[Q] USB Not working/No rom installed - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't figure this one out. My Nexus S was running CM9 when I went to wipe it and install a different rom. Now USB will not connect properly. The phone charges fine but no data/adb/fastboot.
The main issue is I no longer have a rom installed and the SD Card is formated too (as I though I could put the file on via adb at recovery but now I can't,
I can boot recovery and download mode but I have nothing on the SD Card to flash. I run linux so I can't use odin. Is there something I can use to flash this phone? Is it hardware?
Thanks!

ADB CMD
if you are on windows 7 you can use CMD to adb push the rom to the phone, just search for cmd on your start bar and right click it and then click run as administrator.
If you need more help then please search google or the forums for more help using ADB method

Why did you just bump a two month old thread lol I also clearly stated I am running Linux and ADB doesn't work either. If it was as simple as ADB it would have been fixed lol
I had to send it under warranty to get it fixed, there was a short in the USB port.

If you have the SDK installed on your computer. Here is what you need to do in order to get back into recovery.
#1 Boot your phone into bootloader, Vol up and power
-Plug into computer using usb while in fastboot(bootloader) and see if it recognizes it. Type adb devices it should list a serial number for your device.
( My SDK is installed in c:\android\) so you would type something like cd c:\android\tools and hit enter and then type adb devices )
#2 If you have installed sdk and pdanet drivers and your computer still does not see your phone in fastboot is this. Go to the folder where sdk is installed and copy everything excluding the folders that is in the Platform-tools folder into the tools folder. After that download Stock Phone files unzip it into a folder on desktop.
Dont run the script yet, what you have to do is after you unzip the stock look in the folder you just unzipped them in and you should see a file called fastboot, adb, and some other .dll's AdbWinApi.dll and etc move only these 4 files to your sdk tools folder.
#3 Now re open a cmd prompt and go back to c:\android\tools (enter) then type in adb devices and your computer should recognize it this time around.
Then all there is left to do is download the recovery of your choice here's mine Recovery and after you download it rename it recovery. After you rename it move it to sdk tools folder and while still in fastboot(bootloader) type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should now be able to enter recovery and flash roms again
EDIT #1
If you havent setup SDK here is a wiki guide on how to do so http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Make sure you are using the most up to date drivers and then use ADB to install recovery again. If I'm understanding it right I think that's what you need to try.

and put it somewhere on ur computer
2. plug phone into comp
3. boot the phone into the fastboot mode with the android guy
4. fastboot erase recovery

This leads me to believe that SDK isn't set up properly. If it's set up correct you should be able to access adb without the phone even connected.

[Q] Serious problem

Hi,
please help me! I hope it is not a brick.
I wanted to make full wipe. I made factory reset in recovery and then wiped sdcard.. Now I cannot boot ROM because there is no one and I have nothing on my SD. So I even cannot copy rom or backup back to phone.
Is there any way out? (
EDIT: I think I can push files (e.g. backup) through adb, right? I installed adb for dummies but when I want to execute SDKmanager.exe. it only opens black window and immediately closes it. I cannot continue

Access your commands through a terminal window, like start > run > cmd to get into the prompt.
and from there work your way to your directory where you have placed it, and execute the command from that directory directly.
..
Thanks!
In the end I used adb to push backup in recovery...
All this I did because I wanted wipe my device - today I woke up and got a call and found out that my earphone stopped working I am afraid that it is due to condensation and next oxidation... I did not do anything wrong but when you come from cold winter weather into a warm flat it can happen Now I need to send it and hope the warranty will pass..
Anyway, I was looking for complete unroot process and found several advices. I am not clever from them. Is it enough to flash stock ROM? Recovery will be removed as well??

1.Switch off your phone
2.Connect your phone to your PC throught the USB cable
3.Switch on phone into fastboot
4.Provided that you have the driver for windows for the phone installed open Start/run/cmd (from your PC)
5.From the Android-SDK/platform-tools run the following "fastboot oem lock".
like :
C:\Android-sdk\platform-tools\fastboot oem lock
this will lock it immediately ...

it works only in "tools" and then it just says "waiting for device" and stucks When I tried "fastboot devices" it says nothing... I tried to reinstall drivers but maybe I have some old version? When I am in Windows copying files etc. it works well.
1. Make sure you open the command prompt IN in the folder with fastboot.exe.
2. Put the phone in fastboot mode.
3. In the command prompt type fastboot devices.
It will now show your serial number. If not its either you are such a noob that you managed to screw that up or the fastboot drivers are not installed. Or both.

If you have i9023 you need to add a line into the sdk for driver. You can search the tutorial threads for it.

try this
just check if you have fastboot and adb on the same folder, when I've rooted mine's got this issue, if cmd report "the command is an external one" simply means there is no such program in the folder you are in
copy both adb and fastboot in tools and platform-tools too, so you can run the command in both folder
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android-sdk> cd tools (then run adb or fastboot)
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android_sdk> cd platform-tools (thr run adb or fastboot)
1. Find out exactly what phone model you have if you don't know already.
2. Do the same for your computers os . Including 32 or 64 bit.
3. Combine that info and search the forum or just Google search. How to install fastboot drivers for phone model in step 1 with the os in step 2.

Thank you all. I decided to unroot it and relock it using Odin software which was great and quick. So I am done.... Adb has a lot of problems with drivers, commands, paths. This way was much easier

Unbrick my Infuse!

I recently downloaded an ICS-based, Cynagen 9 ROM. It was making my Infuse very hot, so I decided to restore back to my previous ROM (Ethereal). I've tried Odin (can't get COM## to appear on it) and Heimdall (installed drivers, new version of Java, still doesn't recognize device). I don't want to pay to have it fixed again, so does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix myself? I have a blue CWM. Thanks.

