I installed the Android L Developer Preview a while back. Turned out to be really buggy (suprise, suprise) and I wanted stock android back. Adb sideload wasn't working at all though so I just installed Cyanogenmod instead. But first, naturally, I made a backup in Clockworkmod Recovery. This is where the trouble started. Cyanogenmod didnt work for some reason so I reinstalled the backup. I forgot to wipe the cache and dalvik cach, but that isn't the problem, I don't think. Because no matter how many times I wipe those, factory reset, reinstall backups, etc. the phone shows the Google logo for about 10 seconds and then sends me back into Clockworkmod Recovery. I have tried everything, and now ADB isnt working.
Hey usc41, here's a method you could that has always saved my Nexus 5 any time it goes wrong.
1. Connect your device to your PC via a USB cable. Make sure your device is switched off.
2. Make sure you have the Google Drivers (Nexus 5 drivers) installed. And make sure ADB works on your PC.
3. Download a Nexus 5 ROM, something reasonable (We'll use that as a recovery ROM).
4. Now grab your N5, boot it into Bootloader mode. Select Reboot to Recovery.
5. Make sure everything's connected well. Your PC should detect something is connected to it.
6. Open CMD and link the Command Window to your ADB location. For example - type in cd /path/to/adb/directory and hit enter.
7. Type - adb devices
Your device should be listed in the cmd window as (recovery) .
8. Push the file (ROM) to your device, like this - adb push /path/to/downloaded/rom /sdcard
9. Now once its done pushing the file. In recovery, wipe your data, cache, and dalvik cache.
10. Flash the ROM (it should be in the root of your sdcard.

I flashed eos-tf101-20130704-121, and it does not boot. I've tried several times, and I made sure to wipe the system, cache, etc. why is it not working?
also, how do I get into download mode?
That's an ancient build of a dead ROM project
KatKiss is the new EOS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362764
Unfortunately, I don't have a spare sd card, and I can't seem to get download mode to work, so I was hoping I could install the ROM update, and install KatKiss. I am working on getting KatKiss though!
If yo boot to recovery you can use ADB to push files to your tablets internal memory to flash.

you have to wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the rom

no luck.
Im going to guess that you have CWM Recovery installed ?
If yes, that is likely the reason for it not booting
You'll need to put the TF into APX Mode (Volume up & Power while connected to the PC > USB)
Nothing will appear on the TF screen, but the PC should recognise it
Follow the instructions here to get TWRP Recovery installed instead

You need adb from the Android SDK. I have a zip of the files you need here: http://db.tt/b9dQ6xzp
Unzip these to c:\adb\
Plug your tablet in using the USB cable. Your computer should detect a new device. Update the driver with the Naked Drivers 0.72 ADB driver found in the Dev forum (I think it is on page 2 of threads). If you are running Win 8, there are some extra steps to allow you to use this driver.
Once your devices shows in the device manager as an ADB device, open a command prompt and type the following:
Code:
c:
cd c:\adb
adb devices
At this point, it will probably restart the daemon and then it should show a recovery device. If it does, you can proceed. If not, check that your cable is good, and that an ADB device is showing in the device manager.
Grab the ROM of choice and any GAPPS and kernel that you want to move over to your device. Put them in the c:\adb folder. They will be referred to a ROM.zip, GAPPS.zip and kernel.zip going forward.
Execute the following:
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
adb push GAPPS.zip /sdcard/
adb push kernel.zip /sdcard/
Note there is a space between the zip and the /sdcard/. If you omit this space it will not work.
After each time the "adb push" is executed, it may take up to 10 minutes to push the file depending on how big it is. Just be patient until it says it was pushed successfully.
Once this is done, you should see these files in the internal memory of your device when in recovery.
thanks! got it to work.

It appears as if you have installed some kind of rooting tool. The reason why the phone boots up normally after you choosing Recovery is because you don't have a custom recovery tool installed.
To solve this same problem, I factory reset my phone. (this is assuming that you have windows) To do this, install the Motorola Device Manager (google it and find the motorola support page, you can download it there) and reboot your computer.
Then connect the usb cable to your computer and download the android SDK platform tools from here -
ht tp://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
^remove the space in ht tp because i can't post links
Extract the /sdk/platform-tools folder to a location which you can easily access.
Then, open command prompt and type
Code:
cd [mydirectory]
for example, if i stored the platform-tools folder on my desktop, i would type
Code:
cd C:\Users\[myusername]\Desktop\platform-tools
then open the bootloader (fastboot) by holding POWER and VOLUME-DOWN instead of just the power button when trying to boot.
OR type this into command prompt (your phone has to be turned on for this)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then, once your phone is in the bootloader (do not press anything on your phone at this point), type this in command prompt
Code:
fastboot -w
Remember, this will wipe all your user data / cache but it should make your phone work again. I'm not sure how to do this without factory resetting so if there are any users who are more experienced, feel free to post your better solution. thank you.
Thanks
Thank you so much currently I can't try out your method but it looks like it could work THANK YOU SO MUCH I'm going to try tonight and I'll tell you how it went. I really don't mind factory resetting as long as it saves my phone im all right thanks again :laugh:!!!

