ADB Sideload Method to update Nexus 7 Issues
- Thread starter Sarg92
- Start date
Rightclick in the adb window, choose 'open command prompt here' that way you don't have to manually navigate to the right directory. Once the command prompt is open, type:
Code:
adb sideload {name of file}NOT a developer here, just have some experience with the basics. Good luck to you.

Awesome, glad it worked out.... edited typos for others, but you obviously figured it out. Good job!

Ok. Real noob question. How do you get to the adb window to right click?
You dont. Navigate to your adb platform tools folder, right-click in the window (just anywhere in the empty space), and select "open command prompt here" --in the same folder that adb.exe resides in---
Then you can type (in the command window)
Code:
adb devicesjust to make sure you're connecting to your device, if so then type
Code:
adb sideload {name of file}don't type {name of file}, just type the name of the file you're wanting to sideload, including the file extension (the 4.1.2 update I'm guessing) --make sure the file is in the same folder as adb.exe so you don't need to type the path name...
Hope that helps

When I do this, I get same result as typing in "adb help." I don't understand since I see the device when typing "adb devices."
I'm having issues as well. ADB recognizes my N7. I have the file in my /android/platform-tools folder. But when I run adb sideload 03a4eaf95f73.signed-nakasi-JZO54K-from-JRO03D.03a4eaf9.zip, it does the same thing as if I use just the command adb.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
That's a new one on me. Are you using a Mac? I'm using Win7 x64. When in stock recovery and in the "apply update from adb" screen, mine says:
<device serial number> sideload
<device serial number> sideload
I'm sorry, I've neverhad tis problem. If your device id is showing up in an adb devices query, you should be able to type
Code:
adb sideload {path to file/name of file}And it should run.... is your device in recovery? Or just plugged in? Have you enabled USB debugging in settings>developer options?

I reinstalled my drivers. I now have serial number / sideload, but using the adb sideload code still runs the same as typing just adb.

SOLVED: Had to delete my platform-tools folder and reinstall adb. Worked first try. =D

I'm getting this too. Any advice?
Edit: Ignore this. Reinstalled and works fine.

SOLVED: Had to delete my platform-tools folder and reinstall adb. Worked first try. =D1The side load command seems to not be included in older versions of adb. The list of adb commands comes up because an invalid command was typed. I had an older version of adb that could detect the n7 but didn't recognize the sideload command. A newer version of adb I have works fine.
