[Q] How to Transfer in Recovery?

So I bricked my HD7 last night as it will stay on the blue logo and not go past that. This is because I tried to flash an OC kernel but i think it didnt play well with kinology, so now i have the stock rooted os on my computer and am in TWRP, but when I try to transfer files via ADB Sideload my computer doesnt recognize adb as a command so any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

You mean the "adb push" command? Make sure your ADB is working by first entering "adb" and Enter. Then go "adb devices" and Enter, if you see characters, your ADB works.

There was someone having the same problem (it was me). The solution was HERE
Moreover: obviously the custom (OC) kernels aren't supporting the stock roms

"doesn't recognize adb as a command" sounds like you're not opening your cmd window in the right location (assuming you're on windows). You need to be in the platform-tools directory when running the adb command (or set up the PATH variable correctly...search around for how to do this)

Seems like I updated my driver software and set it to composite I think. I read it fro another post on here somewhere. But it worked for me.

[Q] adb works fine but fastboot doesn't see the device

Having a strange problem with my HTC One (m7) where adb works fine and can even reboot to bootloader, but fastboot doesn't see the device.
My HTC One is S-Off and rooted and unlocked. Running Android Revolution HD 31.5 (JB 4.3) and my current recovery is TWRP.
The computer is running Windows 8.1 x64.
I've got the latest Android SDK installed, and can run both adb and fastboot from command prompt with no problem.
I've got the latest HTC Sync manager installed so the drivers should be there as well.
adb works fine, I can issue "adb devices" and it shows my device and serial number and I can do all other things with adb as well (so no issue with USB cable or port either).
I can boot to bootloader with "adb reboot bootoader" and when I'm there it shows "Fastboot USB" so that looks ok as well.
But fastboot doesn't see the device. "fastboot devices" returns nothing.
I've tried searching the forums and googling and everything, but can't find anything. I'm at my wits' end. Any help greatly appreciated.

You were indeed correct, and I was obviously googling for the wrong thing. I just didn't think the 8.1 update would have broken that...
Anyway, for the record, this guide helped me fix it by replacing Microsoft's USB drivers with Intel's. http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/
Oh, and thanks to Microsoft for wasting hours of my time with your buggy driver Times like this I really miss my Linux box.

[Q] adb "waiting for device"

I spent a good part of the day reading through all the steps to get my new device (just arrived, 4.4) rooted. I've had several rooted devices before, but always used tools to do it.
Never used adb before, but managed to get the SDK installed and have been playing around with it. That's as far as I got, however.
On my mac, using terminal, I can get adb to see my device (type ./adb devices and it lists it as connected).
When I go through this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
to do any fastboot commands, I always get "waiting for device." Previously I got some kind of pipe error. Yes, usb debugging is on.
I think I'm pretty close to getting flashed down to 4.2.2, just can't get the adb to work.
tl;dr - adb gives me "waiting for device" forever. any ideas how to fix?
Thanks very much!

if your phone is turned on when it is connected to the computer then you can't run fastboot commands. you can only run adb commands. If your phone is in "fastboot mode" / bootloader screen, then you can run fastboot commands but not adb commands. Not sure this is your issue but based on your info it is my best guess at where you are having problems.

that sounds about right! thanks!
how do I get the phone into fastboot mode/bootloader screen? or better yet, when i'm doing this whole process, in what mode should the phone be and how do I get it there?

I can NOT get ADB to recognize this phone in fastboot mode.

Please for the love of god help me. I've tried everything.
I have a developer edition. I have the newest drivers, the newest phone updates. Everything. It is recognized by ADB when I'm on the home screen, but when I am in fastboot mode itself it will not recognize the device. I can't unlock the BL because of this. It's VERY frustrating and I'm about 12 hours from selling this device and buying an HTC M8.
I have Windows 7 64 bit. I'm on the newest moto drivers, the newest FW for the X. I've uninstalled and re-installed and restarted my machine countless times. With no luck. With the drivers installed I booted the phone into fastboot mode, pulled up a command prompt where ADB was installed, ran adb devices and nothing. Over and over again. Please help me. I really want to keep this phone.

Navigate to where fastboot.exe is installed, and run "fastboot devices".
And make sure phone is in bootloader mode.
Does it list serial number?

I ran into the same issue last night, I just got a moto x DE for my wife, and a new laptop since last March when I unlocked my moto x DE. "adb devices" returned nothing, and I had a fresh install of the SDK and the moto drivers. Both old and new laptop on Win 7 64-bit. I googled trying to find a solution, but didn't find anything that worked. Grabbed my old laptop, hooked up to it, and it worked fine.
One suggestion I saw and didn't try was to remove/reload the moto drivers. Since I got it working and got her phone unlocked with my old laptop, I didn't pursue further.

