[Q] Stuck in Fastboot and not being able to connect to PC

Alright, I am having some trouble with the Nexus and hopefully someone can help me with this. Then Nexus was unlocked and rooted but I was still rocking the stock rom on there. The tablet used to be recognized by the computer and everything was fine. I used a car charger today to charge the tablet, came home, and the tablet would no longer show MTP when connected to the computer but rather would only charge.
I thought it was an issue with the rom so I downloaded a new rom, made a backup and went to flash it. Something happened when I was flashing the rom which forced the tablet to reboot and all it would get to is the Google screen. It won't go past that. I can get into the bootloader but can't boot into recovery or the system. Its not being recognized in fastboot mode either so I have no way to flash a recovery onto it...
Any suggestions?

have you tried force rebooting it a few times to try to get it ti boot up?

Can I take a look at it for you? Send me a PM and we will chat on google talk. I have some ideas though, we can connect remotely with teamviewer and I'll see if I can tell what's going on.

Any luck? I'm having the same problem.
The device is not recognized by the computer at all and the bootloader freezes then I connect it to the computer or the charger.

I've tried three usb cables on three computers (with W7, W8, Ubuntu and OS X). Makes no difference.
It does however indicate charging then it's off.

After that it stuck at Google logo and when I try to plug in the usb to computer, the fastboot freeze...
What to do man? Please help me

Please anyone help help ???

Are you two able to get an adb connection? If so, and you can get into fastboot, you can download and flash the Google factory ROM.
If you are not familiar with adb, try the Nexus 7 Toolkit from Skipsoft.net to flash the OEM ROM.
I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.

I had similar issue
When I first unlocked and rooted my N7 .... and then tried to flash AOKP, I had a very similar issue as it would not boot into OS or CWM! SO i left it for some time and then crossed my fingers and tried to boot into bootloader 1 day later and then CWM ..... and it worked!
I think this is quite good advice for u to try out!

Thanks for the reply mate
I can get into fastboot but once I connect the usb, it freeze and the toolkit I used (GNEX TOOLKIT) couldn't get my device :crying:
And sorry to ask, what is adb connection?
I only know fastboot, now my N7 only can boot in fastboot without usb plug in :silly:
But I will try to use the toolkit you recommend me, hope it works :fingers-crossed:
Thanks a lot

Thanks for the advice

Google Fasfboot and ADB. Between the two of them, you can flash recovery, push & flash ROMs, etc. The Nexus 7 Toolkit makes Fasfboot & ADB commands pushbutton choices.

Nexus 4 - bricked? - TWRP - no OS installed

Hi All,
I bought a Nexus 4 on eBay thinking I could fix it but I am really struggling.
The nexus 4 has TWRP 2.8.6.0 but that is all.
I cannot enable USB debugging as I don't have any rom installed.
I have tried a USB OTG cable with power, but have learned that the phone still cannot output the right power? The light on my usb stick comes on but TWRP does not list any USB OTG.
This phone does not have an SD card slot, so I cannot load anthing this way.
Is it impossible to get this phone working?
Kind Regards,

Have a look at this thread ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
(Read the thread thoroughly, and take notes, its real easy to get lost in the middle of the procedure and mess it up, and having to start again).
Flashing the stock rom is done entirely via fastboot, so you shouldnt need to worry about adb.
If you can boot into bootloader you should be able to flash stock image, once you get the windows drivers sorted. Luckily I'm on a Mac, so drivers haven't been an issue. I had a similar scenario sometime ago, and after flashing stock, all was good in the world again. I may be wrong, but you'll probably need the latest platform-tools (which contains fastboot) if you're flashing the latest stock images. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that one).

This is good information, but I cannot get any further that plugging the phone into the PC, I have tried 4 different usb cables and with them all windows 7 and XP says "unknown device".
I wasn't sent the original cable from the owner which I am asking to do if they have it, but it may be a long shot for them to still have it.
Looks like I need the original usb cable?

