ADB HELP

I have tried every process I can find in the forum regarding rooting and ADB but I cannot seem to figure this out. I would like to think that I am computer literate and that I know my way around pretty well but somehow this escapes me. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and can't seem to get anything right as far as this process goes.
Is there a rooting/adb for dummies section that someone can point me to?

the sticky wiki for guides at the top of the front page....
try to look around a little before starting new threads.

Thanks for your help...I did look around but I still can't get it to work. I've been through quite a few threads. I don't know if I'm missing something somewhere or what.

is your problem your computer not seeing the phone?
i RUU'd my phone earlier today to test out something i did, but then i found out that adb couldn't connect anymore. i'm still trying to figure it out.

Exactly what are ya having problems with?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
1. HTC Sync installed?
2. Android SDK downloaded?
3. Debugging enabled on the phone?
4. is ADB showing up in the Device manager?
5. Check this thread out dealing with x64 drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560962

Hmmm..
I have Win7 64bit too
I think I just downloaded the newest Android SDK and HtcSync for the Eris. It
works fine for me. What exactly is the issue? You have the phone in debug mode or whatever mode right?
some folks have used PdaNet
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php

first off, I can't get Sync to work at all no matter which version I've tried. Then the drivers won't load for sdk. it just seems like nothing is working together at all.

alright, i figured it out.
uninstall HTC Sync and the HTC Drivers.
reinstall.
done.

Alright... what's your main problem? Are you not able to get the ADB driver to work with your phone in Windows 7 64 bit -- if so, do know that it is possible, because I have it working fine on my computer (Win 7 64B).
If ADB driver situation is your problem, do as follows:
1. Download the file below (to desktop for easy access - This is the Vista 64 bit Drivers)
2. Unzip
3. Go to Device Manager
4. Find ADB (It should come up as ADB with a Yellow Exclamation mark next to it)
5. Right click on it, choose update driver
6. When it asks you to auto find the driver or browse for the driver -- choose BROWSE.
7. Set the path to where you downloaded the file, and then click next.
8. If done correctly, you should see a window pop up that says "Successfully installed My HTC driver".
ADB will work after that is complete. To test, open CMD - go to androidsdk\tools folder, and then run adb devices (If serial # appears, there you have it).
Also with the method above, this will allow the HTC Sync application to work as well.
Source: ME, tested extensively and more than once.

HTC Sync for the Hero was released before Win7, so the Vista drivers will work but you have to jump through some hoops.
Now the Eris version is the same HTC Sync but it has drivers for Windows 7, it is the same software but is bundled with newer drivers.

Roger that guys, thanks for the help. I will attempt tonight when I get back to my computer.

Ok just got home and am doing the suggested things, after installing the SDK it wants me to install packages and when I choose cancel, windows says the program was not installed correctly. what do i need to install?!
Also no ADB in device manager!

yeah they took out the packages of the SDK, so you have to add them in as needed.
I have a 2nd Win7 box that's an Android virgin, I will try and run through the install tonight(off at 5pm PST)when I get home and I'll document the install.
hang in there.

That would be awesome, I'm at the point where I am just about to give up. I have never been so frustrated with a computer. This is the first Windows 7 system I have done anything with and I already don't like it.

Install packages? What? Weird, the Android SDK is natively 32 bit, but will work in Windows 7 64 BIT (That's what I'm running now).
Alright, steps to take:
1. Uninstall/remove everything you did before.
2. Grab the Windows Android SDK -- download it (to the desktop is fine)
3. UNZIP/Extract the SDK
4. Drag the Android SDK to the root of your drive (Local Disk C: )
5. For easy access purposes, RENAME the Android SDK from what you see to something like: androidsdk
6. Open Command Prompt
7. Verify that you can get to the "androidsdk" directory by running the command: cd androidsdk\tools
8. If you can get there -- then good, so far.
9. Now to test "adb" -- Have your phone connected to the PC.
10. While still in command prompt and STILL in the c:\androidsdk\tools: dir... run command: adb devices
11. This should return your Serial #
12. If your serial # shows up, then make sure you can run the command adb shell and see if you get the # sign, which indicates that you are rooted -- If not, then you need to begin the process of rooting your phone.
Also, if ADB doesn't work after this point, do what I told you earlier, I can guarantee that it does work, because I actually did it this morning on my work computer (Which is Windows 7 64 Bit).
Good luck, report back.

Holy crap it looks like it worked!! Thanks Pseudo! Now if I could only get my damn phone to find Sync I'd be all set.
Still can't get sync to register with phone but that's no biggie. But have a small issue that I dunno where to look to find an answer. I'm trying to update my recovery from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2 and can't seem to follow the directions appropriately.
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys)
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
None of that seems to work lol.

