Nowadays the adb program is found in c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\ instead of the prior c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\

Guide could really use this simple update to help people along in their adb ways, but other than that the guide is absolutely fantastic and helped me tons.

Problems with restoring via fastboot

Hi,

A little background for you... I bought the phone second hand and it already had a version of Cyanogen installed (a slightly older version).

I installed the latest and all was good with the phone. I left the phone for a few weeks until xmas where I powered it on to make sure all was well before wrapping it for my Dad on xmas eve.

Something wasn't right with the phone, not sure what happened.

So I tried to reinstall the ROM, after that i was getting all sorts of issues. The phone for a start was pressing random keys (mainly '3' if that makes sense).

I went all the way back to RC7 and the phone updated during the night it updated to Android 1.6.

I've tired various ROM's after that and seem to have problems with them all. Cyanogen 6.1 seemed to be the best but wifi just said 'error'.

So I read everything I could and installed a new SPL (danger) and radio. I updated first the radio then the SPL.

After rebooting it gave me the option to wipe (see below), so I did.

I'm now unable to do anything but what is listed below.

I have the following:

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA11000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

I'm having problems recovering the phone. When I power up using the camera button fastboot flashes down a list of files it's looking for and fails to see the DREAIMG.nbh and I get the option:

HBOOT

<BACK> FASTBOOT MODE

If I power the phone on with the home key pressed I get the following:

CLEARSTORAGE

DELETE ALL USER DATA?

<ACTION> YES

<POWER> NO

When I select clearstorage I get:

Clear...

done.

<SEND> RESET DEVICE

No matter how many different files I try to flash in HBOOT it won't recognise any of them.

I know the SD card works as I use it in my Galaxy S. I always fresh format the card to FAT32 before attempting the NBH flash.

I've searched high and low for an answer to the specific issue but can't find a solution that works.

Any help would be much appreciated as I want to give my Dad a working phone!

Many thanks,

Gary

Need some help please. Can't get Win Xp pc to recognize my phone

I had adb fastboot and all that running fine.

And had Hboot 1.33.2010 and Radio 3.22.20.17 (don't think this part matters but what ever)

Switched to Hboot 1.76.2007 and Radio 6.35.16.19.

All good.

Switched to a gingerbread rom, so I downloaded latest SDK and installed and grabbed the google-usb_driver package.

USB Debugging is checked. Plug in phone windows say found some new hardware, select driver from the google-usb_driver folder. Windows does its thing and then says there is a problem with your hardware.

Tried usbdeview to remove all the drivers and start again. No dice.

FYI just rebooted into bootloader and PC found phone and installed the drivers fine...

Will reboot after typing this to see if that helped...

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 92drls:
I get to the point where I run the SDK manager.exe and a black cmd looking window pops up for just a second and then disappears. I downloaded the usb drivers but its a rar and once its all extracted theres nothing to install, just readme files more or less.. I've followed every step to this point twice by uninstalling everything and trying again but no luck. What should I try next? Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyfiend:
same thing here, except on WinXP 32bit

I can choose the main folder, which contains the folders for AMD and x86 drivers, but I can't choose the x86 folder in particular. If I let it scan the main folder of USB-Drivers...the install of drivers fails.

I downloaded the OP's usb-drivers, extracted the folder...and tried to point windows towards those as a source of the drivers necessary for ADB via the SDK.... a no-go.

EDIT:

Android SDK ADB up and working...very easy to install the necessary USB drivers via the HTC Sync install pkg out there.

fastboot won't load .img

Hello all.

I have a G1 with:

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Apr 20 2009

Laptop is:

Sony Vaio

4 GB Ram

Core i5

512 MB ATI

Win 7 64-Bit

I have SDK on my laptop already. I've never used fastboot or adb before.

First time using fastboot, I have been trying to update my hboot to the 1.33.0013d.img and radio to the new(?) 2708. When in fastboot, I am able to see my device when i type fastboot devices. But when i try to "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img" it returns an "error: can't load hboot.img"

I've been going at it for almost 2 weeks, read through way too many post and forums, and unfortunately I have yet to find a solution.

