sorry if this is the wrong place...this is my problem
I got an old tablet off someone that i want to bring back to life, its an ares 8, model #NXA8QC116. unfortunately the sd card slot is broken so using it is out of the question..I have TWRP 3.0.2 on it and im trying to flash SU to it via "adb sideload."
when in system using "adb devices" it shows the device as well as in recovery mode, but when i try to use the sideload feature in TWRP i get a "ADB sideload failed no devices/emulators found error..if i try "adb devices here it does not show a device..im not sure if this is the problem. Also i cant FLASH SU BECAUSE IT IS NOT SHOWING UP IN twrp nor are any other zips which ive read is because of the encryption is still enabled? i have the disable encryption .zip but cant flash that eaither due to my same problem of .zips not showing up.
All the device drivers and adb+fastboot are setup properly as far as i can tell but i get the error no matter what i do.
my questions are..
1. is there and OTHER method i can use to flash SU.zip or the decryption.zip file without the use of an SD card?
2. does anyone have any ideas on how i can go about fixing the no devices/emulators found error while in sideload mode?
thank you very much for your anticipated reply!
1. is there any OTHER way to flash SU using

when I had that problem, I ended up wiping everything and then rebooted to recovery and it finally worked.

Try what @JudgeFutta said. The error's most likely due to corrupt partitions.

Try to get in Recovery and from mount option mount system and then try it will work or try this
Make Sure HTC Drivers are installed and ADB is already working
1. Reboot into TWRP
2. in TWRP, Hit andvanced and find Sideload
3. Swipe to start Sideload
4. Open a CMD Prompt window and Change Directories to where your adb.exe is
5. type adb devices and it should show your device conntected and say sideload
6. Your ZIP file should already be in your adb folder
7. You are now ready to push the zip.....
8. type adb sideload nameofzip.zip
9. Wait until it says 100% and reboot back into recovery to flash the ROM
10. If hitting power does not make the screen come one, type adb reboot recovery
11. if adb reboot recovery does not work, hold power and volume down until it reboots to fastboot then go to recovery
ADB Push from Recovery - If Sideload Fails For You
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/
Be sure u r in Recovery when using ADB Push command.
Thanks guys. What i found out is that i had a corrupt partition so I formated the sdcard since there was nothing on it and it worked. I pushed the rom through adb but i didnt do the sideload method. I have liquid smooth on it now but I want a sense rom. any suggestions for a good one?

@p1mpin Can vouch for that ROM, it's amazing. Might also want to flash Kangaroo Kernel while you're at it. It'll give you great battery life.
Hello all,
I made a big mistake and wiped my Sd card on my rooted, Unlocked M7. I was able to get recovery(TWRP) back on but for the life of me cannot sideload a Rom on it? At the moment it has no OS. So that means I cannot open usb debugging so I could manually place the ViperOne rom back on the SD. I've never sideloaded anything but after watching many youtube videos and failing ( cannot read ROM.zip) its driving me nuts. Is there maybe an easier way? Maybe something else I can try?
I have tried to load for both desktop and platform tools( both I can see my device).

This error is usually caused by the file being in the wrong location. Make sure "ROM.zip" is in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot on your computer.

TWRP 2.6.4.0 also include mtp drivers so you can see your device storage on your ocmputer when booted in recovery mode.

Like alray said flash TWRP 2.8.4.0 and the phone will be seen in windows and you can just copy the file to the phone and flash it
I already had a "Install recovery v1.2" in my downloads so I tried this because I was unsuccessful with all the other attempts and low and behold it worked. although its an older version of TWRP (2.6.3). would it make a difference not having the latest? now that recovery is there I was hoping to push a ROM then update the recovery through root manager.
I just read alray's last line about the mtp drivers. OK, I will first get my folders working better, upgrade to a newer version TWRP and then push a rom. Is there a difference in "Fastboot adb sideload flash ViperOne.zip" and "
" adb sideload push ViperOne.zip"? Two video's used 2 different commands.

you don't need adb at all if you load TWRP 2.8.4.0 you just copy the file in windows like to a flash drive

If you are going to update twrp to 2.8.4.0, you will not need to push or sideload the rom, just copy it to your phone storage using the windows explorer. Navigate to "my computer --> One --> Internal storage" and copy your rom there.

