i am very new so please speak to me like i have 50 IQ points (im actually not far off). i can get the powershell to open on my pc then when i try
PS C:\platform-tools> adb devices
List of devices attached
R9WN113HXVJ device
it works, but when i try any commands that start with fastboot, the window just hangs. Do i need to be in the bootloader for fastboot? does TWRP need to be installed first?
#2. I am trying to get an image off of my tablet and the tutorial says i need to enter....
" adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img " I am assuming its supposed to mean....
"adb pull /sdcard/Download/NAME OF FILE ON TABLET.tar"... which is "magisk_patched_ZRwve.tar"
if i am trying to "pull" from the tablet, where does it put this file on my PC?

No worries friend, everyone starts somewhere and IQ is not a real scientific measurement. Now let's clear some things:
You're not in fastboot mode if you didn't recognize it immediately. To enter fastboot from adb, use:
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
and no you don't need twrp to access fastboot mode.
The correct way to use pull looks like this:
Code:
adb pull <path of file to pull> <path of destination on pc>
for example:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/YOURFILENAME C:\platform-tools\
Also from context of your question, i assume you want to root your phone. Something helpful to remember, you don't need to flash TWRP to root, you can just boot into it without permanently changing your recovery by using this command in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot nameoftwrp.img
from there flash magisk and you're done

i am being told that there is no fastboot for Samsung devices, however your commands within powershell all worked, i managed to drag my file over. thank you!
you said "now flash magisk" like its something everyone knows. I have magisk manager on my tablet now and I have a magisk.zip on my PC. I am using a program called ODIN for flashing Samsung devices but i cant seem to put all of these pieces together to root or flash my phone.
any advice?

Hi everyone,
I have looked everywhere on google and have been at this for over 5 hours now. I have tried rooting my phone from 3 different PCs (XP SP3, SP2 and 7). With all of them i have managed to get the drivers for adb installed (after many problems) and got all the way to the fastboot part of the rooting.
Once i get there, i have the same problem on all 3 PCs. ADB can no longer find my phone! Following the instructions, i checked for the device before i powered it off and found it by doing abd devices in cmd prompt. The moment the device is powered off and then back on, bam! No more device!
I am at my wits end at this point and just don't know what else I could possibly do! I would be immensely grateful for ANY advice.
I did check that my device allowed USB debug so that's not it either.
Also, my phone is a Rogers phone and I have just put through the upgrade they sent this morning.
adb cant find your phone in fastboot mode but fastboot can
Try writing fastboot devices instead of adb devices
All the comands in fastboot mode start with fastboot...e.g fastboot flash xxx xxx.img
I ran into this problem as well on my attempt, I forgot to re-enable (or enable) depending on where I was at "usb debugging" which is in:
settings> applications > development > check the usb debugging box.
After that, when you do abd devices in your shell, it should surely list after that. Good luck!
edit-- woops scratch that.. sorry I just read back that you made sure of that.
Thank you for that!
Now, i see it in fastboot, but when i try typing fastboot boot recovery.img i get a "cannot load recovery.img"
Sorry, apparently i need a lot more hand holding than i though!
(this is where I am getting the instructions from HowardForums. I'd post the link but I can't do that yet on this forum...
Basically, these are the instructions i am following:
If the phone you have is an HTC Magic (no hardware keyboard), the method is pretty much the same. I modified Haykuro's zip with files that were meant for the Magic. You can grab it here:
*link*
Again, open another command prompt as steps 2, and 6-8 are entered in the command prompt.

3. apply update. (LET IT FINISH, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL YOUR PHONE IS COMPLETELY IDLE. DO NOT TOUCH AFTER FIRST REBOOT (WHEN CHIP APPEARS) UNLESS YOU LIKE A BRICK. )
4. reboot out of recovery mode.
5. power off phone, hold back button and power to boot into fastboot again
6. fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. fastboot reboot
enjoy!
These are pretty much the Haykuro instructions for the Dream, which I modified to apply to the Magic. The boot and recovery images were made by Amon_RA. Happy Rooting!
Just like with the Dream, the first part flashes a good SPL, the second flashes a rooted boot and recovery. The easiest way to test if the device is rooted is to open another command prompt in the tools dir and type
Code:
adb root
If it returns that adb is already running in root, then you're all set.

Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks so much!
You need to navigate to the folder where you saved your recovery.img
For example if you put it on d:/Android dev. you will need to do (inside cmd)
d: (switches to drive d
cd d:/Android dev. (changes the folder to android dev.)
and then issue the fastboot command
without the brackets of course...

Again, thank you so much! It seems I am still having issues as now I'm being told that "remote not allow".... is this a rogers thing?
Again i do apologize for all the hand-holding necessary here
yes, i am getting this <remote:not allow> message too. I was able to fix my other magic (purchased in october) via fastboot boot recovery.img but not this new one i have (purchased in Dec).
Anyone have any ideas how to bypass this block of 'remote, not allowed"?
[REF] Installing Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial
I did not back up the files as was optional and now need these files...
Please email them to me at [email protected] zipped would be great
Thanks so much!!!:laugh:

PS I'm getting the red screen on boot...[Troubleshooting
1. Red screen upon reboot: You didn't check the checkbox in FireFlash to flash the Amazon OS 7.2.3 bootloader, causing the 7.3.x bootloader to crash, hence the red screen. ]
Step 2: Grabbing Files and Backing Up
Once you're rooted successfully, you need to grab the files we'll need for the installation. Go to Hashcode's thread: Kindle Fire 2nd-bootloader + TWRP for the Kindle Fire HD 7. Download ONLY two files: the TWRP recovery image, and the freedom-boot image. That's all, and transfer both of those to the root of the sdcard, now you can move on to Step 3: Installation if you wish to skip backing up.
I will go through the steps to backup. Remember that it is not mandatory that you do this; should you follow the guide very closely, you do not require backing up whatsoever. This just serves as an extraneous step for those who feel comfortable working with ADB and would like to participate in modding the device, in which case these files would come in handy in case the device is bricked. Again, it is NOT mandatory.
Connect the device to the computer through a normal USB cable, turn on ADB through settings. Open up the command prompt (CMD) on your computer: hold down the Windows key, and press R. This will open up Run, type "cmd" and hit Enter. Now, enter the following lines of code one-by-one, wait for a line to finish before going to the next one.
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/stock-boot.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/stock-system.img"
mkdir C:\KFHD7Backup
adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img/ [C:\KFHD7Backup]
adb pull /sdcard/stock-recovery.img/ [C:\KFHD7Backup]
adb pull /sdcard/stock-system.img/ [C:\KFHD7Backup]
Now open up the Computer folder, and in the C: drive you will find a folder called "KFHD7Backup" with all of those files that you just pulled in there. Once you're at this stage, you have finished backing up. Take that folder and put it somewhere safe, on a USB drive, or an external flash drive.
If you need to flash these to restore the device in case you have bricked it, boot into fastboot mode (if you have the fastboot cable, plug it into the device and the computer, if you don't have a fastboot cable, look at #7 above). Place the folder and the files back to the C: drive before attempting to restore (if you know how to use the cd command, feel free to change the location of the files). Once you're in fastboot, start with the first line of code to command CMD to locate the backups folder, then proceed with the second, one-at-a-time:
Code:
cd C:/KFHD7Backup
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
+Note: Be patient, as some of the codes take a while due to the amount of data being transferred between the device and your computer. If nothing happens after you hit Enter on a line of code or it just hangs at nothing, close the command prompt, open it up again, and retry. It might seem scary, but if there are no codes being executed in the command prompt (you'll see data transfers with kB/s and such if there's communication), it's safe to unplug the cable or close the command prompt. Feel free to reboot your computer, then plug the cable in and try again.
Also, know that these files, when flashed through fastboot, will revert your device back to the state of when these backups were made, so once you have TWRP, these files are no longer important. The backups you make in TWRP will be just as useful, and can save you both time and patience. If, however, you want to revert to a completely stock Amazon OS software for warranty purposes, or to redo this process for any reason, they will come into play because these backups retain your apps and your settings. Otherwise, use the KFHD System Restore Tool to go completely stock.
After you have backed-up (optional), and you have the two needed files on the sdcard (TWRP image and freedom-boot image, ignore the Amazon OS and the stack override files), you can move on to step three.
I try to hard reset but I'm still stuck on loading screen. How do I add a zip file to my sd so I can flash it, since it doesn't even detect my oneplus on my computer? Please help me and lend me your knowledge and power =].
Can you boot in bootloader and connect it through adb and fastboo with your pc? in that case it would be easy to reflash everything
I can boot into fastboot and TWRP but I'm wondering how can I add file into my internal hard drive since it doesnt detect the phone on my computer?
Any help with some instructions would be really nice =] :good:
Do you see it using "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" ?
If not, you must update your adb drivers on your computer and reboot it
right now its on MTP USB Device as my device on my Device Manager, can you link me to the proper usb driver? Because I"m pretty sure I updated it and it was working while my phone is working. Also how can I check if its using adb devices?

