Trying to restore after wipe, but ADB is not enabled

I unlocked, and rooted my nexus 7 using the Nexus Root Toolkit.
Everything was good until, after a few days, I tried turning on my device but got stuck on the "X" loading screen. After googling for a bit, I figured a factory reset would do the trick. I tried to factory reset the device in TWRP, but was confused by the two buttons and accidentally wiped everything (in adv wipe with everything checked).
Now the next problem is that I don't have USB debugging enabled (I recall turning it off for some reason). When i run "adb devices", nothing comes up and so i can't push anything to the device (and everything is wiped). Is there a command i can run, or file i can edit while in TWRP recovery mode to enable it? It seems i can't do anything without it enabled.

I did the same thing. This will help you get back to square one.

Regarding how to most quickly get you back up and running, it is probably easier to just flash the stock images as mentioned above.
Regarding your adb issue, if you can boot into TWRP and are using a known good USB 2.0 port (sometimes 3.0 gives issues), then adb should already be running (ie what usb debugging enables is running)
You probably don't have drivers installed for adb running under recovery. The regular drivers don't work.
See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391236

The ADB drivers from SDK is only for when in Bootloader and booted into ROM for needing USB Debugging. This is the driver you need in addition to what you have you've already installed to use ADB while in recovery otherwise you will see "Flo" under Unknown Devices in your computer Device Manager.

Thank you everyone. The new drivers and restore guide worked perfectly.

ADB not seeing my Swift (retry)

Hi all, posting here because my other thread hasn't been seen.
I bought a WileyFox Swift on grey thursday and have edited my adb_usb.ini to include 0x2970, but ADB doesn't see the phone. I have rebooted the PC, run adb kill-server and adb start-server, but all the time when I run adb devices it gives the line "List of devices attached" but nothing.
I've even tried using the USB cable it comes with rather than my normal one. The problem is I'd like to run Locale More, to switch between locales (have you ever tried using the GPS in English when you are in France? Painful on the ears ), but the batch file it comes with doesn't work because it can't find the Swift either.
And yes, I've turned on developer options, etc.
I think I'd like to root as well, but that might prove difficult if ADB can't see the thing in the first place...

Update: I have found that at the least I should be able to see my phone in the Other Devices list in the Device Manager but I've got nothing, just ADB Interface

Alright I see. I am assuming you are using stock COS. So when you enable developer options and enabled android debugging your computer did not want to pick it up. Unplug device and Try revoking USB Authoriztions in developer options. plug swift back in and look at the device. It should ask you for Authroization

Thanks Yasteellutch. Still not seen by adb devices. I think I'll just clear the phone back to factory and try again...

Hi everyone,
@finnfather I think I have solved the issue. Today, I decided to manualy install (cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2FI) the latest cyanogen update as my phone didn't recive it as an OTA. I downloaded the zip package here and installed it through the stock recovery. And now, adb works! Also, this has fixed a few problems with themes. Now I can use helium! I hope this helps,
Jev

I cound manage the get a workung adb connection, buy switching adb debugging off and on again on the device while the device was connected to the pc via USB. Then I opened the device manager in windows and klicked on update driver vor the unrecogniced device. After that the device prompted a dialog, I had to accept the connection. Now the device was visible in the adb device list. (@jevtheboss: So you do not have to reinstall the cm to make it work)

