Fastboot
Contents
Introduction
Fastboot is a protocol that can be used to re-flash partitions on your device (update the flash file system in your devices). It is this small tool that comes with the Android SDK (Software Developer Kit), which is an alternative to the Recovery Mode for doing installations and updates. It first comes with Android. Google have submit the fastboot code to mainline U-boot. So we can use this protocol to flash partition on your device. There are three way to enter fastboot mode
Fastboot command
Rockchip use 0x2207 as its USB vendor ID. This VID is not in Google's original fastboot code. So every fastboot command have to use "-i" parameter to specify vid to fastboot.
To list all the Rockchip devices attached to your USB port in fastboot mode.
<code>$ sudo fastboot -i 0x2207 devices 0123456789AB fastboot</code>
To flash loader
<code>$ sudo fastboot -i 0x2207 flash loader "path to your loader"</code>
To flash Android boot image
<code>$ sudo fastboot -i 0x2207 flash boot_a "path to your boot image" 0123456789AB fastboot</code>
To flash Android system image
<code>$ sudo fastboot -i 0x2207 flash system_a "path to your system image" 0123456789AB fastboot</code>

Download Image
To Download Image
fastboot flash <partition_name> <filename>
(For example：fastboot flash system system.img
When download the parameter or loader，需指定分区名为”parameter”/”loader”）

Lock and Unlock the Device
fastboot oem unlock 解锁
fastboot oem unlock_accept 确认解锁
（需要在fastboot oem unlock命令后，5秒内输入）
fastboot oem lock 锁住设备
Special Command
fastboot boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] 临时从指定固件启动
（kernel目前支持Image/zImage，需要将dtb存于kernel末尾，或者resource分区中）
fastboot oem log 获取串口log信息
fastboot oem ucmd <UBOOT cmds> 运行UBOOT命令
Fastboot Unlock
fastboot锁住状态下，不允许烧写及执行oem命令，初始状态为锁住。
解锁流程大致如下：
1、执行fastboot oem unlock
2、5秒内继续执行fastboot oem unlock_accept
3、机器会重启进入recovery恢复出厂设置
4、再次进入fastboot，则fastboot getvar unlocked应该返回"yes"（设备已解锁）
如果设备进入fastboot状态后，fastboot命令提示未发现设备，则需要在命令中加入-i参数指定设备vid，例如fastboot -i 0x2207 getvar unlocked
