S10+ on oneui 2 beta 2, adb doesn't recognise device in recovery anymore - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I used "adb sideload" method to update my S10+ (AUT) to oneui beta 2. Now I'd like to update to beta 3 but when in recovery "adb devices" doesn't see my device anymore so I cannot sideload. When I reboot to system, "adb devices" shows my device without problem. I'm using stock usb cable.
Any help greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I was trying on OSX so I checked on Windows 10 and the result was the same.
EDIT2: Ok, so I went back to Pie 9 with ODIN. After that, ADB in recovery mode is back to normal. I used "adb sideload" to install beta 2, all fine, boots fine. But when going back to recovery, I get errors and device is not visible with "adb devices" once I choose the ADB update method.
This message on the phone when entering recovery mode:
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [BL:Recovery Mode Set by keys]#
E:[libfs_mgr]Unable to disable quotas on /dev/block/platform/13d60000.ufs/by-name/userdata because /system/bin/tune2fs is missing
E:[libfs_mgr]Failed trying to run /system/bin/e2fsck
Supported API:3
And then upon choosing ADB update mode:
# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0 #
Now send the package you want to apply
o the device with "adb sideload filename..."
EDIT3 : I cleared cache partition and factory reset. Now the errors are gone when entering recovery but phone still not visible with "adb devices" after entering adb update mode.
EDIT4: Ended up reinstalling only recovery from latest pie through ODIN as adb sideload as that one worked to sideload pie -> beta 2 but alas "adb devices" doesn't recognize my device. Conclusion, once updated to beta 2, I cannot use adb sideload to install beta 3. Any help appreciated

I have the same issue as you do on the S10+, except my recovery was corrupted from the beginning, on stock pie ADB sideload couldn't load due to missing usb node and configfs file.
I flashed multiple times with ODIN and it didn't bring ADB back. Luckily I had an old SD card laying around, so I have been able to flash each beta .zip from that. I've been checking ADB at each beta version, and as far as I can tell, my ADB keeps throwing the same error as yours...I'm not sure if this is a Samsung beta issue, or if our phones are just special.
Hopefully, you can continue to install the betas using an SD card.

I had the same error whem trying to flash the beta 3 update, but i solved it aplying the update.zip from a SD Card and all worked. Like the above post.

TWRP wont start ADB sideload

Hi folks!
I wanted to install Cyanogenmod as described in Cyanogenmod Wiki.
So I downloaded ioroot, rootet my phone via adb and used AutoRec to install TWRP (version 2.7.0.0).
Then I rebooted into recovery mode, wiped EVERYTHING and wanted to sideload the CM image via adb.
So in TWRP I selected Advanced/ADB Sideload and swipe to start sideload but all that happens is the notification "Starting ADB sideload feature...".
Consequently the phone is not recognized by adb on my PC.
What can I do to make the sideload feature work?
BTW: TWRP tells me that my devices doesnt appear to be rooted when I want to leave TWRP (reboot). Moreover when i want to enter TWRP again (by pressing POWER + VOLUE DOWN) I first get a screen that asks me if want to do a factory hard reset! Only if I agree (by pressing the power key) I get into TWRP.
Contrary when I enter the Download Mode (VOLUME UP when when connecting the powered off phone to the USB port) I am told that the phone is rooted. Moreover the LG Mobile Support Tool is able to detect the device and tells me that the installed software is up to date.
Thx!!
have you tried typing 'adb sideload rom.zip' on a command window on your pc? name the rom, rom.zip, and have it your adb folder.. also type the command from that folder
Make sure you're in the proper folder in prompt and the device name will be sideload if you do, adb devices.

