[Q] adb returning "error: closed"

Hi,
I'm currently trying to use adb to push some data into my phone but i always get "error: closed". I'm using windows 7 x64 and im running it from cmd.
Almost everything i tried using adb (push, shell, remount) returns this. I've searched over the forums and tried "adb devices" as well to see if my phone is connected, but what is different from the others is i am getting
List of devices attached
XXXXXX host
instead of what most other people got
List of devices attached
XXXXXX device
Is this a problem? What am i missing? Thanks a lot for ur time in reading this

Try:
Code:
adb usb
then
Code:
adb devices
or
Code:
adb kill-server
then
Code:
adb start-server
then
Code:
adb devices

Thank you! Although after doing these commands it still returned error:closed it listed my device as being in sideload mode so all sideload commands worked after that including sideloading a rom .zip

Did you update the SDK Manager??? Try updating that, my ADB problem were gone after i updated them.....

I've got the same situation with "error closed" message. I ran the suggestions above but am still getting the error message.... Thoughts?

This is actually the only place I've found that might have had a solution to my problem (different device: Nexus 7, Stock 4.3 JWR66Y, unrooted, I'm attempting to sideload the 4.4 update but continually get this error:closed message.

isnt "error closed" something to do with out of date adb?

Some people had solved the issue with the command:
Code:
adb usb
and after a reboot of device.
But seems don't work for all.

I haven't tried rebooting the device seems to be the only thing I left out.

I was having the same problems. Couldn't sideload. When I would run "adb devices" , my device would be listed. If I ran "adb usb" I would get "error: closed" . The sideload command would just bring up a list of commands. This may help someone, I installed a new version of adb. Not sure if I can post links but the file name was adb-setup-1.1.exe. This installs the needed files, the installer didn't notify me where the files were installed but they installed right to my C:\ drive. This seemed to eliminate the problem for me. I did a lot of searching and couldn't find anyone with this specific issue, so if anyone finds themselves with this problem give this a try.

worked for me
i had the same problem
i coulnt send anyfile to my htc one but after updating plate-form tools and replacing the old adb and fastboot files with the new ones

Perfect - worked for me - exact same issue - adb wasnt recognising my phone was in sideload and sideload command wouldnt work but push would - plus getting error closed message on adb usb command. Googled the above adb file, downloaded, 15 second install and now sideloading is working on my SG2 with CWM recovery 6.0.2.9 (kitkat). I was obviously using an outdated ADB driver (1.0.29).
Thanks a lot KoolAidBigMan !! Big up...

EDIT : Spoke too soon - now getting another error when trying to sideload.. will google it.. failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
EDIT : Sorted. Ended up getting round it by pushing the files instead - found instructions on Cyanogenmod forums. Thanks once again.

[Q] HELP! Wiped everything by accident!

I accidentally wiped everything from my HTC One which was previously running Android Revolution HD 31.0. I tried using ADB sideload from TWRP recovery, which is still on my phone, and when typing ADB devices, I do see a random string of numbers with the text ''sideload'' next to it. However, when I try to sideload the rom I get an error: closed or cannot read 'sideload' message. Any ideas? I really need my phone to work..

What have you tried..
Assume you have latest drivers and ADB installed fully on PC?
Not sure as I don't use TWRP, but can you mount storage? (if so copy ROM onto sd card via PC)
If you have everything loaded and still no go, is your device s-off?

have you tried "ADB Push" ??
some times this works...when adb sideload fails
"adb push yourrom.zip /data/media/0/"
even this one has to be done from recovery

flash this recovery and chose side load it will work tested by me. though it takes abt 5min to load 1gb file.
this progress will be showin in your cmd
just place the zip in your adb folder and run
adb push (name of the zip)

[Q] Wiped everything > no OS

Hey there.
Was playing around with recovery and managed to wipe EVERYTHING (yeah...I know... )
I now have no OS and, obviously, when I reboot I get stuck in a bootloop.
My question is how do I flash a rom onto it, as there is no sdcard slot?
Thanks in advance!

adb sideload

you use adb from your adb / fastboot folder
TWRP / Advanced / Sideload
From PC adb /fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
or
just have TWRP loaded on the first screen and
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
both ways the name_of_rom.zip needs to be in the same folder as adb / fastboot

