Is my favoured CWM not working with the M8?
Separate issue and question.............
When i type adb devices i get - error: device not found.
But if i type fastboot devices my device shows up.
Even tho i get error message for adb commands, adb reboot bootloader works and i can still flash a boot.img
flashing works but not all adb commands, was wondering if anybody knows why this is happening. help very much appreciated..:good:

thx - two different questions...
Remember that adb only works in the recovery and running os. Fastboot only works in the bootloader.

Thank you i hadn't known this. Is this a new development because i do remember from recent times that adb devices was the command to use from the bootloader and to check your device was connected. Some tutorials still require you to use this. The fastboot devices i was lucky enough to stumble on.
On the HTC adb has never worked in the bootloader
Doesn't work on Nexus devices either as it needs to be in Android/recovery to run. In fastboot, ONLY fastboot commands work

I have a pretty big problem and need some guided help. My stock samsung usb charger sometimes charges the phone and sometimes does not. Tried multiple different chords and got the same results, sometimes works sometimes does not. So now I am assuming this is an internal hardware problem soo I decided I should flash stock images, unroot and relock the bootloader and here comes the worst problem.... My device is NOT recognized when I connect it to my PC... therefor I can't access adb connection to flash stock images so I can return it to VZW....
Not sure what to do next.. any suggestions would be great...
It sounds like you just don't have the drivers installed. Just install the Samsung drivers here.

I tried that. uninstalled the old ones (that worked for 3 months) reinstalled them again and still no luck..
Do you have any other Android processes running on your cpu? Droid Explorer or alike? Droid Ex **** blocks adb; I had a frustrating few minutes once when adb wouldn't connect to my device until I realized DE was running in the background.
Long shot, but just a thought.
This is actually a common hardware error. See http://code.google.com/p/android/is...ary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=23789#makechanges and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539
Basicly you need to buy a new USB charging board.

Sure. My adb command prompt does not recognize my device therefor I cannot execute any commands ei fastboot.

fastboot doesnt have anything to do with adb; boot your device into bootloader
'fastboot devices'
do you see your device?

I am in the bootloader and don't see 'fastboot devices' or do I see my device. I see the product name, variant, bootloader version, baseband version, etc. Would that be considered 'my device' being recognized and I could actually flash the stock images?

fastboot is like adb. You need to run it from a command line. You should have had to use it when you installed a custom recovery ('fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img') or unlocked your phone (ie 'fastboot oem unlock'). fastboot is part of the android sdk (think it's in tools folder, but I moved mine so am not sure).

That's what my understanding of what it was too. I'm in the bootloader running a command prompt through windows and for the first time I think it recognized my devices. I ran 'fastboot devices' and a bunch of numbers on one line came up followed by fastboot. So I think my device is recognized and I can flash stock images?

yes, you can download the images for your device from google and flash them to your phone using fastboot if you want. I'm pretty sure that would put you back at stock with an unlocked bootloader.
@op, next time read how to flash/get back to stock before flashing anything. there must be like a dozen of topics in xda about this ****.

I know how to. It was just your demeanor and wording/phrasing that had me confused.
I have the same problem, fastboot was working this morning, now after flashing Revolution HD, typing "fastboot devices" in CMD doesnt return anything anything, neither does adb push command which replies failed to copy .... As if the phone doesnt exist or its not attached. Does the phone need to be in clockwork mod? or just boot the phone normally?
Edit: This should do the trick, open CMD in Windows, navigate to your c:\android where you have fastboot and adb stored and type:
:cd %:h
adb kill-server
adb reboot bootloader

Windows XP absolutely HATES the samsung galaxy nexus.

Fortunately I have a W7 BEAST rig at home.. But the work XP pc can't handle the Nexus
I just accidentally wiped my SD card and my system and now I don't know how to get a rom onto my phone due to the lack of an SD card slot. Can anyone help me get a rom on the internal so I can flash? I have TWRP still but I have no clue how to get a rom to my sd card. Am I screwed? Cause I read a forum that had to have usb-debugging on and I have no system lol. Thank you guys so much
You dont need USB debugging tot have adb in recovery. Just use adb sideload. Or adb push.

Could you give me the commands to adb push a rom to the phone? I can't get adb to recognize my device in fastboot either When I use the fastboot devices command no devices show up... it's depressing

First use TWRP not fastboot. Once you are in recovery plug the phone in and type "adb devices" (without the quotes) in command prompt or terminal. If it returns with letters and numbers (can't remember might be a combination of both) your good to go. Type "adb push c:\downloads\Rom.zip /sdcard" type out the directory where the file is instead of downloads change it to where your rom is. If you type adb devices and nothing happens you need to work on your drivers.

