help with fastboot - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to get fastboot working to flash the 2708+ radio/hboot combo, for a rom I want to try. No devices show up under fastboot devices (from command prompt), but it does show up under adb devices. I don't have sdk properly installed, for some reason it wont take on my pc. It was a lengthy process getting adb to work a few months ago, I don't even remember what I did. Please help.

make certain the phone is in fastboot and not hboot mode by hitting the back button

you can flash the radio in recovery,attention it has chance to be bricked.

Ok i just recently installed adb for the same reason, i had trouble at first but then i found this video which made everything really easy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg-cGTZE2XI&feature=related
Now adb works on my computer perfectly
once u install adb fastboot is already there, all u have to do is install the correct drivers for fastboot. So this is what you do:
1. turn off your phone and then turn it back on using the back and home button
(this will boot you into bootloader)
2. Now it should some information and it should say FASTBOOT in green letters.
3. If it does, now plugin your usb to your phone and computer and now it will say FASTBOOT USB.
4. NOw that your phone is in fastboot, go to command prompt on your pc to lauch fastboot.
5.If you installed adb using the video above, type cd..
6. again type cd..
7. then type cd android
8. last type cd tools
9. To check if your phone is connected to your computer through fastboot, type fastboot devices.
10. It should show a long number and then connected, this is your device, if it doesnt show this u need to install the correct drivers for fastboot, if it does show your device then fastboot is working and you can use it.
11.If its not working, you need to install the correct drivers.
12. Keep your phone in FASTBOOT USB, Just leave it how it is.
13. Now on your pc, go to start.
14. right click on computer
15. click on properties.
16. click on device manager
17. now find your device, since it doesnt have the correct drivers it should be under other devices.
18. once you find it double click on it.
19. click update drivers, and choose the option that lets you choose the drivers.
20. your pc wiil scan for drivers and if you installed adb correctly, their should be adb interface drivers.
21. choose those drivers.
22. now wait for those drivers to install.
23. ANd there now u have the correct drivers for fastboot!
24. to check if it is working repeat steps 4-9
25. IF it does, You now have fastboot working on both your pc and device!
please hit the "thank you" button

I'm having the same issue myself i think.
Look under N1 Q&A and find the topic "N1 Bricked"
Glad to know im not the only one
I have a iMac and I never even had to worry about drivers.
Just download/install/setup the Android SDK and the rest is automatic.
I have a tutorial called ADB 4 Dummies that will walk you through installing the android sdk 2.2(froyo) and setting up your environments. Step by step for every system.
First thing, unplug your Phone from computer, uninstall ALL drivers and try from scratch.
Also, if you're using windows, when you're done and you plug in your phone, don't choose to "automatically find drivers" instead manually point it to the drivers folder in the SDK.
Don't worry, it's not bricked. lol.

Hmmmm....
There are 2 modes to the bootloader HBOOT and Fastboot.
Make sure you're phone is in fastboot mode... it should say FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red on top. If it doesn't, use the volume down key, select Fastboot and hit the power button once to switch the phone to fastboot.
Remember, "adb devices" works while your phone is turned on regular. If your phone is in Fastboot mode use "fastboot devices"
Ok, are you using windows? If you are;
Turn off your phone and boot it back up in Bootloader mode. (trackball+pwr, or volume down+pwr)
Once it's on bootloader, plug it in to the computer.
See if the computer asks for any drivers, etc. If it does point it to the Drivers folder in the SDK. If it doesn't... go into your Device Manager. (Right click on MY COMPUTER, click on MANAGE and when computer management opens up, go to Device manager from the list on the left). Look to see if there are any icons with an Exclamation mark and yellow background. If there is, right click on it, select update driver and point it to the drivers folder in the sdk.
Basically there should be a menu on top that says "Android Phone" and when you expand that selection you'll see "Android Bootloader Interface".
nope, no luck with that either, I tried it both on windows XP and windows 7. same error each time. Could it be a problem with my device? because Snow Leopard doesn't recognize the nexus as a storage device or anything
Damn. I think i'm out of options. Last thing to try:
- Turn on phone regular.
- Plug in through USB to computer (try a different USB cable, even if that one worked with the CLIQ, try a different USB port also.)
- On Phone: GO to settings, Application Settings, Development, USB Debugging, (if it's checked on, check it off then on again) make sure it's ON.
Go into your Android SDK folder, go into the TOOLS folder. Now click on DDMS. See if it lists your device...
Last thing would be to go back through the Device Manager, and click on SCAN HARDWARE while your phone is plugged in... It has to be on that list somewhere, whether it's a bad driver, etc, it should still appear in your device manager somehow.
alright that didnt work, but, i got it, i just kept unplugging and plugging back in my phone until adb recognized it. then i got fastboot to run and now i have superuser . But now im stuck at another point. I'm trying to do the recovery.img file. I tried in mobile terminal "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" but it told me something like "flash_image not found" I saw that i could do this via fast boot but i dont know how to do that. how would i do fastboot on Mac?
http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/6-upgrade-nexus-one-recovery
when i try to do the fastboot command i get "-bash: fastboot: command not found" i dont think i have fastboot set up right
have you tried typing in "./" before the command? I found that that was one of my mistakes I did when I first rooted my phone
tried that, entered "./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img" and i just get "waiting for device"
I believe you can also try "./fastboot-mac flash recovery ./recovery.img"
Alright I flashed a clockwork recovery through the app manager in the market. Is there any way I can apply the other recovery with an update.zip?
Also, thanks so much for all the help guys!!!!!!!!!!
you can do it through terminal emulator, if you go to amonra's recovery thread he tells you how.
this is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
fastboot somtimes doesn't come in the SDK... download the version for your system from here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/5-unlock-nexus-one-bootloader
place it in your androidsdk/tools folder