Thanks but this doesnt help either. Same error message "error: device not found"
boot into twrp, don't start sideload
try adb devices, if you get not find you need to change the usb drivers
when you have it working, type, adb push /sdcard/ rom.zip .. check the syntax on that command, but i think that's right from memory

Stock Nexus 6P wont flash OTA

OK, so I am at a loss. I have installed Android Studio, SDK Manager and updated everything I can think of, plus everything that any developer on the web says should be updated. I have checked that the drivers are updated, but every time I try to sideload the latest OTA for my Nexus 6P I get the message "error: no devices/emulators found."
I have done the following:
a) USB debugging is enabled under Developer Options on the device
b) When I execute "adb devices" it shows the device
c) When I execute "adb reboot recovery" it reboots into In recovery
d) I then choose "select update from adb" on the device
e) And then try to execute "adb sideload angler-ota-nrd90u-ffef6b27.zip" only to be given the message that its loading and then "error" no devices/emulator found"
I have searched the web and tried all of the "fixes" and still cannot get the OTA to load, currently tried about 10 times and all have ended up needing to just reboot the system. Does anyone out there have any ideas of the problem and a solution? I have seen several forums that show others with the same issue, but none seem to verify if they have been able to correct the problem. Currently updated to Nougat through the beta program, but my devices shows that I am on NRD90M, which according to the Nexus Files for Developers is for the "ryu" for Pixel C?
Really would like to update the OS to the latest security patch prior to the October date, can anyone help?
There are different drivers for Fastboot and Recovery modes. Once your phone is in Recovery, execute "adb devices", if the phone is not listed there, go to Device Manager in Windows and install the driver.
Plug and Un-plug phone from computer after below step:
c) When I execute "adb reboot recovery" it reboots into In recovery
Faced the same issue earlier. Above thing worked for me.
I finally found a solution, had to do a lot of research but basically I needed to wipe the cache partition. Here is the site that shows you what to do.

Currently my device is updating and is at about 75%! Success!!!

Boot Loop after update -multiple attempts shows different screens after 2hours

Hi Everyone.
After look up for a 2nd hand phone works for one hours, and just dead. the google logo bootloop.
after a ton of google, i choose Nexus root toolkit to understand if that is really a "hardware fail" as everyone says, or just another OS issue.
i saw that was nothing happening after some tries (google logo still looping) to re-flash, and left the phone and goes for lunch, when i´m back suddenly i have a few different screens randomly:
1- from google logo goes for the 4 animated dots.
2- from google logo goes to "encrypt unsuccessfull"
3- from google logo goes to android animated logo.
Nexus toolkit still showing "waiting device" and no other action there.
may the brute force or persistent attempts have any different effects on that massive issue?
thanks

The common denominator of the BLOD is not being able to get into recovery mode at all. Are you able to get into recovery mode, and are you using a custom recovery (TWRP) or stock recovery? If stock have you tried doing a factory reset? The first boot will take a long time while it is encrypting.
Sounds like you are unlocked and maybe ADB debugging is enabled? Next method would be to get ADB/Fastboot installed on your PC and flash the stock Google image using the flash-all. bat file. But.... since you already have NRT running, you could open "Advanced Utilities" and fastboot format cache, system and userdata (check all 3 boxes). Then go back to the main menu and run "Flash Stock and Unroot". Use the "bootloop/semi-bricked" option. For now, don't root or install a custom recovery. Just see if you can boot into the OS.

i tried with the adb sideload the Stock one and it keeps o loop. no changes on the screen.
i'm not unlocked at all, its shows on the recovery screen. i will re-try some root and another windows7 and mac for this.
as you say, if BLOD consist to not get in to recovery, i'm safe for now, just need to figure out how to make it works.
thanks a lot so far.

