Default fastboot flash problem
First question is your bootloader unlocked!!
If yes try flashing like below
How to fastboot a kernel
(1) Download kernel .boot img place in folder Windows/Flashtool/Firmware
View attachment 1787067
(2) Press lightening bolt
(3) Select Fastboot mode
(4) Connect phone in Fastboot mode (Hold Menu Button ) then connect your phone to pc
(5) Choose select kernel to flash in Fastboot on pc
(6) Wait -until finished 10 seconds tops
(7) Done! switch phone on boot to cwm wait for vibrate/blue light press down/up/or back button depending on kernel or age of phone
Also try booting into fasboot manually as above (step 4)
Also if the fxp kernel not working try another compatible kernel there is plenty in the forum

First question is your bootloader unlocked!!

He is using CM10 based ROM so I think his bootloader must be unlocked.
To OP: You can try to flash a kernel with a fastboot and CMD like a real man ; D. Google how to use fastboot.

Lol I knew that But believe me I have seen people try to flash cm based rom's/kernels with locked bootloaders that's why I never presume it is unlocked unless they have stated it in the post that it is unlocked :good:

My phone is "bootloader unlocked".
And I tried to flash at command line, but it didn't finished.

The correct command is fastboot flash boot kernelname.img See the link in my sig for more help.

Yes, I did "fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img".

Try again without an .exe extension. Just type fastboot flash boot kernel.img

After command "fastboot flash boot kernelname.img", command line shows;
sending 'boot' <6430 KB>....

That's how it's supposed to be. Show us the rest of CMD content after typing that command.

Can you get into fastboot? You get there by pressing and holding first back and then power button.
as i said before, it shows only the image above on every key combo
turn it off, plug it in via usb, hold back and power
if you know where your fastboot.exe is then cd into the path in cmd.
if you don't then unzip my attachment and put it in your c:\ and type these commands
Code:
cd\
fastboot devices
if it gives back a serial then it is not bricked and you can flash a RUU
It will likely not give a signal back on fastboot devices, as it isn't in fastboot, but it wouldn't do that in hboot mode either so you can't use that info for anything.
I've seen a couble of these, and you should still be able to flash a ruu. If it's a gsm desire(you should have a sim-card), download and run the following ruu while it's connected: http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152(the ruu is the .exe file inside the .rar)

FYI, when it's in that state it is booted in RUU mode, which is pretty much the same as fastboot.
if you don't believe me, plug your phone in while booted into a rom and type
Code:
adb reboot oem-78
fastboot devices
fastboot getvar boot-mode

well, congratulations on following bad advice which has got you in an even worse situation... Nothing much you can do. You're S-ON, and you have an un-overwritable RUU (unless a newer one comes out). Can try to flash it again but whether that works is anyone's guess.
Why it doesn't boot now? What's wrong

Good question.. that could be anyone's guess!

[Q] one x doesnt recognize usb in fastboot mode.

Hello,
ive been trying to change rom (not the first time),
and while in fastboot mode
any trying to burn boot.img, but in order to do that I must open the usb thruogh fastboot mode,
and my phone say it cant open the USB.
is it a problem with the sense 5?
ive downloaded again the htc sync manager.
and I can load the usb from the when the phone is on.
how can I fix it?
thanks for reading!
Download and unzip the attachement.
Open a command prompt to that folder.
Connect your device
Set it in fastboot mode
Type "fastboot devices"
Tell me what you see.
Actually sounds like you are referring to "failed to open usb master mode" and if that is the case it is simply because you have the cable plugged in when you are switching between hboot and fastboot. each time you want to switch, pull out the cable then reconnect when you have changed modes

Your device is recognized by fastboot, so you can flash a boot.img, the command is:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Make sure you have copied the boot.img to the fastboot folder on your PC.
You cannot see your device in windows explorer when you are in fastboot.
Edit: You can in recovery when you mount your storage.

