[HOW TO] ADB Sideload/Push if you Wipe Internal Storage & No ROM to Flash [19 May 15]

[bdorr1105]

pushing the rom worked better for me also then flashed it but took me for ever to figure out I didn't have my rom zip in a regular file don't know why but would not push or sideload till rom zip was in an unzipped file

Thats weird never heard of that before

I don't see this in the OP, but after the zip file is sent to the phone, the zip file is called "sideload.zip" - I'm on TWRP 2.6.1 ? I believe and this is what the zip was called

I could see how that would confuse people when they sideload xyz.zip, but then when they look for xyz.zip, they don't see it. Maybe add another line in the op saying the file is sideload.zip? :thumbup:

I didn't see how because you are using sideload so if you see the zip its gonna be the same name of the program you were just using and your memory is supposed t be blank or empty with nothing on it....So when you sideload the zip it will be the only file to flash on your phone. Thats all I am saying but you are the only one that brought this up but if any others do I will def keep you in mind and post something in the OP about it. I appreciate your concern and feedback

When I type ADB devices it doesn't show HTC(other random letter) it just says "List of devices attached" any help would be appreciated


Thank you Daniel

Its not listing any devices attached at all? How about straight from the Main Recovery Screen...Does your phone display then?

I have the same issue I get devices not listed. HTC syn opens & my computer recognized the device as HTC but I can't do any commands. I accidentally deleted everything on the phone but it looks like adb is the only fix. Im new to adb any help would be appreciated.

EDIT* Refert to Post #2 - IF ADB Does Not See Your Device for better instructions



If you don't already have Android SDK then you need to get it. Go Here and download it.

Extract the contents of the zip to your c:\ in a folder named Android

Inside that Android folder should be an eclipse folder, sdk folder, and SDK Manager..

Open SDK Manager and update all the 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 stuff and even 4.3 - This will ensure all the binaries are up to date and ADB should work with no issues

Then follow the OP, remember, you have to place the zip you want to push inside the platform-tools folder because thats where ADB will be pushing the zip from...please ask more questions if you need

I did everything the right way. the issue was is with my hct driver certificates on windows 8. I did everything on a windows 7 & sideloaded successfully.

 

[bdorr1105]

I did not know you were on windows 8 but I have not had an issue with 8 either. Glad you have it figured out

Read troubleshooting post 2, you are not entering the command properly from what it looks like... I am at work but at quick glance that is what I am seeing

Great guide!

Thanks a lot!
This saved me:

adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/ (just changed the directory to fit my device)

Hello,

I've followed all the directions in post 1 and 2. I've also taken some advice for instances people were able to get it working using other methods yet similar. I however have downloaded the SDK and unzipped it into C: with a folder named android with 4.1., 4.2, 4.3 all downloaded including the extras. Also downloaded HTC sync to see if there were additional drivers that i may need. At this point when i preform adb devices, it shows no devices and also windows doesn't recognize it as being installed. I've tried all the driver ideas and all your ideas.. pretty much. I am S-OFF, and my bootloader is unlocked with TWRP installed for recovery. Not sure what else to do, i think windows just can't see my phone in side load for what ever reason.. any suggestions would be great.

Why are you making so many folders, Extract the ZIP and then place it on your C: drive. Dont change anything else about it. Open SDK from insde the folders you extracted and update them all. Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled and your HTC Drivers are working properly on the computer. If you can't get adb to recognize your phone you got some big issues.

adb push error closed

When pushing to file with the following code : adb push file.zip /data/media, it says; error: closed.

Why is this happening?