So since we're on the subject does anyone know how to set up the drivers for linux mint kde? I'm brand new to linux and I've managed to do some things but that is just one thing that i cant do so far and after almost a day pf searching this forum and others i just cant seem to get it

First off, no problem for the help -- glad it worked. What ROM are you currently running, that would be helpful in solving your sync issue.

Alright, lets begin - To upgrade to RA 1.6.2, (You have to be in recovery mode (Home + Power) -- and also have your phone connected to the PC). Then do as follows:
1. Download the 1.6.2 file
2. Copy or move it to your androidsdk\tools folder
3. Run commands below:
Code:
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img /sdcard
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell
Code:
mount -a
You'll probably get the next line below -- that's okay.
Code:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: No such file or directory
Keep going...
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
After you do this, the shell should return #, if it does, then run:
Code:
reboot recovery
Now verify that your recovery says 1.6.2.
Good luck.

Well, since you've asked a good question, I shall direct you in the right direction. Linux Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, so this guide should work for you., however do note that I have not tested this in Linux Mint, as I currently run Ubuntu 9.10, but you should be okay.
Go HERE and bookmark this page for reference, it has some good stuff -- Now this guide is not directly for our phones (CDMA HERO), however the directions, if followed correctly... DO WORK and have been tested by me (did this last night) with successful results.
When you get to the web page, start at "Generic Linux Instructions". Also, when you get to the heading "Set up ubuntu to recognize your phone, and the adb/fastboot commands in the terminal" -- step 4 will ask you to create an empty file, use the Ubuntu 9.10 format and NOT the older versions, again this format should work in the latest version of Linux Mint.
Hope that helps. Also, if have problems or want a step by step tutorial (pending how "new" to Linux you are), just ask me or PM me, I'll write one up.

How to install apk's?

Totally new to android, anyone mind explaining?

the command is "adb install <path/name of apk>".
do it from your computer in a shell/terminal.

Do I have to mess with the NDK at al? I thought I saw something on that...

Bump, more info please?

NDK? Did you mean SDK (android for windows developer kit), If so yes. Download and install. Follow the link below for drivers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882751
Once SDK and drivers are installed, connect the NC. open command prompt (start menu, run, CMD), type adb devices
You should get a return back of some numbers and DEVICE. This means SDK and drivers were installed correctly. Once ADB (SDK) is installed correctly follow this thread.

Even though I installed the JDK 6u23, the Android SDK installer won't let me install because it doesn't see the JDK installed...

I used the same 623 package, installed that, then reboot, then install the SDK. BTW what OS are you using?

My SDK install is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows
When I run in cmd:
cd\
cd Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
I can run adb commands. The thread wants me to run sqlite3 commands too, but they are in a different directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools
I am pretty confused on what to do

Do you guys use search at all or check the development forum for this device i mean come on its all in black and white.

I don't know what I did exactly, but I managed to install apk's from the root of my SD card
sweet

Please someone help!
After following instructions of Easy USB ADB Installer for Windows, and running adb devices, my nook didn't show up as a device.
Also I tried installing a software and it said application not install.
Thanks in advance

Easier thing to do is go into Settings --> Application --> Unknown Sources then download an APK with your Browser and install it from the Downloads window. I suggest finding an APK for Astro File Manager and get Dropbox, that way you can install Apps straight from Cloud storage.

Getting Lotus Notes Traveler on non rooted Captivate phones (or other Android phone)

I hope this post can be of use to someone. My workplace is running Lotus Notes (sigh) and IBM recently released an update to their Traveler server which supports Activesync sychronizaton of mail, contacts, calendar and directory on Android, Iphone, etc.
The only problem is AT&T blocks Sideloading. Yes a simple root can fix the issue but that is not a true solution for every Captivate for our users. I figured out a relatively easy method of getting around this limitation.
First you need the following:
Rooted Captivate (to obtain the .apk files necessary) Only needed once, I would upload the necessary files but IBM won't like that very much.
Computer with Captivate drivers and Android SDK
The Lotus Traveler setup requires two installs which makes the process more tricky than simply doing an adb install lotusinstaller.apk, so we need a few more steps.
1. On your PC download the Lotusinstaller.apk file from your traveler server and copy it to you sdk\tools folder.
2. Plug your rooted Captivate phone into you computer with debugging mode on and use adb to issue the following command "adb install lotusinstaller.apk"
3. Open the installer application on your phone and enter the required server and authentication information for your system and click next. (this will create the server setting on the phone and download the lotustraveler.apk file to your rooted phone.) I can't remember the exact location so simply do an adb shell then "su" to gain super user rights and then do a find -name LotusTraveler.apk (or *.apk and find the lotustraveler.apk)
4. copy this file to your computer. One easy way would be to adb pull LotusTraveler.apk c:\location of sdk\tools\
Now that you have both the lotusinstaller.apk and lotustraveler.apk you will not need the rooted captivate for future phone setups.
5. Now to setup a stock Captivate. Enable usb debugging
6. adb install lotusinstaller.apk
7. launch the installer and enter the appropriate settings on the phone and click next. It will attempt to download the lotustraveler.apk and then give you an error about not being able to install applications that aren't from the market. Ignore that and close the installer.
8. now issues abd install lotustraveler.apk on your pc
You're done. The installer setup the initial server settings and the lotustraveler did the rest.
To setup more phones begin from step 5 from now on
***Disclaimer***
I wrote this up simply from memory so I'm sorry if this is not 100% accurate with the commands etc.

