Cannot get fastboot working in command line (win 7)

Hi to all I have a provlem I need help with.While trying to unlock my bootloader using rsd and fastboot.I get as far as the cmd line entries and have problems basically I cant seem to get my command line to use the fastboot command and or any other fastboot command I can find.What seems to happen all the time is that the command line responds with "this is not an internal or external command" or similar.
Any help appreciated Windows 7 64bit all latest drivers installed

are you in the same folder that the FASTBOOT.EXE is in when you run the command???

Make sure your running CMD as administrator. You can tell by the path that shows when cmd is launched. If its a regular user account it will path to something like: c:\users\"your username"\
If your running as admin it will path to something like: c:\windows\system32

Take your fastboot files and images and put them in a folder on the root of your C: drive... I use one named phone
Then you should be able to open your Command line and type
cd c:\phone
That will change you to the Phone directory you made in the root of C: earlier
If you want to make sure you can type DIR and it should list all the files you have in there.
At this time you can start using your fastboot commands and it will recognize them.

Another handy thing is to open the folder then hold the shift key and then right click. You'll have an "Open command window here" option.

Yep I use that all the time...

used both the suggestions in here and still having trouble,can do the root of c folder,use the dir command see it is all there but the cd C:\fastbootpackage brings the same response again.Can anyone see where I am going wrong?Once the command line changes to fastboot what do I need to command?Phone is still attached (as per the guide I am following?)showing 100% phone needs manually rebooted.
I have all latest drivers on win 7 64bit and I am definetely running cmd as an administrator
Also as the third suggestion suggests if I open the cmd box from the folder what is the exact command to use from there?Is there an alternative to doing this as I am beginning to struggle?

Unlock your Bootloader
1. You need to download and install RDS lite on your PC:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=634879&d=1308872277
2. Download and extract IHOP_Bell.rarhttp://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1136261&v=1&libid=1311795928774&out=http%3A%2F%2Fdiamantephoto.com%2FIHOP_Bell.rar&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fforumdisplay.php%3Ff%3D997&title=%5BPUDDING%5D%20International%20House%20of%20Pudding!%20(Unlock%2Froot%20thread)%20Updated%20July%2023%202011%20-%20xda-developers&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fdiamantephoto.com%2FIHOP_Bell.rar
3. Download and extract Fastboot tools http://gititbit.ch/FAST
4. Power down your Motorola Atrix
5. Take out your microSD card and SIM*card*for the flashing process
6. While turning the phone on, hold the Volume Up button until it acknowledges RSD
7. Your device will say “Starting RSD protocol support”
8. Run “RSD Lite” on your computer
9. Press the “. . .” button next to the box labeled “Filename”
10. Load up the SBF file – IHOP_Bell.sbf
11. Plug your device into your computer
12. RSD Lite should recognize your device and say “Model: NS Flash Olympus” and “Connected…”
13. Press the “Start” button
14. Be patient while the phone*reboots. It will take a long time.
15. Open and extract the Fastboot package from above
16. Open a command prompt window
a.On Windows, press Start and type “cmd” then press the enter button
17.Type the following command. Your directory will be the folder where you extracted the Fastboot package.
(Example:* cd C:\Users\Kenneth\Desktop\fastboot-package)
a.cd*your directory here
18. Power down your Atrix device
19. Hold the power button and the downward volume button until you see “Fastboot”
20. Let go of the buttons and press the upward volume button once
21. You will now see “Starting Fastboot protocol support”
22. Plug your device into a USB port in the back slot of your computer
a.Front slots sometimes do not have enough power to stay connected to the device.
23. Type the following command:
a.fastboot oem unlock
24. You will now receive a warning along with a unique device ID
25. Type the following commands using your unique device ID in place of the ####:
a.fastboot oem unlock ####
b.fastboot reboot
26. Wait for your device to reboot. Congratulations! You now have an unlocked bootloader!
This is the guide I have been using, thanks again

This msg will only show if you are in different folder than your fastboot. You don't need to run cmd as administrator. The best thing to do is:
copy those 3 files (AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe) to your main c:\ (do not put to the folder)
Run cmd and type "cd \" this will move you to c:\
Now type fastboot and press enter - you should see various commands that can be used. (your mobile doesn't need to be connect to your pc to see this)
Now you can continue with unlocking. If you applied ihop.sbf already then startt from step 18.
I'm 99% sure that you were in the wrong folder.

Thanks very much that last post got it.In fact I would say that is the simplest way I have read so far as far as fastbooting goes.Many thanks.I have been having problems installing tenfars cwm so I will be using the rom manager "official cwm,will using the fastboot-w command be a problem for me do you think?

