Fastboot, waiting for device.

Hi guys, I recantly decided to update my gt540 from 2.1 to 2.3.3
I followed steps by steps on by this tutorial - http://fdapps.comuf.com/downloads/The LG GT540 Optimus reference page.pdf
Installed rom with fastboot, tried to install Clockwork with fastboot, I typed fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img , and then there's <waiting for device> , doesn't go further, I have everything installed sdk, usb drivers and usb debugging activated. Maybe there's some problem with key combination, to get in fastboot. From google I understood, that I have to turn phone off, then press and hold camera + press power button! I did other combinations too, but didnt work.
Just waiting for device..
Any ideas? I read, that if you're in fastboot there's just a black screen, and on pc desktop appears fastboot usb. I have non of that.
Thanks for help in advance.

fastboot "waiting for device"
I have installed all the drivers and everything is working fine except fastboot. I have "nexus s" with me. The problem is:
I do "adb reboot bootloader" to flash the images, but after that if I do "fastboot devices", it doesnot show my device and if I do "fastboot flash ..", it just displays "waiting for device".

THanks in advance

Turn the phone off normally and when you'from holding down power to turn it on, also hold down camera until you get a black screen.

i Didn't have this problem with my other N4
please help me -_-"

Only fastboot works when in bootloader, adb needs a custom recovery or android to work. Use fastboot to flash the images (run the install all bat file).

Connect your device to the PC in fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices". Do you get an output?
Remember that you have to run the command line from the folder where your fastboot.exe resides.

It happened to me once upon time, I've deleted EVERYTHING, only adb fastboot was working for me, so i connected my phone to my laptop and pushed system.img by wugfresh toolkit.. Try this way.. I hope it will resolve your problem.

Nexus do not want to be recognized by pc

Hi everybody, 2 months ago I tried to encrypt my nexus using the security settings. When my n4 rebooted the touch stopped working. I couldn't use the recovery becouse the data partition was encrypted, so I used this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/tutorial-how-to-unbrick-n4-t2347060) to reset my phone. Now windows (neither ubuntu) do not recognize the n4. I tried to follow any kind of guide or tutorial i found but uselessly. I'm desperate, the recovery doesn't work, if i try ,it stop on android logo saying "no command". Entering in windows device manager (after i formatted my pc) the nexus is seen as "full jellybean on mako", i tested this driver (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/phone-detected-jellybean-mako-install-t2411201) but the situation has not changed. I hope someone can help me.

Does your phone boot?
BTW, if you need only driver download from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/drivers-nexus-4-driver-windows-t1992345

Boot into bootloader and flash stock rom from here :https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
BTW, did you enable developer options?

Sorry, I misread your answer. "It works perfectly" means that i can use it to call or whatever. Using the key combo (vol up+vol dw+power) it doesn't boot in download mode. I think it isn't a driver problem, something in my n4 went wrong. It boot only in fastboot mode and the recovery doesn't work.

If it boots into Fast-boot/boot-loader then problem is solved right. Does your PC recognise your phone when it boots into fastboot mode? If yes then open up terminal and type:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then open the downloaded image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and Execute the flash-all script. This script installs the necessary bootloader, firmware,and system. Wait for a couple of minutes and then phone will reboot itself. After phone boots enable developer options in the phone and enable USB debugging.
If you are still not able to mount the storage in Ubuntu, you can install the mtpfs tool for Ubuntu.
Code:
sudo apt-get install mtp-tools mtpfs
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
and in the 51-android.rules write the following:
Code:
#LG – Nexus 4
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTR{idVendor}==”1004?, MODE=”0666?
Then do:
Code:
sudo chmod +x /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo service udev restart
sudo mkdir /media/nexus4
chmod 755 /media/nexus4
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/nexus4
This should get it working. This thread tells everything in much more detail if you still didn't get it to work.

If no pc will recognize it it's probably your pc port on the device. Have you tried different cables too? It's pretty easy to replace or have replaced.

Seems like something going wrong with drivers, open the device manager on windows, plug in your phone (in fastboot) and uninstall the driver. Then use this http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
Dunno what that full JB driver is about but it doesn't seem right.
You might have to repeat this process when phone is booted normally too if it won't connect via MTP

Hi, just get here after look in several forums.
my laptop can't recognize my n4, also tried in other two computers. i already updated the drivers, used a toolkit. what should i do next? the phone works good, just can't connect it to any pc. "USB device is not recognized"
as i said, already updated the drivers.
Anything else i can do?

