I have read multiple instructions regarding how to root the Pixel XL (non Verizon) which look pretty straight forward; however, one instruction set said to copy the twrp img file to the adb folder while another set of instructions said to copy the twrp img file to the Partition-Tools sub folder. Wondering which is correct (or does it matter)?
Thanks for your help.
If adb.exe and fastboot.exe are in your path, just open a command prompt in the directory the twrp img file is in and run the commands. If not, copy the img file to the directory with adb and fastboot, open a command prompt there, and run the commands. Another alternative is to open a command prompt in the directory with adb and fastboot, and run the commands with the full path of the img file.

I just upgraded to Netarchy 2.2 Rom. I then attempted to restore a data.img file from one of my Nandroid backups.
I copied the data.img to my >androidsdk/tools folder then using Fastboot USB I tried to execute [fastroot flash userdata data.img]from the adb shell.
I got the following error: sending 'userdata' (317381 KB)...FAILED (remote: data length too large)
I did not use Ti Backup for my data, just Nand backup.
Can anyone shed some light on where to go from here. I have searched...
Thanks

Give these steps a try...
How to restore individual components of a nandroid backup.
1. Locate the backup on your SD Card under the folder "Nandroid".
2. Navigate to the target backup folder.
3. Copy the folder(s) that you want to push back to the phone (i.e. data.img to a new directory on your pc; c:\nandroidbackup).
4. Open the cmd prompt (type "fastboot devices" to verify that your pc sees your phone). If not, you will need to change to the directory containing fastboot. This might be be c:AndroidSDK Directory \ tools.
5. Type "adb shell reboot recovery" in the cmd prompt to get to the bootloader. Then type "exit" to quit the adb shell. *Alternatively: manually use the buttons on the phone to get into FASTBOOT mode.
6. At the cmd prompt type "cd:<target folder location>" i.e.
the location of the data.img file (example cd c:\nandroidbackup) to change to the directory with the backup location.
7. At the cmd prompt now type "fastboot flash userdata data.img" [enter]. It should now indicate: "sending" followed by "writing".
8.When done, type "fastboot reboot" [enter].
Good Luck!

Thanks for the detailed reply...
I might not have been clear in my post, but the above was exactly what I did, and got the error I'm inquiring about.
Thanks again...
Sorry if you already tried this... The difference I noticed from your original post is in: Step 6. The command "Fastboot Flash...." is entered from the command prompt, not within adb shell at that point.
That was my understanding of the instructions.
Hey all. I'm trying to install Takju on my Yakju Galaxy Nexus on a Mac. I have my folder with the Google factory images and fastboot-mac inside of it. When I navigate to the folder and type in:
./fastboot-mac flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
It says ./fastboot-mac: No such directory. Any ideas why? I have the fastboot-mac file smack dab in the folder. My phone is in bootloader mode as well.
So you've pointed terminal at the proper folder? Have you tried just renaming it Fastboot? It doesn't have to be called Fastboot-Mac.
What happens if you do a ./fastboot devices? Make sure you've turned on USB debugging and booted into fastboot mode.
I use this ADB and Fastboot just fine: View attachment Mac_ADB_Fastboot.zip

It says the same thing, no such file or directory.
To navigate to the folder I simply drag it into the command prompt and press enter right?

you have to do "cd" then drag the folder in.
For example I have my ADB/Fastboot folder in my home directory, so I open Terminal and type:
Code:
cd <Fastboot folder name>
and the Terminal will return properly:
Code:
<Computer Name>:<Fastboot folder name> <home folder name>$
If the folder was on your desktop:
Code:
cd Desktop/<Fastboot folder name>/
Ah, thanks for that. But now when I do:
./fastboot-mac flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img
It says -bash: ./fastboot-mac: Operation not permitted

Are you admin on your computer? You can always try doing a sudo.

Ok it's hopefully just something I'm overlooking but haven't gotten it to work so far. I have ADB and Fastboot set up on computer and the phone is T-Mob m8, unlocked, rooted, TWRP, Custom ROM, S-Off, Super CID. I have downloaded the radio zip, extracted the radio.img and put it in the adb folder in my c drive. Now I followed a couple of steps posted:
Fiash via adb:
1. Download the radio.img above
2. Put the radio.img file into your ADB folder
3. Open up command prompt and copy and paste the EXACT lines
4. adb push radio.img /storage/sdcard0/radio.img
5. adb shell
5. su
6. dd if=/storage/sdcard0/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20
7. adb reboot
I get cannot stat "radio.img" no such file or directory any suggestions? thanks
but each time i get a file not found so what is
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=f...ce08cd20294c7e0997d32ce5203bee4a606a03d8be1b9
i used this to fix my radio problems. flashable in twrp
Okay, make sure the radio.img is in the folder you have adb and fastboot setup, then do the following once your phone is connected to your computer:
Open command and type the following:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio NAME_OF_FILE_.img
Then reboot your phone afterwards.

Thanks! got it working, I knew I was having a vegetable moment, I was putting the radio.img in the actual adb folder. Once I removed it from there and put it in the c: drive folder it worked like a charm :good:

Tried these steps
Connect to your Fire TV using ADB
(If you don’t know how, follow up to Step 4 Part 2 in our Windows or Mac guide)
Run the command: adb shell
Run the command: su
(If this is the first time you’ve ever run su, a pop-up will appear on the Fire TV, select Grant)
Run the command: chmod 777 /cache
Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery
Run the command: cd /cache/recovery
Run the command: echo “--update_package=/cache/update.zip” > command
Run the command: exit
Run the command (yes, again): exit
Run the command: adb push update.zip /cache
(This assumes the update.zip file you renamed in step 2 is in the same directory as adb, otherwise enter the full path to the file like adb push C:\full\path\to\update.zip /cache)
Once the update.zip file has finished transferring to the Fire TV, run the command: adb reboot recovery
The update.zip file is on the same folder where the adb platform-tools is located, but when I enter the full path it says no such file or directory.
Mine looks like this C:\Users\XXX\platform-tools>adb push update.zip /cache
What am I doing wrong, please help
CD to the directory first . then enter adb push update.zip /cache

when you push a file with adb, the file must be in the same folder/path you're running the adb command from. From your example, you need update.zip on your PC at C:\users\Stevie G\platform-tools\
The error is saying the file isn't at that path.

might have issues with the space in Stevie G, try a folder without spaces.
