My phone recently got completly stuck on the google screen, and the only thing i can do is get into bootloader, and then go into recovery to get into CWM. I have the Cyanogenmod 11 ROM on my computer. I open cmd, and i do the "adb push" command, with the file name of the ROM, but it never works. Solutions? What is the exact command I have to give to push the rom onto my phone??
thanks

If your using Windows XP that won't work to open command prompt. You can either go to the folder where the ROM and adb are and highlight and copy the directory path from the address bar and paste it into command prompt and put cd' in front of the directory path or
In command prompt type:
cd' user/documents/adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140321/sdk/platform tools
adb push cyan.zip /sdcard/

It means that the directory you're entering doesn't exist.. You're goofing up while typing in the command prompt! What I don't understand is, how were you able to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery if you aren't able to execute simple adb commands? Unlocking the bootloader uses fastboot but the navigation to the directory is the same.
My suggestion would be to delete the android sdk from that path and install it in an easy path like : "E:/sdk/platform-tools"... So that it would be easier for you...
Well, if you still can't set it up properly, then use an OTG cable to flash the rom via a flash drive...
@vin4yak Go through this thread to know where he went wrong.

Hello iam using windows vista and xp and I had the same.problems on both. I downloaded the ADB program which gave me 5 seperate files. and downloaded thedrivers for my moto Atrix. But I was told not to run the adb.exe but to look for a run command line prompt. Where and how do I find this. And where do I go to run the commands?

Hey
press the start button (bottom left), on start menu you should see "run" with a small icon looks like a dialogue box (might be below search), press this. in the dialogue pop up type CMD.
Tho you will prob need to set up Environment Variables before you can use ADB.

Then you have to go to folder where "adb.exe" is...
For example if you have it in "c:\adb_folder" you have to type "cd adb_folder".......
Then your command line will be like this → C:\adb_folder>
Then, if you want to test if your device is connected properly you have to type "adb devices" and you will see your device listed....
If not, there is a problem.....

Before you can use adb command, you have to direct the terminal to the location of the folder where adb is located.
If the location of the file adb is at C:\\windows\androidsdktools\tools\adb
In your terminal type
cd \
Press enter, then type,
cd windows\androidsdktools\tools
Now the terminal should be in the folder where adb is located.
adb devices
A better way in my opinion to use adb is to set the path so it is usable from anywhere, simple easy and no need to always cd the path

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.

open the folder where you extracted the tarbal
hold down shift and right click
open command prompt here
do a "fastboot devices" to check if your device is connected
continue flashing using the commands.

Easiest way is to extract the sh1t out of the Google file until you eventually see all the img files. Then extract the fastboot zip into the same folder they're in and open a command prompt there.

People refer to the folder with ADB and fastboot in it as the ADB folder (If you had adb/fastboot in the system path this wouldn't even be required)

Hi All, I hope someone can help.
I got this phone in December, and unlocked it, flashed TWRP and rooted.
My phone automaticly updated and was on version 7.1.2. But Super SU wasnt working anymore.
I tried to boot into TWRP but it was saying somthing like "No command given" when I tried.
I used Skipsoft toolkit to flash the recovery again (What I originally used) and when the phone rebooted, it gets to the Google logo and instantly reboots.
I can get to bootloader, but if I select recovery, it reboots.
Is there anything I can do here?
I did a backup in TWRP before I flashed, its stored on the phone.
Thanks in advance
I would use the tool to go back to stock. Just pick the last Google is the app I believe its V. Either update to the lastest software or I just flashed a rom with the newest vender
Hi, Thanks for your reply.
How can I do this though, I cant get the phone to boot, or into recovery
Is there a way I can use adb to push a TMRP so I can restore my backup?
My PC makes the noise as if something is attached by USB, but when I do adb devices, nothing shows.
Hi all,
I managed to sort it out and restore to original as advised above with fastboot. Never used it before, but I followed this guide and it worked great.

When doing that, I got the following returned in the CMD prompt:
'flash-all.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
In the CMD prompt, make sure you're in the folder where you extracted the contents of the zip file.

'flash-all.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

In the CMD prompt, make sure you're in the folder where you extracted the contents of the zip file.

As X04D states you need to be in the correct directory. Hold shift and richt click in the folder where the files are located and press "Open command prompt here" then try again.

I probably should have clarified, but by quoting step 7 as the point it failed, I meant to imply that I had performed steps 1-6. Step 6 is the "open command prompt here" step.

That error means flash-all.bat is not in the same directory as the command prompt you opened. You unzipped it elsewhere, didn't unzip it or you opened the command prompt in the wrong place.
Flash this file after flash other files

What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to finish the root process on a pixel 4a 5g on Windows 7. It won't find the files. I tried these commands CD Download, CD\ flash boot flashing unlock. I tried as well on my Mac with no success. I'm on the last step!

Well, is it a valid directory?

Make sure the files are in the same directory as adb/fastboot. Open the folder and type cmd in the address bar of the folder. I haven't been on windows for a spell but if I remember, that should open a command prompt in the directory.

I believe so, I originally had the folder on the desktop, I then decided to move to the download folder with no success.

While your in the ".../Downloads/system-tools" directory runthe following in the PowerShell:
Code:
dir
This will return a list of folders and directories in that folder. If "Downloads" is not listed, it is not a valid directory.

Well, your assumption must be correct. The directory must not be valid. I went and looked up the steps to try and make it valid. I'm still having issues. I put plat form tool on my c drive/Android folder. Then advanced settings to edit the environment variables. Set the location, Im still having issues running adb though

What kind of issues? Is it not recognising your phone? A common problem is not having the right drivers. You need the Google USB driver. There may also be the issue where it recognises the phone in ADB but not fastboot or vice versa.

I believe the OP is trying to enter a specific directory in order to run a command, but he can't find the correct directory:

Ah! I think I see now. If I understand it, there's confusion between the directory and command. The easiest way is to open file explorer, navigate to the directory you want and type cmd in the address bar. This will open a command prompt in the desired directory, no need to CD anything.
After that the commands are simple: fastboot devices, fastboot flashing unlock.
Just to clarify, its FASTboot(one word) and not flash boot
