[Q] ADB Commands - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently can no longer use my power button. I was wondering if there is any way to use ADB to install the Update.zip to root my phone.

Adb reboot recovery? Dunno if that'll work
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

adb reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after it reboots to the recovery,
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That will work, to reboot to normal again, "adb reboot"

As of right now, I don't think /sdcard/ is the right directory. I'm going to try to find the correct one. It couldn't find the directory or .zip.

As long as your phone is on and debugging mode is on, then ADB should work.

In adb the sdcard partition is /mnt/sdcard...

CW recovery

Im on ra recovery currently and I want to change to cw. I tried flashing it thru rm but it didn't work. Help?

Run - "flash_image recovery <recovery file name>" from adb or terminal window. Make sure the recovery image is in the SD Card root. Reboot...

The better question is why?
Have you tried flashing it via adb shell or terminal emulator? (assuming it comes as a standard .img file)
adb shell:
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/NameOfRecoveryHere.img
terminal emulator:
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/NameOfRecoveryHere.img
fixed it!!

if you have care bears on your recovery you're running the olddddd version. You should update your RA to darch's unofficial (<- get this one ) or the godspeed recoveries.
You can download either one from HERE

Easiest thing would be to put your ROM.zip on your usb and plug it into your phone before entering recovery. I'm not sure if Cwm classic supports otg but Cwm touch and twrp do

I think it's called external_sd in recovery. Just flash it from there.

Apologies, I've just tried it myself in CWM Touch 6.0.3.1...
Go to Bootloader screen and plug in your cable
enter recovery
install zip from sdcard
choose zip from external sdcard
Works for me...
Sometimes if it doesn't mount I go to 'backup and restore' -> restore from external sdcard -> Go Back -> Go Back -> try it flashing from 'install zip from sdcard' again. (Although I have a nandroid backup on my usb so that may not work for you)

yeah...
put your rom.zip in your mini-sdk folder
put your phone to the bootloader screen -> select fastboot -> it should now say 'fastboot usb'
hold shift and right-click on your mini-sdk folder -> Open Command Window Here
command: fastboot devices
if your device shows, enter recovery
command: adb devices
if your device shows,
adb push name_of_your_rom.zip /sdcard be sure to put a space before /sdcard. be sure the 'name_of_your_rom' is named exactly the same as your rom.zip
After a while your rom should be on your sdcard, just flash it as normal.

Just did as you said. The tricky part is with opening command line in the specified folder, I would never have guess that you have to hold shift.
Now waiting for the file being moved to sdcard, after push command the _ is blinking as the file is being send right. File is sent XXX bytes in 222.sec
I tried to instal from the sdcard the recovery reboots itself when I press instal from sdcard

ok, can you select install zip from sideload or does it crash?
if you can, select it and command in cmd (from your mini-sdk folder)
adb sideload name_of_your_rom.zip
once its finished sideloading it should begin install on your phone automatically
If you can't do that, try re-flashing your recovery and try everything again.
fastboot flash recovery name_of_your_recovery.img
(in 'fastboot usb') (name_of_your_recovery.img should be in mini-sdk folder)

Just hold down volume down + power button until it reboots. You may have to do it under a bright light. Keep holding them until your fastboot/hboot screen appears.
Try re-flashing your recovery as I said above and try again - if that doesn't work then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas
What ROM are you trying to install??

So i messed up

Hi , I installed ColosOS beta without installing oppo.boot.img.
And whole system froze on booting up.
Now I have TWRP recovery installed , via fastboot.
But I have no ROM on my cellphone it seems.
I cant seem to use adb sideload command as the cmd window only shows up possible commands. it is adb version 1.0.29
My problem now is to get ROM.zip into my phone. Damn HTC ONE dont have external sd card.....
Anyone can help ?

you're typing the command wrong, or the filename (of the ROM) is wrong.
you can also use an OTG cable, or "adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/"

Example I have Zip file located in : C:/trip.zip
Then I write

that is the push method not sideload:

sideload is just: adb sideload c:\trip.zip

Phone now up again with tripdroids newest.
It was the location of the push (data/media) that I screwed up before posting here. I pushed to sdcard but never find zip file in CWM. SO changed recovery to TWRP.

Good
BTW, /sdcard usually point to /data/media/0, so you should have browsed to the 0 folder in CWM, and then you would have seen the rom.zip

ADB Sideload Question

With ADB sideload, you can flash not only roms but also things like GAPPS right? Instead of using : adb sideload rom.zip : to flash the gapps you can just do : adb sideload gapps.zip :, right?

you can flash any recovery file by adb sideload or by adb push (recommended)
and fastboot command only works in fastboot mode and you cannot flash ROM on fastboot mode

I was getting ready to reinstall Viper one and I accidently wiped my phone in recovery including the internal memory card that had the Viper one OS file on it. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC screen and will do nothing. Do I have any options?
