Guys, i have a bit of a problem, when trying to flash Omni ROM 4.4, i installed TWPR Recovery but wiped everything, included sdcard, mistake, now, i wanted to use KDZ to flash stock firmware or through CMD push ROM file to sdcard but can't get to connect the device, if i'm in download mode or recovery, adb is not working, in Devices it lists as "Android" but with trouble to obtain drivers, and if i boot normally, can't enter the OS because i wiped, i get MTP installation and another ones, but device in ADB (adb devices) is Offline.
What can i do?
Does download mode install drivers or find your phone?

The problem was about drivers, that i knew, so i found some universal adb drivers, and they got installed, device was recognized but not as online, just as host, so i couldn't use adb sideload or just use adb to push the file. Found out that adb was outdated so i downloaded another one and, everything working, sideloaded the files, and now everything is runinng up again.

So I made a mistake and I tried to flash the newest aokp build 3 without a backup. I got my new phone a while back and never made a backup.
I flashed build 3 and (accidentally) some old gapps and I kept getting stuck on the Google screen.
Next I tried pushing files through the Gnex tool kit and manually through fastboot. I keep getting errors that there is no insecure boot or that the device is not connected. attempts at a temporary insecure boot on the tool kit fail.
Next I tried a wipe and then just installing build 3 without google apps so I could add the correct one after boot, but it is again stuck.
So now I'm really not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
Rule number 1 : STOP using toolkits!!
now, can you get into cwm recovery?
Yes, I can gt into twrp everything I did except for trying to push the last files was through twrp
by the way, I have a Verizon Nexus
And as a side comment: The tool kit was used as a last ditch effort. The toolkit had nothing to do with bricking the device. The toolkit has been extremely useful for unlocking and rooting multiple devices quickly.
You could eithther try to flash back to stock or you could boot into TWRP & adb push a different ROM. (You did try Wipe Data / Factory Reset right?)

I think what thegtfusion was trying to say was: if you wouldn't have used a toolkit in the past, you would have known how to fix your bootloop.
Buy anyway:
1) Boot into recovery and plug into your PC
2) Open a command prompt (in the folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe)
3) Push the ROM (and kernel if it doesn't come with it) you want to flash to your device: adb push /path/to/ROM.zip /sdcard/
4) Reboot into fastboot mode
5) Erase your old ROM: fastboot erase system
6) Erase your old kernel: fastboot erase boot
7) Reboot into recovery
8) Wipe /data and /cache
9) Flash your ROM & kernel in recovery
10) Reboot. Done.

Screwing up is part of the learning process. It's actually a great way to learn how your phone really works.
Thanks for the reply. For some reason I can't get my device to be recognized on my new computer. I downloaded drivers, adb and fastboot and rebooted everything but it didn't work. I'll have to retry again on my other computer tomorrow.

Try uninstalling all drivers and reinstalling them.

Drivers
Thanks for the drivers. I uninstalled all of the drivers and used the universal one. Everything seems to work until I run 'adb devices' and my Galaxy Nexus is not listed.
I feel that my device is not getting seen because of something I have wrong, but after adb, fastboot, and the correct drivers I'm not sure.
PS - Even with the universal driver I still have to run adb and fastboot from the original directory that I installed them correct? I don't run them from the driver in anyway correct?

did you install android-sdk (and added adb/fastboot to your $PATH) or are you using binary versions of adb and fastboot downloaded elsewhere?
if it's the latter, commands should be run from the directory where you extracted them.
about the drivers, i think you need to go to device manager and update drivers manually to the ones you installed (refered here in the post before mine), assuming you're on windows.

You're booted into TWRP when trying adb?
Fixed! I ended up booting into recovery and the device was recognized in adb there. I was able to push fresh copies of aokp build 3 and gapps (my original build 3 download started failing) and now I just got done initiating swagger!

he didnt have usb debugging on.

Just for understanding, USB debugging is only activated through recovery?
It's also under settings >> developer options so you can use adb while the android is running.

Of course,but that is hard to get to when your phone doesn't boot

USB Debugging needs to be enabled in Android for ADB to work in Android.
CWM and TWRP have USB Debugging enabled by default, so ADB will work fine in recovery with no other action from the user.