Try this lil tuto:
1. Open the Windows Device Manager
2. Connect to phone in Fastboot mode (phone off -> Volume + key pressed -> connecting cable)
3. Connect your phone and ignore Windows messages. Quickly go to Device Manager and look for that just appeared "S1Boot Fastboot". Right click and click "Update Driver Software", once done you can relax, you can release the Volume + key and disconnect the phone. [NOTE: If Windows is trying to install the driver, you will not see "Update Driver Software" until it stops, so hurry].
4. Click "Search for driver software on your computer"
5. Click "Choose from a list of device drivers on my computer"
6. Select "Show all devices" (or something, I can not see the exact text)
7. Click "Use Disk ..."
8. Click "Browse ..."
9. Select the android_winusb.inf (in the folder with Fastboot usb_driver the USB drivers) and open
10. Click "OK"
11. If you get a list of 3 devices, choose "Android Bootloader Interface"
12. BEFORE pressing "Next" you need to reconnect the phone in fastboot mode, here you have to be fast again. Unplug the phone if you had not done before. Plug it back into fastboot mode. Once you do click "Next" on the computer.
13. If you followed the instructions correctly have the drivers installed before the phone was disconnected again.
14. Now you have the drivers installed, the phone will not slip out of Fastboot mode and everything should work properly.

Yes, every time I put in fastboot mode, XP opens a window with "Sony ADB Interface" and tries to install it. But at the end it do nothing and ADB is always a problem.

DONE!
But, I was trying to unlock bootloader. Where I can see if it worked? Now I see that my sdcard0 has formatted with internal data. But I'm trying to install CWM with a kernel.elf (autoroot & CWM) using Flashtool. But... Flashtool says that I must be rooted before doing this. WUT?
Edit: I also see that I lost DRM keys, but I've got a backup to restore them. So... bootloader is unlocked!
Edit: RESOLVED! I restored DRM keys before flash kernel.elf, and it was wrong. So I repeated the procedure without DRM keys and... beautiful CWM with root now I think I can restore my DRM keys. Heheh

[Q] Htc one M7 softbricked and can't connect to a computer

FYI: I am not tech savy at all so bare with me if I sound like a noob/idiot.
I basically formatted my phone from TWRP and I'm thinking there isn't any ROM/UI/kernel?..ect. so it cannot start up (basically stuck on the htc loading screen). My computer detects it but not as a storage device and I can't seem to find a way to access it. I believe I have what i need on my computer but my issue is that i dont know how to get into the internal storage of my htc one because it cannot detect it as a storage device on my computer.
The only trace of it at all i seem to be able to find is in
Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers
Its called "android 1.0" and when i click on it, it takes me to its properties from device manager.
It says Location: Port_#0001.Hub_#0008
I dont know if any of this info i gave is relevant, if not, let me know what ups.

Here is some reading material for you
Bro..I completely understand your predicament..
Just do this step by step
1. Download minimal adb from the internet and install it on your PC.
2. Download twrp image from the internet.this is a recovery loader.
3.copy the image file into the install directory of minimal adb.
4.execute the minimal adb shortcut from your PC.it should open a command prompt.
5.connect your device to the PC via usb.
6. Type this command to check if your device is recognized. "Fastboot devices"
It should show you a device ID..if your device is connected and recognized
7.flash tarp image with this command "fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>"
8.reboot your device..press and hold volume down at the sametime to get into bootloader.
9.enter recovery.
10.Download any custom rom from htconeroot.com.it will be a zip file.
11. Copy the zip into minimal adb install directory and run this command to push the zip onto your device. "adb push <image file>.zip any name.zip"
12. After this completes you should be able to see this image in the filemanager in twrp.
13.move the zip file into sdcard directory.
14.make sure all options are checked in the mount in twrp
15.install the custom rom from install option in tarp.
This is 3 frantic days of research on the internet bro..
I had a brick in my hand too..got it up and running VIPERONE ROM
Hope you get through this fine
Thank you, i really appreciate the effort! but im stuck on step 6/7. When i typed in fastboot devices, it didn't show any new id. and when i typed fastboot flash recovery twrp.img it says "waiting on device" so im guessing it still didnt detect it. any idea on why this might be happening? thanks

The steps are these, and are verified to work on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 (32 or 64):
1. Power off the phone.
2. Hold volume down, then hold power. This gets you into HBOOT.
3. Select Fastboot using the volume buttons, then tap power.
4. Plug the phone in, and you should see FASTBOOT USB. If not, make sure the adb drivers have installed.
5. Open a command prompt, and change to the directory you put the adb and fastboot files in.
6. Type: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
7. Select the key, and copy it. Download the file from your mail called unlock_code.bin.
8. Type (in the dosbox): fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin.
9. Arrow down to YES, press power. Your phone will be wiped, and will reboot.
10. Install the TWRP recovery, and mod away.
TIP: If you're doing a TON of adb and fastboot stuff (as I do), it's a good idea to drop these files in the %windir%\system32 directory. This way, you can type them without changing directories to the path they're in.
Hope this helps.

Make sure the drivers are installed correctly and reboot your PC. I've just tried it and everything work just fine on my PC.

Make sure your drivers are installed correctly as shown above. When in edl mode the drivers are different than fastboot. Try reinstall the application with right click and ‘run as administrator’.
Do you know how to relock the bootloader?

It seems that there is something wrong with the drivers, or maybe the adb installation. Try to find other fastboot.exe and adb.exe then delete all duplicates except for "C:\adb", and don't forget to restart your PC.

This should do it but, I'm not sure if this is going to work on a rooted device.
Code:
fastboot flashing lock_critical
fastboot flashing lock