So here's my last resort...HELP!!!

I'd appreciate if anyone can possibly provide a basic step by step procedure to help me resolve this annoying and frustrating problem. Thanks in advance. :)

Oh and sorry for not having an error log or whatever it's called. I really don't know much about these things. I mean, it took me almost 2 months the first time to update my radio and spl..still learning.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Check few things...when you are using fastboot flash hboot hboot.img, then you are seeing a transfer then it tries to write it and give the error.

You are installing the radio first and then SPL.

hboot.img is stored on your computer in the same folder as fastboot.exe

Pc does not recognize fastboot mode on device

Hey guys I've been bumping my head for a while trying to update my phone to radio 2.22.27.08 and hboot 1.33.0013d. I currently have adb and fastboot installed on my laptop. Currently I have hboot 1.33.2005 and radio 2.22.23.02 running biffmod 2.1 on my magic 32b(G1).

When I go into "adb devices" it lists my device, but when I go to "fastboot devices" it just prompts back "C:\android-sdk_r09-windows\tools.

I've tried uninstalling the driver and then reinstalling the usb driver while in fastboot mode and it accepts it, however when I type in "fastboot devices" it just begins the prompt over again (C:\android-sdk_r09-windows\tools). If I type "fastboot" it lists the commands. If I type in "fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img" while in fastboot mode on the phone it just says "waiting for device" on my pc.

I have both the hboot image and the radio image in the same tools folder on my computer. Heck I even put them on the sd card.

I've been searching around the forum for the past few days but still no dice resolving this. I've even tried the new tool "Easy fastboot for most htc devices" but it still says "waiting for device..." Which leads me to believe there is a problem with the pc not recognizing the phone in fastboot mode. :confused:

Any and all help is appreciated

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
You can't flash recovery with 1.33.0013d via fastboot.

Do you already have a recovery installed? What version? If its a custom recovery [That supports adb] you can use the following on your computer to push a recovery onto the phone while booted into recovery:

(I'll assume the recovery is named 'recovery.img')

adb push recovery.img /tmp/recovery.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /tmp/recovery.img

now re-boot back into recovery and it will be updated.

From you info however you have 1.33.0013d and 2.22.23.02

With this combination only old ebi0 kernels will work.. you may want to flash update_2.22.28.25_S.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139 to use kernels allowing for additional ram.

(additional info on that thread, however for your installation all you need to do is flash the radio via that update.zip and install the rom of you choice)

E:Cant´t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0

http://www.thenow1.com/cmtnpmods/tools.zip

so download and unzip this tools.zip. take out the tools folder and put just tools folder on the root of your c drive

use the "google-drivers" first, its the newest one, there's two other driver folders in there too if that one doesnt work for you

remember, uninstall all instances of your phone in device manager (composite usb device, mass storage device, android phone) when trying each one...

this stuff will also let you do adb and fastboot too, if you didnt have those

this is the sdk site

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsoul:
1. Open SDK Manager, go to Available packages -> Third party Add-ons -> Google Inc. -> Google USB Driver package

2. Check the "Google USB Driver package" box, then click "Install Selected"

3. When it's finished, the usb drivers should be in android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver

4. Then do the "Install drivers from my pc" and navigate to the google-usb_driver folder

For more details, see Google's instructions here. Sounds like you might need to follow the directions under "upgrade an existing Android USB driver on [your OS]" if your driver is still installed.

you need to install device drivers for adb...

plug device in and allow debugging, do not mount memory to computer just leave it alone lol

go to start menu, right click computer and select properties

on the newly opened screen youshould see 'Device Manager' on the top left corner, select that and wait for new page to open...

now on new page look for android device.. right click and select install/update drivers..

than choose the option of manualy selecting driver from computer

when browsing for driver, open the 'sdk folder' you may have named it something different... should be directly on C: drive, in the sdk folder you will see a folder that says 'extras' open that, then open 'google' folder and should be a usb-drivers' folder. select that folder for the driver to install from..

should say drivers installed successfuly and how now have adb cmd, same steps apply for fastboot, just connect device while in fastboot mode and do the same thing o install drivers!! :D
