[Q] [HELP] Phone is softbricked, can't get any ADB commands to work - HTC Droid DNA

Alright so I'm no stranger to flashing ROMS and whatnot, but today I slipped up and deleted everything on my internal storage, including my NANDROID backup. I still have access to my recovery (CWM touch v6.0.4.5). So I thought "no problem, I"ll just ADB sideload". Well here we are.
Basically I can't get my ****ing phone to communicate with my computer. I installed every damn thing I could think of to get my device to show up after typing "adb devices". I tried the universal toolkit, but as expected it didn't work very well. I tried it on my laptop and desktop, through USB 2.0 and 3.0. I installed the generic Android USB ADB driver, I installed HTC sync for DNA drivers, I installed a standalone version of the DNA driver, and no dice. Can't even get fastboot to communicate. Even though my phone says fastboot USB my computer won't recognize it.
This is seriously ****ing pissing me off, because it should be a simple fix. Anybody have words of wisdom to help me out?
Thanks in advance.

When your in hboot/fastboot and connected to your computer does it say fastboot usb? If it does when you type in fastboot devices is it recognizing your device at all? Should bring up serial number. Are you on Windows xp/7/8 or 8.1?

Which version of the universal ADB drivers did you use, because I just did this to my phone about a month ago and had the same issue? Once I installed the universal generic driver everything communicated and worked properly.

Try installing PDAnet it blanket installs a bunch of drivers that got me out of a similar spot!

(Q)Can't get Fastboot to work

ok. I'm tired so go easy on me. I'm running Windows 7 32bit. I have Dell PC Suite installed. I've got the full SDK installed. I've also got the R288920 drivers installed. I've been trying (since 3.00am) to get Fastboot to work and it would seem no matter what i do i just cannot. My Streak (Steve's 1.90) shows up in Device Manager as "Android ADB Interface". I've tried all 6 usb ports on my pc. I've tried Adb Composite. Adb Bootloader. Adb Interface and nothing works. I should also mention i had to do a clean install of Windows yesterday and prior to that Fastboot worked fine. I'm a semi-noob and i'm convinced that this is a driver problem. My question is this, can someone please tell me where i've gone wrong? As the man with the steering wheel down his pants said to the Doctor "this is driving me nuts".
Problem solved. Fastboot file was corrupted.

[Q] Droid DNA and ADB commands

Hey XDA I got my DNA the day it was released and love it. I am a creature of habit though so i want to root it like my past dinc2. I am running into a problem though. the command
Code:
adb devices
doesn't return my device. when i type in
Code:
fastboot devices
my phones serial number comes up, like it should. Fastboot works but ADB doesn't. I am trying to do JCase's Bootloader Exploit. I have the drivers installed, environment variable path set to my adb/fastboot location, and java sdk and android sdk all installed. I know ADB doesnt recognize it in the fastboot menu, just the beginning menu so that's what I'm doing. How can i get ADB to recognize my device like fastboot does.
Here's what I'm getting:
Code:
C:\And-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
C:\And-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices
FA2BBS500706 fastboot
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Um, do you have usb debugging enabled.

having the same issue. I can issue commands through fastboot and ADB commands when I'm in recovery but not when my phone is fully booted.
Try going into slept dev. settings turning adb debugging off then back on

Its really bugging me. All Google says is "ADB works, Fastboot doesn't" and that's the opposite of our problem!!!

yes, usb debugging is enabled, has been (I'm not that dumb haha).

Not sure what "slept dev. settings" is (typo maybe??). I have on/off'd dev settings and check/unchecked usb debugging a alot of times to no success.
Here's the cure all....I'm assuming you have the lastest SDK and have yor ADB folder set to something simple like C:\ADB and I'm also assuming you are running Windows
I had the same issue ....initially I had no issue in ADB and I was able to do the CIG change and unlock on HTC Dev..but later on I installed HTC sync drivers and from then on no matter what I did only fastboot commands worked in recovery...ADB did not in recovery or when my phone was running normal.
So...uninstall all htc SYnc and driverin programs/features on oyur laptop...reboot your laptop. on the laptop download and instal PDANet 3.50 (its free). it will prompt you to connect your phone and will install a proper driver (and also throw the pda net 3.50 program on your phone). Once you have successfully installed it, ADB should work perfectly for you.

