go into recovery and try turning adb sideload on then off and see if adb recognizes your device after that.

failed to open driver control: no such file or directory
when i start adb, it zooms really fast through codes and then exits.

Then you didn't set adb up correctly
Edit: now that I think of it you may be typing in the command incorrectly.

Get into twrp
Find to sideload option.
Select it.
Plug your phone into your computer, make sure to use usb 2.0 not 3.0.
Open up a command prompt where the rom is located.
Type adb sideload rom.zip

I'd recommend you flash twrp then adb push your rom, then flash it

Okay im going to post the steps and maybe this will be easier for all of us.
1- Flashed Paranoid
2- Flashed crpalmers boot.img in flashgui
3- Phone was good for a solid day, then rebooted.
4- After reboot phone said a lot of the services are force closing and then rebooted into the white htc screen
5- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131284 and followed it to the T
6- phone is not being recognized in adb
7- went to flash the recovery but its waiting on device even though its in fastboot usb
Maybe im missing a driver or a step I am not sure about but hopefully that helps a bit more than posting little by little.

Might want to unplug from the net when installing them so it doesn't look for others which driver version you installing? EDIT: also if you have a otg cable then you can put the rom on a flash drive and flash it from that.

I think, without root, you can't view /data, but you can try.
If you can, the sms should be located in this .xml: er /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Then backup it via adb, reflash your rom and replace the file with the backuped one.
If you can't access /data, maybe you can root/flash cwm to your phone too, if it's bootloped? (Phone specific, so I don't know.)
Good luck.

Connect your phone to your computer, start adb shell and type in su and then cd data
If you can view the directory by typing in ls you should be able, to copy the .xml to your computer.

You have to open cmd.exe and navigate to the location, where the adb file is located.
Then type in ‘adb shell’.

when i type in adb shell, it says Error: device not found, while the phone was in the boot menu.
Is it maybe because im missing drivers? I googled a bit and now i have the driver i need, its .exe file , what should i do with this file? if i double click on it, i get an error message.

Yes, the drivers could be the problem or maybe (but I don't hope so) the phone isn't recognizable in this mode via adb.
If you're using Windows, go to the device manager and check, if there's a android thing with a exclamation, then refresh the driver of this, if it's possible. Simply via right click etc. (Of course, if the device is connected.)
And have you tried this here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15585507&postcount=2
btw: Your phone seems to don't boot up since a few days, do you don't need it? Another idea is, maybe you can backup all your files via fastboot/download mode or something else, but you'll have to post this question in the device specifically forum, because it's different on phones.
Okay, one more time good luck.

yes, in the device manager there is an android thing with a yellow exclamation. i clicked on refresh the driver and i get the window asking me where i want to get the driver from. since i have the driver in an Sd card, i´ll try that tomorrow.
well, i do need the phone, but now im using my old one. until i can finally fix this issue.
What did you mean with the Fastboot mode? when im in the boot menu, i can select Fastboot, but it wont help much, because it will just start the booting again (bootloop). but i dont know if this is what you meant with fastboot.

Okay, but you can also let Windows automaticly search the internet for the drivers.
About fastboot, I don't know if you can backup files with this. (Normally you can use this to flash boot.img etc.) And I don't know, how it works on your device, so ask in your device forum.

adb is not recognizing the device, so im giving up on recoverying the phone data. I tried a factory reset to fix the bootloop but it aint working either. So now i can only think of sending it to the Htc technical center, the phone is under warranty.

can you adb into the phone from your PC ?
you can try to push a rom to /data/media
boot to recovery wait about 10 seconds and the open cmd on you pc and run adb
adb push Rom.zip /data/media
wait for it to copy (it takes a while)
reboot phone back to recovery
your rom.zip should be on the phone now
Flash
your home free
Does twrp run? You should still be able to install the Rom as long as your recovery program still works.

This worked in CWM anyway
Boot into recovery
from the pc (c:\fastboot) do the adb push filename.zip /data/media
wait for it to copy
then on the phone reboot recovery your rom should be in the root of the sdcard waiting for you to flash
I just tested it and it worked perfect ( of coarse I didn't format my sdcard so ymmv )

It won't let me push anything to my phone. I'm probably doing something wrong.

I've tried all of this with no luck at all. Main version is 1.26.502.10...tried installing Nandroid backups that other posted and keep getting an error when extracting the zip. I've adb pushed ROMs to the sdcard multiple times. They load for installation, everthing seems to work, but once I reboot, it hangs on the HTC screen.
I too deleted the system files so I can't get back in the phone. Tried CWM and TWRP and tried over and over to get it to work with no luck.
Tried installing CleanROM, Stock, and one other...no dice.
Any ideas? I've been at this for two days now.

