ADB in Win 7

ADB was working for awhile then quit.
Can someone please help me?
In command prompt it says "ADB is not an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

Do you install the Sync software?

Yes, I've tried it with and without.
I recently deleted the Sync, should I reinstall it?

I'll post the drivers. Here is the link.

You can try manual install the drivers.

You have to either put it in your path, or cd to the directory where adb is contained.
Example:
cd \android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run your adb commands. That error message you're getting is because the OS doesn't know the adb executable exists.

Do you still need help with this? I can help you out

Yes I do.
Would really appreciate it.

It seems you're on your way to receiving help. However, if you're still in limbo, locate your android folder or adb executable, right click, copy the location, and paste it into a follow-up reply. This is with respect to the diagnosis process.
Either way, I hope you're headed in the right direction to solve your slight dilemma.

adb no longer working

I did a few things the other day in SDK, messing around with emulators. Now I can't get adb to work.
I keep getting this:
c:\AndroidSDK>adb
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
This is the exact path I had used in the past, even following the .txt instructions that have worked for me in the past.
Yes in am in debugging, charge only, partition mount showing "unmount /system" like it has in the past. Does this have anything to do with what packages I updated when I was messing with SDK emulator?

Go into the directory and see if there is a file called adb in there...if it's not check the other folders like tools or something like that i'm at work so i don't know the exact name of the directories...

This is a PC error message stating that the file adb.exe is no longer in the AndroidSDK directory. As zervic mentioned, check and see if the file adb.exe is in that directory.

We're onto something...there is no adb in the AndroidSDK folder. So where do I get this adb? I did the SDK so long ago, like 5 months. Don't remember a thing about it and consider myself lucky that I got it going back then, piecing together youtube videos and several forums.

Just reinstall (or unzip if I remember right) the Android SDK into that directory

I started the "update all" in the "installed packages" window. If that doesn't fix it, I shall follow your advice.
Edit: The "update all" didn't fix it.

I found the .zip and extracted it to my c:\AndroidSDK folder, but still a nogo. I also tried copying adb.exe straight to the AndroidSDK folder, still a nogo.
Anything else to try?
When I copied adb.exe to the tools folder and tried adb in cmd prompt, I got "This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
Are they telling me to uninstall SDK and start over? Like I said, I was lucky to get it going the first time!
Smack myself in the head while I Edit: Found the AdbWinApi.dll in the zip and copied it to the tools folder. Adb runs now and recognizes my device. Later I will find out if I can rm some stock apps from my wife's new phone.
Thanks for your help in this matter.

Just so you know that may be a little unstable. It may be worth your while to check the "platform-tools" folder and see if adb is in there, i believe that's where it is by default and it also may be worth your while to run adb from that folder instead of where you jerry rigged it to run. But, on the other hand, it may work the way you have it. You never know. Just figured I'd throw that out there.

While rooting my Nook Color, I came across a recommendation for a free app in the market called adbWireless.
It's AWESOME! No need to use USB or worry about drivers, just install the app, push the big huge button and then type the adb command it shows you to connect to your device. Worked absolutely perfectly on my Nook... haven't tried it on my Aria, but next time I need to ADB something on it, you can bet I will!

did anyone check their tools directory?
ie: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
LOL

New guy rooting vibrant

Hay, my name's Nick, been reading the posts for a while, decided to join. Iv'e been wanting to root my T-mobile vibrant so i can get a more streamlined ROM will less features to make the ones i use go smoother and faster and get the full potential out of the device. I rooted it no problem with one click root, installed clockwork rom manager, and titanium backup, installed clockwork recovery (i love the clockwork orange icons by the way) put the latest "insanity 0.6.7.zip" in the root of the internal SD, and hit the "install rom" option on the rom manager and selected the .zip, and it made my phone go into the standard recovery mode, no option to install any .zip files. So i opened the rom manager and manually put it into CWM recovery so i could manually install the rom. It looked like it was going to work, but then it sent my phone back to the recovery screen with white text that said "install update.zip" so i did what it said, and it sent my phone into a boot loop. I can get into recovery mode, but when ever i try to recover my backup or access any files it says "no files found, operation canceled" or something like that. It also fails to mount via USB. I can get it to go to download mode but have not tried odin yet, because im on a mac (working on getting bootcamp working now to run windows)
Odin seems like my only option now right? anyone have any idea ware I went wrong? it must have been the incorrect update.zip file right?

I dont think u flashed a vibrant rom
Just mount your internal sd from clockwork and copy over a vibrant rom, and flash
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

have any idea why it wont let me mount my sd card? that makes me worried it wont connect to a Pc in download mode but i haven't had the opportunity to try that yet.