This is my command prompt screen and the screen that popped up when i tried to download correct stock file via Neuxs Root Toolkit
Ive just tried to flash image separately using the tool in Nexus Root Toolkit and ive had this hanging now for over 30mins
Been really trying to sort this out myself and ive now come across this
Notice when it did work.... how long it was sending the image for??? 5888 seconds??
Is the zip file corrupt?? Ive downloaded it from the actual proper google system image site...
My device is a Nexus 7 (2012) Wifi only
Android 4.4.2
KOT49H
Im sorry for being a pain..... just its my daughters tablet and i feel awful, its my fault its in this state.
maybe try this?
I was having a similar problem because the computer wasnt finding where the bootloader file was saved on my machine (im no expert....i couldnt resist tinkering with my nexus)
I followed these instructions and they seemed to have helped, but obviously change the relevant sections in the flash-all file.
webmastersdiary.com/blog/how-to-unlock-a-bootloader-and-flash-a-factory-image-on-a-nexus-device
I'm using a mac and had to change the file called 'flash-all.sh' and add in these instructions so the computer could find out exactly where the files such as bootloader.img were. I used an editor called xcode to do it (which is alreadt saved on my computer:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot earse boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastbootflah bootloader /documents/development/adt-bundle-mac-x86_6420130514/sdk/platform-tools/bootloader-grouper-4.23.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 10
fastboo -w update /documents/development/adt-bundle-mac-x86_6420130514/sdk/platform-tools/image-nakasi-lrx21p.zip
as you can see i had to show exactly where the files were located before it would work.
PS make sure you have a working zip extractor...such as s winzip or something to that effect
Good luck.

d816w dual-sim wiped , cannot acces recovery

Hy guys,
my 16 years boy make a full wiped on devices.
the device is stuck in fastboot but cannot acces recovery and is not synchronized with my pc.
when i push hboot and select recovery is suddenly go back into fastboot
i try many different methods to flash recovery with adb devices but list attached is empty and the adb drivers are installed on device manager android usb devices ( My htc )
can somebody give my some advice with this ?
tnx in advance.
Regards
ADB fastboot folder (just extract it to C:\ and you're good to go)
- Connect your device and PC using usb data cable
Step 1
Flashing recovery (before relocking your bootloader)
- Download recovery.img
- Save it to C:\ADB folder
- Navigate to ADB folder and click on any free space while holding the shift Key
- Choose 'Open command window' here
- Once cmd is started use this command
Code:
fastboot devices
and check if your device is listed, then type
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
to reboot your device. It should start in fastboot mode. If it's not, shut down your phone and restart using power + volume down buttons, pressed at the same time. Once Hboot starts just navigate (using volume up or volume down buttons on your device) to Fastboot and press the power button. Make sure FASTBOOT USB is displayed under your specs.
- Enter
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
into the cmd window and press enter to flash your recovery.
- If it's successful go to step 2, if it's not try again.
Step 2
Relock Bootloader using Fastboot:
Now you need to relock the bootloader, otherwise the Stock RUU can't be installed.
- Copy command to the cmd window
Code:
fastboot oem lock
- Press enter
Your device should now be relocked.

Then just place your stock RUU on an sd card, start in bootloader and select Fastboot. Your device should pick the file up as an update and flash on its own.

Question Can i install android 12 gsi on my Samsung a52s 5g?

Hello good morning
I have been trying to install android 12 gsi on my a52s 5g via ADB for some time. I know that my phone already has the android 12 update but I would still like to try android 12 gsi.
I have already unlocked the bootloader and installed all the necessary drivers.
I have USB debugging and OEM mode enabled.
When I enter ADB and want to enter the command "fastboot reboot fastboot" I get the following message below the command: C:\ADB>fastboot reboot fastboot
< waiting for any device >
And when I try to enter fastboot through recovery, it restarts the phone. I have also tried with the "reboot recovery" command but still not successful.
Since then I have not been able to continue with the steps. I have already granted the usb debugging permissions and everything necessary so right now I don't know what to do.
Any solution to the problem????

Do you have a recovery with fastboot installed on your phone? I got into fastboot with: adb reboot fastboot (enter)

No, but already tried the "Adb Reboot Fastboot" command and yet the only thing it does is restart the phone

for it to work you need to have the recovery with fastboot in it. try pushing this to your phone with adb... but doso at your own risk, i accept no responsibilty if it causes a soft brick or anything else on your phone. it is the recovery that is on my phone though so should be alright. Make sure it is for the A52s 5G.