Droid DNA Stuck on Boot (NO OS)

So, i was in recovery to restore to a previous backup. I was wiping my system to prevent errors but unfortunately i wiped EVERYTHING, including the backup and the OS. So, i kept it in recovery till i got home hoping to just mount my storage and transfer a ROM over and ten install..sounds easy enough. However, i plug my phone in and click mount storage and it doesn't mount with twrp, or even clock work mod.
Soo....i have no OS, can't mount my storage..and i'm stuck.
Can i flash a ROM through command line? If so, how? And why isin't my Droid DNA mounting?
Wttttfff help asap please!
Aaannd...now i'm stuck in the boot screen and it won't turn off.
Just use either adb push or adb sideload

Nice! forgot about those commands, however it's telling me that adb is not a recognized command. I've forgotten how to fix that? Can you help with that?
Adb sideload starts up and says daemon not running, then start's it succesfully. then says device not found. I'm pretty sure i don't have the right drivers for my DNA, can you point me in the right direction for that?
I really need help, i don't think i can even turn on usb debugging because i have no OS to boot into.

What steps did you take?
I looked a little more into ad sideload. I sideloaded a zip of the Rom I wanted and then chose to flash through sideload.
You pretty much:
Download your rom and put it into your fasboot directory oin your.
Boot into recovery and choose "install" then "install zip from sideload"
It should say to now type into command promt "adb sideload romfilrname"
It then loads it, and you just hit flash after it loads.

[Q] HTC One X+ ROM problems

Hello everyone,
I have been searching in vain for a while now to find a solution to my problem and I fear that I may have done something daft to my phone.
I am using a HTC One X+ that was unlocked, s-off and rooted for about a year, i had TWRP and stock android 4.1.1. For ages I have been getting an update alert saying a software update is ready and i think it was some Vodafone update (1.17.161.7). Whenever i accepted and tried to install this it would obviously reboot into TWRP and then the update would fail. This was fine until last night when I decided to install it through TWRP, it said it failed again and i rebooted to find that WiFi wouldnt turn on, my phone was no longer rooted or s-off and that I get no signal. I tried to re-root it but command prompt on the computer or HTC Sync wouldnt recognise my device however it was appearing as HTC One X+ in My Computer and i could access the internal storage.
I restarted into recovery and managed to flash a new root using twrp and the root file using the unlockr.com - how to root the htc one x
Then thinking it was a ROM issue i downloaded and installed InsertCoin Evolution ONE X+ 5.0-6 Sense 5 Android 4.2.2.
This all went through ok however when i reboot from this install it just sticks at the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. I wiped everything using twrp beforehand.
When i restart into bootloader, it says unlocked, S-On and HBOOT -1.30.0000
Not sure what else to do as now i have no ROM, i read that you have to partition the SD card for InsertCoin to work but the option to partition SD card isnt there in my TWRP (ver. 2.3.3.0)
Any help to even reset my phone back to basic stock everything would be amazing, i have a Titanium Backup of most of my stuff saved btw.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Did you flash the insert coin boot.img?

No I just copied the whole zip file to the SD card section and installed it from there - ive encountered a new problem now in the fact that my computer no longer can recognise the phone via USB - it still appears in device manager but cant access the sd card and the sd card got wiped by twrp so now i dont have any way of getting things onto the phone that i know of. It just says - failed to open usb master mode in the bootloader. How could i get the computer to recognise the phone again so i can transfer it back onto it and try installing insertcoin again? Really hoping i havent managed to make my phone useless as ive had to dig out the old Nokia 6230 from the drawer haha!
Thanks.
EDIT - Now seen the instruction to flash the boot.img - what a fool i am. Now i need to get it recognised by USB again so i can transfer the zip file to it and go again.

Without a rom installed you're not able to acces the internal memory of your phone directly. You have to use "adb sideload" command to transfer a rom onto your phone. Look in the General and/or Q&A forum of this device, there are enough guides or topics on how to solve this "problem".

Hi use this link..may be useful (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390) by the way reaper90 is right you need to sideload the rom..
In TWRP:
1-wipe everything
2-goto advance in twrp
3-select sideload
4-navigate to the folder where you have adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll and fastboot.exe. and make sure to keep the rom and its image; bootimg there.
5-then in command prompt write (adb sideload *name of the rom*.zip) make sure the name is a letter.
6- also make sure to keep the screen alive and not let it goto sleep while adb sideload is working.
7- rom will start setup once sideload is 100%.
Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Hi, thanks very much for the responses - its much appreciated.
Nothing happens when i type that command, a load of text appears in cmd prompt showing all the adb commands and thats it, i have searched for this problem and found this on twrp website as a possible solution "You will need version 1.0.29 or higher. You can find your current version by typing "adb version" at the command line" My version says 1.0.26 I have tried to update this but cant seem to find a way to do it, would that be an issue?
I think once ive managed to sideload the zip i should be good to go its just getting to that point that seems to be stumping me at the moment.

