Has anybody gotten their computer to recognize their phone in fastboot yet? When I hook it up it comes up with adb interface device yet neither fastboot or adb commands work. Please don't point me to Android SDK or PDANet as I have tried those both. Pointing manually to the inf. I have even tried Moto drivers from their website still nothing. Working on bootloader **** and can't do anything at all without getting into fastboot and fastboot commands.
I can't even get to my standard recovery as I have been trying to do some mods my self and work around the boot loader. I am not able to get the adb interface to work in fastboot either. Even though I have the driver installed and shows it is working in device manager properly. I think there is definetley a driver issue with the adb for this phone.
The motor drivers worked for me adb wise not sure about fastboot are you referring to the recovery menu?

Power off the phone then hold volume down while powering it on. when it says fastboot keep hitting volume down till you get to the option android recovery then hit volume up. When you get the triangle and the android push both volume up and down. You are now in recovery. Adb won't work with fastboot mode.
from what i can tell you need a newer version of fastboot.exe

Ok so I wanted to try out some new Tom's besides the cm7 weeklies and figured I should do a deeper wipe than just the normal cwm wipe but I can't seem to figure put how to get fastboot working I set it up on my phone and navigated to the file ln my laptop and just issued a reboot so I knew how it worked before I started wiping but it just sat there and never rebooted I have is there additional files I need besides the fastboot exe to do a wipe. And is it advised to erase all the partitions before flashing a new rom or is it not needed

I don't know for sure so I'll just tell you what I have in my folder where I have my fastboot.exe. I also have the adb files which include:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
Not sure if that means anything though. Have you updated your drivers recently? What OS does your laptop use? I know if you have the wrong drivers it can cause problems like using 32 bit drivers on a 64 bit system.
As far as wiping, it is recommended especially if you go from a different ROM to another. I usually use this which was suggested by a user named @CaelanT:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall

Well just updated motohelper and no luck still no response in fastboot maybe my procedure is wrong in what way do you wipe
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
ok learning process. didn't even realize you needed adb to use fastboot. so i got that on my laptop.
adb isn't recognizing my phone either so i think i'm still missing something
Right now i know i have the motohelper install adb and and the fastboot files. I may have some other files when i first got my phone that just installed with it was still blurred but i don't know
Do you have "USB Debugging" checked when using adb?
How did you unlock the bootloader? It seems weird that it's not working since you need an unlocked bootloader to run CM7 (which you said you had) and you need fastboot to unlock the bootloader. I don't understand what could have changed since then. Are you using a different computer now?
Just to make sure we're on the same page, are you putting the phone into fastboot before you issue the fastboot commands?
[Turn off phone->Hold Vol down and press power->Keep holding Vol down until it says "Fastboot" at the top of the screen->Release Vol down and then press Vol up]

Yep usb debugging is on
honestly i don't know why it's not working it just says waiting for device, all i need to do is just put into fastboot on my phone, navigate to the fastboot.exe on the command promt. Then plug in in the phone and issues the command correct. are there any other things that need to be running to get it working. is there another step before this for the computer to recognize my phone
There are only 2 things I can think of after the details you have given me:
1. Are you making sure it says "Starting fastboot protocol" at the top of the screen before you issue the commands?
and
2. Have you rechecked your drivers? To me this sounds like the issue if everything else is in place. Try plugging the phone into your computer while it's turned on and switching the "USB Connection" from "None" to "Windows Media" then to "Mass Storage" and finally "Phone Portal", making sure you allow it to install any proper drivers on each connection (takes a few seconds). It's also important to select OK each time you change the connection.
Also, did you get the correct adb files in the same folder as fastboot.exe?
Other than these 2 suggestions I don't know what could be causing the issue. At this point I would be seeking help myself.

ok did some more searching it is the driver just have to figure out what i need to get on my computer now
Ok haven't wiped yet but i got the right driver on my computer now adb now can discover my device and a did a fastboot reboot and it worked cool beans.
just in case anyone else is having a similar problem i had to download the MOTODEV usb driver here http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/ and yes had to sign up for MOTODEV to do it but whatever got it working and i'm pumped
I let my cousin borrow my prime while I went out of town for a few days and when I came back my tablet was completely wiped. All that it has on it is fastboot and fastboot only has two options wipe data or usb. My tablet won't show up in adb but when I use fastboot devices command I get 00000 fastboot. I don't know if fastboot is seeing my tablet or not I'm just hoping I can fix it. After taking with people in other forums I've been trying this method

It seems to work until I get to where I have to flash Roach's modded CWM recovery. After inputting the command this is the result I get.

