Once you have sdk installed, if you're having trouble connecting your phone to your computer, get "adb wireless" from the market and you can connect that way leaving no need for the usb cable. All you need is your phones wi-fi turned on and a know how of adb.

You have to have a router too. A way that both the computer and phone can connect.

I've followed this guide:

But when i come to part 2 i have some problems.. The Command Prompt hangs at < Waiting for Device > and nothing happens from here.
All drivers are installed as they should. What would be wrong?

What operating system are you using? If you're using windows going to device manager and see what it says for android devices.

I'm using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate - And it says what it should:
When phone is turned on normally:
Android Composite ADB Interface
Phone in Fast-Boot:
Android Bootloader Interface
Nothing should be wrong there..

i would try another usb cable. they have been know to not work. also make sure that your android sdk has been updated fully before starting step 2

Installing PDAnet had proven time and time again to be the easiest and most foolproof method of getting the correct up to date drivers installed. Please try that. Install PDAnet on your machine and follow the prompts. Then try again.

truth!
here is their site http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php install the free version onto your computer then just follow the on screen instructions. itll install the proper driver for you.

Tried another cable, and using PDAnet - still hangs at Waiting for device...

Does ADB work?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I am having same problem, so I can relate, but not unhappy with stock. I also can not find anything wrong even on device manager everything looks like out ought to work.
I tried adb fastboot devices and my phone is supposed to show up, but didn't. You might try yours as well, probably get same result.
Makes me think still a problem with the driver.

It is a Command Line Interface application that comes packaged with the Android SDK, just like fastboot. ADB is used to interface with your device while it is booted normally, and fastboot interfaces with your device at the bootloader level.
With your phone booted up into Android, plug in USB and do "fastboot devices". What happens?
But before you do that, let me ask: are you sure when you were having trouble with fastboot that you had the phone in bootloader? You have to hold volume up + power until you see a screen that says FASTBOOT MODE at the top with a lot of other text. You can only use fastboot commands such as "fastboot oem unlock" when the phone is in bootloader.

Possible problem
So I checked on my device manager and the android device driver says; Android ADB Interface, rather than Android Bootloader Interface.
Anyone that can help me change it to the correct one as I can use ADB to get phone to bootloader but when I type bootloader devices my phone is not found.
Thanks in advance.

Figured it out (maybe lucky guess)
I moved a copy of bootloader from tools folder to platform tools then opened a terminal from that window and it worked.
Bootloader unlocked and on way to full root.

Bad flash on recovery

Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I'm already asking for help
I have had my rooted Click/Tattoo for about 15 mouths now, yesterday I updated my recovery and flashed the wrong one by accident (I flashed a Wildfire one not a Click one).
The phone boots into Android 1.6 but won't let me flash a new recovery either on the phone terminal with Super User or on my PC with adb. Also I can't flash using Fast boot as my phone has decided to turn Security back on.
I have no Idea what to do, as I have a basicily useless phone at the moment, please help

[Q] BIG MISTAKE!! Wiped the OS, Please Help

I was trying to wipe everything from Nexus 4 because i sold it and was going to ship the phone. I did this in the recovery mode (Team Win) and i had cyanogenmod installed.
It turns out i also wiped off any backups and also the OS on the phone. Now the phone has no operating system on it and only boots into recovery mode. I can't even transfer any backups to the phone because for some reason the phone isn't recognised as a storage device on my PC anymore.
What should i do?? I need to install any type of OS before i ship the phone

Could you please elaborate a little bit?? i'm new to this.
What do you mean by "tool kit"??

Done this 2 weeks ago dont freak out. If u are a twrp user u can sideload the from into the device using adb. Make sure u have all the adb drivers on ur pc. Put the rom file into the folder where the adb files are. Now go to ur recovery/twrp advanced then choose sideload. Plug the phone into ur pc. Now go back to the folder whre adb is. Hold shift , right click and choose start open command wndow here. Now the black cmd box will appear type "adb devices" dont include the quotemarks. It should show device with serial and would say sideload at the right. This means ur phone is connected properly, then type adb sideload (nameofrom).zip and it pushes the file into ur phone it will be named sideload.zip. now reboot phone to recovery and flash awayyy. Sorry for the messy instructions

Thank you,
Do i download the rom from here ?? developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamkot49h
And then not extract, just copy that file to the phone using ADB?

If u want flash any custom rom, for the n4 i recommend purity or cataclysm.

Why not just flash it all through fastboot? I find that a lot better/easier than using twrp's adb push.

True , but i am more used to sideloading. U can guide him thru fastboot if u want

OR I can make a big guide with pictures and all for folks like him if there isn't one already... Is there?

Fast boot requires installing android adb if I am not mistaken. It can get messy if OP doesn't already have it installed.

If you're gonna ship it and sell it. Use this software to restore stock software: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...olkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-8-0-t2015469

If you're still stuck , i can help you via teamviewer.

Just use this to return to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34552123

Actually, I wasn't sarcastic at all... Sorry for making myself seem like an asshole. (happens to me sometimes...)
I just didn't have time to write a long post, explaining it to him + didn't he already solve his problem through adb?

The same problem happened to me but after thinking it through I found a solution. Just used wugs toolkit and flashed back to stock and selected the option soft-bricked. got me back to stock in no time. Just putting this out there if anyone else is reading this thread and dont/cant use adb.

Bricked Nexus 7

Hey guys,
a few hours ago I tried flashing the new Ldroid Rom onto my Nexus 7. After flashing the rom my tablet took ages to boot up and after the bootup it said i had to enter a password to encrypt the data (i never set encryption). after entering a random password android reported that the password was right but the data corrupt and i'd have to do a factory reset. after entering twrp i realized that the device couldn't mount anything except system. i wiped/formated everything except system and tried booting into android. this time i was stuck at the google logo. after entering recovery mode again now twrp couldn't mount system and sdcard. so i formated both and now i'm here with an absolutely empty nexus 7. i tried to use adb sideload to flash a new rom but my pc doesn't recognize the device and neither does fastboot. i tried reinstalling adb and fastboot drivers, i used universal drivers, i used drivers from toolkits, i did many many pc and tablet restarts, i reinstalled android sdk several times, i used different adb/fastboot locations, i even tried using a different pc trying the same steps. no change, only thing i get is that the tablet gets recognized by the device manager as an adb/fastboot device, nothing more.
Does anyone of you know a possible sollution for my issue?
Thanks in advance
P.S.: i've been researching the internet for this issue for the past hours and couldn't find any sollutions, so please don't say stuff like "use search function"
P.P.S.: My other devices get recognized without any issues with the same cable.

I would suggest using wugs awesome software you need to make sure all partitions are wiped and repaired to which ever format you are trying to use ext4 or f2fs and through wugs you can flash new ROM through fastboot wigs has save my ass a few times one should not try to do tedious tasks after a long night of drinking hope this helps let me know if ya need more

The thing is that the device doesn't get recognized in fastboot mode by the fastboot interface. But I'll try anyways as soon as I'm at home again...

Wugss also has a option to restore soft bricked devices that should do the trick for ya if all else fails

OK check verify all partitions are set and you can try to use adb and you can push a new os I believe that should work

Alright I used my macbook for adb/fastboot and there it somehow recognized my device and I could use fastboot to do a factory reset. I still don't know why two independent windows systems did not recognize my Nexus 7 but I got it fixed. Anyways thanks to everyone who tried to help me in this thread!
