QCfire which will Require a "SmartCardReader" Which is a bit pricey and I don't even know if it will work on my device.

If you can get into the recovery and have a valid backup then in that case restore it and restart the process. Else you can boot into fastboot and flash the desired boot.img the process will be
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Well you do need to have the Android SDK tools download but if you select the "Platform Tools" at the SDK manager , that will only install the platform tools on your hard disk. and yes the device drivers needs to installed , to work with ADB ,

Well it seems you have installed the Android SDK all right. and make sure you put the file in the platform tools folder, and also make sure you have installed the HTC drivers for your PC to detect your phone , you can also try uninstall the driver and re install

HTC One X+ (AT&T US) Quad Core Tegra 3
OTA upgraded 4.2.2 Android Firmware 2.15
Unlocked BL via HTCDev
Was using;
Recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-enrc2b.img
With intent to upgrade to 4.3.1
Used the following Rom and GAPPS to load .zips via CWM
cm-10.2.1-enrc2b (stable)
gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Did not work
Tried more recent gapps
Did not work got stuck on Circling Cyanogenmod screen
//goo.gl/YzZ75o
THEN
I realized I was not flashing boot.img taken from the CM 10.2.1 zip so I followed directions to use the boot.img then load the zip files, since doing this I can no longer use my recovery
Erase Cache (from fastboot)
COMMANDs:
./fastboot erase cache
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
Results:
White HTC “Quietly Brilliant” Screen for a few seconds then turns off
Plug in charger and Red light turns on grey empty battery symbol appears with a lightning bolt inside then disappears
red light turns off :-/
//goo.gl/JrBJph
Current state: I can fastboot, but I cannot load recovery
//goo.gl/43F6XT
Also, if I can get back into recovery
The last time I was in it, last night I believe I reformatted my internal SD, because when I was looking for my backup, and my zips they were all gone...I was very tired and should haven't pushed it.
I don't care about loss of data I just need to get my phone working again, thanks for your time and careful considerations
UPDATE+++
Used WinDroid HTC One X+ Toolkit 3 to flash custom recovery CWM 6.0.3.7 back in recovery again, now I think I need to side load a ROM because I deleted what I had internally

I hope this adds to this post if I miss speak I apologize in advance but I do not have the time or knowledge to post 10 times before strating my own thread so if this doesn't add value to this post, I have been reading and researching all week and now that I cannot use my phone I must intensely focus on this until it is fixed

Will do, thanks!
evitareul? Does that mean Flash TWRP recovery and then use evita ROM?

Ok, from what I can tell I think I have to go with this?
[ROM][2/18/2014][AT&T X+ S5 eXtreme V1.0.3.3]
I will be very happy if I can get this to work, and I will just "stay tuned" for when I can flash a stable 4.3 or higher for my phone
Under downloads I see the following: (would post picture but still too n00b)
S6 eXtreme RC1
S5 RC2 Patch
Native WiFi
Hotspot Patch
S5 eXtreme
V1.0.3.2
S5 eXtreme
V1.0.3.3
I am not sure what to download here, I will continue reading these directions as I believe this is my best option, please confirm if I am on the right path, thanks guys!
Update+++
Downloaded S5_eXtreme_V1.0.3.3_Signed.zip
about to flash this ROM, is GAPPS included in this?
Update+++
Downloaded S5_eXtreme_V1.0.3.3_Signed.zip Rom
Extracted the boot.img file and followed instructions
Extract boot.img from zip file and place in your sdk platform tools folder, (or wherever your adb tools are located)reboot device to bootloader and connect it to your PC.
From a command prompt type:
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. fastboot erase cache
reboot to recovery and flash ROM.
but I am not sure how I flashed the ROM, I tried sideloading from recovery with WinDroid HTC One X+ Toolkit, before and after and it said no package loaded
Then I tried to load from fastboot, finally I figured "well I might as well reboot" and amazingly enough it booted...not sure what exactly but I am back on 4.2.2 so thank you!
I'm using an Empire ElectroniX D709 tablet, running Android 4.0.4. It's an old low-spec device, and I'm planning to use this device to improve my Android hacking skills.
I've asked the manufacturers to send me the stock ROM, which they did. Pretty cool!
The problem is that there's no flashing tool or instructions included, and the staff I spoke with did not know how to flash it either.
So now I'm on my own, with a big image file I don't know how to flash.
I tried to start a development thread at the Miscelleaneous Android Development section, but because I have almost no posts, I can't post there. So maybe this is a good place to ask. How can I flash or unpack this image?
You can find the ROM here: http://www.needrom.com/download/empire-electronics-d709/

You have to manually flash them using fastboot. Look up how to get fastboot and move the image(s) to the folder were fastboot.exe is located. Boot into your bootloader either via adb reboot bootloader or by physically doing it from the device. Now here is where most people fail. At the end of the file name, before the .img, it should be either boot, fastboot, recovery or system. If it is system, then do fastboot flash system nameofthesystemimg.img and if it is boot, you get the idea.
Thank you. Fastboot is a good idea. Problem is that I don't know which partition this .img file belongs to. I have the feeling that this file contains every partition, yet I'm not sure how to split it up so that I can flash each partition.

Will you mind sharing the whole file name? If it is an all partition img you can do fastboot flash all (I think). Just type fastboot and see the all option in the help menu.

The full file name is D709_n.img. Theres an option fastboot flashall indeed.
Right now, I'm trying to get the device into fastboot, without success. Things I've tried until now:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
adb reboot fastboot
Every time, the device restarts and just enters the normal mode. I can get into stock recovery, but there's no option to restart to bootloader there.

Hmmm, if you type adb devices, do you see your device there? If not, search online for drivers. If that does not work, google your device and how to get it to fastboot.

Yes, it's fully recognized, and I can adb in it just fine. I also get an adb prompt in recovery mode that lets me control the device. The only problem right now is getting this thing to fastboot.
Update
After googling its model number (crane-evb), I found out that this device can be flashed using LiveSuite (described here). It's nice to see the device back in its factory condition. Now I need to find a way to extract the partitions.

YaY! I was going to say that in stock recovery there is this option called update via adb or something but now that it is working, there is no need for that.
