Hi all,
I'm here because i don't know where else to look..
I've got a nexus 9 tablet running 5.1.1, its rooted with an unlocked bootloader, running twrp custom recovery, i was trying to flash a new rom, now all i get is a constant google logo upon bootup, I can enter recovery and fastboot and all of that, but none of my computers can see the tablet in adb or fastboot when I plug it in via usb, so Im not able to flash anything from my computer, does anyone have any ideas? or have I totally ****ed my nexus 9?
I have 2 laptops running Ubuntu, and my desktop is Windows 7 with all the necessary drivers, I've never had issues connecting my devices in the past, so I'm kinda at a loss.
have you flash all the .img file manually..if yes then try to factory reset first and see what happen..if no then you need to flash stock recovery and then factory reset..hopefully it help

Check your drivers in windows again.
Nexus Root Toolkit has a driver guide if needed.
Hope your not trying "adb devices" while in fastboot mode? Try "fastboot devices" while in that mode.

I have tried to do that, factory reset just resulted in no change to the tablet

no, no, I know not to use adb devices while in fastboot, but I can put my tablet in fastboot, but any time I try to give it a command via my laptop, it just says "waiting on device", its like the computer doesn't recognize that the tablet has been connected...

change your cable connect to computer..some cable cannot sent data..happen to me

Can you enter recovery? If you can then use your computer to copy the zip file of a rom and install it. Otherwise check your cable, I had problems with the one htc gave me.

I let my cousin borrow my prime while I went out of town for a few days and when I came back my tablet was completely wiped. All that it has on it is fastboot and fastboot only has two options wipe data or usb. My tablet won't show up in adb but when I use fastboot devices command I get 00000 fastboot. I don't know if fastboot is seeing my tablet or not I'm just hoping I can fix it. After taking with people in other forums I've been trying this method

It seems to work until I get to where I have to flash Roach's modded CWM recovery. After inputting the command this is the result I get.
sending 'recovery' (5398 KB)... FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error)) finished
Does anyone here have any idea what's happening with my prime? If so please help, it will be very much appreciated.
Well, first I would make sure my PC recognizes my TPrime using "devices" command in ADB. If not, remove/uninstall any previous TPrime drivers and install Naked drivers. After that, test by using "devices" command again in ADB. After that, you can begin to utilize ADB and Fastboot commands. Also, I'd stay away from CWM and go with TWRP.

Second option, tell your cousin he owes you 500 bucks, go buy a new prime or infinity and give him the one he broke.

it is highly unlikely it is bricked for good, you could try running through the steps to enable nvflash, and at the final step rather than booting into android (which you cant) run fastboot boot recovery
I've tried that but thanks for the input

I've tried every driver I could find. I just can't get it to show up in adb devices. going through fastboot seems to work though when i use the command for fastboot to reboot the tablet it reboots. I think I will try TWRP though.

At one time, I had issues getting my PC to recognize my Prime too. You need to completely remove all prior device drivers and THEN install the naked drivers. There's a tutorial in that thread as well as a tool (I think) which you can run on your PC to help you remove previous drivers. Once you know they are gone, follow the directions to install the naked drivers. Its a little cumbersome but the process works. You're gonna keep having issues until you get your PC to recognize your Prime in ADB and Fastboot. You say Fastboot works kinda? So, in the device manager in Windows, it shows your Prime is connected as you're in Fastboot mode? If it doesn't or if it shows as an unrecognized device, I don't see how you're gonna be able to fix your issues.

Where is the tutorial and tool? I went through it and didn't see it. Even when I completely remove the drivers, when I plug the tablet into the computer when there are no drivers it tries to install it's own drivers and sometimes they install and I get Asus android device in the device manager with Asus fastboot interface as the driver. other times it just fails to install drivers. I know if I get the drivers right I can limp this tablet back to life but it just seems like no matter what drivers i use i just cant get the tablet to show up in adb.