[SOLVED] Z1 not showing up in Linux ADB devices

hi,
trying to flash the breadcrust recovery using my linux pc, but the Z1 doesn't appear in the list of devices when running adb devices. Image attached. Normally I would get a request to accept the RSA key for a trusted pc when enabling usb debug. But I don't get this option.
- Adb tools are loaded and working on my linux laptop
- My nexus 7 responds to ADB devices and shows up ok
- tried on wifes windows laptop with adb/sdk tools loaded and no joy there too
- i have developer USB debug options enabled, i've tripple checked this
could it be the cable? I'm using the one which came with the phone, so that should be ok?!!
cheers
SOLUTION - I ran this One Plus Two script modified with the Z1 device ID and now I can see my device in adb devices and interact with it. I get the SHA screen to allow access and can run commands from linux terminal. YAY!
See the attachments for script.

I think it´s a driver fault. Did u install them in windows?

im using linux, i dont get any rsa pop up confirmation either!

and that was the reason, why i installed windows last night. as long you dont get rsa pop up, the device will not listed (i think so)

But u said, that u tried ur wifes Windows notebook. Did u install the drivers there?

ADB doesn't work for me, too. I work around this problem by booting into recovery (simultaneously press Vol+ and Vol- and Power until phone vibrates) and choose "Boot to bootloader" from there. After rooting I installed "Power Toggles" from Play Store and use the toggle to reboot to recovery or bootloader.
By the way, when I boot into recovery, I'm able to ADB sideload. So I don't think there's a driver issue.

ok some progress.....
got the trusted device RSA screen to appear on my wifes windows pc. i could then run adb devices and see the device.
I could run adb reboot bootloader, but the device doesn't boot into fastboot, just reboots as normal!
I could also hold down up/down volume buttons and get into the bootloader, but again the device isn't picked by any fastboot oem checks for unlocking!!
arrrgh!!!

You'll have to add -i switch followed by the device ID to your fastboot command. I don't have it at hand, so just read the TWRP thread.

ok! Some progress...ish.
running "adb reboot bootloader"command in windows worked when I switched Cyanogen recovery updates off in developer options. The Z1 reboots into bootloader.
Running "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem get-device-info" returns nothing just "....."
So I tried "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock" an error returns cannot unlock use command "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go" which works. The phone wipes data and reboots back into OS.
I re-enable the developer options and adb debug. and reboot into bootloader
Run "fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery z1.twrp.2.8.7.0.By.Breadcrust-UPDATE3.img" - some time stats are retunred and OKAY message. But when I boot into recovery it's still the cyanogen stock recovery. not TWRP.
weird!

Your commands are simply wrong, thats why they don´t work.
It is:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem device-info
fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go
Run "fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery z1.twrp.2.8.7.0.By.Breadcrust-UPDATE3.img" - some time stats are retunred and OKAY message. But when I boot into recovery it's still the cyanogen stock recovery. not TWRP.

Flashing does NOT work on the international version, you have to boot into it directly from fastboot.
fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot z1.twrp.2.8.7.0.By.Breadcrust-UPDATE3.img
Should be correct instead of the flash command.

What made the change? I was able to see the RSA screen only once, but after device restored to defaults I can't get it back. same drivers installed, and it appears in the device manager.

I honestly don't know, it just worked after many attempts. I read somewhere about USB 3 ports with Linux so might be the same for windows?

It's an USB 3.0 issue. Plug the phone into an USB 2.0 port, or an USB 2.0 hub plugged into an USB 3.0 port and it will magically start working. God knows why this is the case...
Ironically, fastboot works fine even on USB 3.0...

For to be able to boot (not flash) the TWRP recovery you shouldn't need to unlock bootloader. Am I right?

Booting should work.
At least it worked fine on other fastboot capable devices I've had in the past.

Okay, I have found out that it is impossible to boot from TWRP as log as the bootloader is locked. It just took me 2 hours to setup my phone again after unlock.

Have a look at this thread, I am going to give it a try later.

This did the trick on Linux (Ubuntu):
- run on terminal "sudo gedit ~/.android/adb_usb.ini"
- put "0x2b4c" in
- run on terminal "adb kill-server" and "adb start-server"
And run the fastboot commands with "sudo".