Will factory reset erase root??
One more thing I actually am currently rooted by using RockMyMoto so I think that is why the update didn't work but 1 last question when I factory reset will it erase root? I don't mind if it erases root but my main concern is that if root somehow stays I won't be able to do the software update.

Tried the method and it worked!!
I tried what you said and it worked perfectly but it still remembers my Wifi, wallpaper and all it showed the setup screen and I set it up so hopefully im in the clear the phone is downloading the update right now.
It will not allow the update and you will still end in boot loop. Need to remove root first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577029
(my phone is rooted)I recently installed the android l on my nexus 5 using Nexus root tool kit.It was glitching so i installed 4.4.4.Then whenever i put my nexus 5 on it started saying google search stopped working and also gmail.So i did some other stuff.And now t is stuck on the google logo when i try and put it on.I held the three buttons and went into recover mod.I cleared the cache partition and also wiped my phone.Still it is stuck in the google logo please please please help im really scared.
Simple tutorial -
1. Download a ROM for your Nexus 5, any stable one is fine.
2. Make sure you have downloaded all the needed files for the ROM you are going to flash.
3. Boot your N5 into recovery mode and plug in your USB cable.
4. Make sure you have adb tools on your PC. If not, download the adb tools from Google. Or you can get it when you download the SDK.
5. Move the ROM you have just downloaded to your desktop. And the extra files if there is any.
6. Open cmd and link it to your adb folder. ie - cd c:/path/to/adb/folder
7. Inside the cmd window, push the rom.zip file to your device like this. adb push /path/to/desktop/rom.zip /sdcard
8. Do the same thing with the extra files you have downloaded, if there is any.
9. Once transfered, in recovery mode. Simply wipe data and cache. Then flash the rom. Reboot your device.
10. Have some hot cocoa because you just fixed your Nexus 5.

Let me know how it works out for you
Hello all.
I know there are many threads of this kind but nothing worked for me. So Please help!
I unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and flashed SuperSU binaries. Everything was working fine.
Then I wanted to flash cm12 nightly. So i downloaded the zip file and also the Gaaps.zip file. I transfered them to the phone and booted to recovery.
1. Then instead of wiping cache i wiped the whole system i.e factory data reset. So then i tried reboot it says NO OS INSTALLED! do you want to continue? After that "Your phone is not rooted. Install SuperSU? As i don't have the SuperSU files so it just reboots to the bootscreen and stays there. I can go to the recovery and fastboot mode.
2. then i booted to recovery and went to adb sideload. I have the ADB files on my desktop and pasted the ROM.zip file to the folder.
3. Then i tried the command adb sideload ROM.zip with my phone connected. But then a lot of coding appears in the cmd window and phone stays at adb sideload.
4. When i connect my phone to my pc in recovery It comes up as "One" in the disk drives. I open it and it has a folder named TWRP and inside thata file. Nothing else. The good thing is I have a nandroid backup of my device when it had SuperSU binaries.
*the "One disappears when I go to ADB sideload in my phone*
So can I transfer the backup to my phone in a separate folder named "Backups" and install it via restore in TWRP? Or do have to do something else?
Please help! Please! :crying:

Hello
So here is my problem :
I made a backup of my xt1032 (motoG) with CM13 with TWRP. I pulled the TWRP file in /sdcard on my PC to not accidentaly delete it.
Before restoring my save, I wiped my internal storage, data, system, dalvikcache and cache. Then i wanted to push my backup from my PC to my sdcard (or anywhere on my phone), so i entered this :
Code:
adb push TWRP /sdcard/TWRP
Nothing happended, CMD.exe was stuck after jumping a line, I waited for 1 or 2 hours... nothing. So i tried to push in an other place my backup by entering this in CMD :
Code:
adb push TWRP /TWRP
But it is the same :/. Do you know what can I do? My phone is blank and I can only access to fastboot and recovery. I tried to adb sideload a stock ROM and CM13, but it does not work...
Thanks a lot ! :fingers-crossed:
Ok it works, I reinstalled SDK android !
I don't know if it could have worked if i just uninstalled/reinstalled the platform tools with SDK Manager, I didn't try.
I think I had some trouble with it because I remember I installed the last adb version manually on internet...
So this thread can be closed
