Hey, my brother just got a Defy, and I managed to root using z4root and install tenfar's recovery, but when I boot into the recovery, both laptop running ubuntu and my pc running w7 with motorola's dev usb drivers just won't recognize it.
I've tried killing and starting adb as root, running cmd as admin in w7 and nothing.
When I type "adb devices" it shows a blank table.
I've also tried to enable usb-ms on tenfar's recovery, and they won't recognize the sd either when in recovery mode.
Any idea?
P.S, in normal boot, both computers recognize the defy with no problem at all
bump, no one knows?
Errrrr... why are you trying to run ADB commands to it while you're in the bootstrap recovery?
If you're trying to run ADB commands, you probably want the phone booted into Android, and (usually) with root and USB debugging enabled.
The bootstrap recovery is pretty much just for making/flashing Nandroid backups.
It's also required for running BiDi correction scripts, I need to extract framework.jar from the phone, run a correction script on it, and then push back the altered jar to the phone, and for this I must be in recovery mode.
having the same problem:there is no recovery mode
Hi,
I instaled cm9 on my defy. Now when I try to turn it on, can't. Also cant open recovery, cause there is error: "busybox was not created in footfs". And when I open recoveri, it says: "E:Error in /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh (result: no such file or directory) Could someone please help me?

Hi,
First of all I'd like to say I tried to look this up in the forum but since my problem is kind of a combination of several problems, I failed to find a proper solution.
I have a rooted galaxy nexus running 4.3 deodexed. I downloaded a Mod to flash in CWM Recovery. Did a flash and factory reset and as I tried to flash it, it gave an error and aborted the installation and since then I can't get the phone out of bootloader. I can enter recovery mod from there however, I can't boot the phone.
Unfortunately I don't have a stock rom or any other zip/img/tar etc file on my sdcard.
When I plug my phone on bootloader I get the error message FASTBOOT fail command
I downloaded adb drivers but when I try to use adb push command I get an error message saying "ADB is not a recognized as an internal or external command etc." I'm doing this on the folder where extracted adb files.
I used to skipnote nexus toolkit. But even though I can get it to recognize my phone on either fastboot or adb mode, I fail to flash / push or install anything on my phone. If I try ADB, it waits forever on waiting for ADB phase. If I use fastboot however, it gives an error message and aborts the operation.
Downloaded & installed kies on the computer. I tried ODIN to push files but I failed at that too. Seems like Odin doesn't recognize the device.
As a result, I can't use my phone right now. I'm open for any suggestions for installing a stock rom and unrooting or rooting and installing a custom rom.
Thank you all very much in advance,
solved
I used another laptop with a fresh skipnote nexus toolkit and everything worked just fine.

So I formatted my sdcard thinking I would be able to install a new rom easily, that was not the case. The problem is that I have not found a way to transfer files to my phone.
I have TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery installed, but mount USB does not work. I get the sound from my pc that a device has been connected but nothing happens. I tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling htc sync + drivers but no difference.
Fastboot commands work, but adb commands do not. So i cannot adb push. Adb doen't work in fastboot as I understand it but should work in recovery?
I was thinking of installing stock rom, because I can appearently do that via fastboot. But after extracting rom.zip from ruu install file, I find out that I have to decrypt the zip-file. And the only decryption tool available is for linux, which is a bit of a hassle as I am running windows.
So do anyone have any suggestions to how I can transfer files to my phone? The easiest would be to get mount usb to work, or adb push to work. I have not managed to get adb sideload to work either. I have struggled with this for the past two days, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Flash this one, mount the sdcard and wait some minutes

I was looking to do a full wipe from TWRP and wanted to wipe data as well. Knowing that that would erase everything from the internal storage and not having an SD card available to me now I decided to wipe everything and then transfer the new ROM with adb commands.
Before wiping, I wanted to make sure that adb was working first. So I downloaded the Android SDK and booted to TWRP. Went to Advanced--->ADB Sideload and started the command prompt on my PC. From the folder were adb.exe was I typed "adb usb" and got error:device not found.
I don't know why but after 30 minutes trying to fix that I pressed the "Fix permissions" option in TWRP and now my phone is stuck at the boot logo every time I try to turn it on. I also noticed in Device Manager on my PC that every time I connect the phone to the PC that there is a yellow exclamation mark next to the phone which suggests that I don't have the needed drivers. However I tried to install versions 3.10 and the newest 3.12 and the exclamation mark is still there.
So my question is how do I reach the phone with ADB and transfer the flashable ROM zipfile so I can get the phone past the boot logo?
Well I'll answer myself if anybody has the same problem in the future. It was obviously the USB driver's fault and since none of the LG's drivers worked, I used Google's USB drivers and was able to adb sideload the ROM zip and now it's booting into the OS.
So always check your drivers people! In case LG's don't work, then use Google's!
Hi XDA,
So I got an Xperia PLAY just the other day. Despite its age, since its capable of running a PS emulator, given the built in controller, I think its rad.
Anyhow, went to install CM10 on it and I screwed up big time.
I actually copied the update.zip file over in USB storage mode instead of adb pushing it.
Phone is now stuck in boot loop.
Here's where I'm at:
-I CAN still access both bootloader and CWRM (I used bootloader to copy the boot.img across)
-I CAN'T get the phone to communicated with adb (no adb device shows up in device manager or "adb devices", the only thing I can see is "MTP Device" which I figure is the problem)
-I CAN'T switch it out of MTP mode (if this is even the issue) as CWRM doesn't offer that option
I have tried:
-Both with and without PC companion to get it to communicate with ADB
-The universal ADB driver.
-I have tried the PC companion "phone repair" but it refuses to help me as it realises I have modified the KERNAL.
Question is:
- Is there anything I can do to copy an update.zip ROM across. A way to make ADB work or any solution other than ADB?
- Am I right in assuming ADB is not working because its set to MTP mode?
Much thanks in advance!
Did you flashed kernel (boot.img file that you extract from zip file)?
What was your previous kernel/rom?

Go into cwm. Go to mounts and storage. Connect phone to pc and mount the sd and you should be able to connect to adb while in cwm. Copy a rom over and flash or if it was the biktloader and kernel and all that do as per usual

I everyone,
I need your help, I tried to install a new rom (AICP : this one) , and somehow forgot to do a backup.
When I boot I only get the swirling logo, never get to fully load.
The phone is not bricked, I can still access the bootloader / fastboot and my recovery, so I could simply flash another rom... but I can't figure how to get the zip file on the /sdcard.
I can't use adb sideload or push, I have HTC sync and android sdk installed, I have no problem to use fastboot commands, so I guess I don't have any driver problem, but adb devices never shows my phone (Tried while off, booted on bootloader, on fastboot, and on recovery, never shows up when I try adb devices)
On windows I get a driver error when plugging my phone while in recovery, but I don't find how to install it.
So... is there a way to mount the /sdcard/ as an external drive in windows or ubuntu ? Or do you have a workaround for adb ?
Thanks a lot !
