[Q] Fastboot and locking problems

---

hey so i need to send my nexus s in for repair and i have stock rom and recovery, but every time i try fastboot oem lock it just sits at "waiting for device"
ADB works fine.
I tried alternative drivers

What can i do to re lock my phone?

Are you in the bootloader? (Phone off -> Vol. Up + Power -> fastboot oem lock).

Also, does the command "fastboot devices" show your device?

fastboot does not show my device. I go into bootloader using adb reboot bootloader because my stupid power button wont work, thats why i want to sent it in to get fixed.

The USB connector socket at the phone might not make a proper contact with the USB plug. Make sure they connect properly. You may try another cable, or have a look at your USB socket and compare it to another. Check out particularly the little horizontal part in the USB socket.

Make sure you're in bootloader/fastboot mode before attempting to connect in fastboot. Fastboot cannot detect your phone, make sure your udev related settings are appropriate. Check on a Linux PC: https://source.android.com/source/initializing.html Configuring USB Access section.

If after this your phone will not be recognized by fastboot, please post the output of the following command (as root), after seconds after connecting the phone in fastboot mode:

tail /var/log/messages

If drivers are properly installed this might not be working because the power button is stuck in or something. Not sure what to try to sort it out if that's the case.

1 - Boot your phone into fastboot mode.
2 - open cmd in your pc.
3 - write: cd \"name of the file where your fastboot is in your pc", and then press enter.
4 - write: fastboot oem lock
5 - press enter and it's done!