Dont sweat it. They understood you wrong.
Guys what he wants to do is copy the file FROM the SDCARD TO the PC.
First you will need to know where the location of your rom then type in the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
If you device is not detected then try to run the CMD as an administrator and try again
then:
Code:
adb pull {location without the curly brackets}
For example if its on the SDCard then:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/rom.zip
It will paste the file to the folder where the adb is found
Then just open the zip file and get out the boot.img and flash it using fastboot
Hope this helps you out.

Hey, thanks.
No they got me correctly, there is absolutely nothing on my phone at all and I need to get my new ROM zip file from the PC to the phone so that I can install it. I am currently downloading SDK manager to try and update my adb to 1.0.29 or higher and will see if that works.

Ok, i downloaded the hasoon toolkit and select ADB Sideload a ROM and it says "error device not found" in the command prompt. I am in ADB Sideload mode in TWRP with it plugged in via USB so dont know what to try next.

Lol.. Well, as i said try to run the Toolkit/cmd as administrator and try different usb ports.. It took me 5 minutes on windows 8 for the adb to properly read the device , had to try different usb ports, unplug , replug, and so on..

[Q] Buggerit!

Good evening Ladies & Gents.
Firstly can I say, this site has been my bible, and I am so very very grateful for all the work that everyone has put in to making this site what it is.
Now down to business.
I have an HOX+ and have been flashing for about a year now but still consider myself to be a complete nub! first with hox then i broke it and now hox+. Im in a bit of a predicament.
I flashed a version of aosp 4.4 onto the phone, installed from the zip file, cleared the cache, user data and dalvik.
rebooted, and got stuck in a boot loop.
So i went to my backup and restored from there...
boot loop again.
So i went back into bootloader, then fastboot, and reflashed the viper+ 2.0.1 that I had on before.
But when I got stuck on sending boot
Now im stuck in a boot loop, none of my backups will restore properly.
I fear I am hardbricked as I cant get anything to work...
Any help before I have to be back at work tomorrow would be very helpful! and even more appreciated!
Yours
A very frustrated and stressed British nub
Sorry, also, I have checked through xda and I cant seem to find anything that would explain why I am stuck!

No, does that require different fastboot commands?
i have cwm touch recovery installed. Would that make a difference?
Also, could I just say thank you in advance for your help sir!

Well the bootlooping has something to do with not flashing the boot.img stated by yourself and lloir. About that bug of "Sending boot.img", it happens to me but I fix it by running CMD as administrator , If that doesnt work, try using a different usb port. Preferably one directly to pc/laptop rather than using a hub. Try a 3.0usb port first, if that doesnt work then 2.0usb port.
P.S Without S-Off you can't become hardbricked. Till now I didn't see a single person who bricked their HOX+ unless he received an S-Off developer phone..

stop....Hammer time...
have you got a rom on the sdcard (in cwm) if yes
wipe data/system/cache
then
reboot into bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if not ----------
full wipe (as above)
adb sideload romname.zip
then reboot into bootloader as above

I have the zip on the internal storage as i dont have "sd/ext" or what ever the extention is. When I bought the phone I never had the sd card. Never was able to save anything onto an sd card.
so should i try installing from the zip? even though the fastboot commands arent working?
or would a sideload skip the fastboot commands?
or am i just being completely retarded
Edt - just tried the sideload using the cmd, and i had error: device not found
so windows isnt recognising my phone...it was working this morning

dude, im so sorry - i didnt even see the post!
i will try now!
sorry again
edt - still no joy as for some reason my phone is no longer being recognised by my pc =[
HTC sync uninstalled ?
you have killed adb (if on windows just kick open taskman and kill adb)
or in cmd\terminal adb kill-server
then do adb devices
reboot pc?
try a different usb cable (maybe the one from your charger if you are not using that one)
*edit the above is assuming you are in recovery
IF NOT in recovery, but fastboot_usb mode
then fastboot devices (but you cannot do jack apart from flash boot image)
IF in recovery, you got a few choices
wait 5-10minutes (don't ask, it's a common issue with the X+ and CWM\TWRP)
put the device in adb sideload for a minute or so (^ see above reason)
i have adb issues in CWM\TWRP myself, especially when i have no rom and so on, so i know your frustration, patience young padwan
looking good so far

So I tried starting cmd in administrator mode [never had to before]
- Didnt work
- Plugged into a different usb slot as lloir suggested, didnt get the "windows does not recognise this device" this time
restarted cmd as admin like Ghandour suggested.
Just managed to install the viperx+ 2.0.1 rom and i am now setting it up!
THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH GUYS [and gals if either of you are female]!
do you know why I had to start using cmd as an administrator?

Glad you got it working. Just always try those common solutions:
-Restart PC
-Run as admin
-unplug replug
-reboot phone
-try different usb port
-try different usb cable.
