[Q] ADB not working

Hello everyone i am having troubles installing adb on my laptop and i need it to flash a splash screen on my mytouch slide so it can match the rom i have made for it. I installed the adnroid sdk to where it needs to be by downloading adb for dummies lol. Except when i open cmd and run adb it says its not an internal batch orrecognized file or whatever but when i type adb.exe on command prompt it shows everything about adb. So can anyone please help me thanks.

I'm trying to piece together information here. ADB for me is in my C:\, so when opening CMD prompt, I first type "cd/" (without quotes) then "cd AndroidSDK/tools". To get a list of ADB's commands, type "adb help". Maybe you're not using the proper syntax. I base this off the statement you made that when you type adb.exe it shows the adb commands, and command syntax usage.
Also note that changing your splash screen you must first S-OFF your phone. Here's a guide on how to do so

That's the tricky part though, easy part is flashing your custom boot image.
File you will need: View attachment Boot_images.zip
Once you have the 320x480 boot image you want, open "CreateG1Splash", select your boot image, and convert it with this program. Once converted the new file will show in the same folder as CreateG1Splash, named mysplash.rgb565. Move this file to your ADB tools folder. Open CMD prompt and point CMD prompt to your AndroidSDK\tools folder.
Then boot phone into bootloader, then select fastboot. Plug the phone to CPU via USB, and type, "fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565". Reboot phone to see change.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Having Trouble with adb

I am running Linux Mint 15 on my compute and want to use adb for rooting/reflashing purposes. I downloaded and ran the script from: https://code.google.com/p/adb-fastboot-install/
I used it several weeks ago without any issues. In the instructions it says to rename a file and put it in the Android-tools folder, then change to that directory and then use: adb push filename.zip /sdcard/.
I used adb several weeks ago and don't remember putting the file anywhere special, simply changing to the directory it is in (android-tools)
or specifying the path of the file I wan't to push to the Android SD card. I looked and can't find any folders named "android-tools."
If I run the command adb devices (with the phone connected via USB) I see that the command runs and it finds the device. However, if I then do the command adb push PC36.zip to /sdcard I get an error stating: "cannot stat 'PC36IMG.zip No such file or directory."
What am I doing wrong???

Never Mind
Never mind!
It was getting late so instead of typing the command "adb reboot bootloader" I thought if I just copied and pasted it from the instructions I was using that I would would avoid typos due to being tired. However, I found the my problem was due to my instructions saying to use the command "ADB reboot bootloader."

[Q] Can't push files with ADB/TWRP

Here's my issue. Trying to put an updated CM on my kindle. Put when I open up cmd prompt from my ADB file location from my desktop it won't let me push files.
I'm able to put in the cmd; adb devices. and can see my device is listed in recovery mod. but every time I run the cmd, adb push filename.zip /sdcard/ filename.zip....It doesn't send instead the cmd prompt returns a bunch of lines of code explaining the different commands that are available.
I've reinstalled the USB drivers for my kindle and am running TWRP v2.6.3.1.
Any help is appreciated
Edit: solved my own issue, sorry

Can't flash recovery file

Hi,
I'm trying to install LineageOS on Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. Everything worked fine until I tried to flash a recovery file. After typing this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img it says it can't find a file with that name. I tried putting a path before the name, but then it says access denied. Any help?
Thanks

You never used the windows command window before?
Type dir to see files and folders
Type cd <name> to change folder till you see .img file

I was thinking about navigating to the folder where I saved it, but didn't try it as I was in a car. Anyway, it worked. Thanks.

Question adb sideload "cannot read file" help

I have a fairly new windows 10 computer and when trying to sideload the it's I get adb sideload cannot read file. Any suggestions?

You'll likely have to give more details.
Using the newest Platform Tools from Google?
Using the newest drivers from Google?
Give an example of a command you've tried (the whole command line) including the location for where you tell it to sideload the file from.
