Root Need help with fastboot

[sparko2010]

I cannot seem to get anywhere with fastboot... I finally got adb to work and can get it to boot into fastboot, but once I'm there I get an error when trying to flash amonra. I played with it for hours because it wasn't doing anything at all before and finally got it to use the correct driver (seemingly), but devices returns a ? and I can't flash to it and when I try to reboot it says completed, but nothing happens. Anyone else have this issue before? I tried linux as well but I can't seem to get adb to work on my new install and it doesnt seem to have fastboot at all in the new sdk for linux... Is there a way to push amonra to the phone without fastboot? BTW I have Froyo and followed the directions closely except for the fastboot parts... I flashed the lg recovery in amonra since fastboot doesn't work, but other than that I followed it.

Did you install the driver?

You need to download the fastboot binary seperately. i dont remember where I found it but a quick google of fastboot linux will get you moving in the right direction.

yeah I still don't know what the deal is with the windows machine but I did finally remember that I had to get fastboot seperately with linux and a google search made it mine pretty quick. ADB started working once I realized that it was starting on its own without root permission because I opened the sdk manager. killed it and restarted and didn't have any problems with it anymore. I guess thats what I get for a.) believing adb doesn't work on a 64bit system and b.)using windows
