Sorry To make a new thread, but I've been searching for some good instructions on how to flash a radio through fastboot. I know you can flash it through recovery but I'm hearing its safer to use fastboot.
All I need is a link with some instructions.
Thank you.

Do you know generally how to use Fastboot?
If you don't, you should probably start reading a bit more before using it...

Here's a good guide for setting up and using adb; mostly applicable to fastboot as well. There are others as well.
Can't recall if fastboot is included in the attached file, but the principles are there, and search the Development forum for "drivers".

The full Android SDK can be DL'd as well: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

thank you I have the adb drivers set up for my phone if thats what you mean. Just dont know more then that
ok I set up adb.. It was different than what I thought you were talking about.
If you have everything set up; boot in to bootloader, connect USB, and then use command in cmd.
Edit: but like someone said: if you don't fully understand, read more about it. Don't do something you're unsure of.

download the radio you want
extract it or put the .img into your adb folder
open cmd (use the shortcut you created from the other post on setting up adb)
type this into the command line:
Code:
fastboot flash radio "name-of-radio".img

the easiest way to set it up is download the tools in the dev forum. then use the guide with the pics to make the shortcut.

when in command prompt you have to first navigate to your fastboot folder, my fastboot folder is in my android sdk folder so i would type
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\fastboot
then use
Code:
fastboot flash radio "name-of-radio".img
also your phone needs to be in the bootloader screen for fastboot to work. you can get to the boot screen by holding both volume buttons with the power button when the phone is off
thanks guys
I kept trying to flash a bad img. The OP from that thread posted a working one but not until the 3rd page. Got real frustrated lol.
anyway... im getting 2 solid bars of hspa inside. Used to alternate between 1 and 0.

he would only need to navigate it if he used the old sdk way of setting adb up. if he used the link in the previous posts to create a custom shortcut, he wouldn't need to navigate.
also remember that your phone has to be booted into bootloader first. and after flashing, you need to fastboot reboot.

uh oh.. didnt do that. can something happen?

I just bought a Galaxy Nexus but it was from Hong Kong and had non Yakju firmware on it. I want to install Yakju 4.0.2. I'm on a mac and oem unlocked my Nexus. I have downloaded the firmware from Google for 4.0.2 but now I need help actually installing it. If anyone could write me up a quick step by step guide I'd appreciate it, or link me to one. I'm on a Mac btw.
When I type in "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img" into the command prompt it says command not found.

Wondering same thing....
Extract the archive, locate the .sh script, check the directives it contains, run them manually, or use the script.
Alternatively, do what most of us around here have to do, search. It's been covered already a number of times how to convert to Yakju as well as how to use fastboot on mac.
Edit, for the lazy, in the development section, one of the stickies have a link to this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806
if you're on a mac, you need to add "./" before the commands in terminal
instead of "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img", type in
./fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
keep in mind your phone should be in fastboot mode when you do this (power off, then hold vol up + vol down + power"

I used Team win Recovery Project to wipe my phone Galaxy Nexus, and now when I plug the phone in to the lappy it doesn't show the sd card. Freaking out here cause I can't copy over a zip file to flash a ROM... please help...
The GNEX doesn't have an actual sdcard, so when you wiped the phone i'm guessing you wiped the virtual sd card.
You will have to adb push a rom to your phone.
One the top of the first Q&A page jubakuba has a guide that has a panic section in it.
The guide also shows how to install adb/fastboot and gives you the commands.
try flash the stock img via fastboot using the following line to avoid wiping ur sdcard
fastboot update ***.zip
then wipe data via CWM and enjoy

ok, following your instructions, and the instructions of the link, I have install ADB and can use cmd, however when I type adb shell, I get an error returning "device not found"
I see a lot of threads stating to make sure usb debugging is on, it was before I wiped the phone, but obviously I cant get to any settings at the moment.
on the verge of crying now, and noone likes to see a grown man cry
FIXED
I ran the push command whilst in recovery and it worked
not sure that it mattered, but I did change the zip file name to ROM.zip, and whilst in recovery, ran the comand "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip
Just thought I would put that in there for other dopes like me that might come across this problem
Thanks to all for your help!
LOL
Normally if you can't see your device listed you haven't installed the drivers correctly.(or the correct drivers)
Also you have to open a command prompt window in the same folder as fastboot.exe and adb.exe
To do this in Windows 7:
Click the windows start button (bottom left hand corner)
In the search bar at the bottom type: cmd
At the top of the search list you will see the program cmd.exe right click and copy it.
Paste it into the same folder that has fastboot.exe and adb.exe
Now you can open the cmd window and type the command:
adb devices
Hit ENTER and if you have installed drivers correctly, the serial number of your phone will be listed.
If not, uninstall the drivers, download a new set of drivers from jubakuba or efrants guide and reinstall.

