[Q] no more adb ?? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all i'm not new of this forum and i think i know much of this but in these days i'm having trouble with adb.
i'm not in my house (where it works perfect) but i'm in austria, where i live and have a job.
i'm trying to "install" adb in several pc, windows (xp, seven) and linux (both ubuntu desktop and netbook 10.10).
the error is ever the same:
1. i download the sdk from http://developer.android.com/sdk/older_releases.html
i prefer use the oldest release because i just use adb and nothing else.
2. in win7 the adb driver comes installed automaticaly as soon as i plug my phone to pc
in winxp not, but in sdk 1.1 r1 there are the usb drivers.. (that in my house with both 1.1 and 1.6 worked fine)
in linux i downloaded his right sdk and edited the 51-android.rules and add the executable permission.
(in my house i used ubuntu 8.04 and there wasnt need to edit this file..)
the problem is that when i do:
adb devices (or ./adb devices)
i can see: daemon start etc... list of deviced attached *empty*
there's nothing! i tried a lot of time, with xp, seven, ubuntu.. don't know what to do more.
what should i do?
htc dream - rooted - death spl and 2.22.23.02 radio - amon ra 170 - cm 508 (and also 601)
thanks

You've tried different methods and even different os's, seems to me your common factors are usb port and cable.
I use ubuntu 10.10 and setup fastboot just last week. I grabbed the small package (adb and fastboot binaries) rather than the whole sdk.
My first question is, what are the results of lsusb when g1 is connected running linux?
sent via XDA app on my G1/Dream Rogers
hboot-1.33.0013d
radio-2.22.27.08

thanks for have answered!
yes i've tried also in 3 different pc's, and my cable works good :/
lsubs can see my device, now i havent my ubuntu with me, but yes, it can see my device!
it's so strange because it never happened before, using xp, seven or ubuntu 8.04 in my house, it all worked fine since the first installation
Edit:
I added a screenshot to let you see it. yes i'm using a virtual machine but because i'm at work now.
in my pc with ubuntu netbook it's the same, and lsusb can see it too like here.
Edit 2:
I tried with backtrack 3 (from pendrive) and it works.. also without editing 51-android.rules ..... F**K

Unlocking and rooting N1 with a ppc mac?

I searched with all of the tools, and cant find an answer.
My only computer is an eMac G4 running OSSX10.4 tiger. Bought it for $20 at a school garage sale after my laptop got stolen. I own a nexus one that I wanna root so I can flash cyanogenmod. I've flashed WM plenty of times on my old computer, but I've never tried anything on the eMac.
So when I was trying yesterday, I couldn't even unlock the bootloader, none of my commands were working. I cd'd the fastboot folder and tried multiple commands, and './fastboot-mac devices' wouldn't show anything (would just give a command error, as if I was typing the wrong thing, not as if the device wasn't present. Can my Power PC mac with tiger accept these commands? I need to know.
To my understanding, the sdk needs at least a mac running OSX10.5 leopard or higher, and I am running a g4 ppc on OSX10.4 tiger. I didn't think I actually needed the sdk though, just the tools. Someone with any insight, please help!
First of all, you need to download the Android SDK (setup) for MAC as it contains the necessary tools and USB Drivers. Download from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
As far as I know, cd command is not available in MAC and is present only on Windows based systems. You need to do some research with the MAC terminal. Try using help command.

ADB not showing up??

Sorry guys, I am new here and am having a problem getting ubuntu to work on my NC. I am trying to get it to boot using adb but it will not show up on my PC. I have tried 3 different PCs (2 win7 64bit and 1 vista 32bit), installed the nook drivers but it will never show up in the command prompt. I have tried enabling and disabling development mode and I disabled USB mount. I don't know what else to try. I am on 1.1.0 of the system software if that matters. I got ubuntu to work once using terminal emulator but am having problems getting the script to work. But my main objective is getting adb to see my nook. If you could help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
I dont follow you very well, what's your problem? Your PC doesn't see NC or something else?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
ADB does not see it is what I'm saying. I will say that I am not using the stock USB cable that came with the nook as I don't have that cable anymore. Could it be that the cable I'm using doesn't work properly? It see's everything fine when I tell it to mount the SD card. I just using a froyo card in it and adb saw it although it said offline. Could the cable be a reason why it wouldn't work?
It's possible, but not likely as I am using diiferent cable for communication between PC and NC all the time... My original is connected to a charger from the purchase of NC...
did you install the right drivers for it? It depends which OS flavor you have on your nook. Honeycomb uses different drivers vs Froyo

I'm having the same issues. I'm on a Windows 7 Box and I can not see the NC.
In Device Drivers under <Other> I find the NC but the driver is invalid. I have DL'ed the Android SDK with the USB drivers and I have tried pointing to the driver manualy. No Joy.
Any Help would be greatly apreciated.
TY

have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882751 ...run the .bat and follow it's instructions.
Also: it's very important that you reboot your Nook at least once after your first OS installation.