Does anyone here have any idea what's happening with my prime? If so please help, it will be very much appreciated.
Well, first I would make sure my PC recognizes my TPrime using "devices" command in ADB. If not, remove/uninstall any previous TPrime drivers and install Naked drivers. After that, test by using "devices" command again in ADB. After that, you can begin to utilize ADB and Fastboot commands. Also, I'd stay away from CWM and go with TWRP.

Second option, tell your cousin he owes you 500 bucks, go buy a new prime or infinity and give him the one he broke.

it is highly unlikely it is bricked for good, you could try running through the steps to enable nvflash, and at the final step rather than booting into android (which you cant) run fastboot boot recovery
I've tried that but thanks for the input

I've tried every driver I could find. I just can't get it to show up in adb devices. going through fastboot seems to work though when i use the command for fastboot to reboot the tablet it reboots. I think I will try TWRP though.

At one time, I had issues getting my PC to recognize my Prime too. You need to completely remove all prior device drivers and THEN install the naked drivers. There's a tutorial in that thread as well as a tool (I think) which you can run on your PC to help you remove previous drivers. Once you know they are gone, follow the directions to install the naked drivers. Its a little cumbersome but the process works. You're gonna keep having issues until you get your PC to recognize your Prime in ADB and Fastboot. You say Fastboot works kinda? So, in the device manager in Windows, it shows your Prime is connected as you're in Fastboot mode? If it doesn't or if it shows as an unrecognized device, I don't see how you're gonna be able to fix your issues.

Where is the tutorial and tool? I went through it and didn't see it. Even when I completely remove the drivers, when I plug the tablet into the computer when there are no drivers it tries to install it's own drivers and sometimes they install and I get Asus android device in the device manager with Asus fastboot interface as the driver. other times it just fails to install drivers. I know if I get the drivers right I can limp this tablet back to life but it just seems like no matter what drivers i use i just cant get the tablet to show up in adb.

If you go into device manager and rightclick the asus android device then update drivers. Now do not let windows choose, do it manually and point windows to the naked driver... Also there are 2 drivers.. one for intel 86 and the other for amd... 64 the numbers are at the end of the file name if I remember correctly... be sure to choose the correct one for your pc chip otherwise yeah you can do it all day and get no where... When you try adb, I will assume you are in recovery mode and not fastboot because they are 2 different horses... If you only have fastboot then you should consider installing an older version of twrp like 2.1... I posted it somewhere in here.... that should get you into recovery where you can adb a rom to the prime.... check for posts by me, I have explained this a few times here.....
From a previous post.....
go here ....http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1615990 this is twrp.... download then follow the fastboot install instructions
At this point you probably want to follow the nvflash instructions to install the custom bootloader since twrp says it needs it... go back here and follow instructions... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1774352
start again from ******now boot to recovery....
From the sounds of it you have no rom atm... no big deal... download a rom.. i suggest blackbean or eos...
blackbean found here... http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topi...ackbean-(8-15)
eos found here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1782413
Download and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1426502 naked drivers.... follow the instructions...
I prefer blackbean... anyways.... now download nvflash from here http://androidroot.mobi/?p=452
Unzip the file.. put your rom where you find adb.exe shoudl be in C:\nvflash\tf201_nvflashpack if you put the file in C:
*******Now.... boot to recovery... connect tab to the pc.... with the windows open (nvflashpack) clcik in the window... press and hold shift button the right clcik mouse and select open command prompt here... this should give you the command prompt.
Now copy this adb devices right click in the command prompt window and paste... press enter... you should see your transformer...
now type adb push /name of rom you downloaded .zip/ sdcard
This should push the rom to your tab... it will take about 5 minutes be patient....
Install the zip through cwm....
After you accomplish this, you should complete the nvflash instructions and make your backups...

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.
sent from time out
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.

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!

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?

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.
