hi, just one nooby question. where are the adb.exe and the fastboot exe folders?

Hi Mate, It's not noobie at all.
You need to download the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) from this Link :http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Ticket the platform-tools you don't need the rest
Or you can have the easy way and Download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Or maybe you don't know where are the specific folder in which case go to where you installed it. mine is at C:\Users\Sahar\platform-tools
And on the way download the LG G3 drivers from LG download center or from this link: http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425

thanks amigo! I'll check it out.

@SaharLevi
Here's the fix Quick and easy
need to have fastboot, I used ubuntu can install with sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
info on fastboot
[TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer
also need recovery.img, I used the lastest twrp
In terminal
fastboot boot recovery.img
this will boot your phone with the img on your computer.
in recovery restore or install a good boot or kernel.
your phone should be good to go after that.
I had my phone fixed in about 5 min, I really should not play around with boot partition.
Also should be able to flash boot if you have a good one,
fastboot flash boot boot.img

if you have fastboot mode you probably already erased the laf partition and you can't erase what you don't have. just continue

I have a weird problem, i'm in fastboot, and my laptop sees the phone, but none of the fastboot commands work. They get echoed on the screen and appear to be working but they don't do anything. I've tried flashing, rebooting... pretty much everything, and nothing happens.

I'm assuming you meant just fastboot, adb fastboot just prints out help.
It says:
Code:

sending 'recovery' (11496 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.362s]
writing 'recovery'...
and on the phone it says [7164300] fastboot: flash:recovery
But nothing happens. It's as if fastboot is broken.

[Q] Stuck in HTC logo, no power

Hi guys,
I am stuck REALLY stuck. I have or now had a rooted htc one x. I tried to flash a rom but this kept on stucking on the logo (carbon logo, cause it was a Carbon rom). When I saw this I got confused so I deleted everything from recovery mode. EVERYTHING the rom and what was on the sd card. Now when i try to turn oi on it is stuck on the htc logo (the first one that appears). I presume its doing so cause it is finding no rom to load. My other problem is the power. The battery got drained and I cannot even see my SD card on the pc ! I found somewhere that in recovery mode i could go to advanced and to side load but i cannot even see this side load option. PLEASSSSE help me I am really desperate!!
When you're in recovery, connect to your PC and mount your sdcard, in twrp it's advanced/mount. The card should then show up on your PC, put the rom zip on your card and let the phone charge for a while. Use fastboot to erase cache then flash the rom.

Try the original cable together with a 2.0 usb port,
if it still doesnt work flash another recovery like philz touch when you have enough juice

Extract the boot.img file from the rom, place it in the same location as your adb set up. Reboot to fastboot mode, connect to PC, open cmd window at same location as abd and type:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot.

cache erase but getting cannot open boot.img!!!!!!!!!
Don't open it. Just extract it to your adb folder, and flash it via fastboot. If it's not called boot.img then either use fastboot flash boot (bootname).img or rename it to boot.img. Plus if you've erased the system you'll need to flash the rom again via recovery.

i am typing "C:\android\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash boot boot.img" is it good? cause its replying cannot open boot.img and the file i extracted is called boot.img. I cant understand were i am wrong. Perhaps cause the battery is still very low?
The extracted boot.img should be in the sdk folder, for example mine is C:\Users\Sinclair\Downloads\adb_fastboot_and_other_tools\adb_fastboot_and_other_tools\Android. Open the folder, shift+right click and choose 'open command window here'. Try 'fastboot devices' to ensure it's been detected, if so it should work. Possibly a bad download.

please you are my only hope before i throw this device in the rubbish can. could you send me a detailed step by step proceedure of what to do cause I am completely lost. the files i need to down load where to put themand commands i should write down in command mode. I am completely noob on this and all these words you all use.If you cant and i completly understand could you recomend wewre i can post my problem for more veterans to see or perhaps there is somewhere where i can ship my device and get it fixed at a cost of course.
THANKS
You put literally the boot.img file in that state in the Fastboot.exe folder on the pc. So it goes into the platform tools folder !
Then you put the phone in the bootloader where you see "Fastboot usb" in red text
Then you point with the mouse inside the platform tools folder and hold down shift and click the right button and select "open command window here"
Then you type the command in that window
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
By your reply I'm presuming you don't have a full adb/fastboot setup. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269,
and follow the instructions.