ADB Devices Offline Issue

So when I originally got my OP3 and rooted it, installed a recovery and installed SuperSu, I had basically no problems. Installed drivers I found on here and never had an issue. Today I found a guide on the OP forums to disable doze which I apparently need to do since certain notifications aren't working right. I plugged my phone in and tried to follow the instructions, listed here under push notification issues
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...3-guide-solutions-e-t-c.448097/#post-14886949
When typing in adb devices, my device shows offline. I have done numerous things to try and fix the issue which I will try to lay out here. Initially I didn't install adb or the drivers as the guide suggests, since I had already done that - but after things not working I did try that and that didn't help. Still receive the "offline" next to my serial number device. The device works fine, and I can see it and transfer files to it just fine in the MTP mode. I have also tried to "revoke" permissions like described in the youtube guide I found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSApv8NXqD4
However that didn't work either. I should note that even after revoking permissions and turning usb debugging on and off again, the phone never asks me to authorize my computer as it does in that guide. In fact I don't believe it ever asked me to authorize my computer even when I first got the device. I don't know if that is part of the issue or not. I have also used a different adb version since somewhere I found that you needed to use the newest version. The version I had was 1.32 and I found the newest here on the forums here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 that it was 1.4 as the newest. That adb returns the same results.
I should also note that the guide I linked from oneplus never actually tells me to put the phone into fastboot mode to execute the command, so I tried it initially booted up, and then in fastboot thinking it was supposed to be executed there, however in fastboot mode the phone is not seen at all. adb devices returns nothing, and booted it returns offline mode. Please help me

Nobody?

Have you tried some of the suggestions on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14993855/android-adb-device-offline-cant-issue-commands? I'm not really sure what the situation is like on Windows but first I'd ensure you've installed the latest official Android SDK just to rule out an issue with the version of ADB you're using. You could also try using ADB over WiFi.
Apart from that, you can probably get by without ADB for now. Just run the commands in a terminal emulator on the device and/or create an init script.

Mac doesn't see my pixel 2 xl

TLDR: p2xl won't adb or fastboot on my mac
Lets see if you guys can help, or if my phone is stuck here.
I updated to December 2017 update
Used adb to root with magisk and twrp 3.1.1 beta 2 I believe
I noticed twrp wouldn't work when I would boot into it using the hardware buttons
Did some research and discovered that if you flash a custom kernel it would solve that issue.
When I went to push twrp img to my phone & I noticed my phone's adb stopped connecting to my Mac. I wouldn't get any response from the Mac. It was if I had just plugged my phone into a wall USB to charge. I tried the usb configurations, toggling USB debugging, toggling developer mode, restarting both devices & nothing (I tried on my 2 macs & tried 2 different cables & a micro USB to USB c adapter.)
I let about 4 months pass by and yesterday I decided I would try to fix this issue again.
I selected factory reset & when the phone rebooted into twrp to reset, it asked for a password and twrp started working again. I did a normal reboot & thought the issue was fixed. I booted into twrp again and did the factory reset & flashed flash kernel and twrp was working again.
I decided I would update the phone to the newest update. So I turned on USB debugging and plugged in my phone to my Mac to adb the newest update & still nothing.
So I decided to try to take the ota but it didn't work because of the custom kernel I flashed.
I read somewhere on here that you can flash the boot.img of your current version thru twrp. It would put me back at the stock recovery & kernel. I extracted the boot.img from the zip and flashed it with twrp. And it said it flashed fine. I booted up and checked the kernel and it's was still on the flash kernel. Went back to recovery and now I get the broken Android with the red triangle & I can't get into stock recovery from there by pressing the volume up + power or any other combo.
So now I'm here with a phone that won't adb or fastboot. Doesn't have a working recovery. & Can't take an ota.
Thanks for reading ^_^
What do you think I should do next?

The first thing I would do is take a drink!! Wow! Seems you have quite the mess on your hands. Seriously though, you really can't do much until you get fastboot working. Question, when you unlocked the bootloader, did you run BOTH unlocking commands??? Also, is OEM unlocking and USB debugging still enabled from the developer options menu??
Do you have the latest SDK/platform-tools on your pc? Have you tried different USB cables and ports??
Here's a recovery thread you may want to look at to help you along and get you back up and running :good:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...ol-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3704761

I believe I only used the unlock critical, but I unlocked the bootloader before I did the December update. Not sure that has anything to do with it?
Oem unlocking is enabled, but it is greyed out in the on position. I'll attach picture. And USB debugging is enabled as well
I updated to the latest platform tools yesterday, I tried on my two macs & swapped ports and tried my two different cables that I had on hand, maybe today I'll see if I can get anything with my buddy's pc. Windows 7 I believe.
And okay I'll look getting the recovery going again
Thanks a lot ?

