First question, I suppose you know this is the dream section? Just because you put dream in the title does not warrant its posting!

Second is the fact you state you know the rules but figured you would post because newbies do, warrants you to post the same b/s they do rather than set an example to help keep the place you come to for help a better community? That just makes me wanna slap you so hard your mother gets bruised!

Thirdly read point three of my signiture, it was designed for people like you :D

Can't run adb commands - device not found

Thanks for the info. I am having an issue with running adb commands. My phone is rooted via superboot and I tested it with Nexus Torch which works. Now I am trying to install the new kernel so I can run the wireless tether app... but I can't get any of the adb commands to recognize the phone. I boot the phone by holding the trackball and power button. I am in USB debugging mode. When I run fastboot devices, the phone serial number shows up. When I run adb devices, it says no device detected. And when I try to run any other adb commands they do not work, even though fastboot commands work. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylanfan424:
Sorry i was pretty vague before i down loaded the sdk and also installed the adb setup file included with the superboot pack but just have no idea how to get it to work and add things through adb. I tried typing adb commands into comand line with the phone connected to the computer but nothing happend. just said not recognised command so i just basically need a rundown of how to setup adb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwnvds:
I'm a noob so can't offer much help...but I would make sure the usb drivers are installed if you're using windows....this probably should have happened when you installed the sdk, but you can also install it through the device manager and point it to the folder where the usb drivers are located. Also make sure the phone is in USB debugging mode. also you may need to reboot your pc. Make sure you have setup running when you run the adb commands. you need to be in the same directory as the adb file, or in the case of the superboot pack you need to type "adb-windows" not just "adb". you may also need to put .exe, ie adb-windows.exe.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seraph1024:
You run fastboot from the white screen. Android on non-white screen. It's one or the other. It's ADB or Fastboot (depending on the mode of the phone).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seraph1024:
Is the directory where ADB/fastboot (SDK) is installled in your system path?

I am guessing it's not. If it was, just by typing adb alone (without commands), it'll give you a list of commands. Click here if you want to know how to change your system path to include a particular folder.

:rolleyes: We're now in the age of nintendo pilots and point and click OS that no one knows how to use command lines and system paths anymore. :(

I have done quite a lot of searching but I just don't seem to find an answer: I need to use fastboot. I have installed the android SDK but fastboot is not included.I ead some things that say I need to compile it but I don't know how to do that (willing to learn).

This is on a Windows 7 64-bit system.

Where can I get a copy of fast boot or, how do I compile it from what I have in the SDK?

Please forgive if this is a question that has been answered elsewhere - I did look!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
It's because fastboot was removed in the latest version of the SDK so you will need to go get it from another source, here's a link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31690913/android%20files/fastboot.exe

What is the OPPOSITE of:

adb remount - remounts the system partition on the phone so you can you read/write to it.

I used it to flash audio boost in my phone. That went well.

What I realised after this is that USB connection option does not show when I connect my phone to the PC.

I have a feeling that the USB has somehow not 'unmounted' again. I am not sure if that is the correct problem, but nothing else changed.

Please assist.

Simplifying, I no longer see the notification drop down to mount / unmount USB.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdepro:
Adb remount is undone you reboot your device, there is no inverse command. You're problem is likely caused by the audio boost flash.

Hi guys, noob-who's-trying-to-figure-out-something here. =)

I wish to ask some questions: any answer will be thanked!

Can somebody tell me what does S-OFF/S-ON means? I searched it everywhere but I can't find a place where it is explained.

And...how can I check if a radio is signed or not? I read that flashing an unsigned radio is a quick way to brick the phone, so I wish to know how can I check that.

I am trying to understand better how does everything work before messing something up... XD

Thank you!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auiotour:
Great guide! very detailed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
For S-ON/S-OFF you can check it from fastboot. The "S" stands for security and it's a security check, more precisely a signature verification. On most phones when you unlock the bootloader you get S-OFF, on the nexus one, since there is an "official way" to unlock the bootloader (seeing as it's a developers phone) when you unlock it you keep S-ON. With an unlocked bootloader you can flash unsinged images for ROMs and anything going into the system partition but not for stuff going into the hboot or radio partitions. This is where S-OFF comes in, you can flash stuff to there but the thing is the only real reason you would want to flash stuff to those partitions is to relock the bootlaoder but with S-OFF for some reason it lets you do a "fastboot-oem lock" which will relock the bootloader all together. So all in all it's not all that useful.

If you flash the radio through fastboot and not recovery there is no worry it will check for a signature and if there is none it will abort. But I would still check md5 to make sure they match (check out manD5).

Hope all this helps but as I always recomend with this stuff I'd wait for someone to either confirm or deny what I just said because sometimes people make mistakes. I usually know my way around this stuff but there's a few things I don't know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lork89:

Guys, I'm going to try out ADB commands for the first time and with the goal of possibly developing ROMs one day.

Right now I'm trying to figure out if my LG Nitro HD has an unlockable bootloader or not.

If I do "fastboot oem unlock" in ADB, will that give me an answer or is this command device specific?

Please point me to the right direction. A very detailed search in google hasn't made clear to me how I should go about figure out if a device's bootloader is unlockable. Thx

Update: I tried to both into bootloader and recovery commands. When I run bootloader it will flash LG splash screen a few times and loads the system. When I run recover, it shows the typical android and the box screen and automatically goes into system. I'm lost in terms of what more I can do. Sorry this is super noob questions.

One of two things solved the problem.

Second, from ROM manager there is a use alternate recovery button (Amon RA's).

After doing both of these things the triangle went away.

Custom partition Flashing with FastBoot

Hi,

I want to flash a new partition which is not list below, how to identify the list of partitions name that I flash using FastBoot?

Please help..

Regards,

-Sakthi

Notable fastboot commands:

fastboot devices - If you don't know anything, this is the ONE thing you have to know.

fastboot devices will give you a list of devices connected to the computer. This is also a good way to make sure that your phone is actually connected to the computer.

fastboot reboot - this will reboot your phone normally

fastboot oem unlock - this will unlock your bootloader - NOTE THIS WILL VOID YOUR NEXUS ONE WARRANTY

fastboot erase XXX - Will erase the partition XXX (such as userdata, cache) - mainly used for resetting phone and clearing userdata / factory settings.

fastboot flash XXX YYY - This will flash XXX partitionn with YYY image.

e.g: fastboot flash system system_update.img will flash/update your system partition with an image called system_update

If anyone needs me to dig deep into using anything else, please PM me. I'll add it on here. Hopefully this will help all newbies about the basic commands and what they do.