Hi there
Thanks for your interest in helping me out. After i do this right click thing i go to the black window and give these commands as they are no previous path like c:\ etc etc before the commands you gave me? Cause the funny thing i did the erase cache thing and it did it but this boot boot.img isnt doing it. And bdw i redownloaded another rom, copied it to the file tools and extracted it there. In it there was a boot.img file. Did i do the right thing?
Thanks again
When you open the cmd window by right click in a folder then all commands you enter are for that folder path, so it's fastboot flash boot xxx.img(replace xxx with the boot name), and it's only the boot.img for your rom you need extracted to the folder.
I think you are confusing yourself. Just stay calm and read carefully ! It's not rocket science. Open the rom.zip with 7Zip and just drag out the boot.img file to the exact same folder as where your fastboot.exe file is located. Open the command window there and type the commands.
The command fail cannot open is only because the file is just not there !

How to restore Download Mode if all you have is Fastboot

This is for the people [myself earlier] who cannot boot into Android (bootloop or worse), have no download mode, no recovery and can only boot into Fastboot. Download the file below, I have included fastboot (for windows) and the appropriate files to flash, all you have to do is run the commands in order below, then boot into download mode.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
It is best to use the CMD.exe file in the folder provided so you will already be running the commands from that folder without having to change directories. If you're on Linux then make sure you have Fastboot installed then run Terminal from the folder and run the same commands. This will restore the STOCK download mode and recovery partitions not TWRP or CWM.

How would one go about repairing a broken download mode when all I can do is boot into a broken recovery? I cannot issue any fastboot commands as the device is only recognized as an ADB Bridge device. Are there ADB equivalent commands to accomplish the same things as you have detailed here?

well you should never install any OTA with a custom recovery install. you should always keep at least one backup on your phone to restore to in these events. but i would try downloading a rom and installing via sideload before nuking any partitions. which is easy with TWRP. the sideload menu should be in Advanced then ADB Sideload and the command is adb sideload filename.zip and it will take awhile depending on the file size. make sure the file name is simple and it is placed in the folder you are running the sideload from.

Yes yes I know... it was a moment of weakness late at night and I didn't think before telling the girl to go ahead and upgrade. That being said... Part of the problem now is that the one backup she made just up and disappeared. The ADB sideload option just hangs and never actually does anything. The original Stock Rooted file I had still on the sd partition doesn't fix the issue when I flash it... it looks like it flashes ok but on the next boot it just drops me back into TWRP right where I began. And download mode is still borked.
So let's talk thermonuclear resolution on this motherlover.... where do I begin?

i would try to rename your rom to something simple, like rom.zip. there cannot be any spaces in the name and it does need to be in the same folder you run the command from like you seem to be doing.

did you try vol+ and power together? When a functioning rom is installed it asks to do a factory reset but it may get into fastboot if you nuked that partition. i haven't tried this yet but if you're in adb sideload in twrp maybe the command
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
might help

I'm screwed. I gave this a try and now all I get is a black screen. The phone will connect to my computer but I can't send any commands to it through the command prompt. When it connects to the computer it opens a bunch of different drives and says I need to format them. I can't get into download mode and when I try to send a command in the prompt it just says waiting for device. Any ideas?