[Q] One not detected properly in fastboot mode

Hi there,
I`ve got the following Problem:
My One is not detected properly in fastboot mode, adb works like a charm (all cmds working)
In fastboot mode windows says that the device cannot be started (code 10) and cmd cannot find the device and it`s also not charging in fastboot...
I`m using Windows 8 and I know that there are problems with driver signatures, so I disabled the checks through advanced boot, uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled them (the strange thing is, it worked like a charm with my HOX)
After that still the same issues... Then I uninnstalled the HTC drivers and tried the drivers from Google SDK and after that the drivers from PDAnet but nothing helped...
Then I read that there are Problems with USB3.0 and fastboot but I only got USB3.0. So I tried different USB ports and reconnected many times (about 30 times) and maybe the phone says "fastboot USB" but in cmd it`s still not detected...
As I said before with my HOX it worked like a charm... (also Win8 and USB3.0)
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
togx
Try disabling Fastboot in the Power Settings.
I tried it again with fastboot disabled but it still doesn`t work... :/
same problem here....

hey envoy_467,
I found a solution for this issue:
It seems that microsoft´s own driver for the Intel USB3.0-Host breaks the support for several devices. You can install the Intel drivers for Win7 on Win8 (search google: Windows 8 and Intel USB3.0 host controller there should be a link to plugable. I´m not able to post links cause I don´t have enough posts...) but it only works with the Intel host.
Hope it will help you too!
greetz,

usb device not recognized
I'm having a similar problem using windows 8, but I tried both my usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports but results in same problem. I have a t-mobile HTC One S (JB 4.1.1). Everytime I try to do the fastboot to get my token id my pc tells me my usb device is not recognized. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Try THIS
Sorry to bump this thread, but it's better than creating a new one.
Anyway, I have the same issue as the others here: fastboot won't work at all.
Btw, I've tried all possible solutions but installing the intel driver isn't possible due to a limitation on Windows + Intel 8 Series.
Windows 8, Intel 4th generation processor (8 Series/220) on a Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI.
USB eXtensible Host Controller driver by Microsoft can't be modified to work with the Intel 8 Series driver. When trying to install it it says that my PC doesn't have the requirements to install the program (driver can be found here -- 8 Series ONLY!!) probably because I'm on Windows 8 (no, setting the app to run with Win7 compatibility mode doesn't work either).
Using Naked Driver 0.72..
Has anyone tried with a virtual machine? Maybe I could install Ubuntu on a VM to test it when I get the time.
Any other ideas?
VM doesn't work.. Since Windows won't recognize the phone while on fastboot that means that the VM Linux won't find the devide either.
LiveUSB won't install the android SDK either.. I'm stuck..
FIXED, kinda.. Workaround on Linux.
More info:
Just did it..
But not on Windows..
I've created a LiveUSB from Ubuntu 12.04 using the "Universal USB Installer" from: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/
When creating the LiveUSB I've created with 4gb (4096mb) of free space on a 16gb flash drive just in case, but you can make it work with a 4gb flash drive.
Then I installed the Android SDK.
Then I was able to use fastboot to change the CID to 11111111.. Working great.. Now let's download the developer ruu..
Tutorial used to install the SDK: http://askubuntu.com/questions/318246/complete-installation-guide-for-android-sdk-on-ubuntu
To run all commands faster, just type "sudo su" before starting. After that type "apt-get -f install" to clean everything.
Remember: To install anything the tutorial asks you have to use the command "apt-get install name-of-package", where the name is the item the tutorial says.
Go up to Step 4.
Download and Unzip/extract the AndroidSDK to the desktop (just the SDK, you don't need the full bundle).
Go to the unzipped folder, go to the Tools folder, double click "android", run in terminal, install the SDK and the TOOLS.
When finished, open a terminal window, navigate to your unzipped folder, than navigate to platform-tools and use the command "./adb" and "./fastboot" to work your magic..
Edit: Still not able to install the RUU..
At least now I have the phone ready.. Just have to find a new PC to install the RUU..

