Hi all, I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my t-mobile variant. I can't get the phone into fastboot trying to hold the volume down+power button when its off. I also cannot get two different computers with adb set up and the proper drivers installed to recognize the phone in adb. Any suggestions?
I couldn't get my tmo V10 into that mode either.

To get to fastboot mode, hold volume down only and plug in usb cable.
For adb use Mfastboot. Download it and extract the zip to your hard drive. From there, open the command window and handle your business. If you are flashing TWRP put it in the same Mfastboot folder.
Here is the link, click the mfastboot text, you do not need any other files from this link.

Hi
I have got a hero on the cheap currently using an iPhone boot looking to move over.
The hero has a custom rom on it, I would liketo try others. Holding down the home button and powering on just leaves it with the G2 boot screen. Holding down back button and power brings me into fastboot USB. When connected to the mac I am unable to see the device / list it using adb devices. If I boot into the os and connect to the mac not mounting the sdcard I can see the device with adv devices.
I'm trying to install a recovery image, this is proving dificult with not seeing the device in fastboot.
Has anyone any thought/suggestions on to resolve? Or point me in the direction of some threads to read.

use fastboot devices when in fastboot...
HI,
thanks for the reply, when in fastboot on the device I use fastboot which i have downloaded from the andriod site and put in my "tools" folder when trying to lash a recovery image it just comes back with a prompt saying "waiting for device"
thanks
just to make sure: you turn off the phone, then turn it on again while holding down BACK. this brings you to a screen with a white background and fastboot written somewhere. then you plug in the usb cable and execute "fastboot devices". if it still doesn't recognize your device then you got a problem somewhere, no idea where though. not sure if windows needs drivers or anything for fastboot to work correctly...
Yes that's correct.
Phone is recognize in everything other than when connected by fastboot.
Thanks for your input
Droid DNA with Supercharged Hatka DNA got stuck in bootloop after running fine for over a year (ROM flashed last February)
I have a *fairly* recent backup if I could get it to boot to recovery, but I would prefer not to considering the 20ish Litecoins walleted on the device. I will be willing to give a whole Litecoin to whoever can fix my problem

Do you have adb? If you do the command is adb reboot recovery. Need to know more it just cycles? If so then try to push both power button and and both volumes until it has lights flashing at the bottom and reboots dont let go until it reboots. Other then that I am not sure. I tried to boot to recovery the manual way and it doesnt work. Which is why i Always use that to reboot recovery. Wait, I figured it out. Hold down volume power dont let go until bootloader comes up then let go of both. use volume down and select recovery and bam!
Okay so I tried holding down power and down volume to get into bootloader, it got me there and I could scroll to recovery, but it kept cycling the reboot before it would boot into recovery. I tried plugging it into the computer to use adb, but it just makes the plug/unplug USB sound in Windows. I also tried holding down all three buttons, and it makes no difference.

Ok so if you have fastboot you should be able to use fastboot to flash recovery. If you are going to use a backup then you would need to have the same recovery image you used for the original. My suggestion is go to twrp and get the image. make sure you are plugged in at bootloader and fastboot is selected. IT should say fastboot usb if you are connected correctly on the top. I am assuming you have fastboot? If not my suggestion is to get minimal adb and fastboot it is the easiest. after you have installed run this command.
fastboot devices
it should come up with your device number if it doesnt then you need fastboot drivers. If it does then take the recovery.img you downloaded and place it in the same folder as your fastboot and adb folder. I suggest changing name to make it easier, I usually just change it to recovery.img instead of whatever it downloaded as. Then enter this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It should say sending and complete then enter this command
fastboot reboot recovery
bam you are in recovery!

IT is a lifesaver and so is adb once you learn how to use them you will be freed from lots of problems! Good luck.

ADB tool is no help, computer will not recognize my phone even with all the HTC drivers installed. I'm at my wit's end, starting to believe something in the phone's hardware is messed up because nothing is working

Which adb drivers did you install and you need the fastboot drivers also. I have never found a phone that would not accept a fastboot command what OS are you on?

ADB and fastboot don't help, since it won't connect to any computer. I'm starting to think this is a hardware issue
I figured out what caused this. About a month ago, I was deleting unnecessary files, and it had been a year since I'd flashed my custom ROM so I forgot what the process involved. I accidentally deleted the 'sdcard' folder, and the phone became a ticking time bomb for it to stop working. I bricked it didn't I?

No, If you have twrp use adb push and push a rom to your phone and then flash it and your fine.

1. Charge your phone (about 24 hours).
2. Let him rest (about 24 hours) without turning on.
3. Connect device to PC with original wire (Win7 preferred).
There is possibility that your BB will recognize phone.

If you can find the last OTA zip you had and pull the firmware.zip file out and flash that in ruu mode. You likely need to hold volume up and power until it reboots then quickly start holding volume down to get to bootloader.

You can find your current software version on your bootloader screen. Then go looking for the update that matches.
You need to pull only the firmware.zip out of the update/otapkg.zip. You will the do the following from your pc. Make sure phone is connected and shows fastboot USB and that your firmware.zip is copied into your fastboot/adb folder.
Fastboot of rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
If it says anything about flushing immediately run the last command again.
When complete issue
Fastboot reboot

I can access only this RUU mode, photo of current state/screen attached. I'm not able to go into fastboot since (power + vol-) not working.
adb is not detecting any device with the command............. "adb devices"

That's stock recovery. Hold power and volume up for 60 seconds. Does it reboot? If so, and you time it right you should be able to hold volume down and get into fastboot/bootloader.
A second option would be to see if the device shows up as an adb device if you chose to update via adb. If it does then use the command adb reboot-bootloader

in the system files the adb file exists but the fastboot file is missing !
Did you check usb debugging in developer options and oem unlock checked?

Volume down did nothing.
Volume up started a firmware update that is stuck at 0%. Had to remove the battery to reboot.

I have LG H960 AY and i cant get into fastboot mode, tryied the adb and up/down while off and connected to pc but nothing works. I'm frustrated
Hi
I sat down for three hours yesterday trying to get fastboot to recognise my device. I have ADB and fastboot files on my Windows 10, and I have the Sony Xperia m4 drivers downloaded.
When my device is powered off, I press and hold volume up, and insert usb cable witch is connected to my computer.
When typing Fastboot devices, the cmd prompt doesn't give me any connected devices...
Is there any installer for the correct drivers and is there any magic trick to manually enter bootloader mode.
I have also tried the Fastboot Software and I still can't enter fastboot mode.
Ok, fixed it
I used these files