you could user the The Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine to put .apk's on the device and not need to root.
Just a thought.

I'll try the wonder machine first. thanks for that tip.
Your suggestion won't work as stated in my walkthrough. The initial apk downloads another apk to your phone somewhere in the system directory. Once you have both apk files it's a simple "adb install lotusinstaller.apk" then "adb install Lotustraveler.apk"

wonder machine causes the issue of not being able to install the second apk file as stated in my last post. It can replace adb install after you have both apk files on your computer.

I need to get the second file to install it on my non-rooted phone.
Does anyone know the location of the download on the phone so it can be pulled via adb?

How do I transfer apps from my pc to my rooted nook touch?

Hello everybody! I have a lot of android apps on my pc and I want to transfer them to my nook, but I don't know if it is possible. If it is, which folder do I drop them off in? I tried to find where the other apps are installed in my nook that I directly download from the android market, but I can't find their location. Please help me out, I really need some of the apps I have and I can't even find them or can't download them directly. Thank you for your time!

Thanks for taking your time to help me I really appreciate it. I've run into a problem though. when I try to set up adb it wont find my device in the cmd prompt. I am following these instructions to set up adb: search in youtube "ANDROID SDK Tools (How-To Install)" first video. I get stuck at the part at 6:23 it just says "list of devices attached" and doesn't list anything. I don't know what am doing wrong .

psbear532,
You can use a file explorer program (astro, es explorer, etc), and choose the apk on sd and install it. Just remember to use nookcolortools and de-select and re-select the non-market app box.
I guess it would be easier - I haven't had luck with adb so far...

Assuming you've successfully rooted your NST:
1: Enable wifi on your NST and make a note of the IP address assigned to it.
2: Tell adb to connect to that IP
Code:
adb connect 10.0.0.2
That's it, if adb was able to connect you can now adb push or adb install all you want

Why?, apart from having to download and install the Android SDK, using adb should be straightforward unless you're trying to get it to connect to the NST trough usb.

Maybe that was my mistake. I've always tried using USB :S

Getting adb to work over USB on the NST is a pain in the a**
Some people have reported getting it to work with the Google drivers, but none of them worked for me in W7. Also I'm unable to try it in Ubuntu as I'm running that trough VMware Player and I cannot redirect the USB port properly.

Thank you both so much! Ros87 I got it to work over wifi which I think is even better since now I don't even have to deal with the wire. apeine I didn't try your method since adb worked, but thanks for your time anyway.

So why don't you install linux on a separate partition?

How does one do this without an SD card? I will be getting one soon, but for now, can I just create a temporary folder on the home directory and install it from there? Does it automatically install to the apps directory?
Thanks!
EDIT: I just figured out how much you can browse with the computer. So...

The simplest method is to just copy the apps to an SD card, insert the card,browse to the .apk location,tap on the .apk file, you will be prompted with an screen asking if you want to proceed to install or just use the adb over wifi method as explained above

I use and app names Airdroid. It allows you to install apps remotely from your computer via wifi.

I have an "apk" folder in my UbuntuOne account, Dropbox should work too.
then i have the app for the service installed.
it works fine for me

How to root me572c Lollipop

First of all, many thanks for 4pda members.
It's time to post new thread for Lollipop.
This is for Kitkat me572c users.
(I can't make link so just copy the url)
● Lollipop firmware (UL-K007-WW-12.14.1.12) with root
Code:
mega.nz/#!LwJ3VBxK!4V4Ay-RzLS8x609zvyWL8IlcgI3xxfLcSqZ3gZkc52Q
● Install-Recovery.rar
Code:
mega.nz/#!C5ghzL6R!GR0WgLCumy6a429kB0ZjQOMxjPSylz07fVnHtKVm8ng
● ADB Driver
Code:
mega.nz/#!YAlxVbYS!7xfADRLuvcyO1GxRHtre3_e1TaVPmtIykqGbKCzUkkk
1) Can only be set on 4.4.2 (Kitkat). If you have already installed Lolipop, you must first revert to Kitkat. The computer should be installed ADB driver for the tablet and the tablet is turned on for the USB debugging. (no need to backup Internal memory. every data remain. but just in case, back up your data.)
2) Connect powered tablet to the computer. Download the firmware and rename it MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip, copy to the root of the memory card(MicroSd card) of the tablet. Download the archive Install-Recovery.rar and unpack it on your computer.
3) Run Install-Recovery.cmd, after the black command window turns up, volume buttons to select SD Download and power button for confirm. This will start the process of firmware.