If you go into device manager and rightclick the asus android device then update drivers. Now do not let windows choose, do it manually and point windows to the naked driver... Also there are 2 drivers.. one for intel 86 and the other for amd... 64 the numbers are at the end of the file name if I remember correctly... be sure to choose the correct one for your pc chip otherwise yeah you can do it all day and get no where... When you try adb, I will assume you are in recovery mode and not fastboot because they are 2 different horses... If you only have fastboot then you should consider installing an older version of twrp like 2.1... I posted it somewhere in here.... that should get you into recovery where you can adb a rom to the prime.... check for posts by me, I have explained this a few times here.....
From a previous post.....
go here ....http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1615990 this is twrp.... download then follow the fastboot install instructions
At this point you probably want to follow the nvflash instructions to install the custom bootloader since twrp says it needs it... go back here and follow instructions... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1774352
start again from ******now boot to recovery....
From the sounds of it you have no rom atm... no big deal... download a rom.. i suggest blackbean or eos...
blackbean found here... http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topi...ackbean-(8-15)
eos found here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1782413
Download and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1426502 naked drivers.... follow the instructions...
I prefer blackbean... anyways.... now download nvflash from here http://androidroot.mobi/?p=452
Unzip the file.. put your rom where you find adb.exe shoudl be in C:\nvflash\tf201_nvflashpack if you put the file in C:
*******Now.... boot to recovery... connect tab to the pc.... with the windows open (nvflashpack) clcik in the window... press and hold shift button the right clcik mouse and select open command prompt here... this should give you the command prompt.
Now copy this adb devices right click in the command prompt window and paste... press enter... you should see your transformer...
now type adb push /name of rom you downloaded .zip/ sdcard
This should push the rom to your tab... it will take about 5 minutes be patient....
Install the zip through cwm....
After you accomplish this, you should complete the nvflash instructions and make your backups...

Okay, so basically I am a HUGE idiot. My phone has been running the latest version of ParanoidAndroid and I decided that I wanted to try MIUI. I booted into TWRP v2.6.3 and wiped everything a couple of times before installing it, and I forgot to install the boot.img afterwards (it was s-on). So now everytime I turn the phone on, it is just always on the boot animation for an eternity, and my computer won't recognize my phone so I can't use fastboot or use an RUU. I am also unable to flash PH98IMG from the phone itself. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you very much in advance.

Take out the battery, put it back together, power on the phone while holding down the volume down key til you get the splash screen, that'll boot you to the bootloader...
No I understand that, but there's nothing I can do from the bootloader. Once I get there, I can either go to TWRP or choose Fastboot. When I choose fastboot, it will say Fastboot USB after connecting to my PC but it will still not show up or be recognized (and I have the drivers). My only other options are Recovery (TWRP), factory reset (also TWRP), clear storage, simlock, and image crc. All I need to do is load the boot.img file, but it appears to me I have no way of doing that now.

Being seen in fastboot has nothing to do with the ROM at all, you need to troubleshoot this from the PC end. When you start fastboot on the phone and connect to your PC you get nothing? Not even a connect sound?

I do get the connect and disconnect sounds. Whenever it makes the connect sound, it doesn't show up under "Devices with Removable Storage." When I heard the connect sound the first time I went to the cmd prompt and typed "fastboot devices" but it showed nothing.

It won't show up as a drive at all in Fastboot mode, to see if it is connected properly go to Device Manager and look for ADB Interface -> My HTC, if it isn't there then your drivers are not installed properly. Drivers come from HTC Sync, which can be downloaded here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/content.aspx?id=6196 once installed and the connections in Fastboot and ADB verified to be working, HTC Sync can be uninstalled (the drivers will stay).
When you run "fastboot devices" you get nothing? Or do you get something like "< waiting for device >" or literally nothing?
What version of Windows are you running, you need to be on Windows 7 or older? Running under Windows 8 is not recommended.

Ah, that may be my problem then, as I am on a Windows 8 computer. I will try all of this on a friends W7 computer in the next few hours and report back with the results. And when I did fastboot devices it literally said nothing and was ready for another command. Thanks for the help!

You can also use a live Linux CD like Ubuntu and boot that and install the Linux version of ADB, it works fine.
Hello I am going in circles trying to get my phone back up and running. It can only load into twrp or recovery and i have a custom rom i am trying to flash because accidentally erased the whole phone alongside the operating system.

