Says my phone is connected fine and everything, but when I click on install (android central sideloader app) I get this:
adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
How do I fix this?
download sdk from google place the apk in the tools folder shift+right click on tools open command prompt.
adb devices (make sure your phone is connected with charge only and debugging on)
adb remount
adb push ./(apk name) (space)/system/app

Download Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract it
Find Tools Folder in SDK Directory - copy/paste apk file in this folder.
click tools folder - press shift + Right to open command prompt
in command prompt type: adb devices then enter (this will make sure your phone is recognized and in the right state so you can continue)
in command prompt type: adb remount then enter (for lack of better terms...this prepares your phone)
in command prompt type: adb push ./(apk name) (space)/system/app then enter (this will transfer the apk to your phone.)
Ok I think that's right...I'm still learning adb and all involved. If I'm wrong, one of you more experienced guys correct me.
the phone also needs to be in charge only and go to settings>applications>debugging, debugging will have to be on.

let me guess: Is the Ac_SWM folder on your desktop?
It needs to be in the root directory of your C: drive since the batch files are looking there.
In other words, it needs to be c:\AC_SWM, not "c:\documents and settings\<yourname>\desktop\ac_swm"
All right guys, I know I should search the forum, but I have no time now, this is what's going on: I tried to install CF3D's plugin on my Transformer, but it went darn bad, I can't get past Asus' "powered by tegra" screen, and I need this by tomorrow, for my class, how do I fiz this?! I unlocked it, running TWRP v 0.2.2.3., can't remeber my rom's name but it's a mod of the CleanRom, v3.1 that's all I know. I think I can fix this by re-flashing my rom, but I don't know if I can put files into my SD only with TWRP in my hands, if not is it a real brick?? Please, help me!!!

I don't understand "if I can put files into my SD only with TWRP in my hands", you don't have a pc where you can copy the rom to your sdcard? BTW you should be using twrp 2.3.1.0.
I actually have my PC here with me,
but like I said im not sure I can connect it to the pc since it will be on recovery, you know, like an MTP or mass storage, can TWRP do that?

You can't take the sdcard out and put it to your pc, copy the rom from pc to sdcard then put it back to your device? or you could use adb to push the file and hope adb is working on your pc.

Try this,
Copy the rom.zip to the directory where your adb.exe is, then boot your device to twrp (home screen).
On your pc type
adb push rom.zip /Removable/MicroSD then hit enter (this copy the rom.zip from your pc to the root of your microsdcard.
If you see bunch of number and bytes and time then it's working.

You don't move the adb.exe, where ever the adb command located, you need to open command prompt and navigate to the adb.exe folder. Asus Sync is located in C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Sync and so is the adb.exe. so open command prompt and type:
cd\ hit enter, this bring you to root Ccomputer displayed C:\>
type:
cd Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Sync hit enter, you're now in the Asus sync folder (this is where your rom.zip should be in also)

I thought that you already have adb working on your PC, but seems like you don't. You need to download Android SDK and once installed, you can use adb command from this SKD. Here is the link to how install Android SDK. It shouldn't take no more than 10 min. Just download and run the install, only select packages with the word "Android name" should be only 2. Once you done this, adb and fastboot should work fine. You also need Java, but like 99% ppl with a PC should already had Java installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616059
This tool is very important in rooting, recovery, flash stuff to your device. So I recommend you install this and get it working, it will save you a lot of time and headache in the future.
EDIT; If you think you have all the components already installed, you could download the adb/fastboot package here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1403567&d=1350299936 , unzip it to your C drive, you will have a folder called "Install recovery", in this folder there's adb and fastboot command, and then open cmd navigate to this folder and execute adb command line I provide previously see if that works.

If you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1350299936 download the zip file then unzip to your drive. In this new folder you should see adb.exe and fastboot.exe and a few dll files. Do you see them??? Make sure your anti-virus doesn't strip the files.

Oh man, this sucks, it says 404 page not found, didn't you cpy the wrong link?
i have a slight problem. i grabbed the ubuntu touch alpha and went in to recovery, loaded it (according to thread instructions) but ended up with a bootloop.
in the end i thought "lets just put another rom back on for now" and then realised i had deleted the other rom from the sdcard! so i'm stuck with it not booting in to ubuntu, and not able to get another rom on as it doesn't boot in.
can i connect to the internal sdcard area myself by plugging the usb in to the pc or something?
i have twrp loaded as recovery
thanks
ah, TWRP adb sideload to the rescue!
problem
my problem is stuck in boot screen after i did super wipe full what should i do? i have cwm 5.5.0.4. i try flash from sd put it says no files found

