help am I an idiot part 2

I spent the whole of yesterday trying to add MoDaCo custom rom. from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591 The first of my problems was that I couldn't get the right driver which now seems to be fixed now comes up as - ADB Interface -HTC Bootloader.
So this now means that when i go to fastboot I can load cyanogenMod (system recovery) by typing fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
However none of these commands below in the CMD work. All i get is error: device not found
adb shell reboot bootloader (wait for device to reboot into bootloader)
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push cm-hero-recovery.img /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img
Any ideas please

Still sounds like a driver issue.. have you installed HTC + the SDK?
Restert ur handset into bootloader, hold power + back, then plugin the USB cable.. "FASTBOOT" (,In the red square) shoud change to FASTBOOT USB..
Skip the "adb shell reboot bootloader" and go straight to the next line and boot the recovery image via fastboot
should be plain sailing from there
It does change to fastboot usb on red. The only thing I can think of is do you have to install the sdk as I couldn't see a setup app. I just have all the files on the c dive. Will try skipping the first step when I get home
you dont install the sdk, just unzip it
thats right just the unzip, sorry, the drivers come with the SDK, if you still have no sucsess, do a Controll pannel > system >device manager then scan for device changes, if it finds the device select to install drivers and point it to the SDK folder

Grrrr still no joy. Just device not found. Im deleting all files that I have downloaded for drivers sdk etc and try and start again from scratch.
Do I need to partion my SD card before I do this as i have been having probs with that as well.

Done that as well. If My device runs fastboot this should mean the drivers are correct.

yes if u succeed to enter fastboot, it means it had recognised the phone? are u using windows 7 by the way? cause u have to download the precise drivers for the OS u r using whether x64, win 7 ....
I seem to remember having problems with this until I enabled the USB debugging mode in the options somewhere.
As for drivers, I'm running Windows 7 x64 and the x64 Vista drivers did the job fine.

[Q] Enter Recovery without volume buttons

Good Afternoon Everyone !
I'm new to the XDA , but not a Newbie in the delevoping section.
Because of a hardware problem when i changed the display of my phone
my volume keys aren't working anymore.
Today I flashed the Beanstalk ROM from the user TH3Bill, but unusally it won't start.
So i got the problem right now that it wont boot and I'm stuck with the Motorola Logo,
because I can' get into recovery. Is there any option to get into recovery without the volume
buttons or fastboot ?
PS : sry for the bad english
If you can access adb you can type "adb reboot recovery"

tried it, but it just says that now device was found , but the device is listet in the device manager as adb device interface.
that seems correct, only way to go into recovery without volume is adb or fastboot or ofcourse rebooting into recovery...(as far is i know)
do you know how to use adb?
can you see your device listed when you type adb devices?

Not really, my firstime , but i used fastboot before . but for fastboot you have to go into the fastboot mode, and without wokring volume keys that isnt possible.
No when i type in adb devices, there is no device listed at all , just the line " List of all ADB devices"
First you have to activate android debugging in settings for adb to show ur device.
Secondly, even if u boot into recovery, u cannot use recovery without volume buttons unless you flash a touch recovery, for which I think u need to boot into fastboot which again needs volume buttons...
any other solution anyone?

I cant activate anything, i flashed a new Rom and then I got into a Boot Loop, and yes i have a touch recovery
Edit: I found some threads using adb in a Boot loop, is it possible that i have the wrong drivers ? i used two different mehtods but i can't update the adb interface driver
look
Method 1 :hxxp://atrix4ghacks.com/atrix-4g-hacks/how-to-install-atrix-4g-drivers/ this is where i got stuck
I also found a second with a package to extract which was accesable from the cmd, adb started but the phone wasn't rechable
Edit Edit: It worked with the officila motorola drivers, and the normal adb-tools , thx for your support

I assume your PC has all drivers installed so go to command prompt, there go to your folder where adb and fastboot are.
It should be like this, cd C:\folder_where_adb_is
Now go to recovery mode on the phone and search for Sideload, it can be in install zip from your recovery, click it when you found it.
Go to your Pc and put the ROM to the folder where adb and fastboot are.
Then make sure your phone says it's in adb sideload mode,
On the PC write
Code:
adb sideload file_name.zip
And wait until it's finished
Let's say that's done, but you can't boot, it keeps restarting forever.
In this case, go to your rom.zip open it on the PC and there will be a file called boot.img
Extract boot.img to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Now on your phone, force it to close by holding power, open fastboot
Again open cmd on the PC and point it to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Then write
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

