[Q] How to flash recovery without USB debugging mode activated on a bricked Nexus S? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I had flashed the NexusXperia ROM on my Nexus S just recently. After trying it out I restored the stock ICS 4.0.4....
For some reason the phone keeps on showing the HD bootscreen continously without starting up....
I thought of clearing the dalvik and re-installing via restore however now that it's not got any recovery neither is it being detected on my pc....
I remember deactivating the USB debugging mode and probably this could be the reason it's not being detected....
Is there a way to flash recovery without debugging mode switched ON or is there a way to simply switch ON the USB debugging mode from bootloader screen....
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED ON THIS....
I have tried on windows 7 as well as on Ubuntu....but the device is not detected....thanks in advance.....

On the Nexus S, holding Volume Up while turning on the power will load the bootloader and from there you should be able to use fastboot to install a custom recovery using fastboot. You should not need USB debugging enabled for this to work.

Just keeps on waiting for the device....adb not able to detect the device too

The phone is in the bootloader mode and fastboot doesn't detect it? Sounds like it is completely broken then, your only option may be the UnBrickable Mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566475

Ok...i can see a "FASTBOOT MODE" written in red when i switch on using Vol+ & Power....
Which mode is it ? Fastboot or Download....?

Fastboot is the mode you need to be in for fastboot.exe to detect the phone. Put it into that mode and try to flash the recovery with fastboot.exe using the command you posted above.

I have HUAWEI P smart. I am searching for a firmware for flash my phone.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
sorry i didn't get you..
are you asking me to reinstall the drivers on PC?
Also i could able to detect the device in recovery mode. as you know couldn't able to flash in recover mode
Thanks
Yes I was referring to the pc drivers. And do you mean that your pc recognizes your phone when its in recovery mode ???
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes it recognizes in recovery but when i try to flash using fastboot.. it's just waiting for the device
Thanks
Did you put your device in fastboot mode then plug into your pc ?? Try this if you haven't already.
Power off your phone.
Then press and hold the volume up button.
Then tap/press the power button.
Keep the volume up button pressed untill you see a white screen. Thats your hboot screen. Then plug your phone into your pc. Or if your running a rom that has the option to boot into the bootloader you can do it that way. Or if your running twrp you can boot into the bootloader by selecting reboot from the menu then selecting bootloader. Then try and flash your boot.img

Redmi note 3 not getting detected in fastboot mod

Hey friends i was able to unlock bootloader of my REDMI NOTE 3 OFFICIALLY.
I wan to root the device and install TWRP but for tat i have to connect my phone in fastboot mode.
The thing is phone is recognised as an adb device when it is on but after putting the phone in fastboot mode my laptop is not showing in cmd after " fastboot devices" command
plz help if anyne know how to fix this.
How are you putting it in fastboot mode?
did you already install correct driver in your pc?
you can try to instal latest mi pc suite which will help you to instal correct driver for your phone.
If you're already success unlocking with official way..then it's mean your fastboot driver already correct (if you're using the same computer when you're unlocking before)
Maybe i think you're missed something to put your phone into fastboot mode..
First way you can go into fastboot mode with ADB command while your phone already ON, just typing command "adb reboot bootloader" then enter..your phone will reboot into fastboot mode
Second way to go into fastboot mode firstly you must turn off your phone..just wait until that phone is truely OFF..
then press and hold volume down button..then followed with pressing and hold power button..your phone will booting into fastboot mode.

Completely f****d my G-Watch

SO, tl;dr-- My LG G watch turns on, then enters into a point where it is stuck doing the swirling colors boot animation until the battery dies. If I boot into bootloader mode, I cannot do anything other than reboot bootloader or power off. Recovery does not work, when I try it gives me the android guy on his back and tapping the screen does nothing. The restore tool used to be able to interface with my device, but now it does not even show up under 'adb devices.' If anyone could tell me something I can do, it would be greatly appreciated.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Yes, I have an unlocked bootloader. When I turn the device on, it shows the little 'unlocked' symbol.
If you boot to bootloader mode can you run fastboot commands? If so, download one of the 6.0.1 roms from XDA and then follow the install instructions. If not....hmmm, not sure!

How do I do fastboot commands? I can boot to bootloader mode, and the restore tool talks with my watch and recognizes it as a device sometimes.
Via a USB cable connected to a computer and the fastboot tool installed on that computer. You also need the correct fastboot drivers for this.

Regards.
EDIT: reinstalled treble v3.1 via OST and it fixed the download mode issue.

in my xperience is connect your phone to the PC then open cmd ... make sure in folder of adb and fastboot .exe stored ...
type:
Code:
fastboot continue

Maybe use other fastboot.
Sometimes you must enter:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=_a reboot
("_a" instead of "a")
BTW. My Aquos sometimes stuck in download mode after installing AICP.
I fixed this by entering:
Code:
adb shell
bootctl mark-boot-successful
Hello, i have the same exact problem. I tried to use adb program to fix this problem, but my laptop couldn't recognize my device. Any other solutions would be helpful. Thanks for your attention! (I'm a beginner in technology, so please forgive me)