1) Go back into recovery (power on while holding vol-, then select recovery). Plug in to PC and use "adb push <rom>.zip \sdcard\(rom).zip. Flash.
2) ADB Sideload (don't know how to use personally).
3) Go back into recovery and plug in a USB flash stick (either an OTG flash that will plug right in, or a microUSB-to-FemaleUSB cable and any USB flash stick or hdd).
I don't understand why people are so in love with microSD, when hardly anyone spends the cash on a 64gb card so the built in 32gb is just fine. If you need removable media, you have it in a $1.99 otg cable and any flash stick (or even a 3tb usb-hdd).

Yeah adb will not list any devices as USB Debugging needs to be enabled and as you dont have a OS installed you won't be able to enable it. Luckily you have the latest version if twrp install so you can use adb sideload from twrp, I think it's in the advanced tab. Start up adb sideload and make sure your Rom.zip file is in the adb folder on your PC and then type, adb sideload <name of Rom>.zip, and the sideload will copy zip file over abd install for you.

a bit misleading it is, it wont come up with a msg started or something (in other words your waiting for nothing, its already running after the starting msg). Plug your phone in and start the adb sideload in cmd. Of course your system must recognize your phone else your will error out with no device found.

aaah, so I don't have to wait for it to "start". OK then, I'll try this.
When I plug in the phone, Windows makes the "New device" sound, so I guess it does recognise it.
so it's adb sideload ....zip ?

After you have started the sideloader server in twrp, just type adb sideload <name of rom>.zip and it will start sending the file. Dont bother trying to search for the device (adb device) as sideloader only understand the above command

[Q] Stucked in recovery badly.. Please help me

My device is Moto X (XT1060). I wiped my Internal storage, Cache, Data, System entirely.
I went to my TWRP v2.6.3.1 recovery and tried to sideload cm12.zip via adb.exe but it failed to recognize the device.
I tried
Code:
adb sideload cmfile.zip
but it show's
Code:
error: device not found
I installed Motorola Device manager.. but no luck so far.
I think I need drivers or something for XT1060.. Please help me.

You should search for twrp 2.8.4.0 for Moto X 2013. Also, make sure you have the latest android SDK and ADB files installed. You'll need to search for threads that help get your phone connected to a pc.

Or you could use 'adb push cm12.zip /sdcard' (without the apostrophes) in a cmd prompt then flash in recovery. Why does everyone resort to sideloading when there's any easier method that will always work?
Once you get your Android SDK and drivers set up and storage mounted in recovery.

or you can boot your phone into bootloader if you can and flash the device back to stock and start over.

That is basically all the sideload command does isn't it? I seemed to notice when I side loaded I was left with the zip I installed on my device... I could swear I deleted it manually, which would mean that sideload just pushes and installs for you in once nice package.
Either way, the issue he is having is that ADB won't find his devices... read the error message its not having trouble with the sideload or the zip... He just doesn't know how to use ADB and make it recognize his device...
Pushing doesn't always work when ADB doesn't recognize your device....

[Q] ADB "device not found" after "adb reboot recovery"

I am trying to install the Cynogenmod 12 ROM on my Ouya. One of the prerequisites is the Ouya Bootmenu, which requires a recent ClockworkMod to be installed.
I have ADB installed.
On my Windows PC, I type "adb reboot recovery" and my Ouya reboots to a screen that says OUYA with a red exclamation mark.
On the OUYA, I hit my HOME key, and select to sideload from ADB. Yellow text appears on my OUYA screen that says "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ..."
Back on the Windows PC, I try typing "adb sideload recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.8-ouya.zip" and get "error: device not found".
It appears that the OUYA isn't visible to the PC when it is in recovery mode, which seems to be a bit of a problem.

Well you might get told this is the wrong section for this question but I'll just try and answer here.. The red ! is stock recovery so sideloading probably won't work, you'll have to follow instructions HERE to ensure adb is working and superuser is good, then I personally used the manual method HERE to get CMW installed, finally you just flash the boot menu zip and you're good to go!

The issue was that the CWM was getting over written every time the OUYA booted.
By deleting all the partitions, and then installing Bootmenu, CWM, and the new ROM without rebooting I kept it from doing that.