I don't think the cable needs to be original, I've used a Motorola cable on my N4 to flash stock, with no problems.
Is the phone in fastboot mode when you connect to pc?
Have you tried these drivers?

For information I am using a cable from a usb cable that came from a Nexus 5.
When the phone is connected to the PC it had an android lying down with an open chest.
When pointing to the android developer sdk drivers as above it does it's usual thing of saying it is already up to date below that still saying unknown device. I'm so frustrated right now.

Can you reboot to the main bootloader screen?
The reason i ask is .. When you see the android lying down is there a list below showing the phone stats? If not, possibly this is why windows is reporting an unknown device.
You should try to get back into fastboot
This has the info to get to bootloader if youre not sure how..

Sounds like youre in the right mode. The problem would likely be on the pc/driver side.
P.S. in fastboot mode, you only need to use fastboot on pc .

The driver issue is a massive stumbling block.
I'm still not sure if the cable will work.
I understand I can use fastboot after the PC recognises the nexus 4.
I have a Lubuntu PC this may help me but I have no idea where to start in terms of the drivers.

I use a mac, so im no use when it comes to linux variants etc.
Depending on the power of your pc, you could try using a virtual machine (i.e. virtualbox running windows xp if you have xp disk, or even windows 7). Ive done this before on the mac (xp virtual machine) and it works. This way you can install the correct drivers on a fresh install of windows, without messing with the host OS.
Otherwise, best bet is to uninstall any drivers in your current windows, and install divers from google link i posted earlier.

just outta curiosity, when you plug the phone in (in bootloader mode) change dir to the one with fastboot.exe in and type (in command prompt):
fastboot devices
what output do you get?

Just to check I am doing it correctly, I launch cmd in windows, change the directory to the location where fastboot is and type "fastboot devices". The result of this is it just gives the directory name again waiting for another command.
I hope I'm not coming across as ungrateful, I assure you this is not the case.

ADB Disconnects when phone is in bootloader

So I'm trying to install TWRP through ADB, but every time i reboot my phone into bootloader, adb disconnects and my computer does not recognize it. This problem only recently started. I am on the official version of Nougat. Does anyone else have this problem and know a solution? Thanks!

ADB is only supposed to work while the phone is loaded into the OS or in sideload mode. In bootloader mode, only fastboot will work.
So the correct command to flash the recovery would be:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-name.img
Example:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img

sorry my mistake, I meant fastboot. The problem I'm having is that i cannot even enter these commands. It disconnects as soon as it goes into bootloader mode.

Uninstall and then reinstall the drivers by connecting the device. Also, try switching ports.

as weird as it may be, try changing the cable also
I was getting fastboot errors when flashing recovery few days ago, and just by curiosity,I tried with another cable.. it worked with no errors
one more thing.. if you send an adb command to reboot in bootloader, then you have to physically unplug your phone from the computer and plug it back again
only after that, fastboot devices command will show your phone in fastboot mode

Does charging work fine? And did you try using a different computer? Try charging the phone with that cord that you're using. (even though it's really short, see if it charges steadily)

Try updating adb drivers. and make sure you're using data transfer cable, there are many charging cables out there.. those will not read your phone in transfer mode, I've faced this, solved by purchasing new data cable.

nexus 6p not showing on device manager

Hi, my 6p will not show up on my PC. Have tried installing drivers, different PC, different cable but nothing works.
I recently upgraded to android O. I extracted the files from system image and flashed boot image, vendor image, and system. But now when I try to go into recovery it says no command and I lost root access but my bootloader is unlocked. I never flashed the recovery thinking TWRP would stay intact but I guess I was wrong. Normally I would just use ADB and fix it but hence my problem. Is there any way to root without PC or any way I can fix my situation?

Having the same exact issue here, hope someone has a way to fix it.

So your phone will boot into the OS, or not? If so, make sure USB debugging is set to "on" in Developer Settings. Can you put your device in fastboot mode by holding down the volume down button before hitting the power button? The "no command" means you are in (stock) recovery. You then have to hold the power button down while using the volume buttons to navigate. Power button is confirm. Get your phone into bootloader mode and use ADB to flash TWRP again. @meoshe

Yes phone is working fine. Debugging is on. Can't use ADB phone does not get recognized by PC, only charges. Dint even get the pull down notification once I connect usb. Tried changing connection to mtp in developer options also. Nada. Nothing works to fix it. I'm thinking my charging port might have something wrong with it I don't know. I'm stuck not having root atm.

Gotcha. What about the other points? Entering bootloader mode from a powered off state, and that you are in Recovery mode (no command), and navigating thru it with the power+volume buttons?

Yes that works. Thank you. But still can't root phone and can't flash TWRP. Was looking at a root APK but not sure if they will work with O. If I could root then I could install TWRP thru it's app but I need root for that.

You can't root the phone until you have a working custom recovery. Focus on either fastboot flashing or fastboot booting TWRP.img

How do I go about fastboot booting TWRP image?
I can get into bootloader from phone but I can't use a PC.

I did read your OP, but this sounds like a driver issue. There are two drivers that need to be installed first the USB and then fastboot. Since you can boot the device and use it, maybe you should try NRT by Wugfresh to install, test and confirm the drivers are properly installed. Booting or flashing TWRP is just a different command. Instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, you use fastboot boot recovery recovery.img. The NRT toolkit can also either boot or flash a recovery image.
EDIT: Also try "Revoking ADB debugging" and re-enabling @sonysingh1983

Hi, just tried the mtp setting in developer options. Didn't get it the first time but now am able to access internal storage. I have plug sound app from play installed and I get a notification sound when plugging and unplugging. First try there was no sound when changing from charging to mtp. Ok after repeating it. Hope that helps.

Just as a follow up I got my win10 pc to recognize my O flashed nexus. I booted into bootloader after I had updated my sdk and drivers through android studio. It recognized the phone but nothing was happening. I rebooted into the os and the access allow prompt popped up on the phone and adb was able to see it under listed devices.

Nexus 4 bricked, no OS, no recovery.

Hello
I tried a Nougat rom for the Nexus 4 which was available as a full update package (including system bootloader rom etc) and installed it with the update command from adb instead of from custom rom.
now my phone is bricked and I cant seem to get it fixed.
It either gets stuck in a bootloop, or i can force switch it to bootloader mode. From there I can go to recovery but the stock recovery is useless.
Problem is when i connect this to my windows 10 pc, it shows no sign of being detected. I installed drivers over and over including the universal ADB and fastboot drivers available here on XDA. it doesnt show up under adb devices command and even the Nexus 4 rootkit doesnt detect it as a phone.
I wanna make this phone working again. I'm guessing the way is to go back to stock image and then re-root and re-flash custom recovery and ROM. but even for this, it should be detected by the PC and adb command and rootkit right? Is there something I'm overlooking here?
This is the ROM I tried
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/fake-nexus-rom-nexus-4-t3230268
The way to install it is also mentioned there and that is exactly what I did.

Did you try this adb installer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
In that thread, I read the people are able to use adb on Windows 10. If that doesn't work, find a Windows 7 PC or boot to ubuntu using bootable pendrive and flash the factory images using fastboot.

I read many users complaining about that. You can try that installer; as I mentioned - users have reported that they were able to use adb on Windows 10 after installing adb using that installer. If that doesn't work try the second suggestion (Ubuntu/ Linux)

i tried the installer but it made no difference. i tried it my win 7 partition as well but it didnt show up in the device manager.. i think usb debugging must have been disabled with my new rom flash. but even then i dont get why it wont show up as anything in devman...
any command i try ends with waiting for device and since i cant find the device in devman I cant even update the driver manually. I guess I could give linux a shot

Hey I finally figured out the problem. Its unbelievable. The usb port of the device was slightly bent in such a way that every cable I tried never really connected with the phone. I twisted it up a little and now its being detected as fastboot. The drivers you provided work like a charm now. Thanks for all the help !

It seems I have the same prob, as my N4 too doesn't get detected. But my ph can charge with USB when I connect to PC.
