adb push filename.xxx not working for me!

Hi all,
I want to learn to push files to my phone through adb push command, so I load into bootloader, then type "fastboot devices" , my phone showed up with no problem, but then i type
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
it gives me a message
"error: device not found"
did I do something wrong?

Force install the driver. I had the same problem.

No. You used fastboot. Fastboot commands in fastboot. Adb commands in recovery or android

Thanks for your reply, what do you mean by force install the driver? and do you have the link to the driver or is it included in the SDK already?

If you're still having problems I recommend reading this guide. How to Use “adb sideload” to Update a Nexus Without Root or Custom Recovery
But when you get to the part of the guide where you have to type in "adb sideload <filename.zip>", you might have to refer to this to solve it.
I myself have just installed 4.4.2 using this method. Camera SO much faster now.

[Q] Nexus 5 bricked and USB cable not working

I bricked my Nexus 5 by installing the kernal from touchcontrol.
I can get into recovery mode.
I can not mount the USB storage or access any of my phones files
I've tried installing ADB drivers but that didn't help.
Anyone know what I should do to fix this?

Download the stock kernel zip from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202404 and place it in the fastboot folder. Then reboot in recovery and choose adb sideload. Open cmd and type : adb sideload namekernel.zip and press enter and that should do it, then reboot.

Sorry, you`re right. Well without usb you can`t do anything. Have you made a nandroid backup to restore in recovery?

Hello,
When the phone is in recovery mode, the file explorer won't show up with your nexus files... The fact that a sound is coming proves that the phone is being detected...
If you have setup a working adb environment you can follow what @gee2012 has said and sideload the kernel and flash it... If you haven't then download the android sdk and make sure you have downloaded the usb_driver package as well...

First, don't yet think your phone it's bricked. The actual solution is to get the proper driver on the computer. Remember that nexus 5 does not have Sdcard and there's not way to mount to the computer via recovery. Only ADB PUSH and ADB SIDELOAD will put a Rom into your phone.
You have to check on device manager to see the status of the driver. if t shows as Nexus 5, you will have to update the driver to and adb compatible one. If it says ADB........ then, you are good to go
EDIT: @vin4yak, one day I'll go to ninja school too

1.) If your device is actually bricked then a USB cable will do you absolutely no good. Fixing a "bricked" device is something that will need to be JTAG'd for it to work again. I think you might be mistaken about what a bricked device is. Its pretty hard to brick a nexus device so I highly doubt you're device is bricked.
2.) You have to get into fastboot mode. Just search for how to do so. Then you can flash the stock img's through fastboot and you'll be back in business. I have no clue about what drivers you'll need for your setup as I haven't run windows in 9 years or so. Just get the drivers, fastboot, and get your nexus back.

Why don't you just flash a boot.img from the stock rom? Or going back to stock?
You cannot mount sdcard to the pc in recovery. You have to use adb push or adb sideload.
To make adb work in recovery you need naked usb drivers 0.73.
Then you can adb sideload a rom, or push a rom to /sdcard.
Anyway download my attachment, put your phone to fastboot mode and double click on flash.bat then report me back

Check out this thread. If you can boot into recovery, then you should be able to boot into fastboot and restore your N5 back to stock.

[Q] Deleted my OS! | OnePlus One

Today was the worst day ever. I rooted my phone, and it worked perfectly until today. What happened was that when I updated the Google Play Services, I lost connection anything Google related (No connection) I factory reset my phone 4 times, wiped the internal storage, and it still said that I couldn't connect to the Play Store (E.X Could not establish a reliable connection). So I went into recovery and went to Advanced Wipe, and without knowing so, I deleted my OS! Im so stupid..
I FORGOT I WASN'T AN IT...
For the past two days I've been trying to get back the OS (33R). Heres what I've done
1. Downloaded the XNPH33R OS from their website and tried to install it (says NO MD5 Verification)
2. Tried doing everything about resetting OS.
3. HUGEST PROBLEM : Whenever I try and do (e.g adb sideload <rom.>.zip, or flashing) It just says Error: Device not found
4. Downloaded ADB from the Android Debug Bridge, all of my cmd commands return the same thing.
3. Also a huge problem: When I try to flash, it says (device not unlocked) and then I unlock the bootloader (Im guessing what that is will unlock it) and then I go back to the Recovery and do it again on CMD, it repeats it.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
(If you need more information I will gladly give it to you)

Go into Device Manager, and make sure your OPO is listed as under ADB Interface while the OPO is in bootloader mode. If it's not there then yes install or reinstall the adb driver but make sure you don't have any other devices with a triangle next to it as that may be your OPO.

Does your OPO get listed when you enter "fastboot devices" ? When you had originally rooted and unlocked your OPO had you done it through CMD or a toolkit?

Ok so let me get this straight:
You had originally unlocked your bootloader and rooted through the cmd: "fastboot oem unlock" ?
Did you use this guide by any chance?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
Now you have no installed os and whenever you try to sideload or push stock 33R through adb it gives an error of the device not being found to the adb shell? Or does it complain that the bootloader is unlocked? If the second is happening you might need to reset the unlock and tamper bits,
Sorry if I'm asking something you already stated. I just want to be clear before I recommend anything or try to pull someone who's more experienced in for help.

Yeah I used that guide. And yes, what you stated is true. But another thing is that when I install the ROM, it says No MD5 file, but when I check the zip file, it says that there is a file called md5sum-fastboot.md5, I think that that is what TWRP is saying.

Are you able to use adb to push a zip to your internal storage?

If you can, just push a recovery flashable version of CM11S from here to your phone and flash it with TWRP. No sideload required.

He is right. If you can actually see the internal storage, you should be able to flash a flashable version of stock 33R from TWRP.
Actually if you are on the latest TWRP you can probably use the MTP functions and copy the file over without having to adb push it.
If you don't have the latest TWRP you can download the .img and flash it via the fastboot command. The latest is 2.8.0.1

Phone stuck on boot animation, won't sideload

I unrooted phone to update to Android 5.0.1
Wiped data & cache and tried to reboot but phone won't load past boot animation
I have tried everything I can find online. Phone appears in Device Manager as Android Device, but does not connect to PC when in command prompt.
adb devices shows no devices
when I start phone in fastboot, then recovery mode, I can select to install a file via ADB
when I choose this, and run adb devices in command prompt, it then shows a sideload device
but when I go to load a file, it gives me the same error every time:
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
Is there anything I can do? Please help! Thanks.

What recovery have you got and what file are you sideloading?

All you have to do is restart the phone in bootloader and make a fresh install of factory image via fastboot.

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.