I'd download your rom of choice, there are a ton that are perfect fit first timers. Trigger and Bionix-V seem very stable. Pop your external sd into your computer, copy the .zip for the rom, go into recovery, select install from zip and flash your rom.
Odin is last resort. I'm not familiar with insanity, but maybe it was a bad download?

when it booted up it went to my normal "vibrant" screen, then to an unfamiliar "galaxy s 19000" screen. Im assuming there is a difference between galaxy s and vibrant right?

tried that, when i try to to install zip from sdcard it says "no files found"
i assume it's looking for files on the internal and not the external right? so i tried mounting the external sd card from the mounts and storage menu, and i got an error message that said "E:INFO is WRONError mounting SDEXT !"

In recovery, do you see any folders when you click install from zip, or is that when you get an error message?
If you see folders, can you navigate to external_sd?

i click "install zip from SD" and it brings me to a menu with the options to apply sdcard.update.zip or choose zip from sd card, and when try ether one of those options it says "No Files Found"
I have a rom in a zip on the root of my external now, just cant get to it.
Too bad i cant help trying to fix things that aren't broken

not your external sd, zip should be on your internal sd
since you can get into recovery you can try using adb to push the zip from your computer to the phone
install android sdk and drivers for vibrant then using command prompt navigate to the following directory in the android-sdk folder
\platform-tools\
then execute the following command again in cmd prompt
adb push <dir for zip> /sdcard
if that doesnt work then odin will be your only choice and you must be in download mode to do that

If you can access xda from your phone,download a vibrant rom from there.
Once it's downloaded,it will be in the root of your internal sd,under download.You can then flash it in cwm,or when the download is complete,click on it and choose Rom Manager to open it,and you can flash it from there.
Here's a link to Bionix 1.3.1,on xda.

first you have to be in the android sdk directory and second you must run the sdk manager process and download the rest of the sdk, the bit that you download from the website does not include the full android sdk, you will also need to have java runtime environment 5 or later installed on your pc.
also if you are running adb in linux you need to sudo or su adb commands
in linux you will need to restart the adb daemon
su
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
hope this helps

i ran the SDK and AVd manager and installed the rest of the SDK packages, then found the ADB file and drug it into the terminal, that gave me the list of commands. I plugged in the phone and tried "adb devices" and it said "command not found" tried quitting and restarting terminal a few times and still nothing

thats a security feature within linux it wont show what you are typing but rest assured its registering keystrokes, and you dont drag and drop to terminal
assuming the androidsdk is in your home directory you would type
cd /home/username/android-sdk/platform-tools
then ./adb devices (this is just a check to make sure your phone is being recognized)

i type
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
and it tells me
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools: is a directory
then i type ./adb devices
and it says
-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory
im getting really confused, it seems like im making a really simple mistake i just cant figure out what im doing wrong

ok so you are doing this from mac then? i apologize as i have no experience messing with android using a mac, id imagine itd be much like linux although terminal commands may be different.

should still be able to mount usb storage in cmw, that or push files using adb, if you can get into recovery then you can always get your device back

I just helped a user with the same problem yesterday.
Here's the link with steps how to push a rom to your phone with adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137976

can you get into fastboot? if you can then all you have to do is follow this thread:

No, you can't mount USB in recovery. The Nexus 4 does not use UMS.

Ok thanks for the fast reply, im gonna try to push a rom with adb.

''I know you don't have a rom on your phone. This is how you can push one to your phone.
You must be booted in recovery
Put the rom in the same directory on your PC where you have adb.exe
Open up the command prompt from that directory. (hold shift and right click--then choose open command window here)
Then type the command-- adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
The file with push to your phone and then your can select it and flash it from recovery''.
I see this in another thread, Where can i find adb.exe? Im terrible with computers...

Adb is part of of the platform tools for android. Since you unlocked and flashed a custom rom you should have it on your computer.
If you need it, it is located as an attachment at the bottom of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1

I got the attachment, its called platform tools v16, i dragged and dropped an rom in that platform tools file and after that i dont know what to do...
''Open up the command prompt from that directory. (hold shift and right click--then choose open command window here)
Then type the command-- adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/''
This is what i dont understand.

Extract the files in that .zip into a folder and name it something like "Android."
Move the Rom.zip into that folder as well.
Then do the shift and right click and open the command window pointed to that directory. (as I explained above)
Make sure its connected properly and there isn't a driver issue by typing the command: adb devices. If it returns your serial number you are good to go. (If not, you need to install the correct drivers, which are linked in Section A of the post I linked earlier.)
Then type the command. adb push nameofRom.zip /sdcard/

When i type adb devices i can see my serial number and recovery after it.. when i type ''adb push nameofRom.zip /sdcard/ '' i get a message cannot stat 'nameofRom.zip' No such file or directory
What am i doing wrong?
Edit: hahahaha i see what i do wrong nameofRom.zip

Are you actually typing "nameofrom.zip" ?

