Make sure you pull the battery & boot into bootlaoder > then Recovery every-time it fails.. It's a pain, trust me...


You can also edit the loop to like adb shell and what not..

even if its 7+? It found device offline split second, then nothing at all.

Boot into boot loader
Open command prompt
cd c:\android\tools
from phone, select recovery and press power
in command prompt, typed adb devices
I got this message:
c:\Android\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT05NPS04355 offline

Then, unplugged usb and plugged back in

in command prompt, typed adb devices
I got this message:
c:\Android\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT05NPS04355 recovery

then followed the tutorial from step 8 to 20.

Now I'm on my way to flash a rom!! Hopefully this help you guys as it did for me. Good Luck!!

I was having the same problem with the loop to where I could only get it to show offline for a few lines, then it would disappear.
I tried this and it works great until i unplug the phone.
When I plug it back in it just disappears again instead of going to recovery.

Any ideas? it seems that my problem is getting the SDK to recognize the phone in recovery.
i tried just going to the next step a few times and doing the file push with no success, but once my dos screen gave me a whole stack of info. is this normal?
what am i messing up to not see the phone in recovery?

hi, im using this method to root a droid eris on 2.1 and im having a bit of trouble.

i am able to get up to step 5, but when i get to step 6, adb devices doesnt seem to detect my offline device. ive made sure debugging is on, and ive downloaded and updated my usb drivers. i am VERY new to all this phone stuff, so any help would be very much appreciated.

When I go into recovery and un-plug/re-plug in, the computer does not re-recognize the device. Can someone please help me get off step 7. PLEASE and thanks..

How did you guys make it recognize?

[nikoli4]

ya I'm having the same issue. It still says offline, doesn't change to recovery. Any ideas?
