Hi y'all,
I rooted my phone recently and discovered that I can put newer versions of Android on my phone on it too, but then you have to unlock the bootloader, but somehow nothing works.
I downloaded the Android SDK from the website and downloaded the platformtools, I fastboot my phone, but when I type the command "fastboot devices" I get nothing, when I type the command "adb devices" i get no repsonse either.
I have an Huawei Ascend G510-0100 with the android (4.1.1) they delivered it with. Newest drivers and everything.

Can someone help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?

I have an AT&T z998 android 4.1.2. I've been trying to root it with no success. When I type in the command in adb, adb reboot bootloader, the phone doesn't go black with a red light the way it should. It says a bunch of jibberish when I hit enter in command prompt but nothing happens to the phone..yes adb recognized the phone, drivers are installed, using Windows 8.1 laptop. I dont know why the phone doesn't respond to commands? Help?? Is there an easier way to root?
i have a dell venue 10 5050 and i was messing around in the bootloader and now i cant boot back up to lolipop
i found a solution but i need adb and i cant get adb to detect the tablet. every time i do adb devices, i get:
"List of devices attatched
"
any ideas on how to get adb to detect the tablet? I have all of the latest intel drivers and android sdk
also, my bootloader is locked and the device is set to MTP, but i cant change it because i cant boot up to the OS
UPDATE: Im still unrooted with a locked bootloader, but i was able to boot into TWRP. I cant get ADB to authorize my device becuase the RSA Fingerprint window wont show up in TWRP... any ideas on how i cant get adb to authorize my device. I can get "adb devices" to say my device is offline or unauthorized.
also, im trying to unlock the bootloader and im doing "fastboot flashing unlock" and on my venue it says "RESULT: FAIL(unknown command)"
any ideas?
Hello everyone!
I am currently having issues with my Galaxy S4. I am attempting to install twrp onto it although I am having issues. I have not made any modifications to it, it is running the stock rom and it is not rooted.
I am following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
I installed adb and fastboot using: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
I have not gotten any errors.
I type into command prompt:
adb devices
I then get my devices id.
I then type adb reboot bootloader
Once it finishes going into bootloader.
I type adb devices and then get nothing.
I also tried typing fastboot devices and also got nothing.
When I use flashboot flash recovery it gives: <waiting for device>
Could anyone help? I am a newbie at this.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I've searched a lot, but haven't found anything. I'm afraid my phone can't be rooted by Magisk because the bootloader is locked. Hopefully someone will tell me I'm wrong?
I followed a fastboot guide (enable OEM unlock, USB debug) and was attempting the command prompts via ADB fastboot folder.
"adb devices" shows me my device ID, however the next step - "adb reboot bootloader" - just reboots. And the following step ("fastboot devices") yields nothing.
From what I can tell, my phone has a locked bootloader and there's no way to unlock it. This is why the ADB fastboot command doesn't work for me.
Furthermore, there's no way to install Magisk without this function. I read something about downloading the original firmware for my phone, but I haven't found the firmware anywhere online.
Appreciate any help you guys can offer. Thank you!
Eric
Bump - please anyone / any ideas?
I got to the fastboot screen on my ZTE K87CA tablet, but when I try to type the command "fastboot flashing unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock", it just shows "waiting for devices". I have searched quite a bit over the web but I have not found a post where someone actually was able to unlock the bootloader on this device.
This is my first time rooting a device
I am trying to find ways to speed up this tablet and free up ram and stuff and rooting the device seemed to be necessary.
If you have answers to my problem please say so.

Have you enabled OEM unlock in stock rom developer options first with stock rom booted?
Also when device is in bootloader type fastboot devices to see if it is registering your device. If it isn't try getting latest fastboot tools from Android sdk and turning off secure boot if you are on windows 11.

I did all the developer settings like usb debugging and and oem unlock.
When the tablet was on normally running, I did "adb devices" and it showed my tablet, but when it was in fastboot mode I did "fastbook devices" and it didn't show anything.
I think I might have thought of something though. When I downloaded the the usb drivers or something; I downloaded the K87CC instead of the K87CA because I couldn't find one for it so that might be the problem
Look into turning off secure boot if using windows 11, and download latest fastboot sdk package
I'm kind of new to this and don't really know where to download all this stuff. could you send me a link?
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but, have you had any chance to find and install any custom rom in ZTE K87CA? My tablet has become extremely slow and I would like to install something lighter.
thanks.
