The answer is truly Windows, though. It's about device enumeration in device manager. ADB Debug in system is *NOT* the same as ADB sideload. It's considered a separately enumerated device. But because it's literally the same hardware, Windows gets...."confused" from time to time. When you switch the USB port, it gets a different device address which Windows then goes "oh, hey, I should load a driver for that." It's freaking stupid.

Sounds similar to what happened when I connected my Taimen to my computer using a USB BT dongle - connected perfectly fine the first time - but after disconnecting, it refuses to connect again. It has gotten confused about the phone lol.

And this is what confused the $#!+ out of me. One day everything works fine, next day it all goes to pot. I'm seriously considering putting Ubuntu on my spare system and using that for future OTA flashes. At least Linux is somewhat readier to use.

I'm getting ready to get my workhorse Lenovo laptop back from a friend who has been borrowing it while I fixed his laptop - he gets his back, I get mine back, and I think my Dell Inspiron 15 Celeron-based machine gets *nixed.

Yup.  Windows is VERY BAD at enumerating devices and if anything seems "off" it'll refuse and tell you it's "unknown".  And fixing that can be a right pain in the ass.

Yea, I SOOOOOOOOOO wish MS had listened to me about WSL and made it so that we could enumerate Android devices over USB.  But no.  Use a VM. It's fairly painless to set up.

I'm going to factory reset my Shamu and lock the bootloader again.  Hopefully I won't have any issues.

[SamuriHL]

You shouldn't.

[johnlgalt]

I didn't

There's a damn bug in the House of Nexus!  I'll fix it at some point soon but if your image isn't in the images folder and you select it wherever it happens to be the script is written with the path from the images folder regardless.  WOOPS

• Nothing too special here.  Fixed an idiotic bug in OTA file selection outside of the HoN directory
