So again, need more information
In the fifth post from that link describes the type of info you may want to share
Also in the post I linked you has a link for how to install Ubuntu on the g2 which seems to be what you want
You need to explain all what you have tried and where you got stuck along with all info pertinent about your phone
Without this all I can do is write a guide for you which you have already read so... Yeah

(What it looks like after copied over to the SD Card)
1) Again, make sure you have your Android smartphone/tablet “rooted”!
2) You must have Android SDK installed or have access to adb.exe.
3) Make sure your Android phone/tablet is in debugging mode. Go to Settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
4) Connect your Android device to your computer via USB cable and set the USB mode to “Just Charge”.
5) Your Android device should be recognized as “ADB Device” under Device Manager. If not, install appropriate drivers.
For all HTC Android smartphones/tablets (such as G2 Phone, Nexus One), you can download Windows drivers here:
HTC Windows 64-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
HTC Windows 32-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
6) Open up a command prompt by typing “cmd” under Start->Search programs and files.
7) Browse to your SDK directory where you installed the Android SDK:
8) Then go into platform-tools directory:
9) Type “adb devices” to double-check your Android device is recognized.
In this example, I used an HTC G2 Phone, which shows up at “HT09SR204261″. This is fine. However, if you get an empty device, that means you didn’t install the drivers for your phone/tablet correctly. (Go back to #5)
im stuck at step 10 Type “adb shell” to enter the Android shell.
"Then type “su” to enter super user mode, then type “cd /sdcard” and “cd ubuntu” to enter the ubuntu directory in your SD card of your Android device." ← this part

So your device is recognized by adb, then you type
adb shell
And you see a # after su
But when you type
cd /sdcard
cd ubuntu
What happens, does it say something like no file or directory? This would mean there is no file on SD card named Ubuntu
Maybe if you can copy and paste all input/output from cmd here

[Q] Stuck at CWM, USB mounting doesn't work, Can't copy ROMs over to the phone.

So, someone went and did something to my phone, I guess he deleted everything, and formatted the SD card, system folder, etc.
Now, I don't have any of my ROMS on my phone, and I'm stuck with just CWM. I cannot mount the USB storage using CWM, so I can't transfer any files over.
I'm using Windows 8.1, and I've tried installing the drivers using Flashtool. Installation of drivers was successful, but Windows still detects the phone as a "Xperia S" with an exclamation mark. Running Flashtool tells me I need to install the drivers from the driver folder. I installed the 3 drivers with Xperia S in its name, and the fastboot and adb drivers. Still doesn't work.
Any advice? Basically I just want to be able to copy a ROM over to the phone to install it, as I don't have any OS(?) on the phone right now.

You can get into cwm? Then Transfer and install a Rom.ZIP with adb sideload. I believe the adb driver is working in Windows 8. Open up Windows terminal, browse to the folder where adb.exe and the custom Rom is saved (should be there). In cwm select adb sideload and write in the command line in windows "adb sideload Rom.ZIP". If thats Not working (what it does for me, im also using Windows 8, cant install any Rom on another way) install all the drivers and Software for flashing on a Windows 7 device and it should work just fine.

I've done that. I installed the drivers, but the phone is still not recognised for some reason. Not entirely sure why, though I suspect it's got something to do with me using Windows 8.1.

Thanks. I'll try and see if I can find a Windows 8 or 7 machine. Not possible to do this in Mac, I suppose? Would a virtual machine work, you think?

Maybe u could try Sony Update Service, so that the fastboot driver might install properly through official software from sony.

Is it save to assume that you have experience flashing ROM? Just asking coz sometimes we missed some obvious step.

Yes, I do. I've flashed using CWM. Mostly it's pretty easy, just copy the ROM onto the phone, and install it using CWM after clearing caches.

Thanks for the idea to do a sideload! I used a virtual Windows XP, and was able to install a ROM onto my phone!
Thanks very much.

[Q] Need driver help for my KF - ADB is not detecting the device when in TWRP Mode

My KF is having some problems. I followed the tutorial from Cyanogen for the installation, and I got to the point where I finished flashing the recovery (twrp (don't know which version, it's from this site). I have a bootable device that will go into recovery, but when booting into standard Kindle OS, the device is unable to boot, and gets stuck on the KF logo. I am unable to use ADB to push the rom onto the device for flashing, and I cannot copy it manually because I cannot boot. My fastboot drivers are working, but when I go into Device Manager on Win7, my kindle shows up with the triangle + exclamation point. I can't update this driver as nothing works, and I've literally tried every possible solution on the internet.
thanks in advance

shameless self bump

Have you tried the drivers in my signature? You right click the device and hit update drivers and point it to where my drivers where extracted to use them.

I have tried your drivers - I tried that before coming here. When I extracted the driver files and pointed the install to the directory, it didn't give any install. It said drivers were not found and that's where I got stuck. Does the mounting of the internal storage not work in TWRP?