I had this issue - I couldn't get the computer to recognise the phone when it was in the Bootloader. I had to uninstall all the android drivers I could find (using this: https://www.topnotchtablets.com/FixUSBproblems) and then plug the handset back into the USB while in bootloader.
Let it detect it as a generic device (or whatever it chooses to see it as, mine was different every time), then in Device Manager, right click it, then select Update Driver Software. Select the option to choose the driver you want to install and navigate to where you have the drivers saved. The actual driver is: android_winusb.inf. Choose the option select the driver yourself from that file, and locate the one that says Bootloader.
After doing all of that I was able to see it all fine, and it was detected in fastboot, and all the toolkits I used.
Someone feel free to correct me anywhere I'm wrong - just going from memory here.
The drivers are here: https://dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip

He said he can't get adb to recognize his device - isn't that because the drivers aren't installed properly? I know adb and fastboot are two separate things. If the device isn't showing after he enters "fastboot devices" then my first guess was that the phone, in bootloader (since he has no OS installed), isn't showing up in device manager either because the drivers aren't there.
Excuse me for trying to offer thorough assistance...

Sorry if I sounded like a Douche. I might be wrong but I thought adb and fastboot had separate driver sets.

No worries - it's possible that they do. But the drivers I linked are the ones that worked for me consistently. The Samsung ones seemed to stop working each time I disconnected the handset and plugged it back in via USB.
In any case, those are the only ones I have installed right now and everything is working great for me connection/recognition wise.
Any luck yet jtl_777?
To push files to the handset, use the command: adb push filename.ext destination-folder

Just for future reference so people reading these threads don't get super confused, your computer won't recognize your phone through adb commands unless you are in adb sideload through your custom recovery, or if you're booted up and running in an operating system. You could also use adb push commands in your custom recovery. This has nothing to do with drivers or whatnot. If in bootloader your device isn't recognized through adb commands, that's completely normal, because it never would be, but your device should be recognized in bootloader with fastboot commands.
IF your phone is NOT recognized in your booted up phone, or in adb sideload through your custom recovery, or with adb push commands in your custom recovery, with adb commands, then you have driver issues.
ALSO IF your phone is NOT recognized while in bootloader, with fastboot commands, then you have driver issues.
To answer the OP's question:
If you have an unlocked bootloader and you are in TWRP, you can mount your phone onto your computer and copy and paste the rom zip onto the phone and then install it through TWRP once on the phone. If that doesn't work, then you can try using adb push commands while in TWRP (or maybe need to be in adb sideload through TWRP) to push the rom to your sd card and then run it through TWRP. If that doesn't work, you can also try flashing the rom zip through bootloader with fastboot commands, but all these commands might be device specific, that's why I won't tell you the commands I know for the HTC One X, but the processes are the same no matter what. Hope that helps
You don't need to be in sideload mode to use adb in recovery. I use adb in recovery all the time on all my devices to push files

I believe that's if you're using push commands, no? Other than adb push commands, can you use other adb commands while in a custom recovery, without adb sideload?
For the sake of clarity, you cannot use any adb commands while in stock recovery, but you could if you have a custom recovery.

Hey guyz,
I wanna use multirom and I'm getting stuck on flashing kernel in modified TWRP using sideload.
When i start it i can't find my device using command on cmd "adb devices"....it says "adb server didnt ACK" and failed to start daemon.
I'm running windows 8.1 and I installed htc sync for drivers.
If some1 know how to fix this problem i would be appriciate it,

Are you booted into OS, or in bootloader? adb won't work in bootloader.
Do fastboot commands work? You need to be in bootloader-fastboot mode for that.

I've installed ADB/Fastboot/USB Drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (tried both 1.3 and 1.4.2 versions.
Booted my SW3 into Fastboot (whitescreen, with fastboot written on it) - attached to the PC, Device shows up as SAMSUNG Android Phone > Android ADB Interface
Ran CMD as an Administrator.
Typed, adb reboot bootloader.... Error: device '<null>' not found.
Typed adb devices... not listed.
Okay, so using a driver stripper (and windows program uninstaller), removed all Samsung phone USB drivers, KIES and existing ADB drivers. Re-ran the top tool to re-install everything. Repeated process, still showing up as SAMSUNG Android Phone > Android ADB Interface. Still not detected.
No idea at all what's going on here. I've tried cleaning the drivers multiple times. Other USB ports (2.0 & 3.0). Tried manually updating the driver to Google Inc. driver variants (9.0-11.0)
Really appreciate any help here.

Mind if I pick your brain on that point. I'm used to ADB on a smartphone, I really expected this to be similar but there's clearly some catches.
I don't think I'm into bootloader yet because the command 'adb reboot bootloader, or adb reboot-bootloader' doesn't do anything other than throw the error mentioned above.
However, typing fastboot devices gives me.

But this doesn't allow me to process to run through the other ADB commands I need to complete. 'adb devices' still lists nothing.
In short, I'm trying to downgrade my SW3 to LCA32, as required to turn on the NFC functionality https://github.com/pimpimmi/LibreAlarm/wiki/How-to-install-NFC-on-Sony-Smartwatch-3
It's to assist in enhancing a medical device that uses NFC.