If you can do "fastboot devices" then that means you are either in bootloader or fastboot mode. If that is the case, then "adb devices" would not find your device because it's not in the correct mode to be able to do so. You can access your phone with adb when it's either booted or most recoveries, but fastboot/bootloader mode is only for fastboot commands. Without knowing what phone you have and what update it is / was on, I can't really provide any more direct help. But typically there is a way to reload the OS via fastboot on most devices such as HTCs, Motorolas, and Nexus devices, to name a few.

adb devces does not work in clockwork mod either.....what is the easiest way to get this custom rom sent to my internal sd card if the phone wont boot up and os is wiped off the phone? it is an htc one...
adb should work in CWM... You might have to manually load the driver. Even if every driver works when the phone is booted and all, Windows can still have issues finding the right one in recovery. Check in your device manager. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to see if your recovery supports USB OTG and see if you can load like that. If none of that works, you'll have to reload the OS via RUU and start over with root/recovery/etc.
Mount USB and copy it from your PC to the phone or do sideload.

Neither of those things are options for the OP. He can't boot, so he can't mount USB (mounting USB in recovery hasn't worked for most phones since JB where most phones don't support USB mount - only MTP) and he can't sideload because he hasn't been able to get ADB working.
His options now are:
Find out why the adb driver isn't loading so he can just adb commands to push the file or sideload
USB OTG
Return to stock via RUU
I unlocked the bootloader and went to root. on the first reboot after rooting it's stuck on the boot animation. When i plug the device into my PC and use the cmd prompt "adb devices" it won't see it. I help the power button and vol down to get to fastboot and my pc still won't see it. i've tried to factory reset though fast boot, says erasing, then reboots and still stuck. I updated everything in adb and still nothing. Everything went fine with unlocking the bootloader, but rooting it totally messed something up.
I can't seem to figure out how to get my PC to see this thing again. It's kind of a crap tablet to begin with, and now i brick it? totally frustrated.
Thanks
when you connect to pc,did you hear pop up connect sound..if yes then you connect to your pc..download google factory image,flash system.img,boot.img and all other .img image..hopefully you can restore tab back to nermal..good this is your tablet already unlocked bootloader.

Adb can do almost nothing when your device is in fastboot mode. Use fastboot to see if your device is connected to your computer if you didn't do so.
try "fastboot devices".

Can i use that port to force adb to see it? Not sure if this helps
gotta run to work, i'll mess with it this afternoon. Thanks guys.
First make sure your in "fastboot" mode and not in the bootloader.
Your device should show up as under Android Device as "Android Bootloader Interface" in device manager on your PC.
If not there then your drivers are not configured correctly, Nexus Root Toolkit has a guide on how to setup drivers correctly.

I tried uninstalling the drivers from device manager and that didn't seem to do it. I went into the sdk and deleted them from the sdk then reinstalled them through the sdk and that seemed to work. I feel like i should have thought of that! duh. flashing CM13 now! hope i can get this to work haha jeeze.

I had installed Kali Nethunter 3 on my Nexus 9 with TWRP, then it started to bug out, so I 'factory reset' it to stock Marshmallow, but when I look in the 'About Tablet' it is still showing [email protected] #2 in the kernal version. I would like to flash stock Nougat, but I cant get my ADB to authorize. I cant get the RSA key authorization dialogue to come up on my device. I do have USB debugging enabled.
If I plug it in while the adb server is started, it does generate adbkey files inside the .Android folder on the Windows machine. I was thinking that I could put these adbkey files into whatever folder they are supposed to be in, on the nexus 9 (data/something...? my data folder looks empty).
Alternatively, could I just put the nougat image onto my nexus 9 and flash it back to stock using TWRP? Ideally making my kali root kernal go away forever? I am not concerned about losing any data.
Not really sure what I am doing here, I just want stock unrooted Nougat and I want my ADB to work again (so I can use it to debug my Android Studio apps)! Thanks.

ADB at least can see the device - just says its unauthorized.
I'm not familiar with either of the commands you mentioned as I've never used them. If 'fastboot devices' doesn't return your device, try updating all PC device drivers related to android while connected to fastboot. You don't need adb to install google images, but you need your PC to recognize device (as you know).
EDIT: Is your tab rooted? If so, you can use FlashFire to run the installation without a computer.
If no joy so far, disconnect tab, remove all drivers and let PC redo them when you reconnect. You should get the authorization prompt again.

so actually it was unrooted during my last factory reset. i finally figured out how to use fastboot to update to nougat, and all the remnants of kali in the kernal is gone. my ADB is working fine now, and i can test on my nex9 from android studio. i used this guide: http://wccftech.com/flash-nbd91k-android-7/
life is good. thanks guys.