Adb devices wont work when the phone is in Booloader/fastboot mode.
Make sure you have the latest Moto drivers from here -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Follow this -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/ADB.htm To install The Android SDK, PlatformTools, and mFastboot, and add platform tools to the Path.
once that is done.. type fasboot devices and see if you get anything. If no, look at Device Manager and make sure there are no ! or such in there.

This is what worked for me. Posting here for posterity and potential helpfulness.

I hit the issue earlier and fixed it with the steps. hope will help you too.
1. connect your phone with computer
2. go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Motorola Shared\Mobile Drivers\

Even that wouldn't help him if he was trying to use adb while in the bootloader.

Thanks for clarifying. I only end up dealing with rooting something once a year or so and always forget the "ins-outs-and-what-have-yous". Once I was reminded of fastboot vs. adb all was well!

Droid Turbo - Mofo connects and flashes but fastboot won't...

I am not new to flashing phones, but I cannot figure this out. I can run Mofo and Mofoverify, but I cannot run a fastboot commands like "fastboot flash logo logo.bin". All I get is waiting for device. " Adb devices" and "fastboot devices" both return an empty list in there respective modes. Now I have tried several similar but not the same fixes from many Google and XDA searches. I have tried all sort of driver solutions, USB cables, toggleing of settings in my phone and such. I have used Mofo without issue and still can, but fastboot won't let me flash the setup files for Lollipop and I want me some sweetness! I have a newer Windows 8.1 machine and the XT1254. Lastly, this is my first Q&A thread post, so please be gentle. Thank you ahead of time, because this is XDA, and it can solve anything!

Any way you could try it on a Windows 7 machine?

Where did you get your fastboot files? If mofo detects it then your fastboot files are jacked up
Go here: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.3.3-windows.zip
Once you extract it, run SDK Manager, Select to install Android SDK Tools, Platform-Tools.
Once that's done, go to \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Hold shift, right click and Open Command Prompt. Then fastboot will work
O

Here's an easy way to install Fastboot/ADB.
Once that is installed you'll have to change your commands to fit the file path of the fastboot files.
For example:
Code:
fastboot flash logo C:\Users\OP\Desktop\logo.bin

This minimal version of fastboot is a lot smaller and worked for me.

I have used minimal Adb/fastboot. I don't know if it helps, but when in Android, even after revoking USB debugging authorizations, I never get asked on my phone to re-authorize my pc. As for a Windows 7 machine, I could downgrade my laptop, but I wanted that to be a last resort. 
 @savage- sorry for posting this on ComputerFreaks thread, but it was his image I am trying to install and figured someone doing the same as me may have had same issue, but I'm sorry.

A windows 7 machine is unnecessary. I used windows 8.1 pro x64 to perform the whole upgrade process without a hitch. If mofo functions correctly, that means the fastboot drivers are installed correctly. If you start up minimal adb/fastboot, plug in your phone while it's in fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices," what do you get?
EDIT: Duh. You already said that it says returns nothing. Well in that case there has to be some sort of problem with the USB connection or the minimal adb/fastboot installation. Maybe try running the minimal adb/fastboot shortcut as administrator. I don't remember having to do that on mine, but who knows?

St33ve- see OP, nothing listed for adb or fastboot devices commands in their respective modes.

Have you tried a different USB cable?

Yes, about 7 different ones. 4 that I am sure have worked before, and no physical damage to them.

You said Mofo is able to see your device though, so that's kind of throwing me through a loop. You could try a fresh install of the Minimal ADB, and double check your drivers?

That's a sign of drivers not being installed!
Try opening up device manager n see if the driver is not installed.... If u see a device with an exclamatory mark n "quark" somewhere in it... The drivers aren't installed...

When the phone is in fastboot mode, the phone is listed as quark fastboot, but no exclamation mark. I reflashed computerfreaks image (KK) without an issue, but still isn't recognized in fastboot or Adb. I really want to flash me some Lollipop! I have crack flashed with every phone I own. I'm going thru withdrawals here LOL.

i am having the exact same issues. I've reinstalled drivers, switched usb cords and have had no success.

I'm not certain what actual fixed mine because I tried so many things but I got mine to recognize my phone. I think what did it was revoking the USB debugging authorizations and deleting the adb files on my computer under username/.Android. Then reauthorizing my phone. That and I believe I may have had duplicate drivers interfering with each other. Hope this helps

Hallelujah, I have lollipop!!!
I do not know exactly what the issue was but after factory resetting windows 8.1, and manually loading each driver for adb and fastboot, it works (again). I wish there was a Thank All Button. THANKS ALL!!!