Also it said "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date" but doesnt detect my phone?
Anyone still here so they can help me?
So as asked previously, when you connect via fastboot, and boot it into TWRP, do you see it via adb ("adb devices" command in the platform-tools folder)? Did you try adb push <filename> /sdcard/ ?
yes i see adb push , but there's no file there. How can i add file there?

Use an adb push command to send a ROM zip to your phone.
Transmitted via Bacon
@M I N E, go read the sticky posts in the general section. It will explain how to do an adb push command.
@timmaaa and others have done a great job with some write ups for this device.

Or do a factory wipe then go into TWRP -> Advanced -> ADB Sideload -> Swipe
adb sideload <name-of.zip>.zip (ensure the .zip is in the same folder as your fastboot/adb) and then it'll send the zip over to the phone and flash.
I prefer the adb sideload method as it pretty much pushes the file over to the phone and then flashes it afterwards.
Either method is fine though.
If OP has problems with drivers, I recommend using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386956 they work great.
what is the push load command? How can i push something if i dont have any file on my phone to flash? can you guys type out the command?

Read the post above you that I posted. Use that command as well as the instructions and you can flash a file using adb sideload.
well I try factory swipe nothing there, i check the TWRP , no files is there i mean nothing. And I cant do adb push because my when i type adb devices it doesnt recognized, because how can i turn on debugging if my phone doesnt have any rom?

You're not reading my message properly. I'm telling you to do adb sideload. Please read what I said carefully word-by-word.

The whole point of adb sideload is that you're sideloading a flashable zip that is not on your phone but on your computer and you're pushing the file onto your phone which will followup with flashing the zip.
You need to be typing adb sideload on your computer with the proper environment for adb set up with the proper drivers installed if you haven't already.
Hi,
I successfully unlocked my bootloader and the MacOS ADB can still see my device.
However, I have the TWRP files and Magisk downloaded and ready to go on the Mac (and on my phone) but the ADB commands won't work. Fastboot boot or Fastboot flash...
It's my girlfriends Mac and I'm not familiar with MacOS at all. Am I doing something obvious wrong..??? Any ideas please??

cant find file?
Seems like youre in the wrong folder. Try to navigate to your download folder with the command cd
You can also send pictures in here
You have to open a Terminal window in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot.
Also, on OSX, the commands have to be preceded by ./
For example:
./adb devices
./fastboot boot twrp.img
Done it thank you.
I did the 'cd' command.
Then dragged the img. file from Finder to the terminal window. Then put the 'fastboot boot' command in front of that. It worked obviously.
I was unfamiliar with the file location name. This seems an easy way for someone that doesn't have a clue like me. ??
So my screen broke on my Note 10+, leaving only the top 15% with display and the bottom 60% with touch. I am trying to activate ADB on it so that I can backup my internal storage.
I booted into TWRP so that I could backup the rest of my system, which I did successfully, but because of the bad touch screen I am unable to hit the ADB side load button. I'd like to reboot into the system because I have ADB enabled there, however I also cannot click the reboot to system button, only reboot to download and shutdown. Since I can't see most of the screen, it is also not possible to access the terminal and work from there.
Anybody know how I can escape TWRP or otherwise activate ADB? Thanks for the help.
Once USB Debugging successfully got enabled on Android device, ADB is supported as soon as device successfully booted up.
To turn device into ADB Sideload mode you run commands
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload

Like I said, I'm unable to boot into the system right now because I am stuck in TWRP. ADB is not enabled in TWRP upon boot, you have to press the ADB side load button, which I am unable to do.
