[TUTORIAL] Install ROM via sideload

I know most of you already know this, but it may help others because this is very usefull for installing kitkat.
It's a pain to copy an 1,2 GB ROM to internal storage, so sideloading (installing from PC) it's lot easier and faster.
So here's the trick.
Copy the zip you want to install in "adb" folder (archiev attached)
Reboot phone in recovery mode
Optional - do your wipes
If you have CMW
Go to install zip -> install zip from sideload
If you have TWRP
Go to advanced -> ADB sideload
connect the USB cable and run START.cmd
type "adb devices" to check if your phone is recognized and connected (skip if you know everything it's ok)
type "adb sideload kitkat.zip" (replace kitkat with zip's name)
Notes:
Ofc you need USB drivers

Ive tried that a couple times but always i get a "cannot read kitkat.zip" thing, any idea why?

Umm... Did you replace "kitkat.zip" with the actual name of your zip file (or rename your zip to "kitkat.zip")? I know it might be a very stupid question, but I can only read your post, not your mind...

Make a screenshot of what you're doing and error you get, this way will be easier for both.

First, there is no way for a rom to use ".rar" extension. After, error means that the file couldn't be read (missing or corrupted). Also you may try my method which doesn't need android SDK, so there is no complications with wrong paths or such.

Look at the screen I've attached. Are you sure your zip it's not the same have you checked it? I've highlighted the rom itself.

Ok then simply extract "VDT-V20..." from that archieve. That's the zip you have to install via sideload!

It looks to me that your screenshot is showing contents of a ZIP inside a RAR. What @roscatel means, you should extract the ZIP from the RAR that you downloaded -- it's actually an archive packed inside another archive. After that, flash the ZIP you just extracted using any method (sideload, or from recovery as usual). Do NOT rename RAR to ZIP -- it doesn't make sense, and will most definitely NOT work.

hi my pc known my device but when i write adb sideload ...zip foul (stand) 0% and i watting 15 minuts for process but nothing happening . plz help me . my device is xperia tx.. plzzzzzzzzzzzzz

install the last TWRP (flash it via bootloader), same process by opening commande window in the folder (shift+right click: then open command) and tiping command: fastboot flash recovery (name of the file).img (like that: exemple: fastboot flash recovery lastTWRP.img)
it autorize MTP transfer, so you cas access your internal storage and copy the zip file
or retrieve backups from your phone

I'm using and side load on my lge
LM-x210MA an I keep getting these different errors do I need to flash more than a twrp.imf what about sys.img root.img root-boot.img this is all a lot to take in as a first timer go easy I'm not trolling just trying to learn

Unable to sideload community build

I am trying to install the latest community build , I download a latest version of 3.5.3 from OnePlus's download section.
Currently I am on 3.2.7 , not rooted and boot loader is locked. All factory setting
these are the steps
check and make sure USB debugging is on
connect the device to PC
adb reboot recovery
device goes to recovery , select language and select install from adb on my phone
checking to make sure device is recognized and authorized
adb devices
50f4f77f sideload
************************************
adb sideload Update.zip
loading: 'Update.zip'
* cannot read 'Update.zip' *
I know I am in a correct folder as I already a did a <dir> and verified update.zip is in the current folder but lets try this
adb sideload C:\adb\Update.zip
loading: 'Update.zip'
* cannot read 'Update.zip' *
:crying:
at this point I am sure there is something wrong with the zip file. so I delete it and download the 3.2.6 just to test it out and I was able to downgrade to 3.2.6 with adb sildeload. once installation was complete I tried again to download 3.5.3 and sideload it but still getting a cannot read <filename> error.
any idea what I am missing here ?
By the way , I have tried several options such as :
1- changing the location of the file from adb folder to other location
2- renaming the file
3- launching cmd prompt as an administrator and navigating to the file location

Hello,
I have a strong feeling that you are trying to flash a wrong zip file. Can you mention the size of file that you mentioned as "update.zip"?

Then why are you giving command of update.zip? You should write the name of file in the command.
Replace "update.zip" in your command to the name of file as it is.

sure , here it is

I had this issue when I tried to download the first time. The zip is corrupted. I downloaded the file again and update your adb and fastboot version. I am sure it should work fine.
---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------
I also suspect the issue could be due to renaming the filename manually into update.zip and when the extension is hidden, it becomes update.zip.zip. please crosscheck to be double sure.

Reboot your computer after you download the file.
I know it sounds weird but I have to do it every time I download the community builds and I've no idea why...otherwise they give the same error. Don't rename the file either there's no need.

There could be renaming issue. Try re-downloading file and let me know if you have resolved the issue..

Renaming the file is only for the sake of convenience. Or else you may end up giving a wrong file name by typing error when giving the sideload command as the file names are usually too long.
In this case the file should have been corrupt (not fully downloaded).

Try opening the .zip file.
If it is corrupted, the CRC will fail and it won't open.
In which case you know you have a bad download.