Read this whole thread. THE WHOLE THING. Preferably thoroughly.

Even though I have a factory cable, do you want me to go into fastboot using your method?
I tried flashing the images but my computer doesn't recognize the device (can't install otter2-prod-04) and stays at <waiting for device>. Will it be different using your method?
Sorry if I come off a bit noobish, I'm brand new to this.

you need the drivers (should have been mentioned on that thread.)
If you have a fbcable, use it. on windows, device manager, uninstall the current driver if there is any, and use KFU to install the fastboot driver. (only use kfu for the driver, don't do anything else.)
Nevermind, I resolved the problem. It was much easier than I thought, after hours of pulling my hair out.
I now have cm10.1 on my kindle.
Thanks so much anyway.

No problem, i'm happy to help
I had a similar problem when I did mine. (forgot to transfer the rom before wiping)
I could boot into TWRP so i just changed the permissions of the download folder and pushed the rom over from my PC
Same here...

I did the same. I wiped the rom when I was prepping for flash... I forgot I didn't have an SD card for the rom... Took me a few days to get ADB working on a Linux PC, then I sideloaded the rom.
Patience was key...

I deleted my data and so I can't install my ROM, my device read as Amazon Kindle Fire2 (I already installed CM10 and I'm just trying to update)and I can't sideload via TWRP since my device is not detected in adb, I can boot in fastboot, can I push the zip file from there? or any steps on how adb can recognize my device? I tried installing driver from KFU and updated my android SDK tools but still no devices found. I also tried to kill and restart adb and even amazon driver in extras via Android SDK.
Thanks for your help.

I deleted my os with no backup and wiped all files but i could boot into twrp. I couldn't see my kindle or files when plugged into my computer. I booted into twrp and hit advanced then adb side load, I downloaded cm10 ROM into a new file named kindle on my computer renamed the ROM file cm, opened a command prompt in the file " kindle" and typed adb sideload cm.zip then enter and it pushed the file over rebooted and it was fixed. Not sure if anyone else recommended this, I did it about a month ago hope i didnt forget anything, good luck

My main problem with adb is it didnt recognize my device even i tried the ff:
-install driver from kfu
-install driver from amazon in extra via android sdk
-remove driver in device mngr then plug device to auto install driver
My fastboot is working but i didnt know the syntax to flash. Im thinking can i flash zip to system partition then just copy it to sd card via twrp file mngr? Or extract rom from zip then flash boot.img but im worried that twrp might be overwrtten?

Sorry, I posted that because I'm just learning fast boot and adb and I looked for another way.. So I used the cmd prompt on windows to push my ROM onto my kindle sorry if I gave the impression I could help with fastboot. our problems seemed the same so I thought another way could help

I guess I'm missing some steps here or maybe I need to do something to make it work since my adb is not detected in TWRP but I can have it if I let it boot to blue kindle logo. I'm still having a hard time in pushing ROM due to "No space left on device" error and even though I can push gapps I can't find it in TWRP. I'll just wait for someone who might had the same issue and have other solution to resolve this problem. Thanks for your help!:good:
It's been a while since I have updated my recovery and rom so I downloaded latest CWM and CM. I formatted all the options inlusing sdcard and system. That turned out to be a big mistake because now I can not push any files to the phone to flash a rom. I can get to CWM inlcuding the option to adb sideload but my computer does not have the fastboot or adb drivers installed. Is there a way for me to push a rom to the device to get back up and running? I have tried to install the fastboot drivers but the mahine is not recognizing the device.
***Update**
I ended up using the universal toolkit in linux so I wouldn;t have to set up the drivers and was able to get back to a stock image and work from there.
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 !

Everytime I try to sideload the zip files from OnePlus 3 downloads it fails. always. Updated the drivers on my computer, I'm not rooter, no custom roms. What am I doing wrong?
I had the same issue. Delete ALL of your adb drivers, and (re)install the Oneplus drivers, and try adb again. Hope it works for you.

Same error, with android N, still not find solution.
I do say wrong drivers. Although I have the issue aswell. I have a work around, I manually push it with ADB then I flash it with TWRP.
