ADB bootloader access no longer works? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

*deleted*... it works now? fml wtf

ugh issue is back after I got in for a minute.
Is there any way to get a .zip format of the latest TWRP? I can get the stock recovery into adb sideload mode, but I don't think the twrp .img can be installed with sideload?
It's very strange adb doesn't see device in bootloader mode, but can see it when you choose adb from stock recovery screen.

Need urgent help, lost and confused.

Hello XDA, I got my Galaxy Nexus stock and OTA upgraded it to 4.1.1 Jellybean. I unlocked and rooted the phone and while installing roms I accidentally formatted and factory reseted my phone. I can get into boot loader, and I have CWM installed. If I could just move a rom onto the phone I could boot it. Problem is I cant figure out how to. Keep in mind I am also using a mac. Can anyone help me figure out how to push a rom zip onto the sdcard? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You can abd push from a custom recovery
Alright so USB debugging isnt on but I can still use adb commands? How?
You have to boot into a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and use adb commands.
for ex. adb push NameOfRom.zip /sdcard/
I just tried that and my terminal returned
device not found
Don't mount anything don't do anything special in recovery at all.
You're booted into recovery?
Also...I found when I wasn't using naked drivers that it took ~30 seconds for ADB to actually be recognized.
Maybe wait a minute and try again.
If not unplug and plug in.
I can use fastboot commands and it it recognized in fastboot, can I flash a stock rom from this mode?

If you're using fastboot...that means you're not in custom recovery.
Navigate to recovery in that menu.
Or use fastboot boot ______________.img to boot into a custom recovery if you have one downloaded and in your platform tools directory.
But yes, you COULD do that.
But I wouldn't yet.
You'll lose all of your data/apps/etc.

There is nothing on my phone, I have CWM installed, however there are no ROMs on the sdcard to flash through CWM. How would I move a file onto my sdcard that I could flash with CWM via fast boot?

I've explained this process already.
Post three of my guide.
Good luck.

You don't flash fastboot images via CWM. If you have CWM installed & you're booted in to bootloader (fastboot) mode use the volume keys to reboot into recovery

I tried pushing a zip to the phone while using adb and a custom recovery. My terminal says it pushed the files to my SD card, however when I go to install the zip, no files appear. Even when I restart recovery there are still no zips found. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Maybe try...
adb push NameOfRom.zip /sdcard/NameOfRom.zip
or
adb push NameOfRom.zip /data/media/NameOfRom.zip

(Q) d855 stuck on adb sideload with stock recovery

I've entered recovery through quick boot app, didn't have twrp just stock to sideload the twrp img using a mac.(just to copy the file to internal sd) Mac didn't recognize my adb and now the phone is stuck on adb sideload screen, how do I get out of it?

Yet another OTA softbrick thread. How screwed am I?

Hi all,
It seems I come back a n00b every few years.
I rooted my Zenfone 2 to remove some clutter and guess what I did today? I updated. Didn't know that would brick my phone but well here I am.
I followed these steps:
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/06/how-to-update-ota-without-bootloop-on-rooted-zenfone2.html
Only to find that it wouldn't boot.
Went into recovery and tried to factory reset... went on for more than 15 minutes (I didn't want to stop the process....). I then had to hard reset then boot into recovery and tried to wipe cache which yielded nothing...
BTW, I think the failed wipe and reset messed up permissions as fastboot yields an error (even though the "flash recovery" bit seems to work).
I tried installing TWRP and it only boots back into fastboot. Reinstall the recovery from the link above and I can go back into recovery but can't seem to use any of the functions.
Any ideas?
p.s. I did do a few searches. Can't find anything specific about
I also tried using the adb sideload to sideload official firmware but it yields "error: device not found" and then goes back into regular recovery...

Have you installed all your drivers correctly?
In TWRP, have you gone into advanced and selected ADB Sideload? I've also had issues with sideloading, I think it's a TWRP issue though.
Here's what you can try:
Boot into TWRP and make sure the phone is detected on the PC.
open up adb
type: adb devices
hit enter
your device should be listed
type: adb push -p rom.zip /sdcard0/
-for push, it's just the command to push files to your phone. Alternatively, pull is for taking files from your phone (in the event you can't boot up and need a certain file)
-for -p, it just means show progress, so in CMD you'll see a percentage sign which is always a good thing to know
-for rom.zip you type in the location of the file
-for /sdcard0/ you can leave that, as that is the send destination and should land right in your main folder.
And once the file is transferred over, install through TWRP.
Wipe Dalvik/Cache.
Reboot system.
Profit.
If all this doesn't work, try a microsd card with the file on it.
EDIT: I just realized you meant you meant stock recovery. In that case...it should still allow you to adb sideload, but I'm not sure. As long as you can still use ADB, you can follow my instructions above.
adb push yields "error: closed"
adb sideload says it needs adb 1.0.32 to do operation...
Try using microSD, download the latest firmware on asus website, then rename the zip to MOFD_UPDATE.zip and copy it to your microSD then go to recovery mode and it'll install the update. it took sometime be patient

Recovery doeasn't have option "Update from zip" but this time, the adb sideload command worked for some reason...

in my experience, it automatically install the zip if i go to recovery
Update: Sideload worked and I've been back to stock since. Didn't want to flash because I was ok with stock but didn't want the clutter. Will find another stable firmware if need be.
Thanks again for the help!

Boot animation only, but can boot to bootloader and TWRP

Hate to start a new thread, but I don't see what I am running into .
My Nexus 5x is unable to boot past the animation (normally it would ask for my pattern, then boot into the system). I can access the bootloader and I can access TWRP.
But when I try adb commands like adb devices I get no response.
I just use this to sideload the new OTA from google which worked just fine so I know the sdk is setup correctly on this computer (rebooted etc).
With access to the bootloader and even TRWP (3.0.2-2) any clue as to where to go from here?
If I try to use adb sideload in advanced in TWRP, I can't talk to the phone (fastboot command fail)...
Phone Bootloader is: BHZ11g
The version of Nexus should be NRD91N 7.0
Seems I have some access on my phone, but cannot send commands to it via computer.
**Update** while at the bootloader (fastboot mode) I can see response when I use
fastboot devices
00b14a7d39589285 fastboot
Okay, I was able to recover from this by sideloading again the new OTA from google. The phone then rebooted but was wiped.
Will work from there

LG G4 H815 frozen on LG logo after attempting root/TWRP

Attempted to root phone use ADB and fastboot.
during process noticed difficulty in getting recovery mode open manually and had to use adb reboot recovery, whereupon android recovery picture was there but no menu options.
Could not install TWRP conventionally thus attempted the method shown here.
"NSTALL TWRP
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I always put TWRP.img in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - You can transfer files to and from your computer while in recovery.
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install, then select images, then select recovery NOT BOOT, then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery. "
Flashed both twrp image and super-su within the TWRP booted from pc through adb (as shown in the previously mentioned method).
Upon reboot phone has hung at LG symbol. LED is flashing. ADB recognises device as connected however won't respond to reboot requests.
How do i fix this?