Hi , I did try to reinstall the adb drivers , but I will give it a shot again. Also as far as renaming the file the file in the above screen shot is originally downloaded from OnePlus's website without renaming. >dir command shows the file extension to be correct ending with .zip not zip.zip ..
anyways I will reinstall the adb drivers again today

by the way may I get the link to "adb and fastboot version" which you are referring to ? just wanted to make sure I am on the right track

What version of adb are you using?
Your screen print shows 944,128 bytes whereas mine shows 1,479,680 bytes for adb.exe
eg output from the command "adb version"
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36
Revision 8f855a3d9b35-android
Looks like you are on:
>adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32
Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android

for anybody who is having the same issue and interested what was the solution , I download a new copy of .zip file from OnePlus websire . restarted my PC and tried again and it worked . Can't make any sense of it but that was the solution

Update to Nougat

The update.zip worked for me, but I didn't use the SD card method, so I can't verify this works right now. Give this method a shot and tell me if it works.
IF YOU ARE ON PH1, rename this S7Nupdate.zip to update.zip and follow the quoted instructions.
IF YOU ARE ON PI3, rename this PI3_PK4update.zip to update.zip and follow the quoted instructions.
UPDATE: S7update2.zip Rename this to update.zip and follow the same procedure AFTER YOU HAVE UPDATED TO THE FIRST BETA(PK4).
zimgir124 said:
A method has been found to install the beta without being accepted!
Thanks @jrkruse for finding this method!
1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
2. If it does not then you must odin the PH1 firmware, use the pit file and the full csc not the home csc file
3. go through setup
4. enable developer options
5. turn OEM unlock off
6. enable USB debugging
7. place Update.zip on Ext sd card in folder named fota
8. power off phone
9. reboot to download mode make sure both system and binary are official.
10. reboot to recovery (Power + volume down + home)
11. choose apply Update.zip from SD card
12. find Update.zip in the fota folder you created on your Ext sdcard
13. click yes to apply
After this it should update to the Android 7.0 beta and hopefully will be able to download future beta OTAs.
You will not lose anything as this is an OTA
You do not want to be rooted. You must be stock for this to work!
There is no gear VR available on the beta.
Troubleshooting:
"E: footer is wrong" followed by "E: signature verification failed" : Decrypt SD Card and try again.

Will it work with 930u firmware on a verizon phone?

It worked for me... Pm me your PayPal address for the pledge I made

No sir. I didn't do anything special other than being the first to upload a file. I haven't done anything to deserve any payment. My time is free on this.

also can verify it works.. Thank you so much!

Perhaps too many people are downloading all at once. Maybe try again in a few minutes. I just tried and was able to get through.

Excellent, I'll keep trying. So all i have to do is rename it update.zip and make a folder in my sdcard called fota and update through recovery? Internal sdcard or external?

Awesome. Thanks for all your help guys!

1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
where do I find the official? Doesn't say anything under download mode or settings. Downloading zip now. Thanks so much.
found it under settings/about phone/status on very bottom.

I'm at 91% complete by using update over ADB, since I didn't have an SD card available. Will report back.
Update: Working great!
I downloaded the update, changed the name to update.zip, downloaded minimal ADb and fastboot, put the phone in download mode, selected 'update over adb', and then used adb sideload update.zip....boom...success!
I'll tell you what...I have a new car with Android Auto, which I use to listen to Spotify, mostly. The audio quality is noticably and significantly better on the nougat update with performance mode enabled. It made my day!
Thanks for taking the time to grab the file, OP!

I can look for it tomorrow. I'm not familiar with S6E+ at all, i just find update because one of the member ask me if i can. I have no idea what is ladest available firmware for your devices. But like i said i can look for it.
Clicking from Edge of Galaxy

Seems edge+ (and probably note 5) got huge upgrade in Android 7 update. Including performance mode which is not available to gs6.
So far I noticed and worth to mention.
Camera UI renewal
Performance mode
New function from nougat, notification panel and night mode
All the Samsung app seems all redesigned
Display render resolution can be changed between 720p, fhd and wqhd
Battery is better especially for standby time
Great job from Samsung this time

if you can acces to recovery, the only thing you can do is adb sideload ...bin
with an original stock ROM for your fire phone
(.bin must be the extension of the file, that you can get from official amazon site)

Thanks a lot for your help after starting this thread i did a lot of research about it and i got the same solution from Xda and i tried it is same manner as some nice people posted it on this site but now another issue is being created automatically which is adb sideload command is not working when i write the following command
adb sideload "filename.bin"
its shows me an error "*cannot read filename.bin"
i tried it by changing the file name as "update.bin" and also tried it same file name which i downloaded from the amazon site. Please help me to resolve issue. Thanks again.

If you have the device via adb (with adb devices command) you can do an adb sideload sure... so in your case I supose, the file is corrupted... better dont rename it... but, if you can connect via adb, you can sideload sure...

did you do adb devices first?... first you have to know if adb can connet with the device... that will be listed with that command... adb devices
if you want send an screenshot with the result of making adb devices

Try to sideload what version of fire os you had before MIUI upgrade. If you had fireos 4.6.6, sideload 4.6.6, if you had 3.6.5 sideload 3.6.5

Try using another wire and/or another port and/or another file... (the original stock that I had is in my shared folder, that one for exemple or any other one)... I hope you could relive it...

Hello,
This may be a stupid question but did you specify the proper path? ie: c:\'filename"
just a shot, good luck