Well at least you can still get into your OS apparently, which is good. I'm not a Mac guy, so I can't help much in that regard, just seems a bit more quirky when using fastboot. Be interested to know how it goes on the Windows 7 machine. That's what I use without issues at all :good:

Yes! At least the phone os on the phone works fine
Yeah you're right about the macs. They are pretty cool because it works with removable devices without having to mess with drivers. But it sucks when something goes bad because there are really any device managers or drivers to mess with.
Blessing/curse.
I'm usually a pc dude too, but my ex took my PC ?
Well once I get home from school I'll get to trying to fix this once again

So the windows PC does detect that something gets plugged in But this the only thing that happens
This sucks
Edit:
I was able to get into stock recovery now. But I don't think you can do much from there.
Adb & fastboot continue to be unresponsive

Well couple things about Mac, you don't need any usb drivers for it. To view the file contents of the /sdcard you need Android File Transfer --> https://www.android.com/filetransfer/ plug in your phone then make sure you change it to MTP on the phone. As for adb and fastboot in terminal, download the latest platform tools for mac --> https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools You will get a folder called "platform-tools" put that folder some where you like on your mac. I put mine at /Users/"my username"/platform-tools So to get it working correctly you need to open terminal and run "cd ~/" [no quotes on these commands btw] then run "sudo nano ~/.bash_profile" when nano opens it should be blank, type on the first line export PATH="$PATH:your/path/to/platform-tools" [with the quotes on that one]. In my case mine is export PATH="$PATH:~/platform-tools" or export PATH="$PATH:Users/ericarthurc/platform-tools"
Just make sure you get the right file path and that its writing correctly; then type ctrl + x and then y for yes to save. Then in terminal type source ~/.bash_profile
Quite terminal and relaunch, run the command "adb version" you should now see the correct file path and no errors; run adb device now and it will start the adb server

I never had problems connecting my Pixel to mac, even to other hackintosh...
I have Android File transfer installed and no SDK platform tools.
Usually I just download the package from Google and place it somewhere. Than opening Terminal, going into that folder, which btw contains adb and fastboot...
For example: when typing the " ./ adb devices" for the first time, the message about not running / starting Daemon service pops up. This is normal.
I presume that you are using the "./" before every command in Terminal.... This is obligatory on Mac.

Yes so I've gotten adb, fastboot, and the Android file transfer working before on both of my Macs, so I know they are set up right. The problem was when I updated my pixel to the December version via adb. Adb stopped completely working.
I can have my phone booted up and in usb debugging mode and run the "./adb devices" and it'll show the list of devices empty.
Same thing if I put the phone in fastboot and try running "./fastboot devices" it hangs for about a second then it shows up with an empty device list.
I was able to wipe the phone clean with the stock recovery & got my stock kernel back I think.( I'll attach a picture) but I'm still not able to ota to the April patch, I'm thinking because I used twrp right?
Either way I still cant get fastboot & adb working, I've tried my two Macs one in high Sierra & the other on El capitan. And a Windows 10 pc and a combination of about 6 different us cables.
Has anyone ever seen this happen? I think I might have hit a wall here

The way I do it is
1. Open terminal
2.write "cd "
3. Drag the platform tools folder from the desktop to the terminal window
4. Check adb devices , "./adb devices"
I will try to reinstall adb again your way, as I am out of options so anything helps, thanks

This, stops before it goes into step 2

disconnect your phone from the mac.
reboot the mac
open developer options on the pixel
disable USB debugging
tap on 'revoke USB debugging authorizations'
enable USB debugging
reboot your phone
plug your phone into the mac again
If all goes well, you will need to authorize it on the phone, and adb/fastboot should work correctly
if you wish to easily install adb/fastboot into your PATH, see here.
That will properly install it, as well as the latest version(s) of each.

Do you guys think I can do anything thru stock recovery?
I tried adb sideload with no success and I tried the apply update thru sd card and I gave me a error unable to mount message?