Don't use the Rom Manager app. It sucks and doesn't work properly. Do things properly.
With XDA forum members there's no reason to do things half assed. Use your hole ass, dammit.

Well if you came that far then try to install tenfar's recovery, download this file :recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip Unzip and move recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img to your c:\....Now reboot your phone and enter to fastboot mode. In cmd go to c:\ and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img" and then "fastboot reboot" DONE
If you have any problems try to download moto-fastboot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=635584&d=1308928440). It's kind of the same thing as fastboot and to be honest I don't know what's the different between both (I think moto-fastboot is designed for 2.3.4 firmware). Extract zip and move moto-fastboot to c:\ and type the same command but instead of fastboot type moto-fastboot. I hope this make sense.
Also it's recommended to delete "install_recovery.sh" which apparently is in /system/etc/ BUT I never managed to find this file and I just ignored this step.

thanks foka, but I have already tried and tried again unsuccessfully to use tenfars cwm.I can install the recovery and delete the sh file all as normal using fastboot and astro.However for some reason there seems to be no way I can get into cwm having flashed it.when I attempt it I dont see the same menu I could scroll through as before.Then I tried a cwm of tenfars that was supposed to flash through rom manager.Again the flash went fine but could not seem to enter recovery mode.I see you installed aura 1.1 didi you flash a radio afterwards?My signal is comnstantly 1 bar.Could you reccomend a uk radio?

Well Ive flashed at&t radio N_01.77.30p which solved battery draining and 1 bar issue. I'm not sure why you can't use cwm recovery...

What do you mean you don't see the same menu as before? When you hold volume down, power up phone, fastboot, scroll through the list and none of them say Android Recovery?

Messed up my Nexus 4 :(

Guys i have a problem...
I wantes to delete all data on my N4 and start again with a fresh device, My phone is rooted and i had an custom rom installed, i deleted all data pictures and everything else, after that i also formated the sd card, cache etc etc and thats where it went wrong Now i can go into cwm but nothing more... when i reboot i see the black screen with google on it and after that nothing happens...
How can i solve this problem? I hope that i didnt bricked my phone

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

HELP! Formatted Nexus 4

I am using TWRP and wile i was wiping to install another rom i saw the option format data because i wanted to fully wipe my apps and all but wat i did not saw was that i was gonna wipe the system too. So now i have the phone and i can enter to fastboot and to TWRP but i have no rom to install and i don't know how to transfer a zip from pc to the nexus. Or at least a return to stock so i can re root it.
Please help me.

You can use a toolkit and flash a rom that way. Very user friendly. All you need to do is plug it in and flash it through its menus.

You can use adb to push the zip from your computer to your phone while in recovery.

How do people not read up on what to do BEFORE flashing a new ROM? Or at least search? To the OP, there is a thread in General all about returning to stock using simple fastboot commands and the factory image Google provide so best to follow that

1)Go to recovery TWRP in the N4
2)Connect the phone to your computer with the USB cable
3)Shift+Right click -> Open command prompt here (In platform-tools folder)
4)Copy all the files (ROM + Gapps) to the platform-tools folder.
5)When done,on the command prompt use the command "adb push myrom.zip /sdcard/0 " where myrom = the name of the ROM you wanna flash an wait
5.1)Do the same with the gapps "adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/0" where gapps = name of the gapps zip file.
6)When done step 5 ...go back to your phone and flash a ROM like you normally would.
PS : If you've got problems at step 5 you probably need ADB drivers..just download them from the internet.

If you want to return to stock, I found these instructions very easy to follow:

you are the best. for real. I didnt know what platform-tools was at first, but i got it after i googled. and i kept messing up the code, but you see on my phone, you dont need the /0, /sdcard is enough since there is no /0 directory, but i figured that out too.
thankyou so much. respect.

Yes twrp automatically knows about the 0 folder. It does exist. Just you don't need to see it. Clockwork recovery does not see it so on that recovery you have to push to /sdcard/0/ but on twrp you only push to /sdcard/

[Q] How to push file using TWRP adb sideload and Nexus 4 Toolkits

Hi everybody
Today I've just messed up my phone by deleting all TWRP backups as well as ROM zip files on my N4 (haven't found out why i did it, hell!)
Now after wipe my current rom, I've totally in the middle of "NoRom"
I have TWRP, and Nexus 4 Toolkits installed on my PC. I think all drivers are installed correctly as well, since I used them to unlock bootloader and root my N4 before.
But i just cannot figure out how to "ADB sideload" zip file to my device in order to flash a new rom.
So please guild me to do this. Many thanks
Note: I read on TWRP page and they say that I have to enable adb sideload in TWRP on my N4 (of which i've done), then "From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip". From that point I cannot understand. How and where could I open the command line?
(sounds noobie but since downloading that Toolkits, I've got rid of pure ADB things, so now I don't have the sdk)
Thank you.

