    Guys forget everything about sideload the update... there's a little trick which force your devices to get it ota


    1. Go to Settings -> Apps -> All

    2. Find Google Services Framework.

    3. Tap on Force Stop.

    4. Select Clear Data.

    i should do it 4 times before it worked :D :good:

    Ok. Real noob question. How do you get to the adb window to right click?:eek:

    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 devices

    just 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

    I'm sorry, I've neverhad tis problem. If. Our device I'd is showingup 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

    The 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.

    Had an issue with this today, turned out my supposed update.zip was actually a .tar archive. :silly:
