Have you installed the fastboot drivers? sounds like your tying to run fastboot.exe, you dont do it like that, instead, hold shift and right click, choose open command window, and enter unlock commands into the prompt

ok thanks mate for the advice
what ever I try it wont let me open up a new command window iv got the drivers installed its driving me crazy any help will be greatly apreciated:-(
What PC operating system do you have? You don't get that option in XP.
You will have to click Start/Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt
Then you need to get to the folder your fastboot is in via CD commands.
Let me know if you can do that.
You can also type CD and drag the folder to the command window to save time.

I tried wot u said but cant get to fastboot so I just draged fastboot.exe folder into cammand promp where do I go from here ?
You need some basic command prompt experience, just look at YouTube or something similar. Navigate to the folder where fastboot is located and run it with the required parameters.

SDK sorry. moving to fast
I suggest doing a forum wide search on "sdk xp issue" or just "sdk xp", should find a bit to try. I use windows 7 so am not of much help. Good luck
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
I believe the command window you see appearing when you run the SDK "setup.exe" is an artifact of how the setup.exe program was compiled and linked. It is NOT the window you are supposed to be typing into, and it is normal for it to be unresponsive.
If you want a command window, complete the SDK setup instructions from whatever guide you are using, and then
Click on the Windows Start button
Select "Run"
Type "cmd" in that box and hit return
Up pops a command window; you can take it from there. If you have never used a command window before, you probably should do some reading to find out what they are about and the most commonly used commands (CD, MKDIR, PATH, DIR, etc)

Are you in the same directory you installed all your sdk stuff?

cd C:\wherever\your\sdk\is\located\
Lets start off with a simple question: do you have the sdk installed?
If you wish to use ADB first you have to run it from the directory that it is via the command prompt (start -> run -> type cmd). The easiest way to get it to work by just typing adb at the command prompt it by putting adb.exe in c:\windows.
Sorry if anything is slightly off, I use the Linux version of ADB.

So I am using this method to root/unlock my N7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395 but as this is my first time rooting/unlocking I am kind of lost. I have gotten to the part where it says "In terminal, cd to the directory you have your sdk in" but I don't know how to do the next part, "Then cd into platform-tools."
Any help would be appreciated.

The sdk is the android sdk. If you dont need all that, just find a download for adb and fastboot for your operating system (windows, linux, etc). Then, whatever folder you put them in, click on the empty space in that folder so no contents is highlighted, press and hold shift on your keyboard and right click. Choose open command here from the drop down menu. Command prompt will appear, and you can continue with the input from the instructions.
If you are on windows, let me know and i can upload the files you need. It is much better than downloading the sdk if you dont plan on doing dev work later.
To be honest, there are much easier ways to root and unlock. But hey, learning adb and fastboot is never a bad thing. It can help you so much in the future.

I am on windows... maybe now isn't the time to learn adb and fastboot because I won't have access to this computer in a few days.

Then that might be a good idea. There are kits out there that you can download and help you right through it. Just check the stickies in general and dev section and you'll be fixed right up. Best of luck, and I hope you get it all done!

should still be able to mount usb storage in cmw, that or push files using adb, if you can get into recovery then you can always get your device back
I just helped a user with the same problem yesterday.
Here's the link with steps how to push a rom to your phone with adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137976
can you get into fastboot? if you can then all you have to do is follow this thread:

No, you can't mount USB in recovery. The Nexus 4 does not use UMS.
Ok thanks for the fast reply, im gonna try to push a rom with adb.
''I know you don't have a rom on your phone. This is how you can push one to your phone.
You must be booted in recovery
Put the rom in the same directory on your PC where you have adb.exe
Open up the command prompt from that directory. (hold shift and right click--then choose open command window here)
Then type the command-- adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
The file with push to your phone and then your can select it and flash it from recovery''.
I see this in another thread, Where can i find adb.exe? Im terrible with computers...
Adb is part of of the platform tools for android. Since you unlocked and flashed a custom rom you should have it on your computer.
If you need it, it is located as an attachment at the bottom of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1
I got the attachment, its called platform tools v16, i dragged and dropped an rom in that platform tools file and after that i dont know what to do...
''Open up the command prompt from that directory. (hold shift and right click--then choose open command window here)
Then type the command-- adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/''
This is what i dont understand.

Extract the files in that .zip into a folder and name it something like "Android."
Move the Rom.zip into that folder as well.
Then do the shift and right click and open the command window pointed to that directory. (as I explained above)
Make sure its connected properly and there isn't a driver issue by typing the command: adb devices. If it returns your serial number you are good to go. (If not, you need to install the correct drivers, which are linked in Section A of the post I linked earlier.)
Then type the command. adb push nameofRom.zip /sdcard/
When i type adb devices i can see my serial number and recovery after it.. when i type ''adb push nameofRom.zip /sdcard/ '' i get a message cannot stat 'nameofRom.zip' No such file or directory
What am i doing wrong?
Edit: hahahaha i see what i do wrong nameofRom.zip
Are you actually typing "nameofrom.zip" ?

You certainly haven't bricked it. The fact you can get to recovery means, you can get to fastboot. Simply open fastboot and reflash stock and be more careful next time
Flashed the factoy image 6.0 fine using the batch file.
But now need to flash twrp, i knew how to do it with a cmd prompt but windows updated to 10 and it's now [email protected]#$% F*&^%#%$ power shell so fastboot doesn't work.
Went into settings and clicked off power shell to switch back to cmd prompt, doesn't work,
So any idea how i can flash my twrp again!

Right click on start button, click cmd as administrative, direct to file loaction and you are set to flash.
nope
That"s ok if you know what to type for directory etc but a lot of people don;t
was easy when you could shift/mouse click to open the cmd box in the adb folder

With the latest Win10 update, that brings up PowerShell. You have to type cmd in the search box to open a command window.

Fastboot doesn't work with powershell? Heck I use powershell almost every week flashing kernels, recovery's, etc.

Yes, but thats when only if you turn the option on from task bar or setting itself which refers as 'replace cmd with powershell'. Just turn it off and as i said you are set to go.

Ok so first of all, start cmd then for instance you are set for c drive and your files are in d drive the type "d:", then go to file manager and locate the file Location. Copy the location from address bar and paste it in cmd and cut the drive name from pasted line hit enter.
Type the regular command for flashing twrp and thats it.

So there is a lot of confusion with regards with how to use cmd commands

Apparently Poweshell is turned on by default because I never changed it. I have now changed it back. Thanks.
