got my fastboot all set up (to flash Oxygen HBOOT image), but I just get
Code: 
error: device not found
after running
Code: 
adb shell
I've got the driver install and my phone comes up as
Android Bootloader Interface.

why can't I see my phone?

cheers

Hey did you check the device list just incase? (in windows)
 
phone is connected in fastboot mode, device manager has: Android Bootloader Interface, listed as a device, still get the error: device not found.

???
 
Try checking your windows paths and make sure java is installed properly and is also in the path

e.g. add to the end of your path: (or whatever your directories are)

;c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

and

;c:\java\jre6\bin

For example my path is:

c:\android\tools;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;c:\windows\system32
 
you have to get fastboot to recognize your device so it should be somthing like this...

cd\
cd\(name of SDK folder)\tools
fastboot devices (at this point your phone is recognized)
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-oxygen.img (make sure you get the correct file)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache

then continue to next step....

fastboot devices lists SH09XPL04582. Guess this is my phone?
so am I good to go on the hboot flash?

cheers folks
 
I'm guessing the phone needs to be in fastboot mode at all times when using abd. I can't actually see this in any of the guides...

EDIT, just relaised fastboot and adb are different. Still can't get adb to recognise my phone, seem to be recognised in fastboot tho..

No you only use fastboot commands in fastboot mode. Adb command is used when you're running the phone in debug mode ie pushing and pulling out apks..