These 2 commands means nothing. :laugh: SO no, there is no difference between these 2 commands, both will fail lol
if you want to use adb push:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
if you want to sideload:
Code:
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
But like i said, you don't need to use these commands to get your rom on your phone if you are gonna update twrp to 2.8.4.0.
download twrp 2.8.4.0, save it to the same folder where you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer. Open a command prompt from that folder, boot your phone in bootloader/fastboot usb mode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery mode
you'll now see your phone storage on your computer, copy (drag and drop) your rom.zip to your phone storage.
I have an xperia z1 C6902 and now I want to flash custom roms into it. The problem is I have a dead sd card slot, which prevents me from installing rom the normal way. I have searched over the internet and find out how to use the adb sideload mode, but when I enter adb sideload mode in TWRP recovery, it just says "starting adb sideload mode...." forever. What should I do? Any help would be appreciated
EDIT: Turns out I was missing a driver in windows. Now I can get adb to recognize device but when I use "adb sideload xxx.zip" it returns "cannot read xxx.zip"

I fixed the adb problem by installing another recovery
[Update]: Now it says no OS installed in TWRP. I think I have wiped the os by mistake. Just need to know how to install cm13 image using fastboot or ADB. Please help!
I wasn't aware if SuperSU works with CM13 and I installed the app, on request to update the binaries, I selected TWRP/CWM method because the normal mode didn't work. After the reboot the phone won't load into os, its stuck on the CM boot screen. I don't have a CM image on my sd therefore unable to flash again either. Is there a way to push files (cm img) to my phone? I have adb/adb over network enabled as well from developer options. I just need a way to put files into my sd card and flash using TWRP. Please help! this is urgent! :crying:
[SOLVED][HOW TO]
This is in a situation where you've messed up your system and don't have the image file stored in your sd card for quick flashing. Make sure you're using the latest USB drivers and ADB binaries 1.0.32+
- Get into TWRP
- Swipe to ADB Sideload and enable it
- On your desktop, open command and type "Adb sideload filename.zip" [Filename here is the filename of your flashable zip/rom]
- Once you the installation finishes, reboot twrp normally into system

Have you tried enabling MTP in TWRP and using a computer to transfer the image over?
Contact me if you have any questions.

MTP shows as enabled - But the device doesn't show up in my pc. I'm connected through USB in TWRP recovery. I have android debugging also enabled, when trying adb push command, it shows adb devices attached as empty.
[Update]: I am trying to push the file using ADB Sideload in TWRP, the error I get is my adb needs to be updated to 1.0.32. How do i get updated adb 1.0.32?
[Update 2]: So I managed to update by ADB on desktop, and push the zip file using adb sideload in twrp. The zip is being installed as I write this. Lets hope this works!
[Update 3]: Got the rom to install via ADB sideload, though all my apps and settings are gone Anyway, I got the phone back for immediate use. Phew!

Great. Thanks for letting us know.
Hi,
I would like to begin by stating I am new to posting on XDA, but I have used XDA for finding help in the past. The help is always accurate and exceptional. I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with a new problem that I can't get my head around. I will try my best to give all information I can.
OK Here Goes..........
My Father has a samsung A8, model A530F (Jackpotltexx/Jackpotlte8.0.0/R16nw/A530Fxxu3brl8 (this info obtained from stock recovery mode))
Now the problem is he has somehow activated, what I believe is called an MDM Lock.
I Believe because of this the phone will not go into download mode via button presses or any other means. Also USB debugging was not turned on nor OEM Unlocking.
What I wish to Achieve is to somehow install A custom recovery preferably TWRP to his device so that I can install a custom ROM or Even the default Firmware Via SDcard or Via ADB Sideload. I have already tried installing TWRP via SDCARD and ADB but I keep getting verification errors.
The Only thing I believe I have to use is the stock recovery, which won't let me factory reset, go into download mode or fastboot because of this stupid mdm lock. The only thing that seems to work is Update via ADB Sideload or SDcard but they require to be officially signed and verified.
Is there a way to install twrp or verify it?
Can I simply find verified Updates to downgrade / upgrade so that I can get usb debugging or download back?
Is there a way to format the phone using a verified zip?
Can The SDCard be used as a Boot device and install TWRP to it?
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance.
Extra Info
Just updating my original post with some extra info,
When starting up phone in recovery the following is displayed at the bottom of the terminal.
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [BL:Recovery Mode Set by Key]# Support Single-SKU
File-Based OTA supported API: 3
#Manual Mode V1.0.0# remove failed dir '/system/carrier/ATT/Priv-app/AttIqi_ATT '(No such file or directorty)
Successfully verified dmverity hash tree.
Also when selecting Update via ADB It seems to activate the USB connection. Is there a way I can use this?
When I type adb devices it comes up with
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
52004f7ac028259d sideload
I was also wondering if anyone knows of anything that the stock recovery mode can update / flash. I have gotten a lot of "official firmware updates" from trusted sites and none of them want to update via adb or SDK card due to verification / signing issues.
Once again Thanks to everyone.