Lol, getting rid of ADB especially when you have a nexus was a bad idea. You need ADB, so you also need the SDK (although you *might* find only adb.exe and associated files here on XDA, which should be sufficient for this particular process, but I still recommend the SDK as it is quite handy).
Once you set up the SDK on your pc, go to the folder which has adb.exe, and open a command prompt there. That's the command line you need to use for adb sideload. From there, you can simply type adb sideload file_name.zip, which will place the file_name.zip on your sdcard.
Edit: Forgot to mention this. I never used toolkits and advise using the manual method which will teach you a lot and is more comfortable to use once you get the hang of it, believe me.

OK thank you, i'll try it
Back to the past when i got G1, i was familiar with sdk and adb thing. But as time passing by, i'm getting lazier and lazier lol, so i've almost forgotten those useful stuffs, just use some 1-click tools like the toolkits.

I tried sideload on my nexus 4 but it gives me this error...
"failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)"
I have been trying to sideload cm 10.2 since my phone is stuck on the google boot logo...any ideas as to how to solve this problem?
Cheers beforehand!

close "adb.exe" in task manager

Help please. I've done the same thing as the OP. I do not know what to do next.
I am unable to mount the phone. I click on "Mount" from TWRP's main screen and nothing registers on my computer.
Under Advanced I am able to click on ADB Sideload but then the adb commands do not work to sideload a rom. I am able to use the command adb devices and that returns a response. I have also tried the adb push command to move the rom onto the phone with no response.
What should I do next?

Standard adb functions work on the main menu of twrp
Here is the easiest method.
On your pc go to your toolkit directory
Find the folder that has adb.exe in it
Copy your new Rom to this directory and rename it rom.zip (for simplicity)
Hold shift and right click on a blank bit of the folder
In the pop-up menu there should now be an option saying "open command prompt here" or something similar.
Boot your phone into twrp and plug it into your pc
On your pc's new command prompt screen type
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Once it has completed you can install the rom as normal on your phone

Do you have adb drivers installed?
What happens when you type
adb devices
In the command prompt
You should get the serial number of your phone, then next to it it should say recovery
If you have nothing listed then you have an issue with the drivers on your computer

Hi,
I moved from slimbean build 8 (4.2.2) to Slimbean 5 (4.3)
After a couple of reboot the phone stucks an google screen, I tried to reflash the rom from twpr but nothing chaged.
If I try to sideload small files (like supersu) it works, with rom.zip files not..
I have "* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *" after some seconds.
If I try to use sideload from twpr home (2.6.0.0) adb doesn't work,
adb devices
List of devices attached
0076a0288a8c04be recovery

Cwm
Is it possible to do the same with Cwm instead of twrp? If so, how? Also, i have both twrp and cwm according to rom manager. How?

Thanks your a life saver!

being a noob at all of this, I am getting nowhere..... all I did so far was install android sdk. and put phone into sideload....
when I did adb push rom.zip /sdcard and it did some things?
then I do adb devices (in the cmd line of windows) and it gave me my serial number.... but what now?
I see nothing on the phone to load/install?
also: I type this: adb push rom.zip /sdcard
it says error closed.

Even i have been caught up with this same problem , and i found this thread which was pretty helpful

ADB Sideload
1. Connect your phone make sure it's actually connected. No errors in Device Manager
2. Rename the downloaded ROM you want to flash to something basic, like rom.zip (Names can get rather long)
3. Open CMD (command prompt), & navigate it to the folder you placed the ROM in. or just press shift and right click on the folder where the rom is and select open command prompt here
4. Boot to recovery on your phone and enable the ADB sideload function. Under Advanced in TWRP...not sure about CWM
5. in CMD type adb sideload rom.zip or what ever the name of the .zip is
6. Let TWRP or CWM flash the zip and prompt for reboot.
7. Reboot and be happy, your phone is fixed!
You can then transfer the gapps to your internal storage and flash the normal way through your reecovery or just go through the same process for the gapps after you flash the rom.

I am having trouble installing the adb file.
I don't know what mode my phone needs to be on in order to install adb file.

Installing adb doesnt have to do with what mode your phone is in.
