Hey i have LG g2 mini (d620r) and fastoot cant see my phone but adb can. when i try to reboot through adb (i used adb reboot bootloader, adb reboot bootloader ,and even tried adb sideload) but it wont work. it just simply restarts. tried patched bootloader but still nothing goes.
The g2m does not support fastboot.
Just follow the instructions in the thread you want to flash.

i tried to flash a recovery and it didnt work and the phone is stuck in fastboot mode
use this
BUT, before you even do a thing, know that you have to use the files that are meant for your phone (you need the recovery and usb drivers meant for your phone; i believe you can use the other files)

My phone can't get to emergency mode and stuck in fastboot mode i have rooted my phone and backed up rom rebooted phone and went straight to fastboot mode what do i do
lg optimus c
Yes the tut didn't work for my phone. for some reason its not being recognized by the fastboot shell nor adb shell. I'd assume its completely bricked ? thanks for all the help.
My phone was not recognized by neither fastboot nor adb while in fastboot mode. "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" generated no result. Nevertheless, the following command worked flawlessly
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
So, it seems that it's not necessary for the phone to show up in adb or fastboot.
Hi all im trying to get adb setup with my Evo 3D (came here as a noob the other day but its all really simple compared to other phones i've done)
anyhow this is the first time i've tried using adb and it just refuses to work, as many of the rom devs say when you install the firmware for the rom you reboot into recovery by either reboot and pull sd card then enter bootloader (works fine OFC) or use adb via
Code:
adb reboot recovery
but it just says error: device not found, fastboot works fine via usb, i can reboot bootloader fine just stuck for answers as to why adb isn't
EDIT: Nevermind i worked it out now lol adb doesn't work VIA bootloader lol! ADMIN PLEASE REMOVE
So I'm in the process of trying to Root my ZTE Smarttab 10 on firmware v03b.
Ive been following instructions on the following pages:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629630
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555
The instructions are spread out across those threads and my problem starts kind of early in the process.
My goal is to use ADB to boot in to the Bootloader and then use a recovery rom to use TWRP to install a rom.
What i have done:
I have installed the ZTE Drivers
I have installed the SDK tools and updated it.
Now when the tablet is running normally I can see it in ADB and is able to run the command.
ADB Reboot Bootloader
This reboots the devices to a black screen (I assume this is the bootloader) and windows recognizes that a device is there.
The problem is that when I try to see this from ADB i cannot see the device when running ADB Devices.
This makes the next step impossible as I need to use ADB to boot a recovery rom.
So I would have posted in the development treads listed above but as I dont have 10 posts (this being my first post) I cannot post in the threads above.
I'm confident that this is a driver problem and I have uninstalled and re-installed all the drivers related to this including SDK.
But no luck yet.
Where other people say they have succeeded is when in the device manager they have ADB interface and ZTE Handset ADB interface listed.
This is the state where I'm at but I still cannot see the device in ADB.
Anyone have any insight on this kind of problem and can offer any help for a solution or direction to get to the solution.
Thank you for your help and attention!

You can't use adb in bootloader mode, you want fastboot. So when you do 'adb reboot bootloader'. It reboots to the black screen (that is the bootloader). Try typing 'fastboot devices' and see if you're device comes up. It should if you have all drivers installed correctly and fastboot on your system. Then you'll be able to do 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' to install the custom recovery, then a 'fastboot reboot' and lastly an 'adb reboot recovery' will get you into your custom recovery to flash a new rom. Don't forget to make a backup.

Thank you for the help ! it cleared things up for me.
Now the trouble's continue.
With the firmware im on (v03b) you cannot use the fastboot flash method but only fastboot.
And they way it is supposed to be done is that you run
fastboot boot recovery.img (recovery being a twrp recovery for my device)
When its booted to TWRP i should be able to see it in ADB to be able to run the following commands to it:
--> adb remount
--> adb shell
--> ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
However I cannot get it to show in ADB (or fastboot) when its booted in to TWRP.
Any ideas?
I managed to solve the last bit to.
Now it was actually a driver problem, so i just updated the driver in device manager and located the ADB driver from ZTE and it worked to boot in to TWRP and then to flash the device.
Now I have CM10 installed and is smiling!
Took me 4 days but damn it its done!
Thanks for the help!
Glad you've figured it out

Hi,
I am trying to see if I can spring an old Karbonn Titanium s2 back to life by installing a compatinble Cyanogen OS in it if I can find one.
I have ADB and FastBoot installed in my Windows 7 PC.
Now the problem I am facing is I just cant boot this damn thing into Fastboot mode.
So,When I do this
adb reboot bootloader
The phone simply reboots. Literally. Reboots.
On the other hand, commands like
adb reboot recovery
works just fine.
Its just the reboot bootloader command that isnt working, which is halting my endeavor at the very first step because I cant unlock a bootloader that is invisible and so I cant install a custom recovery in it.
Any Help??
Thanks in advance.
P.S: The device runs Android JB and is rooted.
Hi all, I wonder if anybody can help with this.
my volume buttons are not working (hardware issue) and I was trying to install TWRP and a custom rom but, after installing TWRP the phone now always boots in recovery mode (at least this is what adb tells me) but TWRP does not really start, I keep seeing only "honor, powered by android" black screen.
adb is working but not fastboot. I tried to reboot to bootloader but it always go to recovery instead. I have no su, and I am stuck just with adb in recovery.
any idea?
If you have full adb access maybe you can restore your backup directly from it
Thanks Rayan
how? what do you mean by "full adb access"?
I tried to run adb sideload but it does not work (it says "closed" shortly after without doing anything)
I don't really understand what the issue is, do you have access to TWRP menu or not at all? And when you say that you can use adb, is the device recognized when you type adb devices ? And what happens when you try to boot in bootloader and use fastboot? Can you try to the command "adb reboot bootloader"?

Thanks Rayan, I finally solved replacing the volume buttons (found cheap ones). However adb was working but no matter which command I was sending (adb reboot bootloader) the phone was always rebooting in recovery mode but TWRP was not starting properly (could not see anything)
with volume buttons I managed to enter into bootloader, reflash TWRP and do everything I needed
Thanks