No it does not, you have to adb push them or adb side load them. If you tell me the vid and pid listed in the devices hardware id's on the details tab of its properties in the device manager maybe I can update my drivers to help you.

okay let me see:
do you want the pid and hid in TWRP mode or fastboot mode
in the hardware IDs these are listed:
USB\VID_1949&PID_0008&REV_0216&MI_00
USB\VID_1949&PID_0008&MI_00
Those are the two when booted into TWRP. If you need anything else like fastboot hid then I'll provide those as well.

You may be having a driver install problem. Windows 8/7 64bit must disable security enforcement. This is for Windows 7.
Disable device driver signature enforcement -
Both must be done from the administrator profile to work right
Both of these are for Windows 7 X64 users.
Windows 7 X32 and earlier version users do not have this issue
A.
1. Reboot and on start up press F8 a couple times.
2. Scroll down to "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement."
Note: This must be done on every bootup you want to install something not MS signed.
B. For a more permanent solution.
1. First go and uninstall the driver (delete driver) you want to replace and then restart your computer.*
2. Now go to the start menu and type cmd.
3. Right click on "cmd" and open a command prompt with elevated privileges (run as administrator.)
4. Now copy these in the command prompt one at a time hitting enter after each one.
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
4. Now install the driver you want.
5. Restart the computer.
6. Profit.
Note: If you do this right, you will see "Test Mode Windows 7 Build 7601" (or something comparable) in the lower right corner of your screen. This means that drivers not signed by MS can be installed without getting the Windows has installed the best driver already bit.
If you opt to take your computer out of test mode, the drivers will more than likely be replaced by MS drivers the next time you restart your computer. Follow steps 1,2 and 3 in part B of tutorial, copy these commands in the command prompt one at a time hitting enter after each one.
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Now restart your computer.

Fastboot is not gonna work if you don't have your usb drivers set up and your tablet recognized. Your tablet has to be recognized and that yellow triangle says it's not.

In fastboot mode, the device is easily recognized by the computer. i can flash and have no problems whatsoever. When I try to use TWRP to copy the image to the device, that's where I get the issue.

And what do you mean by that? What is the environment path?
I know it can be flashed in fastboot as the computer recognizes it and fastboot detects it as a device. It's just that in twrp the computer is unable to find any drivers for it.

m8 I have no idea what you are talking about.
I started the cyanogen mod tutorial that they have on the wiki, and I got to flashing the custom bootloader and the twrp recovery mode. After that, the device wasn't recognized during TWRP mounting so I wasn't able to mount and copy over the CM image for installation. That's why I am stuck now. Could you please link me to or attach the kindleOS stock rom so I can flash it and go back to stock kindleOS. Right now I have an expensive brick and it's seriously bugging me.

Do you mean the windows path? If you do, I used the installer I found on this website along with the kindle fastboot drivers found from amazon and it was already added to the path.

bump?

im facing the same problem here, i restored my kf hd 8.9 back to stock using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468988
however, i just cant connect to the device via adb. fastboot is working, so the drivers are fine. adb has been enabled on the device's settings panel.
i need adb to root the device and reinstall the 2nd bootloader for custom roms.

It might actually be a driver problem, switching between twrp, fastboot, and a android os have caused issues for me before where I NAD to uninstall the driver and reinstall it, and sometimes it would have a USB composite USB device I'd have to remove to fix it(had a bird of 1949 so I new it was the kindle).

surprisingly restoring back to stock and then doing it again worked. I'm now running 4.4.4
Thanks for the help stunts, sjj, and linear

Hey,
Did you figure it out yet? as long as you have the drivers, you basically just run everything through terminal instead of command prompt.

actually its easier on OSX, no need to install any driver, just plug your phone and open terminal.
taken from this thread :
Asus Zenfone 2 | Resources all in one thread
3.1) Rooting Zenfone 2
Method 3 (1 CLICK ROOT TOOL):
Download 1 Click root tool fromMEGA https://mega.co.nz/#!R8k0zACY!xaiNnxyAijsUwJL3l9koo1Iyr-pIjQmwVkVE8A_lv8Y
or from Google Drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B936USMlQhtKbmZLZDE3N1JMazA/view?usp=sharing
Unzip and run root.sh
open terminal, cd to directory or drag the folder to terminal then type
Code:
[B]./root.sh[/B]
basically, every linux method on that thread working on OSX too.
hope it help.

One thing i want to tell you is that,
You can install other device driver for that device too.
Just go to device manager and right click the unknown usb device and install driver from the list and choose android phone. or just download this driver and choose this using same process :- https://adbdriver.com/upload/samsung_android_usb_driver.exe
Dont worry this will work for every device.:good::good:

Best way to install up-to-date drivers:
Gett flashtool from the Sony website and extract the .exe with 7-Zip:
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool
There is an executable file "Sony_Mobile_Software_Update_Drivers_x64_Setup.exe", install it

If you are trying to install the drivers in Windows 10, you need to go into safe mode and start the machine with 'driver signing disabled'
Then install the drivers.
You have to connect your phone in flashmode, go to the device manager, find the phone and manually add the right driver. Windows automatically assignes the wrong driver.
Edit: Sony driver is found here
