How do you open a command window in windows XP. I've tried the shift right click on the tools folders without any success, any suggestions?
thanks,
Start, run, then type cmd
I am new to fast boot.
To unlock my bootloader I have downloaded all drivers and software.
After connecting phone in fastboot mode (pluging cable holding menu button).
when I click shift+right click I dont find command prompt.
I am on Win XP sp2 32bit
I did cross check in flash tools, It says phone is connected in fast boot.
please help...
All drivers are installed.
This problem comes from using winxp, you should take other devices which are using win7 to unlock bootloader if you have no idea with msdos

I have had the same problem but not easy to explain that, so finding a win7 device is the best solution for newbies like you

okie!
will do it with win 7
That's not necessary at all.
In winxp, just the hit windows button + R at the same time, type cmd, and use the command "cd" to "change directory".
"Cd.." Means going a folder up, if you type "cd C:/my folder" you will go to your specified folder. So cd to your folder containing Fastboot, and then type fastboot.exe. You will enter fastboot this way.
let me hear if you succeeded or need more help

It's important to run ADB and other commands from a CMD prompt with Administrator privileges. Here is a link to a tutorial on creating such a link on your desktop for Windows 7.
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3718-elevated-command-prompt-shortcut.html
After you have the CMD link on your desktop, you can right-click and change the properties if you so choose. For mine, I changed the "Start In" box to:
"C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" without the quotes.
When you double click on the link on your desktop, you will be taken to a CMD prompt in the Tools folder with Administrator privileges.
Thanked because good info is good info. Seems a lot of people still don't realise its important to run it as administrator.

Hi, I have just started to modify its arc up from the start I have a big problem. I am running Windows 8, and when I want to launch fastboot.exe or the Android SDK command prompt window closes immediately, I have installed the USB drivers but with this I can not help, maybe someone knows what can I do?
Did you right click the folder and press shift at the same time? This will show a menu with the option "open command window here". Select that and you will go to cmd within fastboot directory.
This exe file is not meant to be executed as a normal program, it takes commands from cmd so you will also need to know a bit about console application and the commands.

The Hero SP-001 is a free Lifeline phone from Access Wireless made by Shenzhen Eternity Technology Co., Ltd.
You must Unlock the phone before Rooting it. The Steps for both are provided below.
[Unlock Phone]
****Be aware that you will lose all user data when you unlock bootloader***
1) Unlock Developer options
2) Enable OEM unlocking from Dev options
3) Enable Android Debugging from Dev options.
4) Connect phone to computer
5) From command line type 'adb devices'
6) From command line type 'adb reboot fastboot'
7) From command line type 'fastboot devices'
8) From command line type 'fastboot flashing unlock'
9) Press the volume up button to accept unlocking warning
10) From command line type 'fastboot reboot'
You will see a warning saying it is unlocked everytime you reboot phone.
**EDIT** You can use the RE Live Distro mentioned below to do the above commands if you dont want to fuss with installing adbd on your computer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Root+Magisk]
If your'e on Windows you will have to download and install python and git and MTKClient and UsbDK 64 and abdb. I'm not going to get into how to do all that because there is an Ubuntu image tailored made for all MTK based devices. It has all the programs installed. it is called RE Live made by viperbjk . I recommend doing it this way especially if you have any other devices using MTK chips.
Download Re Live DVD V3. The account credentials are Username: user Password: user
You can create the bootable usb thumb drive with Rufus if you're using windows.
The following steps are based on using the Re Live DVD:
***Your phone must be unlocked before you can root it. *****
1) Power off the phone and do not have it connected to the computer.
2) Boot up RE Live and type 'user' at the login screen.
3) Double-click the 'MTK' icon on the desktop.
4) Plug the USB cable into the computer. Do not plug it into the phone.
5) In the terminal type: python mtk r boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img
6) When you see "Preloader - Status: waiting for PreLoader VCOM, please connect mobile" in the terminal you will hold the down volume button and plug the cable into the phone. Let go of the button a second or two after you connect phone. It will show you a progress bar as it downloads the 2 images you need.
7) Unplug the phone and power it on.
8) from that same terminal screen type: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/v...9e22fa276698f6c03bc1168df2c10/app-release.apk
or use the shortened url if you dont want to type all that: wget https://tinyurl.com/magiskmtk
9) plug the phone and type in the terminal: adb install release-apk [ look at the phone and accept auth rsa request on mobile screen so it can install the app.]
10) in the terminal type: adb push boot.img /sdcard/Download
11) Start magisk, tap on Install, select boot.img from /sdcard/Download.
12) in the terminal type: adb shell ls /sdcard/Download [You should see the boot.img file and another file name 'magisk_patched.something.something.img']
13) in the terminal type: adb shell mv [name of the patched file] boot.patched
14) in the terminal type: adb pull /sdcard/Download/boot.patched
15) Unplug the phone and turn it off (keep the usb plugged into the computer)
16) in the terminal type: python mtk w boot,vbmeta boot.patched,vbmeta.img.empty
17) When you see "Preloader - Satus: waiting..." hold the volume down button and connect the phone. release button when u see it connect and let it do its thing.
18) Unplug phone and power it on. Phone will now be rooted.
