Hi, I' m following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK to install this thing to unlock the bootloader of my girlfriend's phone. But I'm stopped at the point 24 because with XP I can't find that inf file! So, when I do fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version I read ''waiting for device''. It's 2 days I'm trying to do this, help me, I'm really desperate

And in sk15 do you know where is ground?
To get this .inf file, you need to open Android SDK Manager from Start Menu and then download proper files, which mostly are automatically chosen.

mmmm so you are in fastboot mode?? (blue notification led on turned off phone connected to the pc)
if you are then you should try flashtool, you don't need to be rooted you just have to install it along with the drivers you will found on the drivers folder on the flashtool folder, start it, connect the phone on fastboot mode, select flash then fastboot mode, select flash kernel browse to the boot.img file and it should do the job.
Thanks, I've done everything by flashing rage kernel
The boot.img file has to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe file. Else it cannot find it and you would have to enter address manually.
Just make sure the boot.img file is in the same folder as fastboot.exe.

Flash process finished without kernel. You didn't do something stupid like tick exclude kernel, right?
Shutdown flashtool and disconnect your phone, and do the process again.
And may I ask you, since you already followed tutorial, why not asking in it, instead of creating new thread?

I Faced The Same problem many times. do this what i did - when it ask to connect in flash mode, hold down back key then connect via usb. wait for flashtool saying "the flashing started"(or A Sound Of PC that some usb thing is connected), now release the back button. if this process not working try it 2-4 times again. it'll work!
flashing kernel

in cmd write these commands
cd/
cd androidsdk/tools
fastboot flash boot (type kernel name.img without brackets)
So its done / if you want know how to get and use fastboot , you can ask i will tell
Hello,
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my kindle fire Apollo, i'm using this tutorial Link., i'm getting most of it, but this i just dont understand:
download the attachment on the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2&postcount=46
Then place the file inside the attachement to C:\Python27 should be C:\Python\cuberHDX.py

I've just put the cuberHDX file in my python27 directory, and tried following everything else. I think most of it worked, i've gotten a .unlock file, but when i try to flash it to my device it just says <waiting for device>.
I hope you guys can help me out here...:angel:

Try these drivers. Might require reboot and/or dis- and re-connection of the HDX. Worked for me right away though.

THANK YOU!
This is a giant leap forward, now my device actually shows up in fastboot. But when i try to flash the .unlock file it says:

any idea's?
btw my kindle says: "getvarartition-type:unlock...Ok."
You must change dir (cd) to your ADB Directory, enter cd\adb and then the fastboot command.
Alternatively you can try to add the path of your ADB Directory to the .unlock file, e.g. c:\adb\0x155.....unlock.

You Sir are amazing!
Now i'm going to have to install some sort of recovery... i was thinking of using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...ecovery-twrp-recovery-2-8-1-0-apollo-t2991155, are there any alternatives or better options?
TWRP is the best you can get for the HDX.

You can only install a recovery that has been customized for your device type (HDX Apollo or Thor). Any other will either leave you with a non-functioning recovery (best case) or a useless brick (more likely). Word to the wise: don't deviate from the script when messing with an HDX. Hard to tame and nearly impossible to recover. Standard bag of 'android' recovery tricks (eg: factory cables, fastboot, etc) won't work with this device.
Just as the title says, I get this error when I flash cm13 Roms. I don't know if it is a bug with twrp or something actually wrong with my device. The only rom that I can flash is cypher for reason.

Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot, unzip to Desktop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Reboot Moto E into bootloader mode, connect to PC.
Open a command prompt to the unzipped Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
Type (I'm assuming you're on Boost, given your forum carrier avatar): fastboot oem config fsg-id boost
Should only take a second to config, then disconnect and reboot the phone back into the bootloader, then go to recovery and try flashing CM13 again.

Have similar issue on Xiaomi Mi5. Not familiar with the command you're talking about but wonder if it would work there... can you explain what this minimal fastboot deal is? The only other solution I've found is delete the code that prevents flashing a rom for a diff device & hardbricking... which I don't wanna risk. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Can you post a screenshot of the error so I'll know exactly which one you're getting? I don't want to give you the wrong information.

Well, I'm afraid not, but for the happy reason that it was fixed by flashing yet another ROM and checking all the options in TWRP manager to backup & wipe before flashing. Not sure if it was that I found the right ROM (screenshotted below) finally or that I should've been wiping while flashing in a single step like that (also screenshotted)

Hey,
I want to install a costum rom to get a free of bloatware system, but I have problems with rooting my device and installing TWRP. I tried some tutorials today, but none worked for the same reason. For example this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-t3421932 I have a e2303 so I downloaded the e2303 file and went into the adb folder opened cmd connected my phone with pc while I pressed volume down. after that I copy pasted the command "fastboot devices" but it didn't show me any phone, so I went to the next step and copy pasted the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" , but cmd only said <waiting devices>, so I did that what a different guide said (connecting the phone with volume up), but even that didn't worked. I installed adb with adb setup 1.4.3 and answered every question with "y".
I unlocked the bootloader with Flashtool, and it worked. I even relocked and unlocked the phone again.
My phone is a E2303 with build number 26.3.A.1.33 on android 6.0.1, which should be marshmallow.
That is the adb folder where I tried it:

yeah, I used that tool but the phone didn't use the drivers automatically. which rom has the fewest bugs and no bloatware and is optimized?

No one. But you can install stock, root it, install one of the bloatware-deleting scripts (I can provide you one), install SMK and then it'll be fine )))

TWRP didn't flash to slot b, and like an idiot I thought, "well let's just do a and see if that works..."
It didn't work, and now only getting a blinking red light when connected to power and computer. No amount of trying to go in to fastboot, bootloader, recovery works. Newflasher, XperiaCompanion, and Emma are not showing anything.

Where did you have the twrp file saved? I personally save any file I flash to my phone in the same directory as Platform Tools/ADB Fastboot install...that way I don't have to add the path location to the terminal command line.