If I'm on adb sideload mode & I type adb devices into the terminal, should the serial number show up in the terminal? Because it's not. I'll try messing with it a lil more once I get home from work

No ADB. No TWRP. No Magisk. Am I screwed?

Basically, I installed Havoc OS, tried flashing a couple kernels, kept getting systemui crashes, so I decided to dirty flash HavocOS again, and forgot to flash TWRP again before I exited TWRP.
Next, I boot back into my phone, opened Magisk Manager to find that Magisk is not installed, just the manager. I can't install Magisk as I have no TWRP...Which leads me to my next point, trying to boot into recovery brings me no avail as I forgot to flash TWRP. I have zero recovery right now.
Thirdly, HavocOS Suffers from the whole issue of needing SELinux set to permissive, for ADB to work...I can't do that, because I don't have Magisk/root.
Please tell me that someone has an idea here? I'd like to get TWRP back, or back to 100% stock and I can start over, or something other than a custom rom with serious SystemUI crashes and no root...
SOS!

This is not even close to a softbrick. Just boot TWRP using Fastboot and flash the zip from inside TWRP to install it. Also, there are various other solutions to fix your problem. Another one would be to simply use Deuces Recovery Script and go back to Stock.

As d-m-x stated boot twrp with fastboot boot not fastboot flash. Twrp will load into the phone then you can flash twrp and magisk.

I'd tried Fastboot already, will try again momentarily though.

Fastboot hasn't worked either. Unless I'm doing something wrong, but I just get "waiting for any device" despite having adb on/off, being in bootloader/fastboot mode or being booted into android, etc.

For Fastboot to work you have to be in the Bootloader Menu. How did you unlock and root your Phone in the first place? That should have taken you through those steps.
Anyways, it's likely that the computer just doesn't recognize the phone. Connect it and go into your Device Manager and see if it's properly recognized. If not install the correct USB Drivers and try again. If everything is set up correctly you can type "fastboot devices" while in the bootloader and you should see your Devices address which means it is connected and ready. Then boot TWRP as stated and install the zip from within.

Bootloader is unlocked etc. I initially did everything using the P2XLToolskit 2.0
You're correct, I think its simply a case of the PC not recognizing the device. I've already checked device manager, and it's not properly installing the device. I've multiple times tried reinstalling the universal driver, and various other fixes. I think it relates to the whole issue of HavocOS being screwy about USB. Many people have reported issues with USB recognition issues when ADB is turned on. The consensus from how I understand it, is that ADB ON = Phone won't be recognized. ADB OFF = Device should be recognized for file/data transfer...However even with ADB off my PC is still not installing drivers properly / recognizing the device.
The Device Manager lists my device as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"
Also tried:
1. Go to C:\Windows\INF
2. Find the file "wpdmtp.inf"
3. Right click the file and click 'Install'
4. Once that is done, simply plug your phone and it should work.

Try these troubleshooting steps:
- make sure you're running the LATEST SDK Tools
- Try diff USB cables (switch from 2.0 to 3.0, or vice versa)
- Try a diff USB port
- Make sure you're in the proper fastboot folder with the fastboot application
- Boot into bootloader type fastboot devices see if you get a serial number
In my sig is a link for troubleshooting, and step by step that includes links to get latest SDK Tools.
If all else fails, I'd reco a fresh factory image install and get back to your cust Rom from there, rather than spend a day or two chasing ghosts.
Good luck!

Spoke with Google; getting the phone RMA. Blatantly told the guy it was rooted previously, bootloader unlocked, and running a custom ROM. He said it didn't matter. I will report back on this thread once I have new phone in hand, just to confirm all went well.

Reporting back.
Brought phone to virgin mobile, obviously still heavily modified.
Was given a loaner phone. Signed a paper saying I'd pay 150 for the loaner if it broke. Broke loaner screen same day.
Just picked up a brand new pixel 2 xl they shipped (phone only) because mine was considered unrepairable. I was charged 169 for the loaner phone, to my account with virgin. No cash transaction.
All in all, they honoured googles view of not minding the modifications so long as it's an issue they don't feel is related.
Cheers.
