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
Hello,
I have an EVO 3D that was having screen issues.
When I took it to the Sprint store they said my warranty was void for having ViperRom on the device.
The device was HTC unlocked and had ViperRom redline.
I asked them to not note that down and that I would come back tomorrow with the device back to stock settings.
I made a mistake though when I manually flashed a boot.img using adb.
Now I just get a blank screen when the phone starts. I am not able to enable USB debugging or disable fastboot.
Now I can get into the bootloader by using power and the down key.
Since the phone is in Unlocked Mode and S-ON I can't update through ADB without USB debugging or fastboot disabled.
Also any PG86IMG.zip on the SD card doesn't ask for an update when the phone is HTC unlocked
There is no bootloader option to relock the phone either.
If anyone can please help I would greatly appreciate it. I'm supposed to go back there today 9/18/2012 at 4PM PST
Are you able to get into fastboot on your phone? If so what you have to do is relock your bootloader first. Fastboot oem lock is the command. Your phone should pick up the pg86img file and update.

I can't relock the bootloader using any PC tools. I can get into the bootloader menu by pressing Vol- but since the phone give a black screen when I try to booth I cannot enable USB debugging nor disable fastboot. I think this is what is preventing me from being able to connect to the phone via USB... I'm working on that assumption however I could be wrong.

I can see when I turn the phone on it's actually functioning, just with a black screen. It still makes noises for receiving text and so on I just can't enable usb debugging and disable fastboot blind. I wonder if I found my HDMI adapter if an external display would work. That would be weird.

UPDATE: I figured it out that just by selecting fastboot and THEN connecting the USB I could get USB connectivity!
Hi everyone,
I have a HTC Desire 320 (4Gb/512M ram Kernel v4.4.2). One day when I woke up the screen, I had a flood of errors: <Unfortunately, ******* has stopped> and nothing could be done further except removing the battery.
Also, when I tried to restore the phone to its facytory settings through Recovery Menu, nothing has changed and popup errors 5 sec after startup.
So I'm here trying to unlock my Bootloader using the step-by-step guide from htc.dev but I have NO fastboot entry in Recovery Menu.
Using <adb reboot bootloader> command I could see " =>fastboot mode..." in the bottom of screen but <fastboot oem get_identifier_token> or any other command is responding..
Also I can't flash my phone using SPFlash Tool, installing CWM or TWRP from sdcard or using adb was impossible (read only file system...)
Ultimately, I wanna flash the ROM so here i'm stuck with the bootloader issue...
PS. Unrooted phone, Debugging USB enabled, All usb drivers are installed, NO OEM Setting entry in Developper Options
Any suggestion is welcome..
Come on, I'm struggling here :crying:
For the life of me I can not get my wife's phone into bootloader mode. I have read tons of threads that all say to either hold down power and vol down OR plug in the usb cord (connected to computer) while holding the vol down button.
The power+vol down results in the recovery mode and the other causes a vibration then goes to the %charging screen.
I have adb working cause it returns the device number and also reboots... BUT neither <adb reboot recovery> OR <adb reboot-bootloader> does anything but reboot normally.
Here's the deal, I am trying to get her stock phone to run Android Pay but it fails the safety net. There is a chance that I unlocked the bootloader but without having access to fastboot I can't run <fastboot getvar unlocked> to check.
So my questions are:
Is there some way to get into fastboot that I am missing?
Is there a way to know if the bootloader is unlocked besides fastboot command?
Any thoughts on reasons a stock phone would fail safety net besides the unlocked bootloader is welcome also.
Thanks.
PS. This V-10 in nothing like ny Nexus phones. LOL
I'm trying to root my Lg X Venture, I cannot get into fast boot or edl mode with hardware buttons or using adb commands on my computer. It will boot to android no matter what.
