(image link is notworking)

still getting this message.:confused:

command is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batchfile
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
That can only mean you enter incorrect path to adb.exe. Try different places to put adb.exe, try to run different exe like one of other programs you're using till you get familiar with how to use cmd. It's hard to tell in distance what you're doing wrong.

I'm very frustrated, I tried everything. The phone recognize the adb devices command, but when I'm in recovery doesn't recognize fastboot devices...what can I do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Markeee:
Just went through the same exact issue here's what I did

Command prompt type adb reboot -bootloader or adb reboot -recovery

Once your in bootloader mode go back to your pc device manager look for the device with the exclamation mark it was up top of the device list on my pc

then right click it update drivers have disk option make sure you have the latest android usb drivers ready in a folder pick from a list of devices option browse to it update drivers from disk then once it updates the drivers type fastboot devices to make sure fastboot is working and sees your device

it worked for me let me know if it worked for you also

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Now I'm having another issue after going through all that and finally being able to get fastboot to work and updating to latest android Feb update now when i type the command adb reboot -bootloader or reboot -recovery it just reboots back into android and won't go into recovery mode i can manually get into stock recovery mode

The way I updated before was typed adb reboot -recovery then once in recovery typed fastboot devices to confirm fastboot was working is was so then i just unzipped the OTA update to the adb folder and ran flash-all.bat
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
If your custom recovery was replaced with stock recovery maybe it was overwritten with OTA update? What was the custom recovery you were using? TWRP? CWM? What happens if you reinstall it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Markeee:
I'm running stock on this no custom its a Google Pixel C tablet and there really no good custom roms for it right now and since google is still updating I flashed it back to stock and it was stock recovery when i just updated it also

Just before i when i ran adb reboot -bootloader it would boot into stock recovery now after updating it it just reboots back into android but i can manually boot into stock recovery but now seems fastboot is not working it there again ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
Let's clarify something.

ROM image - file with the operating system inside. It can be original from manufacturer or custom like LineageOS, ResurrectionRemix, etc.

Recovery mode - a limited boot mode, independent of your normal Android operating system. It can be stock recovery or custom recovery like TWRP, CWM, etc. if you flash it.

Fastboot mode - a diagnostic protocol included with the SDK package used primarily to modify the flash filesystem via a USB connection from host computer.

adb devices

command works when device is normally booted.

fastboot devices

command works only in fastboot mode

So now:

1. did you flash your Google Pixel C through Recovery mode or through fastboot mode?

2. If it was Recovery mode - was it stock or was it custom like TWRP or CWM?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Markeee:
In Windows command prompt i typed adb reboot -recovery

This booted me into stock recovery not TWRP or CWM

Once i was in stock recovery I typed fastboot devices from a command prompt in windows to make sure fastboot was working and communicating with my pixel c and it was so then from within the ADB folder i ran the flash-all.bat that i extracted from the google Feb ota update and it updated my pixel c ok ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
So you're complaining that you can't get into stock Recovery mode with

reboot -bootloader

or

reboot -recovery

commands any more after you flashed last OTA update? But you can enter this Recovery mode manually (I assume pressing correct volume / power buttons combination on the cellphone)? Am I right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Markeee:
Yeah exactly I can boot into stock recovery volume / power buttons combination but it seems fastboot isn't working anymore since i updated the system even when i manually enter recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
You mean

fastboot devices

command does not work any more in Recovery mode? If yes - is there no unknown devices or devices with exclamation marks when device is in Recovery mode? I would try to reinstall device's drivers when it's in Recovery mode. Or download another ones like Android SDK or something.

I did one last research and found an youtube video.

What i did wrong was i did not have de TWRP.blob file but de ISO file.

i followed the video but searched for the correct files my self (links where old)

15 min later and i had root and ready to flash roms.

Please read here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] baSS4:
thank for your reply,

i have used adb before with no problems..

i have copied exe to desktop and tried again, the installer does not state any problem,

but it says "0 files copied" is that right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
If there is C:\adb folder with 5 files in it including adb.exe and fastboot.exe it is right because in this case script does not overwrite these files. Meanwhile what .exe exactly are you copying to the desktop? And what it has in common with installer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bainto93:
My problem

I'm trying to install this package I have tried opening and going through prompts but it always stops me at the same section

Install process:

Run as admin

Press y for install adb and fastboot

Press y for systemwide

At this point it pops something up very fast no error and closes the application. I'm running Windows 10, and entering adb shell in cmd returns adb not recognized etc
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:

Thank you all for the help i figured the easiest way for me was to download the adb platform tools and adding a path in my environment variables was the easiest way i got it working but what i ended up needing it for was no help. XD. I was hoping to make my hotspot unlimited but it in turn the cmd lines i used that were posted in another post made it to where i continually got an error saying that I had not signed up for hotspot, so i had to factory wipe my phone and that fixed it. Ima post a how to on how i actually got internet with my hotspot unlimited in a bit.

Need Help, cant install Drivers

Hello everyone,

I have a problem and was not able to find a soloution four hours so this is my last hope....:(

I have the same Problem like many others: fastboot device is not detected.

The normal soloution wont work for me. In my PCs devie manager i can only find USB-Devices > Samsung_Android.

If i want to install the ADB bootloader Driver as suggested I cant find it in the list.

All i can find is a driver named ADB device. I insatlles it, but it didnt help me.

Also i Tried to force install the driver on my device with no success either. -> Error message telling me that tha driver is not compatible.

Im would be incredibly grateful if anyone can help me out on this.