Can anyone post instructions (in English hopefully because I'm lingual challenged) on how to revert back to KitKat if you've already upgraded to Lollipop? I didn't think that was possible...
Thanks so much!

I did a rough translation of the steps for downgrading in this thread. I haven't tried it myself, though, so I can't guarantee success.

It worked yes! Thanks! The only problem I have is my navbar icons is still kitkat, so is my wifi icon/battery. I'm just going to get the xposed module I guess and figure out later while it hasn't changed. But woo!
edit: (DOH!) that's what exposed moduel Xstana is for, nevermind the issue about navbar icons and the other icon problems.
You should include this in OP.

I wouldn't try it. The process involves loading ROM images made specifically for the ME572C..

A few questions about this.:
* Is there a way to do this in Linux? I don't own a Windows computer, but I have the full Android SDK installed, including ADB and fastboot.
* Is the Recovery.rar necessary if I am still on Kitkat? I assume this changes out the stock recovery with something else. Is that correct?
* Does this actually unlock the bootloader?
* My tablet is currently running 4.4.2. KVT49L.WW_epad-11.8.3.31-20150126 release-keys
044000309_201407240016. Any problems upgrading from this version?
Thanks
EDIT: Here is a very slightly modified script from the original for Linux. You must have adb and fastboot already installed for this work. These are included in the Android SDK for Linux. Copy and past this into a new file called Install-Recovery.sh and make it executable. You will still need the recovery.img file from the original Install-Recovery.rar archive. I don't think you will need anything else.
THIS IS UNTESTED!
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Waiting for device connection..."

I'm using linux tools comes with Intel Phone Flash Lite tool instead of google tools.
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-phone-flash-tool-lite
adb and fastboot are installed into /usr/lib/phoneflashtoollite/ and changed path for the tools are changed and done manually.
Now I've just succeeded to install LoliPop into my tab after almost 2 days efforts(thank all contributors!!) but I can't reproduce accurate steps in linux(ubuntu) environment.... At least I used windows environment for downgrading from non-rooted 5.01 to 4.4.2...
Good luck !

adb and fastboot are installed into /usr/lib/phoneflashtoollite/ and changed path for the tools are changed and done manually.
Now I've just succeeded to install LoliPop into my tab after almost 2 days efforts(thank all contributors!!) but I can't reproduce accurate steps in linux(ubuntu) environment.... At least I used windows environment for downgrading from non-rooted 5.01 to 4.4.2...
Good luck !

As I do not need to downgrade, I think my script will work. I just have not had the time to try it. When I do flash this, I will probably just type in the commands manually so I can what is happening easier. I would just really like to know more about this new Recovery before flashing. Is a CWM based recovery or a stock recovery? If stock, what differs in it from the stock recovery currently present on it?
I grabbed the link you sent, but it's a .deb file. I will search for a RPM or just convert this one, as I am using Fedora 21 and CentOS 7 on my two machines.
Thanks

Recovery is not CMW/TWRP, perhaps modified from stock.
Yep, What I did were execute series of command lines manually and crossing my fingers for several times
I'm expecting that will work in RPM based distros.

confirm, successful update using links/directions here.
kk stock rooted -> custom rooted 5.0 as above
yay!
significant speed increase in the ui animations, etc.
...google probably did a lot of support work for the moorefield

It worked yes! Thanks! The only problem I have is my navbar icons is still kitkat, so is my wifi icon/battery. I'm just going to get the xposed module I guess and figure out later while it hasn't changed. But woo!
edit: (DOH!) that's what exposed moduel Xstana is for, nevermind the issue about navbar icons and the other icon problems.
You should include this in OP.
The link you posted for xposed lollipop in the other thread

Thanks for Xposed info. I installed framework and installer from linux to tablet (by trying install command lines manually) and now they are working perfect. Eating pies with lollipop now, yummmm.

Instructions fail with the recovery not being able to mount the SDCard for some reason.
But the zip sideloaded just fine.
Thanks.
Also, any idea what recovery is compatible?

I guess you just have to turn on usb debugging, connect your device to your pc and execute InstallXposedFramework.bat and InstallXposedInstaller.bat

I did and nothing