Q: USB Not Recognised while in Fastboot

Hey guys,
Wonder if you can all help me,
Im not new to Rooting, but i have never come across this error before, ive searched accross XDA and Google, but cannot for the life of me find a fix, found a couple of things about deleting a registry file, and installed the One drivers which i had downloaded from here. I Do not have HTC Sync installed.
When device is powered up normally and connected to USB it as fine. When i reboot the Device into fastboot and connect it, i get a Error saying USB Device not recognised.
When i goto device manager, its shows up as My One under HTC, but has a Yellow '!' in a triangle, when i click on properties it states a code 10 Device Fails To Start error.
Please help as this is really frustrating me... Ive tried everything! And i really dont want to re-set my whole laptop as i will lose ALOT of data!
Like i said, im not new to this, as been doing this since the days of the HTC HD2...Am i missing something? Having a thick moment?
Running Windows 8.1.
If anyone really knows what this could be and could possibly fix, let me know as have team viewer and would gladly let you connect to me to help me out (Donation for your time aswell)
Thanks in Advance!
Really simple mate, windows 8.1 isnt compatible with fastboot drivers for now. Only adb is working atm. So dont be scared, your phone have no problem, its only because you updated to 8.1
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Edit: there is a possible fix if your computer is based on intel chipset usb 3.0. Just google something like Windows 8.1 fastboot fix. Otherwise I think you will need to wait or simply use another computer with win7 or 8.0 or maybe dual boot win7 or even boot win7 with a vm?
Edit 2: search the forum, there is a "how to" force win7 fastboot drivers installation on win8.
Perfect buddy worked a Treat! Thankyou so much! I was getting so frustrated haha!
Didnt know it was a problem with Windows, so just needed to change the search terms, do'h!
For all those that has the problem in the future, a link for the fix!
Clicky!
Mods, this can now be closed, fixed!
fastboot for windows 8.1 over linux and this is my option to work fastboot on win 8.1
load wubi (windows ubuntu installer) over the link http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Wubi
than install ubuntu, on harddrive C:// and reboot your Pc
Now you have a linux in your current system, you can remove ubuntu (linux) in Programms & feautures list in windows.
now reboot reboot the system and isntall in ubuntu fastboot.
you musst give in the terminal sudo apt-get fastboot
and now you can flash your bootloader in linux.
but you musst sudo bevor you type fastboot flash type sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
adb is working to on linux
i love wubi <3
you say it is easy
gooogle wubi (windows ubuntu installer)
tried running ubuntu in a virtual machine still no go guess the vm needs the windows driver to see the damn usb ports ffs
anyone know if for sure it will work if i actually install ubuntu to a partition?
Sony vaio 13 i7-4500u so only got usb3 ports and small hard drive didnt wanna dual boot really

trying to get S-Off via Vbox/Windows 7

I have adb installed and it is working at the Cmd Prompt.
The phone is seen by Vbox and seems to be captured by W7 (when I quit Vbox, I see the phone on the USB devices pulldown).
But when I run adb devices - nothing.
I have installed HTC Sync to get the drivers, then uninstalled HTC Sync. Only the driver remains.
suggestions? Thanks
BTW, I'm on an MBA running 10.8.5, but no HTC or other android apps are installed/

Virtual machines cannot be used to fastboot/adb/S-OFF. However, through Firewater, you can S-OFF natively on Mac OS. Else, if it doesn't work (no idea why it shouldn't), bootcamp the Mac.

tried firewater on the Mac. NG.
why would bootcamp be any different than Vbox?
Why would FW work any differently on another OS?
I was led to believe that is FW didn't work on the Mac it won;t work from another OS.

Yes, bootcamp is a native Windows install. VMware is dependent upon the host computer's drivers. The drivers needed for fastboot/adb require a native install. I RUU'ed mine perfectly through a Windows 7 bootcamp install.
But, again:

This video clearly explains how to do it on a Mac. If it still doesn't work, well, Bootcamp is needed.

Boot Camp worked fine and quickly.

Didn't know the diff between VBox and BootCamp.