This didn't work for me... PDANet gave me error 103 when i connected my phone. I have uploaded the image.

yeah, whatever Windows or other HTC driver you have that install for thephone is still on the laptop and that will conflict when installing.
You get PDANet to install successfully your ADB will come back.
In your programs and features make sure HTC SYnc AND HTC Drivers are unisntalled.
No idea if Windows 8 is more of a pain..I'm still on 7
before anything else, make sure your sdk is updated to an ics or later level
i just update the sdk whenever google pushes an update
I'm on 7 as well. How can I uninstall the drivers for good, like to the point where its like the first time I'm connecting my phone to pc again

With your phone not attached..
Control Panel- Programs Features...when I had HTC Sync installed I had to uninstall that AND the program entry for HTC Drivers as well.
You can then also use USBDeview..sort/toggle by Last Plug/Unplug and uninstall any Android drivers you see which could be conflicting.
Reboot, Install PDA Net and attach the phone when prompted. Also accept the driver even though you get the warning that it isn;t digitally signed from JuneFabrics.
This didn't work I'm still getting error 103 Android Device not found
Update:
I got Pdanet installed via putting the phone into fastboot mode and installing Pdanet on the computer.
I did notice that when im in fastboot my Android adb interface (in device manager) popped up but when I left fastboot mode and went to the bootloader my Android adb interface went away, this may be my issue with adb devices not working i think...
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
i am currently having this same issue. i did as you did and went to usbfastboot loader and tried installing pda net. i also saw the same adb device pop up but my install is stuck at installing pdanet phone and not moving. did you leave it in fastboot mode or did you reboot back?

ADB/Download mode help

I've been having two problems with my OG.
The first is when my OG is connected to my computer, the computer recognizes it and I am able to view everything on my phone. The problem is when I open command prompt and enter adb devices to check to see if it sees the phone, it returns "List of devices attached" with nothing underneath. Clearly it is not recognizing the phone.
The second problem I am having is that when I enter download mode neither LGNPST nor my computer recognize the phone. Its as if nothing was plugged into the usb port.
Any help or advice to either problem would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if download mode needs drivers. Do you have usb debugging enabled for the phone to be recognized in adb? Under development settings.
Make sure you're not plugged into a USB 3.0 port
It isnt plugged into a USB 3.0 port.
What are the necessary drivers? I might've deleted them after I rooted and flashed to The Base 0.73 and didn't think I would need them again.
I feel like I should mention that actually. I rooted and flashed to the Base, then flashed Slick Rom, then went back to the Base. So orginally my computer recognized my phone in download mode but after rooting and flashing it didn't. I think it might be the drivers. I'll check when I get home.
Ok so I downloaded the drivers from LG's website and installed them. I ran adb and it was recognized so that was the problem I had. Apparently after flashing I uninstalled and deleted everything off of my computer and just forgot to download everything back. Thanks for helping.

[Q] Rooting help

I bought my One with bootloader unlocked but the guy who sold me the phone unrooted the phone before shipping and i've tried to follow the rooting and the unlocking bootloader through fastboot methods but every time i open sdk manager it just says i have to update, i update then it says restart, and no mater what i do, cmd just keeps telling me fastboot is not a recognized command... blah blah... short question is, is there a rooting app i can purchase or if anyone can give me a helping hand?
Edit: I have followed the steps exactly, switched off fastboot in power menu, and powered off entered fastboot from bootloader, plugged in device, entered cmd and tried it but i get the aforementioned error.
Edit 2: I made the folder and placed my files and it seemed to go a little smoothly but it says waiting on device and just hangs there. The computer is still not recognizing the phone, i still get USB not recognized. try reconnecting the device....
Oh also, trying to install a recovery to this, so i can root... but just an easy way
Please help me, someone... the bootloader says unlocked btw. but fastboot does nothing when trying to flash via cmd.
if you are running windows 8 you may need to install the correct drivers, i had the same problem when i tried to root my M7 and im runinng windows 8, if youd like the drivers, PM me i cant remember where i got them from, but i have them still. Also if you can try switching USB ports, i had to use a different one and everything went kinda smooth after that.

Accessing ADB

I'm aware there is another thread on this, but his solution was simply switching the cable. For me, adb is currently working on multiple other phones, but on the G8X, it simply doesn't list the device. Any idea?
I do NOT have the full Android SDK, only the "minimal ADB and Fastboot" package, which just comes with adb, fastboot, and a couple other things. I love it and hope I don't have to install the full SDK for fastboot to work. D:
USB debugging is enabled, the device is connected as "File Transfer," and everything else is as it should be.

Same issue. Trying to use the Button Mapper app, and windows Button Mapper Setup keeps saying "Make sure the device is connected and USB Debugging is enabled."
Help?
You must try multiple times until a notification shows up to trust your PC.

Actually it was more "complicated" than that, as it said it ran an older version of the server than the phone at first. I googled some more, and managed to solve it. It was the installation of the LG USB mobile driver. I tried with the windows stock one at first, then tried Google USB driver from the SDKmanager, and even an universal driver didn't work. And even then when it was installed, THEN it said "unauthorized" and I had to just accept the connection on my phone
It's sorted now!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Man, I wasn't expecting a reply after all this time, figured my unit was somehow defective or something. This worked perfectly! To others suffering, here's the direct link to the LG drivers, current version as of now, 4.4.2: tool.lime.gdms. lge .com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425 (Remove the spaces before and after the "lge").
Now I can tweak my system settings, debloat, use Button Mapper. Thanks again!
