  1. Is it possible to execute a fastboot bat install script from a Windows 8.1 computer? The bat scrip in question is a fastboot install script for my Xiaomi MiPad but the GUI that is supposed to flash it doesn’t work properly so I am looking for a manual option to run it in fastboot.

    The GUI did manage to install device drivers so I can connect properly ADB and Fastboot.

    If it is possible to run a script manually in fastboot then adding this command to your list would be most useful and you would earn my undying gratitiude :=)

    • @disqus_VmwZ4lsKKO:disqus you will have to look actually what commands that bat script runs, there might be a way to run it using the manual adb and fastboot. Also, if you’re having problems running bat script on a windows 8.1 computer, you will need to resolve the issue. I haven’t done a guide for that yet, but ADB and Fastboot do not easily get configured on windows 8.1.. until windows 8, it was just fine.. however, stay connected, I shall find a method and let you know soon.

      • Hey thanks for the input! Will stay connected. I can post the script maybe?

        (By the way reboots me into fastboot mode as my version of adb only has reboot and reboot-bootloader else a space after reboot is immediately executed as normal reboot. Maybe Google have simplified commands in new versions of adb?)

        • @disqus_VmwZ4lsKKO:disqus Which ADB and Fastboot drivers are you using? The current version is using the commands listed above, and Minimal ADB and Fastboot uses the same commands as well.

  2. Are you aware you stated the exact same command under “backing up system and installed apps” for backing up system and what you call “installed” apps. The command you meant to copy and paste there replaces system with data. Like this adb pull /data/app backup/installedapps

  5. UNABLE TO RECOVER STOCK OS OF HTC DESIRE X AFTER INSTALLING CUSTOM ROM. I WANT TO GET BACK TO MY OLD OS , BUT I CAN’T .PLEASE HELP. i also did a nandroid backup. when i try to recover then it goes in bootloop

  6. Hi all. I’m trying to uninstall an app from my LG G7 ThinQ via the ADB. I got my phone stuck in an endless loop because I accidently turned on “resume running automations on start up” in my automation app. Now I’m stuck in a forever hitting of the back button and I’m unable to open ANYTHING. I tried restarting in safe mode, but it’s not working. I believe it my be because I have my phone encrypted for added security.

    Anyway, I tried using the ADB and the commands above, and in another article I read here, but it just keeps saying :

    “PS C:FastBoot> .adb uninstall com.llamalab.automate_2019-02-03.apk
    * daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
    * daemon started successfully
    error: no devices/emulators found
    – waiting for device -”

    My device is connected, it’s in fastbood mode. I checked every step thrice….. I’m stuck and I’m getting desperate lol. can any one help?

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    • @seangarren:disqus I believe your phone is still in bootloop. Here are your options now.
      Boot into recovery and clear cache. If cache doesn’t help, perform a factory reset. If the factory reset fails too, the only option is to flash a new stock firmware using the LG flash tool.
