Cannot access adb or fastboot

I have a nexus 5 and am using wugfresh root toolkit. My phone is unlocked, yet somehow i cannot relock it or install any roms because the toolkit does not read that i have adb drivers or fastboot. unfortunately. to install adb i need fastboot and to use fastboot i first need adb it doesnt make any sense. I cannot figure out how to get it to work properly at all. Please help.

All problems solved !!

The above response appears out of place. In any case regarding the above, try going into stock recovery (android w/red triangle) then press power on button while pressing middle of volume. This should give you the ability to toggle to sideload option. If you choose this option while your phone is connected to a pc, you should have adb access.
Good luck.

Just download the ROM you want to install, reboot to recovery, plug the usb cable and type "adb push (rom name).zip /sdcard/" in a terminal/console window on your PC - without quotes. You need to have installed adb, if you don't have it already just search for an installation guide with Google.

Answer by Motorola Support:
"We regret that after unlocking the bootloader and subsequent modification of your terminal software warranty is voided.
Also, in your specific case, we could not guarantee that your phone can be repaired. If the PCB has been damaged, the cost of repair would exceed the value of the phone, and therefore it would be irreparable."

put a usb otg with the rom in it and flash so it will be fixed!

Just flash stock ROM via bootloader.

Get a rom flashable zip then you can "adb sideload" the file to recovery!

device not found

Well i tried to flash the rom in your way but it is showing an error message: device not found and when i tried to find my device through adb device command... it is showing zero devices attached... pls help and revert asap

You can also try flashing a stock ROM via mfastboot or fastboot commands.

I don't know if this will be any help but sometimes even though adb recognizes my device it says device not found/device offline.
I plug the phone in and type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" it reboots to bootloader and everything works from that point on.

bro,i my adb it shows *cannot read 'sideload'* then what should i command
pliz help btw m using custom rom BissPop3.2

I know this is an old question, but just to share my experience, me too coincidently deleted OS from TWRP. I tried using ADB, but it was not detecting the phone. Then I copied custom ROM (CM 12.1 in my case) to USB drive, connected it with my phone using USB OTG and flashed the ROM. It worked like a charm

If you are able to go to recovery(which you should be able to do), download any custom ROM of your choice like PA, CM, SLIM etc.. flash that rom by following the Installation instructions in the thread. YOu should be able to get the phone back to normal. And if you want the stock ROM, then download the stock files and flash it, you might loose custom recovery, then follow the same things you did to get TWRP in the first place.

I would if I could. The problem is I formatted the whole phone which included the internal storage too. My CM Rom is in the internal storage and it's already deleted. I tried to connect my phone to the pc so that I could transfer a rom into it but failed cause my pc won't recognized my phone as the media transfer devices. It's only recognized my phone as fastboot falcon s. I've installed Motorola Device Manger but it's also failed. I also tried to install using adb sideload but I got device not found error and my phone doesn't listed in the device attached after I typed 'adb devices'. For the OTG and memory card reader method I haven't try yet because I don't have any of it.

What does it say when you try
Code:
adb devices
or
when you reboot to bootloader with phone connected and type
Code:
fastboot devices
If it shows a device for fastboot devices then follow this to flash back to stock. Make sure you download the right stock firmware for your phone.

when I type 'adb devices' it give me an error saying that my device is not found. for the 'fastboot devices', I tried it too but also an error. It say, 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or ecternal command, operable program or batch file.

It seems like you dont have fastboot files. Follow the same link that i posted in the previous one. It has portable adb & fastboot files. Download that and then follow instructions. You should be able to get to fastboot. Once you are there the job is almost done. Hope it helps

I've followed all the instructions but my phone still not rebooting. When I try to reboot it, it only show me the warning of unlocked bootloader screen, black screen, warning of unlocked bootloader screen then dead android screen. What should I do now?

It means your phone is in fastboot mode and recognised by your PC. Next you'll have to "fastboot flash" the necessary files to install a recovery and a system, and you should be good to go.

Few weeks back I ****ed up soft bricked my phone had kindda same issue when I switch my phone on I get a dead android logo. Gave to the service center in India and got a replacement a new xt1033
P.s I was trying to root and my warranty was void still got a new one try your luck bruhhh

Hey, I've done all of the flashing instruction from the xda forum link that you gave me. My problem for now is, why is my phone not rebooting? The only thing that happen after the flashing is my phone only show the 'warning bootloader unlocked' and the dead android with red triangle screen. It won't boot into the stock rom that I've flashed. The stock rom/firmware that I used is correct. Please help me.. I really need to use my phone.