When I write adb sideload file_name.zip, it
returns "error: closed". why?

file_name.zip is your ROM name, for example if you have arhd it can be ARHD_V8.zip or something, just see what name the zip file of your rom has
if this is not the case try
ADB usb before trying adb sideload

No, you have to write only "adb usb".
Then try "adb sideload yourrom.zip" again.
if that didn't work, then reboot into recovery and go to command prompt, and write
Code:
adb kill-server
adb usb
adb push yourromname.zip /sdcard
that should work if nothing else works. im having kinda the same issue right now :/

I just fixed this on my phone, now to to control panel - uninstall a program and delete htc sync manager (only sync manager, not the drivers)
Then try again, if nothing, go to here and install that.
If installed, go to fastboot mode, plug in your phone and in that program, when you open it, it says install drivers, flash rom and such...
Now on the right there is flash TWRP recovery, flash that, if your device is an LTE variant (ATT, Telus) install the ones for that and international for international version, make sure you got the correct one.
Then go to recovery, on the lower-right side there is an "advanced" button, hit that and there should be adb sideload somewhere, click that and swipe left to right to enable.
Go to your PC and repeat the sideloading steps as I said before.

Wants to Install TWRP, but can't get it to bootloader.

Hi all,
I want to install TWRP but everytime I try to reboot to bootloader ("adb reboot bootloader" command), it's only restarting the phone just like a normal restart. Is there any other way or steps to take before reboot?
I'm on F600L20e (MM), OEM unlock and USD debugging are active on setting.
Thank you
Are you on lollipop or marshmallow?

Try the command 'adb reboot recovery'

I also had trouble rebooting into bootloader. Adb reboot bootloader didn't work for me, even though I have the European H960A variant.
I used the instructions from this thread.
The hardware method where you have to use POWER + VOL DOWN buttons worked for me after a few tries. The crucial thing was to release the button in between I think.

I'll try those if I have a chance, can't do that at the moment.
I think I can help with that . There is thread already how to do it here on xda but its not that clear . Few things are overlooked and not explained thoroughly .
Code:

I got stuck little on beginning and after reboot bootloader command . So I'll explain with more details My way = Easy way .
Step 1. You have to have ADB fastboot Installed and lg Driver installed . Follow this link and install adb bootloader . https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 Follow this link to install LG Driver http://lgusbdriver.com/windows/lg-usb-driver-v4-1-1-0 After you install adb there will be folder in your " My Computer / Local **** C " called adb .
Step 2. Unlock bootloader . This link will help you http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0702 Follow all instructions and ignore adb install instructions ( You done that already )
Step 3. Download recovery from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/development/recovery-twrp-v3-0-2-0-unofficial-t3387783 and save this recovery in adb folder that was created when you installed adb and unzip it there into root folder of adb . Also Download super su and put it on sd card of your phone .
On your phone in developer options make sure your adb debugging is activated . And OEM unlock is enabled .
Step 4. Connect your phone and make sure it is set as file transfer and not battery charge or anything . If the phone asks you to allow pc to connect confirm it .
Step 5 . Open your adb folder in c and Holding SHIFT Right-click anywhere ( blank space ) inside that folder , when menu pops up click on Open Command prompt here ( or open power shell window here ) . When it opens go in it and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and hit enter . Your phone will reboot leave the command window open ..... Now THIS is where some people get stuck ! Some pc's don't recognize the phone anymore and they can't flash recovery . This is what you do . Go to DEVICE MANAGER and you will see your phone connected with yellow exclamation mark . It will be either android device or unknown device or usb device , I don't remember . Right click on it and choose update driver , menu pops up go to Browse my pc for software , go to Let me pick from a list of available drivers , go to adb interface ( I think android adb will work too ) click install . When it's done your LG will be recognized by pc once more . go back to command window and type in ( Or copy Paste )
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2.0-0-h960a.img
and hit enter . When it's finished , you have to pull battery out .
Now put the battery back in and PUSH AND HOLD POWER + VOLUME DOWN buttons together . When you see LG logo release the POWER button for one second while STILL HOLDING VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and then push POWER button again . When your phone comes back on again release buttons .Your phone will have white screen asking you if you want to factory reset your phone . ( If you got confirmation on your command prompt on your pc that your recovery was installed it will NOT wipe your phone ) Push YES It will ask you if you are sure push YES again and your LG will restart in TWRP . There you find settings , change storage to sd card and go to main menu , install zip , choose SUpERSU , reboot you are done . Works on Lollipop and Nougat same . I hope I helped .
