I do not use ADB. What is preventing your computer from accessing your Droid?
Typically, once your phone is mounted your computer should recognize your phone.

The farthest I can get is sprecovery-- I had to wipe because I f###ed up a theme.

What did you wipe your SD card or memory?

Ehhhh.... I wiped data and cache and did a reset. The farthest I can get during boot is to the little eye, or I can get into recovery.

This is literally THE ONLY THING I NEED TO KNOW, then I can create the folder and be ready to go.

you can mount your sd card through SPrecovery...
mount options
usb mass storage....that should do it..

I do that and it says Removable disc but when I click on it it says "please insert a disc." Running XP 32 bit.

Give me a minute out two...i know adb will allow to create directories...gonna be a decent string of code, but we'll figure it out.

Have you previously installed roms via nandroid? Because you should still have the folder if you have. And if you still have the folder, ask you'll need to do is push the files...I'll go break my laptop out.

You do have drivers for the phone installed right?

Agreed. That's important too...

Also, how long did you let your phone sit when you got to the eye? Sometimes it just takes longer.

However...I'm not exactly sure what SPrecovery's factory reset does...If it tries to reset your phone exactly to how it is out of the box, minus flashing the stock recovery and losing root, that's probably your problem.

(There's a good lesson here for others...You should ALWAYS create a nandroid backup of you setup before trying to theme. Then it's just a matter of restoring if things don't go according to plan)

I'd still like to know if you have previously installed any other nandroid backups or installed a rom using nandroid, as that would mean that the folder already exists.

I think that rootyourdroid.info has some commands that can tell you how to create a new directory, but their bandwidth had been exceeded when I tried to get on there to find it, and googling "adb command create directory" didn't turn up what we're looking for...

in shell,
mkdir /sdcard/yourfoldernamehere

if you want more unix commands, just search "unix commands" on google.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

in shell,
mkdir /sdcard/yourfoldernamehere

There it is! I knew I've seen that code somewhere! Thanks for the help!

How do I create permission to let me do that? Thank so much everyone!

I let it sit for quite a while, blank screen with the charging light on. I have not done a single nandroid-related thing before, plus I wiped my sdcard. Don't know why I did that, but I figured I might as well wipe everything while I'm at it.

So now I'm going to try this....

Okay, it seems to have created the directory. I pushed the folder of the nandroid backup to sdcard/nandroid and the restore failed. Here's what it said:

Mounted /sdcard
This should do a default nandroid restore
Attempting default nandroid restore

ERROR: Nandroid exited with status 20
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:/nandroid

Is there something I forgot to do?

So.... I tried to do mkdir /sdcard/nandroid but Nandroid exited with error 20 when I tried to restore. Any idea what that means?
