Sounds like you don't have the path to the image file correct. Open a cmd prompt in the same directory as the image file is in
Edit, have the image file in the same directory as fastboot.exe and open the command prompt there

Damn! I really want to try this but I cant write to my system directory. It wont mount R/W.
Also, you say there should be 2 files but there is only 1 in the zip file.

if your partitions are not the same as below change the mmcblk1pXX to your correct block ( to find your block partitions in adb shell or terminal on device
Code:

Ok sounds good yhe only thung i ask if that if u are uploading via 3g that u verify the md5 after word to ensure they r not corrupted
An u can verify with android app
Also it will be a lot quicker if u zip the three files before uploading ( before zip all three files r almost 800mg and after zip only 300ish )

So that is why I posted it here.

You have to cd (change directory) first. So open terminal than type cd.
Than if i remember right you keep tapping the space bar until you see the adb folder.Once there than run the adb commands.
Yep i'm pretty sure that's right because in Windows you tap the tab key
If i helped hit the thanks button!

if you don't have adb installed it's pointless, 2 possibilities either you have adb installed but are not currently in the directory where it resides (you then need to navigate to the right directory using the cd command) or you don't and you need to install it and then go to that directory.

that's just not possible with the error message you get...you either not in the right directory or it's not installed.
Go to the directory where you think adb is and type ls and post the results.
Are you sure your USB debugging is on

He is right though. That error message can only mean it's not in the directory or you typed the name wrong. Are you sure there's not something simple you're overlooking? Sometimes we geeks over think things. I'm not a mac user but that error message is pretty clear.

As Redpoint said if you want help you need to try to follow instructions. you posted adb_mac after i asked you to perform an "ls"in your directory so that made sense as far as getting a "no such file or directory" error if you execute by doing ./adb. Either it's not there, it's corrupted,there is typo or wrong directory, that's the only time you will get this error maybe you just want to try re-installing adb in your directory of choice.
go to directory where adb reside type "ls" and post a screenshot

[Q] Need help fixing Device Tampered.

I have a LG nexus 5 and started playing around with software, Installed cyanogenmod to see what it had to offer.
Now I want to go back and I have succeeded in that but when I type fastboot oem device-info in cmd it says that the device has been tampered with.
I have access to Android toolkit PRO for nexus 5 so if anyone can give me a short guide step by step I would be very thankful.
For your information I have tried alot of different solutions none seem to work.

1.2 fastboot flash a recovery
1.3 flash the tamper fix zip

Then you're doing it wrong. You need to type the path to the recovery. So if it's in c drive
fastboot flash recovery c:\twrp.img
Or if it's on your desktop
fastboot flash recovery c:\users\senseiblaze\desktop\twrp.img
Also note, the file must be called twrp.img. if it's called recovery.img, adjust your commands accordingly. It's also Case sensitive.
All basic stuff that every rooted user should know

Instead of flashing the twrp recovery boot from it.
Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Because as far as I can remember flashing that zip will also lock the bootloader.

I'm from Sweden so I rly didn't understand what you meant by that last sentence
Also I noticed your file is called "TWRP.img" but the file directly above it is called "setup". Usually I would expect it to be "setup.exe" which means that you probably have the "hide extensions for known file types" set in windows explorer > organize > folder options...
If you turn this off, I'm hoping you'll see that you actually have TWRP.img.img which is of course, incorrect

weird adb sideload problem

Hi guys
After a few weeks on f2fs i decided to revert back y filesystem to ext4. Everything goes well except sideloading new rom to my device ( as its completely wiped ) Everything is now formated to ext4. Then the problem starts..
When I'm trying to sideload the rom i get error 'cannot read' even though I've put rom in my adb folder and my device is connected in sideload mode.
If someone could help me via team viewer ( free software allowing you to use my PC from yours PC ) it would be super great.
Thanks
When you type adb devices is your phone recognized?

Must give the path to your ROM zip. Your cmd prompt runs from c: \users\koppa but the ROM is not there.
You can't put the ROM in the adb folder. That only works if. You haven't added adb to your environment variable path and you have cd to that location
To get this to work either put the ROM in c: \users\koppa or cd to your adb folder or give the full path in the command

I don't think rootSU or I are going to pm you. The answers here can help others and it's best to keep them here. Did you put the rom.zip in the folder rootSU suggested?
okay
I just thought that you could help with this via TeamViewer so i could learn how to and you know, not spend another hour or two doing super basic things.
+yes
What directory is your ROM.zip?

A neat little trick with Windows and cmd is to back out of the folder you are in. So, if the path was C:\Users\toster jp\adb, back out to the C:\Users\toster jp folder. Hold shift and right click the adb folder. Select Open command window here. Then, cmd automatically cd to the proper directory. Then your adb sideload rom.zip will work.

Be explicit please
Also don't forget you must enable sideload in recovery