didn't need to change the name of the rom zip. Just needed to type the full name of the .zip file.
Good to see it worked, and the tears have stopped
I wrote this guide a while back after fixing a friends phone, it has worked on others too so i decided id post it here for anyone that ran into this issue later down the road and did not want to run a ruu. This also works great if you want to start fresh before flashing roms.
Basically all this does it swap out recovery's and clean the SD, give it a fresh start.
You can find the full guide & Video here http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/showthread.php/1050
This involves unnecessarily deleting the contents of the internal sdcard.
The following method works 99% of the time, albeit in linux only:
1: reboot into recovery & do a mount usb storage (no mount sdcard)
this will just present your internal storage as a mass storage device to the system
2: do a
fsck.vfat /dev/sdX or /dev/ubX (whatever it gets detected as) - you can find out via (dmesg|tail)
Analogically, you can fix your data partition if it got corrupted.
You need to do it from recovery since not all roms have the fsck binaries available:
from recovery (copy - paste, unless you know what you're doing):
umount /cache
for x in {2,3,5}, do fsck.ext4 -fyD /dev/block/mmcblk0p1$x;sync;done;clear;echo done

I can put the zip in there even if i remove the USB cable without unmounting and then plug the USB cable again i see the file inside the phone just fine, the problem is when I unmount to get back into TWRP recovery to install a zip then it doesn't show up. Very weird not sure what is going on, but from what i hear it's a corrupted SD CARD. I found a thread, that teaches you how to fix this, but the link is now broken.

this is not working for me instead of just displays all the commands that adb can do.
I have gone and go to advanced>adb sideload in twrp supported version
on my computer i have a folder called c:\fastboot with the adb software and it's the version that supports adb side load according to the instructions so i have met all the requirements. However when i run the command
adb sideload cm.zip
as i am already in the c:\fastboot folder via command prompt all i get is a display of all the commands i can use with adb as if i just typed "adb" and it displays all the commands.
I also tried typing

this did not work either same result. FYI cm.zip is the name of the rom file.

You must have fastboot.exe and the 2 dlls at the same directori, where you are at the moment at console (e.g. you wrote c:\fatsboot, so you need to have fastboot.exe and the 2 dlls at c:\ root to run them.)
I recommend to run fastboot and/or adb from a subdirectory from root, e.g. c:\htc\

First, do not place files in the root (system could have some restrictions to run files from here). Place them in any folder and run from there (e.g. c:\fb\fastboot.exe)
Second, usualy you must be in the folder where the running file is. So do this:
cd c:\fb
fastboot ...

Btw, are you really sure you want to take the risk with unlocking/rooting/flashing? If you are not quite familiar with a simple computer tasks there is a big chance you will go wrong and the phone will become unuseful. Unless you have many of them and just playing around. =)

What exactly the command prompt says?
You have to start your phone in the fastboot mode to accept external commands. So I guess the command prompt is waiting until the phone will get to that mode.

In command prompt with your phone connected, and USB debugging turned on in your developer options, and in the folder with your boot.img (you'll need to rename the hellboy kernel file to just boot.img)
type
<adb devices>
you should see a reply showing your phones ID if you get this go for
<adb reboot bootloader>
wait for the phone to reboot to your white bootloader screen then go for
<fastboot flash boot boot.img>
then once the kernel is in
<fastboot reboot>
Again I strongly recommend using an AIO program to make sure you haven't missed a step. Its great to learn all the ways to work with your phone, but its primary use is a phone, if it breaks it won't be able to do that.

Doesn't look like you are running fastboot from the folder that contains fastboot.exe

So where should I put fastboot.exe I'm coming from Sammy so a bit new to this
You can put it in c:\users\sophie\ if you like but its worth keeping handy
so move all the files (adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll and fastboot.exe) to say c:\android
Then from command prompt type
cd c:\android
fastboot
you also need to have your phone in fastboot mode of course
Its a little different than Samsung, but much easier

This has nothing to do with OEM, this is basic WIndows functionality. Fastboot.exe is located in the same place as adb.exe, you have to navigate there first. But you can stop wasting your time if you got a Verizon phone, you can't unlock the bootloader with htcdev.

Well they are a UK user on EE so I doubt they got a Verizon device.
I hope we see a Verizon solution soon.

thanks bud got it at last
now cant install custom recovery lol
For Verizon:
Does anyone know if we can edit CID to 11111111 without s-off?
That should spoof the htcdev system into letting us unlock.
