In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the “ADB Error Failed to Copy: No Space Left on Device”. So recently, I had to flash a custom ROM, but before that, I had to do a format data as well [which is a usual practice when flashing ROMs]. So once the reset was completed, I proceeded ahead and used the adb push rom.zip /sdcard to transfer the file to my device [my device’s storage was not accessible by my PC, hence I had to go with the ADB Push command].
To my surprise, I was greeted with the message that there’s no space left on the device. This left me stumped and perplexed in equal measures, as I have just reset my device, which has removed all the data, so my phone should have all the remaining free space in the world! But alas, ADB Push had something else in mind. While no doubt that it is quite an infuriating issue, fortunately, the fix is quite an easy one. So, without any further ado, let’s make you aware of the same.
Fix ADB Error Failed to Copy: No Space Left on Device
To rectify this issue, all you need to do is just restart your device. Yes, it’s as easy as that! Just head over to Reboot and select System. Now wait for the device to boot to the OS [which might take a while as your device has undergone a reset]. Once that happens, reboot your device back to TWRP and you can now easily transfer the required file via ADB Push [well, even your device’s storage will now be visible on your PC, so you can also use the Copy and Paste method to do the file transfer]. Here’s everything explained in bullet points:
- Download and extract the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
- After that, open Command Prompt inside the platform-tools folder.
- Now from TWRP, go to Reboot and select System to boot to the OS.
- Next up, enable USB Debugging and connect your device to the PC.
- Now type the below command to reboot your device back to TWRP.
adb reboot recovery
- You may now use the adb push to transfer the file without any issue.