You said "i'm not unlocked at all" So do you mean your bootloader is LOCKED? Also, the status of bootloader is shown in BOOTLOADER MODE not recovery mode. Perhaps you need to research the difference and answer whether your bootloader is locked (yes/no) and whether you are able to access RECOVERY MODE, or not (yes/no). And whether that is stock recovery? I have no problem with English being your second language, but you need to try to be clear in your answers so we all understand where you are so we can help you. Cheers.

thanks for all the word, V12...!
dont have english as my mother language is complicated. specially when you need help on some topics that is not available or dont have good places to go here! (brazil).
anyway, i'm following your first suggestions, and i'm going to share the results soon.
the nexus screen on recovery mode shows:
Console:NULL
Battery OK
Device is LOCKED
Qfuse status ENABLED
off-mode Chager ENABLED
download mode DISABLED.
on my first attempts, i was able to enter on ADB upload menu as you indicate on the video, was able to load the stock rom but stop on the boot loop.
the second shot was my main topic status, using nexus root toolkit with "flash stock+unroot" selecting "softbrick+bootloop". three different screen results on loop.
thanks a lot for the help, bro!

Because your bootloader is locked, the only real option is to sideload an OTA from the stock recovery. Not possible to flash a full image. You will need to find an OTA that is newer than your current build. If it won't boot, try a factory reset and boot again. If that doesn't work, try fastboot formatting (only) userdata and cache partitions and try the OTA again.
ps: encryption unsuccessful keeps on 7.1.1 NUFK26Kversion, after 30min google bootloop. will give a try with another versions, but my default built is NRD90T 7.0. that is what is showing on the recovery screen (the second one, on the power+volume up on recovery mode). runnning the nexus root toolkit and flash+unroot.
ps: i',m supposed to be almost there, just need to figure out

Firstly, NRT doesn't work flashing for you because your bootloader is locked (it even tells you this) and you need to be sure you are using an OTA image. You cannot flash a full stock image. The Flash Stock + Unroot option in NRT downloads the full image. You are supposed to use the ADB side load option from your phone's recovery and send it from your PC. Not that it makes a huge difference, but you are also using the wrong image for Verizon only in the U.S... You need N4F26O not NUFK26K. What happens when you do a factory reset from recovery mode? There is another update out next week (March Security Update) you can try that OTA when it is posted to the link above.

-Factory reset/wipe data goes OK. if i restart the system, it back to bootloop.
-for some reason, my adb sideload command is not been recognized on prompt. (windows 7 32bit)
-adb devices works and show my current device on prompt.
-NRT sideload option is aborted as "verification filed" after some steps and pointing to factory image or automatic img from NRT.
-at NRT, adb sideload device is been recognized, fastboot device recognized but adb recovery device not found status its showing up in the end.
i'm sure i'm doing something wrong, just cant figure out where..... =(

What is the name of the file you are trying to sideload, and is it an OTA? (angler-ota-n4f26o-6a853f19.zip)
What happens when you follow the method #1 on this page? You will have to "adb push" the OTA file to your phone. If you can't do this, you may not have the correct drivers installed or not have adb installed correctly.
Not sure what you mean by "for some reason, my adb sideload command is not been recognized on prompt. (windows 7 32bit)"- can you elaborate?

You can use adb push to move transfer the file over to your phone. "adb push ota.zip /sdcard/ota.zip" then use the "apply update from sdcard" option in recovery. To avoid typos/syntax errors, simply rename the file you are using to ota.zip first. I still think you might have issues with your adb/driver installation.

thanks at all for all the help. unfortunately, after successfully sideload the OTA file, boot loop still here
Sorry to hear that. See if you are allowed to fastboot FORMAT userdata and cache from your PC and try the OTA again. You may get an error formatting userdata. Remember, next week brings a new March security update, and if you haven't given up on your device you can try to flash that OTA when it is posted by Google. You can now get back to your math homework...
Before you go, does your Recovery screen still say NRD90T or did it update to N4F26O?
i can see 7.1.1 N4F26O on recovery screen.
you can bet i will not git it up on this, lol. it was a very good deal based o the value of the device here in brazil.
i'll keep this post up to date about this and let you know about any news.
thanks again for all the help bro, much appreciate it!

