ive installed a rom and it wont boot (FC's loop), i tried to enter recovery (-vol and power when phone is off) but it keeps trying to boot, ive flashed loads of roms and entered recovery a fair few times so i dont know why i cant do it now!
Do you have the Android SDK or any other adb tool installed on your PC? If you do, try plugging the phone in to the USB port on the PC and open a command prompt.
Type this:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Not sure if that will work if the phone doesn't boot into Android though. You might have to time it just right, to find a point when the phone responds to adb commands but before it reboots.
How far does the phone get before it reboots? Do you just get the splash screen, the bootanimation, or what exactly happens?
Actually, you might have more luck with using fastboot from a command prompt:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I can't for the life of me get past <waiting for device> with fastboot. Can I unlock the bootloader in any other way or is there an easier way to install Cyanogenmod with out command prompts?
When the device is not in fastboot mode adb can see it.
More info
adb reboot-bootloader does not put my phone in fastboot mode.
I can get into fastboot mode by pressing up volume while inserting USB.
when in fastboot mode, Window device manager says Sony USB mass storage.
fastboot devices returns nothing.
Thank you reading this.
you don't have the drivers installed

Drivers?
None of the guides said I need drivers. Where do you get there things?
download flashtool. install. go to my computer - flashtool and install the drivers for your phone, flash and fast boot

Hey. I was using a 5.0.1 GPE Rom on my M8 and decided to update both the firmware and the rom to 5.1
I Backed everything up and decided to, as usual, use adb to sideload the firmware to the phone. I did and everything went as expected. After I finished I rebooted to android. I get NFC service stopped working, System UI stopped working and I can't interact with the phone. My thought, well let's go to the recovery and flash a rom I have in my external SD card. No recovery to be found just a android guy belly up with a red ! sign on his belly.
So I thought, I lost my recovery due to the firmware flash, I had happened before, So i went online found a TWRP recovery and went to flash it. Reboot to fastboot USB mode, but then in adb I cannot see the device at all. "adb devices" shows and empty list. I tried my windows 7 laptop to the same result.
Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me, I'm kinda freaking out at this point and am running out of options

What a silly mistake
Recently installed cm11, woke up today to phone being unresponsive, try to reboot it and it enters fastboot mode. I searched hours to find a solution but cant seem to find any. Can someone help me out here?
I'm not sure why it went into fastboot mode how did you flash CM11?,
But try to get the phone in to recovery mode by holding the volume up button while powering up, If it works, sideload the update.bin file you want. If it doesn't ask here for the recovery image with your fire os version. Download that, boot the phone into fastboot mode, connect the phone to PC and install the drivers and type the normal way `fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img` or better yet `fastboot -i 0x1949 boot recovery.img` then sideload the update.bin file.
I'm trying to unlock boot loader on my device but, when I reboot into boot loader I don't get an option for "fast boot". The options I do get are to reboot, reboot in download mode, reboot in boot loader, reboot in recovery, and shut down. Any ideas or maybe any precursors I've missed?
fastboot (and adb) needs to be installed and running from your PC, you reboot in to the phones bootloader then from a command prompt or terminal on your pc you issue fastboot commands to your phone which is connected by USB.
No luck

C:\Users\Delprete>adb reboot downloader
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
is all I got. I downloaded and installed fastboot to the pc. The directions that I'm following from HTCDEV.com say to reboot into download mode and then load fastboot from the phone.
Use the adb and fastboot from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Make sure you have usb debugging and oem unlocking enabled in developer options of your phone.
Once in download mode send the fastboot commands from your pc