Since you're stuck in recovery and can't get Heimdall or Odin to work, you'll need to use adb to do what I'm about to explain. So, let me know if you need a tutorial on using adb. You can use adb to push items to /sdcard/ while in CWM recovery. Using adb, put the rom that you want on the internal sdcard and put Zen Arcade's Infusion-Z kernel zip there as well. Get the kernel here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25724526
Then, use the install from zip feature in CWM recovery to flash Zen's kernel to the phone. After the kernel flash, unplug the USB cable and shut the phone off by holding down the power button (it won't boot into anything yet). Then hold the power button and two volume buttons. When the Samsung logo appears, release the power button and keep holding the volume buttons until you are in red recovery. Go to mounts and storage and format system, data, and cache. Then, go back to flash your rom and then reboot. If you're still wanting to throw in the towel, mail it to me and I'll do it for you.

I've put together a package with all that you'll need for adb. Use these instructions to move the files that I mentioned in my earlier post.
First, let's make sure that we are on the same page with drivers, since you have had trouble with both Heimdall and Odin.
1.) Unplug USB cable.
2.) In the Windows Control Panel, go to "Programs and Features" or "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstall any instances of Samsung Kies and SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones.
3.) Download and install THIS version of SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones.
4.) After installing the driver, plug in USB cable, and give Windows a moment to setup the driver. When your connection is ready, a USB cable with a check beside it should appear in the Windows system tray.
You can give Odin another try, and it should work for you now with the new driver, or you can move forward with using adb to do what you need.
1.) Download and unzip THIS adb package.
2.) Browse to the folder containing adb.exe. Hold down shift and right click with the mouse; then choose "Open command window here".
3.) Make sure that you are in CWM recovery, and in the Windows command prompt, type
Code:
adb devices
If all is working correctly, your device should appear in the list.
4.) Place any files that you want to move to the device in the same folder as adb.exe.
5.) Then do this for each file: Type the command below, but replace fullfilename with the full name of the file.
Code:
adb push [I]fullfilename[/I] /sdcard/
When the transfer finishes, you should be able to access the items on your internal sd card. From here you can follow the instructions that I gave in the earlier post.

You have to be in the exact directory as adb.exe or you'll continue to get that error. Go to the exact folder, hold shift and right click the mouse in that folder window. Choose "Open command window here".

Anyone taking time to help you is going to need more to go on than "Not working." I already know that you're in blue recovery. What's the latest on using adb to push a kernel with red recovery to your device so we can get you back to Gingerbread?

Anyone taking time to help you is going to need more to go on than "Not working." I already know that you're in blue recovery. What's the latest on using adb to push a kernel with red recovery to your device so we can get you back to Gingerbread?

I tried pushing a kernel through adb but I didn't see it on my sd card. There were also 4 different choices of kernels (Core A, Core B, etc.). I tried to push A & B but saw neither of them on recovery.

Did you see the transfer in progress in the command line? If so, and if the transfer finished, it's on there. I wonder if you're looking on your external sd card instead of the internal.

Alright, in blue recovery, go to "install zip from sdcard".
Then, go to "choose zip from sdcard". Do you see the items that you pushed with adb listed there? Don't choose "choose zip from internal sdcard". Despite what that sounds like, it's your external sdcard.

ADB won't recognize phone/bootloader/Can't replace recovery HELP!

So basically I found out just today we have Cyanogenmod 10.2 >.<
I downloaded the Joilaroi version, flashed it in TWRP 2.6xx and then suddenly "E: Error in updating binary script" did a bit of googling and found out that it's a common problem with TWRP > 2.3.3.0
So I was about to downgrade it to 2.3.3.0 or temp boot into CWM. Connected my phone to my laptop and went to bootloader, then did Adb devices....the list was empty.
Reinstalled HTC drivers, used different USB port...nothing.
TL;DR : Phone doesn't get recognized in Bootloader mode, Can't flash ROM, Can't replace recovery. Help!

Why don't you flash with terminal emulator?
Just put recovery.img in the root of your sdcard
Open terminal type
su
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
That's it

That's what I'm doing now but I need a proper solution :/ Basically Windows won't recognize my phone through fastboot. I'd rather not keep installing CM9 again and again after a failed flash, you know?

install htc drivers and make dure you cleared the all registry and files from your previous installation and connect your device
open cmd and go to the folder where you placed adb and type command
adb kill-server =>it will close all adb processes running at that time
adb start-server => it will start new adb process
adb devices=> to reconize your device
if it shows your device then through fastboot command flash the recovery
but make sure you have all neccessary binary files in that folder for adb and fastboot
hit thanks if helped

You can try installing the newer Drivers.
Else your usb port may be broken. that is also a possiblity

Hi Guys, I just want to ask if there will be a possible solution on how I will be able to use my phone again. I accidentally deleted the OS and the backup of my OS. When I tried to connect my phone to a pc, the pc wont read my phone. Any possible solution on how will I connect it or any solutions for my problem. I also dont have the custom rom zip on my sdcard anymore.

Ahh..
Just boot into Twrp,connect your device to Pc and transfer any ROM and flash it.Gee,twrp supports mtp,which means you can transfer stuff.Alternatively,if mtp is not working for any reason,you can use usb otg as well.

I forgot to mention you can use adb sideload as well.
Since you've adb drivers installed,boot into twrp,go to advanced and enable adb sideload,connect to PC.Copy the ROM zip in your adb folder(where adb files are situated),press shift and simultaneously hit right button on your mouse,select open cmd here.Now write command "adb devices"(obviously without quotes), if all goes well,you'll see your device Id there,proceed and write command "adb sideload ROM name.zip" (where ROM name= exact name of file you're trying to flash).The flashing progress should start now.