Cannot flash stock firmware

I want to unroot my phone and I did manage to flash stock recovery.
But now I want to flash stock firmware through adb sideload.
But when I typ adb devices it does not recognize my device and when I type the sideload command, it says error: device not found.
I am using minimal adb fastboot version 1.4.2.
I already tried to use all the different kinds of drivers @ device manager
I am really out of idea's and hope someone here knows what to do.
Edit:
When I use TWRP recovery and I use sideload, adb can recognize my device (and fastboot can also recognize my device).
So only through stock recovery adb cannot recognize my device.
And I remember that USB debugging is off, I do not know if that has to do something with this?

For the stock recovery, Side load Works.
But only Side load, not "adb devices".
After you have selected Side load from stock recovery,
(Boot in stock recovery,
Select your language, -> install from usb -> yes )
Only after this, your device will show in "adb devices"
It will show as Side load device. Then Side load as usual., It will work.
P.S. - USB debugging is not checked in recovery mode.

Sorry for late reply!
I did what you said, but I get this error:
error: device '(null)' not found
And when I select install from usb -> yes, Windows notify that there is a problem with the device and cannot recognize it.
What drivers must be installed, OnePlus drivers and ADB drivers?
Does someone know how to fix it?

The problem is stock recovery that you Install does not work well in windows 10
1 Boot in bootloader install TWRP again here
2 Reboot in TWRP Recovery
3 Wipe> Advance Wipe> Select Dalvik & Cache System & Data> Swipe to Wipe
4 Reboot in TWRP Recovery Transfer OOS 4.5.8 Full Rom Zip to the device over MTP
5 Install Menu> Select OOS 4.5.8 Full Rom Zip> Swipe to Flash
6 Reboot System
Now you are in full stock OOS
If you restart now in stock recovery you will see that sideload will work
Adb sideload with stock recovery not work in Windows 10, if you use Windows 7, you'll find that it work well.
The problem is stock recovery from the official site
This OP5_recovery.img
If you are in TWRP and install OOS stock rom sideload will work in windows 10
Had driver issues to what j did was with twrp installed I transferred the Oxygenos rom to internal storage installed it from twrp and then put the OnePlus recovery back on

Can't flash via TWRP, "failed mount system", twrp sideload not working either.. stuck

Can't flash via TWRP, "failed mount system", twrp sideload not working either.. stuck
I need my phone for work tomorrow so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm on TWRP 3.2.3-1 and was using the latest stock oreo rom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5...o-twrp-flashable-stock-builds-coming-t3830482
My phone suddenly didn't have a reception today, after rebooting I regained reception but couldn't make calls. I rebooted to recovery and tried to dirty flash the same stock twrp flashable oreo rom that I was using and it failed. Apparently the OS got corrupted. I tried repeatedly to flash the ROM and then noticed I was getting an error : failed to mount system , invalid argument. I couldn't mount system via the Mount tab in TWRP and I couldn't find anything helpful to resolve this error.
I did some more research downloaded the fastboot flashable ROM from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/moto-g5-plus-fastboot-flash-stock-oreo-t3848433 and tried to flash the rom via adb using adb sideload in twrp but twrp doesn't seem to load that function correctly. In the elevated command prompt in the adb directory I type adb sideload filename.zip and it just freezes up my PC. My device does show up with the adb devices command and shows " *Serial Number* RECOVERY ".
I don't understand what to do with the instructions in the fastboot flash stock thread I posted above and I'm at the limit of my knowledge. No idea how to proceed... any help is greatly appreciated.
I tried extracting the xml.zip into the adb folder and rebooted to bootloader/AP Fastboot Flash Mode and was going to try the commands in the fastboot Rom thread but my device only shows up in adb devices when I load twrp. uhhhhgggghhhhhh guess I'll have to buy a backup phone tomorrow while I try to get this one working
Holy hell.... I didn't realize since I was in the fastboot/bootloader I had to use "fastboot devices" command to see the device. Tried that and saw the device listed, so I created a .bat file using the commands in the fastboot roms thread above and I have a functional device again. Whohoooooo!
Did you try to format /System/ as EXT4?