The issue, Superwipe wipes the internal /sdcard/ and also this is where it flashes from.
You need to boot to recovery and then use ADB to push files to the sdcard.
If you have never used ADB, it can be a bit daunting.
First, you need adb from the Android SDK. It is a big file for the few you need. I have a copy of the relevant ADB files here: https://db.tt/b9dQ6xzp
Unzip this to c:\adb folder on windows. If you are using Linux, it should already have adb in the /usr/bin/ folder.
Next, you need the Universal Naked Drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1934814&d=1367674531
Unzip these to c:\universal_naked_drivers
Boot to CWM and then plug in your USB cable. It should show a new device found. It may find 2, an MTP and then there should be another either Unknown device or an Android ADB device. Right click and update the driver. Be sure to search for driver, then tell it you want to pick from a list. Hit the Have Disk button and then hit the browse button and browse to c:\universal_naked_drivers and hit OK. It should show you a driver to select and hit OK. If you are using Win 8, there is an additional step that is required to used non-signed drivers.
Once the driver is updated, download the zip file you want to flash on your PC. I assume it is a ROM.zip file for this example. Place this file in the c:\adb folder and call it ROM.zip (can be named something else, but this is what we will use for this example).
Now, open a command prompt and execute the following:
Code:
> [B]c:[/B]
c:\> [B]cd c:\adb[/B]
c:\adb> [B]adb devices[/B]
It will probably say some messages about the daemon is not running, restarting adb.
Then it should show a list. There should be some numbers followed by "recovery"
If no devices are shown, check that your ADB device is showing in the Device Manager.
Once you see it in the adb devices list, continue:
Code:
c:\adb> [B]adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/[/B]
successfully pushed xxx bytes
c:\adb>
At this point you should now see the ROM.zip file on the internal storage in CWM to allow you to install it.
Choose to install the file then reboot (not to recovery). You have to let it flash the file (progress bar will show). Once the screen goes black and the progress bar disappears, it should now boot to your ROM..
If your ROM requires a custom kernel and/or GAPPS to be flashed, use the same procedure to push your kernel.zip and GAPPS.zip to the /sdcard/ directory.

I've been following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237&nocache=1 to set up ADB for my phone and macbook, and when i try the "./adb devices" command to try and ID my device, it isn't working. Ive already downloaded the SDK package from the website, copied and pasted "adb" and "fast boot" into the root of my sdk file in the bundle. I included some snapshots in case I'm inputting the file path incorrectly. Any help would be awesome! My power button stopped working on my phone so I'm trying to set up ADB so i can just adb reboot whenever my phone shuts off or anything like that. The first screenshot is my current file path for the adb and fastboot files and the second is just my attempts at trying the "./adb devices" command.

First, it's impossible to access your phone's adbd server when it is off.
And adb needs to be in the current folder.
Use ls to see the contents of the folder you are in.
You should try ./adb first.
It's better to boot hirens boot cd.
Then use the tool in my signature.
An even better way to do this is to trust your technolust and take your phone apart and try to identify and fix the problem, or put it back to stock and send it in for warranty.

Your welcome!
I'm happy to help any time.
the . indicates the current folder(directory)
so when you type ./adb
it executes the adb file in . (the current folder)
ls is a command for listing the contents of the current folder. (Just like the dir command on windows)
Before you type ./adb you would want to make sure that adb is in . (The current folder)
Get it?

Thank you for all your help!
Section A would be for me but on MAC i dont know how to open a command prompt.. i have the renamed zip file in my platform-tools location as ordered but how do i get "adb reboot recovery" working?
My phone is connected to the MAC with an USB and Debugging is enabled through the developer - options...
Im new in this forum but i havent found any thread like this so would be aweseome if you could help here?
Would it be easier to root my device on a mac and then flash it on my nexus directly? just read too much forum stuff but im just a beginner!
so lets see what this forum got
Section A: adb sideload
NOTE:Make sure you have the latest version of adb. It seems people are having issues with older versions. It's attached at the bottom of this post.
1) Download the OTA.zip on your PC, rename the file update.zip, then place file in the same directory as adb.
2) Make sure you have USB Debugging checking in the Developer Options, then connect your phone.
3) Open the command prompt from the directory above on your PC and type the command: 'adb reboot recovery'
4) When in recovery, you’ll see an android laying down. Press volume up and release. The menu will appear. Select “apply update from adb”
5) Using the command prompt type: 'adb sideload update.zip' The file will load and the update will begin.
6) When completed, select reboot.

?
ok i had this then already running but "adb reboot recovery" doesnt do anything then!
will i have to put another phrase in front? im stuck on 4.4.4....
I believe you have to type ./adb or whatever command you want to use. That's just how Unix works. So ./adb sideload update.zip. Try that.

first, it may be easier to cd to your platform-tools directory. So is the adb command being accepted by terminal? As I said earlier, I am pretty sure you have to type ./adb for the adb command, unless you changed that in your bash_profile
So, type:
cd /Users/kristofgervautz/Desktop/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702\ 2/sdk/platform-tools
then:
./adb sideload update.zip
while making sure you are in STOCK recovery and selected "apply update from adb"