All i want is to unock my bootloader on my galaxy note 4 in order to root it and install ROMs

Hi appofox thank for your reply,

i tried that but it does not solve my problem.

i cannot find my device in the devicemananger at all when it is in bootloader mode. [IMG="screenshot"]C:\Users\felix\Desktop\Android[/IMG]

somehow they cannot communicate in that mode.

any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
1. Lets clarify something - which mode do you mean by "bootloader mode"? While there can be debates about exactly mode names of the device, let's consider it can be only Recovery mode or Fastboot mode. See here.

2. Try this:

2.1 Start your phone in, as you say, in "bootloader mode". Don't connect it to your PC yet.​

2.2 Open Device Manager on your PC and observe it while connecting your phone to the PC through USB. I bet Device Manager window contents will blink everytime you connect / disconnect yout phone this way.​

2.3 If you can't see phone as a some device in your Device Manager window, it will be hidden in some Device Manager devices group. Try to find it in them constantly connecting / disconnecting your phone to / from your PC.​

First of, thanx for this amazing tool. :good::)

But ..... I'm alittle confused.

Everything installed with

no errors

or other problems, but when I use the command 'adb devices' it says

''List of devices attached

C:\Fastboot>''

In other words nothing shows up, eventhough I have my

Nexus 5

attached in fastboot mode.

But now the really confusing part is that a command like, for example, 'fastboot reboot' works perfectly.

I'm on

Windows 7 Ultimate

.

Is adb now setup correctly or not ? :confused:

Edit: It does get recognized when just staying in the OS.

But it does say this-

''04e9a59009bc5737 unauthorized''

Is that ok ?

Hey appofox,

what i mean by bootloader mode is the mode my device boots into after the command "adb reboot bootloader".

I searched for my device in my device Manager with you method successfully. It seems to be "Samsung mobile USB CDC Compisite Device".

I stil have the problem, that i cannot find anything like ADB... in my its Drivers List.

I appreciate your help bro. Any idea what i can try next?

Regards
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
After the "adb reboot bootloader" command, when your phone reboots into Recovery mode:

1. does this "Samsung mobile USB CDC Compisite Device" in Device manager has any yellow exclamation or question marks?

2. What is the response to the command

fastboot devices

right after your phone boots into "bootloader mode" a.k.a "Recovery mode"?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bizeus:
1. no, there is no exclamation mark.

2. nothing happens/shows up
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
It really looks like driver issue. Did the driver install wizard from this package installed successfully? Try:

1. Install the driver from this package manually. Extract the package with 7-zip or other archiver and launch DPInst_x64.exe if you have 64-bit Windows or DPInst_x86.exe if you have 32-bit Windows.

2. This package does not have the correct driver for you device. Try to install it from other package like this or try to install Android SDK Tools if nothing else helps.

I can't install drivers

I tried to install it but in didn't work. When i get to the Computer Managements, there is an problem icon in ADB Interface and i don't know how to deal with it. Please help me. I already tried reinstalling the drivers but in doesn't work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
1. Do you see problem icon in ADB interface when your cellphone is in normal mode or on fastboot mode?

2. Did you enabled USB debugging on your cellphone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gabricorfer:
It seems it had the problem icon because of the USB debbuging but I reloaded it and the problem icon doesn't appear any more , but I still can't make it work. I followed the steps one by one, enableing the USB device and unblocking the OEM. Then, I opened the driver installer and tried to install them without success.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
Be more precise when you write about your problem. "It's not working" or "I can't make it work" is for sorcerers or shamans. We are not one of them. What command is not working or what exact error messages do you get?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gabricorfer:
There isn't any error messages. It only does as if it were installing but it doesn't. It is already out of my knowledge so i can't be more precise. I'll inform myself about it and then i'll ask one more time being more specific. Anyway, Thank you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
At first - how do you determine that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gabricorfer:
I can't say anything about it. I only thought it because it doesn't do anything. Because of that, i told you i was going to inform myself about it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
What should it do in your opinion?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gabricorfer:
I don't understand your question.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
You state "it doesn't do anything". So I'm asking what do you expect it to do. I'm just trying to identify your problem because you didn't state one exactly from the beginning.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gabricorfer:
Could you tell me what should it do? So, i can tell you if it works or not.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
Hmmm... if you don't know what should it do why are you trying to use it in the first place?

It should allow you to run

adb devices

and

fastboot devices

commands from Windows Command Prompt.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gabricorfer:
I only answered that to make sure. It doesn't allow me to run neither these commands.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
Now you're killing me.

How it doesn't allow you to run neither of these commands?

1. Does your computer say something nasty to you and you shut down it while upset?

2. Does cables tie your hands to your chair and you cant press Enter?

3. Does your cellphone grows little legs and runs away from you?

If none of the above, please be kind and state your case.

C'mon - it's simple to write down what's not working exactly. You just need your wish and time. Don't expect anyone else will do everything for you. Otherwise you're completely don't know what you're doing. And in this case please just google or something at first.

What tools did you use to pack the .bat and subfolders into an executable?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] appofox:
.bat or .cmd are Windows script files. They must run in open Windows environment. To pack everything into some executable setup you should use some special software like wix which is free. You must instruct such software to do the .cmd or .bat script's job so the scripts itself are not needed inside such executable package at all.

Now, i open a CMD and try running both commands you told me. When i write 'Adb devices', it tells me that it doesn't recognices 'Adb' as an internal nor external command, nor any executable program or file. When i write 'Fastboot devices', it says the same, that it doesn't recognices 'fastboot'.