You certainly haven't bricked it. The fact you can get to recovery means, you can get to fastboot. Simply open fastboot and reflash stock and be more careful next time

[Q] How to push file using TWRP adb sideload and Nexus 4 Toolkits

Hi everybody
Today I've just messed up my phone by deleting all TWRP backups as well as ROM zip files on my N4 (haven't found out why i did it, hell!)
Now after wipe my current rom, I've totally in the middle of "NoRom"
I have TWRP, and Nexus 4 Toolkits installed on my PC. I think all drivers are installed correctly as well, since I used them to unlock bootloader and root my N4 before.
But i just cannot figure out how to "ADB sideload" zip file to my device in order to flash a new rom.
So please guild me to do this. Many thanks
Note: I read on TWRP page and they say that I have to enable adb sideload in TWRP on my N4 (of which i've done), then "From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip". From that point I cannot understand. How and where could I open the command line?
(sounds noobie but since downloading that Toolkits, I've got rid of pure ADB things, so now I don't have the sdk)
Thank you.

Lol, getting rid of ADB especially when you have a nexus was a bad idea. You need ADB, so you also need the SDK (although you *might* find only adb.exe and associated files here on XDA, which should be sufficient for this particular process, but I still recommend the SDK as it is quite handy).
Once you set up the SDK on your pc, go to the folder which has adb.exe, and open a command prompt there. That's the command line you need to use for adb sideload. From there, you can simply type adb sideload file_name.zip, which will place the file_name.zip on your sdcard.
Edit: Forgot to mention this. I never used toolkits and advise using the manual method which will teach you a lot and is more comfortable to use once you get the hang of it, believe me.

Back to the past when i got G1, i was familiar with sdk and adb thing. But as time passing by, i'm getting lazier and lazier lol, so i've almost forgotten those useful stuffs, just use some 1-click tools like the toolkits.

I tried sideload on my nexus 4 but it gives me this error...
"failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)"
I have been trying to sideload cm 10.2 since my phone is stuck on the google boot logo...any ideas as to how to solve this problem?
Cheers beforehand!

close "adb.exe" in task manager

Help please. I've done the same thing as the OP. I do not know what to do next.
I am unable to mount the phone. I click on "Mount" from TWRP's main screen and nothing registers on my computer.
Under Advanced I am able to click on ADB Sideload but then the adb commands do not work to sideload a rom. I am able to use the command adb devices and that returns a response. I have also tried the adb push command to move the rom onto the phone with no response.
What should I do next?

Standard adb functions work on the main menu of twrp
Here is the easiest method.
On your pc go to your toolkit directory
Find the folder that has adb.exe in it
Copy your new Rom to this directory and rename it rom.zip (for simplicity)
Hold shift and right click on a blank bit of the folder
In the pop-up menu there should now be an option saying "open command prompt here" or something similar.
Boot your phone into twrp and plug it into your pc
On your pc's new command prompt screen type
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Once it has completed you can install the rom as normal on your phone

Find the folder that has adb.exe in it
Copy your new Rom to this directory and rename it rom.zip (for simplicity)
Hold shift and right click on a blank bit of the folder
In the pop-up menu there should now be an option saying "open command prompt here" or something similar.
Boot your phone into twrp and plug it into your pc
On your pc's new command prompt screen type
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Once it has completed you can install the rom as normal on your phone

Hey Thank i got it working, but one thing i cant understand is i got in a boot loop cause install cm10.1.3 RC2 coming from cm 10.2 nightly version, i also flased gapp 4.2.2 assuming the rom was 4.2.2 that why. is this correct? i wanna go to cm10.1.3 RC2 current on 10.2 nightly how can i do this? which gapps should i install?

Do you have adb drivers installed?
What happens when you type
adb devices
In the command prompt
You should get the serial number of your phone, then next to it it should say recovery
If you have nothing listed then you have an issue with the drivers on your computer

Hi,
I moved from slimbean build 8 (4.2.2) to Slimbean 5 (4.3)
After a couple of reboot the phone stucks an google screen, I tried to reflash the rom from twpr but nothing chaged.
If I try to sideload small files (like supersu) it works, with rom.zip files not..
I have "* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *" after some seconds.
If I try to use sideload from twpr home (2.6.0.0) adb doesn't work,
adb devices
List of devices attached
0076a0288a8c04be recovery

Cwm
Is it possible to do the same with Cwm instead of twrp? If so, how? Also, i have both twrp and cwm according to rom manager. How?

Thanks your a life saver!

I had the same problem while trying to install a new rom and i got into a bootloop stuff.
I tried what its say before on this thread but my phone can't be found. what can i do ?
Excuse my english i'm French.
Thx for your help if somebody can help me.

i run adb push rom.zip /sdcard but it tells me: cannot stat 'rom.zip': No such file or directory
I know that my drivers are installed and i can see my device when i run adb devices. Thank you for any help i can get.

being a noob at all of this, I am getting nowhere..... all I did so far was install android sdk. and put phone into sideload....
when I did adb push rom.zip /sdcard and it did some things?
then I do adb devices (in the cmd line of windows) and it gave me my serial number.... but what now?
I see nothing on the phone to load/install?
also: I type this: adb push rom.zip /sdcard
it says error closed.

Even i have been caught up with this same problem , and i found this thread which was pretty helpful