K there's a resolve for this...Provided that you haven't ****ed up your phone by making it hard bricked...
1 - Get a freaking rom and sideload it through TWRP to boot into system...
+ Download a ROM
+ Put it in the same folder as ADB and Fastboot and rename it to something easier that you can type exactly (ex: 1.zip, backup.zip...)
+ Shift + Right Click at a blank field in the window
+ Choose Open Command....
+ On TWRP, go to Advanced => Sideload => Tick the 2 boxes => Swipe to start sideloading
+ Type in adb sideload <yourzipname>.zip on the cmd (on your computer)
+ Wait for the process to finish, then you now have a working phone...
2 - Follow this guide using the proper firmwares that match your original one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

Your PC will not recognize it as media transfer / storage while you are in bootloader / fastboot mode, its perfectly normal. When you type fastboot devices it should show you a number which means it working as intended. This is an old thread but it shows how to transfer your ROM to sdcard via adb push command. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

The output of the "fastboot devices" command clearly shows your phone is recognised by your PC. As I said all you need to do now is use the correct "fastboot flash" commands to restore recovery and system. Tutorials can be found in this forum.

Thank you.
I would like to say thank you to all peoples who help me solving my lost os problem. Thanks for all the informations. My moto G is working perfectly normal right now.

Help Neeed Putting CM12 on Moto G 2013

EDIT
-------------
Thanks for the support from the people below but I have now solved my origonal issue. TWRP didn't seem to be working with me so I downloaded MOTO G 4G/Peregrine Easy Recovery (Credit to the absolute legend who made that) and then installed ClockworkMod instead, which worked perfectly. I have now succsessfully installed CM12 onto myMoto G 4G. If anyone has the same issue and want's some help, just message me.
I am trying to get CM12 into my Moto G 2013 (xt1032) and have hit a problem which I don't know how to solve. I successful unlocked the biitloader on my phone, and attempted to root it. After many different methods, I finally got my phone rooted (not sure which method actually did this) however, I also tried to install TWRP on my phone, and I now don't have a working recovery on my phone.
I have tried all the root apps of installing a recovery, as well as 3 or 4 similarpc methords and non seem to work. I either get the no command screen, or the failed to boot error. If anymore detail is needed, just ask.
If anyone has any ideas on what I can do, I would be very grateful. My desired outcome is to either have TWRP or the Stock Recovery Working and also a working methord on how to install CM12. This is my first time at rooting a phone so please be considerate of the language used in any responses.
Thanks, Dan

I usually use fastboot and a PC but if you are wanting to use an app and are already rooted I have used TWRP manager available in the play store with out issue

TWRP manager is the solution, but I gnrally recommend you to do it using fastboot on a pc

How would I do this? I have fastboot already installed if that is what I need.
Also, what can I do to get the default 'recovery mode' back onto my phone. At the moment, I just get an 'Unable to Boot' error pop up.
Thanks for the quick reply.

https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_falcon#Installing_recovery_using_fastboot
You just need to download recovery file on your computer (I recommend it), boot to bootloader, either by using adb reboot bootloader or by holding Volume Down & Power simultaneously. Then you have to connect phone to your PC (if you haven't done it yet) and flash recovery using fastboot by command "fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img".

After doing this with TWRP, using the same method, I get an 'Unable to Boot' message. I have now however descovered MotoTool AIO and Moto G 4G EasyRecovery which I will try. (Credit to all developers who created that software)

UPDATE!!
I have now fixed my issue and have CM12 installed. Please read the edit in the first post for more infomation. Thanks to everyone who helped.

Can I still install any recovery(CWM or TWRP) after I have forgotten my password?

My question is: Is there any way that i can install any custom recovery now, when I am locked out of my phone, so I can try Method 7 from this post . I have enabled USB debugging, but for some reason, my device is unauthorized from executing adb commands.
I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, and have forgotten its password. I have tried Method 2, 5 and 6 from this post, but to no avail.
I tried method 2 and 5 which requires ADB to be installed, but I was not able to access my phone. I have USB debugging enabled and my phone is not rooted. When I tried to run the following code:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
it showed that my phone is unauthorized and error: device unauthorized This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Here's the screenshot:
When trying method 6, I had to change the path of ADB driver because the file I downloaded from the post, had its own ADB driver which clashed with my already installed ADB driver, but even after that, it again showed the above error. Here' the screenshot:
Finally I want to try method 7 from the above post, which requires custom recovery to be installed on the phone, is there any way now?
Though it seems now that the I have only one option left and that is to factory reset my phone, but if , there is any other way by which I can bypass my lock screen, please please please inform me.

Of course you can. Just boot your phone into fastboot and do "fastboot flash recovery <recovery image name>.IMG" and you'll flash it. And you can't access the adb because your screen is locked... This is how companies prevent phone hacking
So flash custom recovery, backup the /data , factory reset and after resetting restore the /data backup. And you're good to go. I suggest you using TWRP, because I use it and it never left me hanging Keep me updated.

OK... So first boot into fastboot. When you've done that, connect It to your pc with usb, download fastboot package from somewhere on xda(you'll find it).
Open command prompt "CD" to the directory where your fastboot is located in, put recovery image in the folder where fastboot.exe is and type "fastboot flash recovery <recovery file name>.IMG". I'm gonna update this answer in 2 days, when I get to my pc, so try to do it by these instructions, if something isn't working, comment and we'll resolve the problem. If something isn't clear, just ask. Keep me updated.

Can unlocking my bootloader somehow brick my phone?

Everything can brick your phone. Updating my lenovo phone with official update hardbricked mine... But yeah, it can.