I'm not sure if you can help me here. I have a Verizon G2 and am trying to reset to factory for a repair. I am trying to get into download mode, but only get fastboot when pressing volume up while powered off and plugging in my USB cord. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fast boot mode started, can't go to download mode

Hi Everyone
Sorry for my not so good English.
I have problem with my G3 and maybe someone can help? I instal root without problem, than I try to install Twrp recovery and after that I have that message ( [780] fast boot mode started) all the time, I try to do hard reset, click yes twice, but getting the same message, Is there any chance to unbrick that device when I can't go even to download mode?
Thank You very much for any suggestions
help!
help my G3 died the same thing happened!
same to me...
What model(s)? Youll need a pc, adb/fastboot, stock laf.img and boot.img for your device. Youll use adb commands to erase these img files and restore them with the new ones. Once you have adb running and recognizing your device with both files in same folder as adb you'll type adb erase laf [Enter] then adb flash laf laf.img [Enter] do the same steps for the boot.img. Next type adb reboot [Enter] you'll still be in fastboot but just pull the battery. Then replace battery and you should be able to enter download mode by inserting the usb and pressing vol +(i believe, it's been a while) and then kdz flash..

Ok well I'll meet you in the middle. Heres the link to the d855 partion files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766437. I believe you'll need the second link in the ops first post. As far as adb.. If you dont know how to use it or get the files, Google should be able to help you.

I can see a different screen for a split of a second but it's going back to Fastboot mode...
@SaharLevi
Here's the fix Quick and easy
need to have fastboot, I used ubuntu can install with sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
info on fastboot
[TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer
also need recovery.img, I used the lastest twrp
In terminal
fastboot boot recovery.img
this will boot your phone with the img on your computer.
in recovery restore or install a good boot or kernel.
your phone should be good to go after that.
I had my phone fixed in about 5 min, I really should not play around with boot partition.
Also should be able to flash boot if you have a good one,
fastboot flash boot boot.img

my zen faild google verification to boot up

hey
when my phone boots shows that my device is not verified by google , what to do?

you might have unlocked bootloader with unofficial method. nothing to worry about its just a warning devices are far more insecure. if you are worried about privacy things. believe there is nothing like secure when using digital devices. and there is not even single service provider which do not collect data. hence enjoy your unlocked device and play around

the last working firmware. whichever was installed last time. (assume you were on latest MM ww4.21.40.233... extract it and get the files (boot.img, recovery.img, droidboot.img, splashscreen.img) in the same firmware there will be ifwi.zip extract that too and get the files (bom token, dnx , ifwi)... now copy the extracted files to adb fastboot tool folder. and then in same folder move cursor to and empty place and hold shift and right click on mouse. you will get option open command windows here.
now reboot your phone in fastboot mode and connect to PC.. now run the following commands
fastboot devices ( to see if device is recognized by pc and fastboot tool)
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot flash token " bom token file name" (without commas )
fastboot flash dnx "dnx file name"

fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase recovery

before this problem happen i upgraded boorloader to MM then flash TWRP and installed MM ROM so now it has MM Custom ROM.

as you already downloaded that rom.. and also the recovery needed for that rom..
first of all same as earlier flash MM bootloader. ther reboot bootloader once then flash twrp. the exactly mentioned in the RBR rom thread. then go to advanced in twrp and click adb sidelaod. tick wipe dalvik cache and cache. swipe to sideload ... now run command adb sideload "rom file name"
if bootloops after flashing firmware. do a factory reset and reboot. going to sleep now 1.15 AM here. will answer tomorrow if any other question

1. Flash the boot.img
2. Or flash FB ROM from here:

i tried to flash this by command fastboot flash boot filename.zip

You cannot flash .zip file. Command shoulf be:
fastboot flash boot boot.img (in case the boot.img file is located in the same folder as fastboot.exe).
Do not forget to flash it to the right slot A/B, where your system is currently located.

You don't have to flash it like that.
1. Extract the zip.
2. Open the extracted folder.
3. Put your phone in bootloader (fastboot mode).
4. Double click on 'flash_ALL.bat' file.
Flashing will start.

No. It's an FB ROM, you don't have to select any partition. It will do everything on its own.
Ok, I thought you are flashing only boot... Anyway, hamzain just replied you correctly.
