[Q] Superpad 2.1: Root or USB access - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I am the proud owner of a Superpad Android 2.1...pretty nice device. I have started to develop some fun applications using eclipse/androidSdk combo.
I am having issues getting my win7 64-bit PC to recognize the Superpad (yes, I have debugging enabled on the superpad). The PC doesn't recognize that its been plugged into the USB port. I have been looking around for solutions to solve this issue but have come up empty. Any ideas ??
I tried a different tact. One can use ADB over a network. My PC can connect to the Smartpad over the wireless net, connect to adb. Sounds good so far...but, I need su/root privileges to do anything using adb. How do I establish/access the root acct on an android device ?? I type "su" within the adb shell and get permission denied. I need to change this somehow.
Basically I need a way for adb to connect to the hw so I can test on an actual device (after I've tested on the sdk emulator).
Any help on either front would be appreciated.
thanks

Have you installed the debug driver for windows ?

To access root and su you must 'root' your device.
Try z4root or google it for your device.
Rooting voids warranty, AFAIK, but can be undone.

[Q] Vodafone Joy 845 error with "adb devices"

Hi to all of you,
I bought the Vodafone Joy 845 for testing and development but when i connect that device to my linux box and run from the shell "adb devices", i can't see it.
The devices appears as a cd.
lsusb lists it as vid 12d1, pid 1031 usb_storage device emulating a cd.
What can i do?
Thanks in advance

Is USB debugging enabled? I had issues with Windows 7 and USB adb and now I just use adbWireless (app), that is more comfortable too.
Re
Yes debugging is enabled of course. I'll try your suggestion
install usb-modeswitch
Geia sou Antoni
The drivers for windows are inside the joy 845
Simply plug the device using the usb cable, open windows explorer and run setup.exe
(if setup.exe is not visible and u see the contents of the device instead unplug and plug it again. Yes i know it's strange)
After that run again the adb devices command. It may display the device with a questionmark but it's no problem, you can start deploying and debugging
good luck,
Anastasios
anastasie gia su did the fone have gps? and there is any way to install wm?
adb in LINUX
Hi Anastasie,
The problem is not with windows!
I'm talking about adb devices in LINUX.
Anyway
thanks

[Q] Can't install ADB drivers- need help!

I figured it out!
I'm having trouble getting my computer to recognize my phone as an ADB device. I have an HTC EVO, running cyanogen 6.1. I've downloaded the android SDK, as well as several of the SDK components (Google-usb-driver, platform-tools, and several APIs).
When I plug in my phone, my computer would not recognize it as an ADB device, so i removed the drivers from my computer and tried again. I attempted to manually install the drivers from the file (C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver) with no luck. I tried going into the amd64 file (I'm running windows 7, 64bit), but my computer would not recognize the drivers.
I'm new to all of this (this is my first post)- any and all help would be greatly appreciated
I am having the same problem with a HTC Hero (Sprint) tried everything but i can't get my pc to regocnize the adb driver
same thing with stratosphere.
I have the same problem with an unrooted samsung stratosphere. I need to install the adb drivers to use the smartdog remote web desktop through usb. The samsung usb drivers are already installed so it won't let me install the adb drivers. What can I do?
Funny I thought I was having problems with ADB cuz I'm on a Mac but it appears you Windows catz are SOL too...WTF is up with ADB not recognizing devices? Somebody should have a fix or some info on this, so frustrating, I just wanna root my damn devices!
had the same issue. here what I did and it worked:
- go to junefabric dot com
- download and install PDANet( 'cause it got adb usb driver in it)
- uninstall PDANet( if you have no use of it. don't worry, adb usb driver doesn't uninstall)

Any way to root without computer?
I've been having the exact same problem for a few months now , I reckon i either have a faulty usb cable or the port has been damaged . I hope there's a software fix for this .

Ok and whant have you done to fix it?
New usb cable?
I've not managed to fix it yet . When i plug my TF into my pc it seems to think its charging but the pc doesn't register it at all , if i get a new usb cable and it works i'll report back .
Well does anyone know if this is a problem with the cable or not ?

I have the same problem. I sent my tf101 to the Asus service center to have it repaired. When it came back it would connect to the PC. After a few months it would not connect. Same problem. It appears to me to be software related somehow. In my case the cable has nothing to do with it. None of the suggestions on this or other forums work. Asus does not respond. Maybe Jelly Bean will fix it. Or maybe not.
are you able to ./adb connect to the asus via usb? if so then that will tell you that the problem is not the cable, it's not the usb version, it's not the device hardware. its likely a driver install issue in windows. i would boot into android and make sure that android debugging is selected in the developer settings menu. then try an adb connection. im not sure about how to install all the stupid drivers in windows because i do everything in linux and its soooooo much simpler.
f it is in fact the hardware cable or port that is not working properly then you can always move files to and from the device over wlan connection, with either adb tcp connection, or using some file manager such as es file explorer. just remember as long as you can get an
./adb connection to your android then anything is fixable. ADB IS YOUR FRIEND. get to know it well.
same problem here...tried everything except format the pc (running windows 7)
I have a simple question for the people WITHOUT problem connecting tf101: when you connect the tablet (mtp or not) what do you see on the screen of the pc? something related to autoplay? Are you able to copy, move files to and from the tf101 like a usb stick?

I dont ever connect my devices as mass storage to he computers at all. i just do everything via ./adb usb or ./adb tcp connections over wifi. or i use es file explorer setup as an ftp server on my devices and move files around that way if i need to. but i went ahead and pulled out my windows asus tf101 drivers and sync app and linked them for you at the bottom. my advice really is to lose windows and stick with doing everything on android with linux. soooo much better.

thank you for your long reply! and obv for the files, I'll give it a try!
I admit that sometimes I used swiftp (over wifi) but every time I have to disconnect pc & tablet from the modem...Sometimes use bluetooth but it's too too slow!!! thank you again!!!
I understand but how do you root using adb tcp???

when I rooted moths ago I used "razorclaw" (and my tf101 is a b70). I use adb with other devices and is very cool but I never need to use with the tf101...

ok so adb over a tcp connection it works pretty much like adb over usb except your connection is done over the network. so lets say your tf101 and your computer are both on the same WLAN. you can enable enable adb over tcp and connect to it with the computer over the network. however to enable adb tcp connections you need to already have root.

I have both Linux and Windows systems. My TF101 does not connect on either machine. My assumption is I have a internal problem. I have tried two different cables and systems. I need to ROOT the TF101 and upgrade to Jelly Bean. From this post I am told to use ./adb commands over tcp and I appreciate that, but I need to have a rooted TF101.
The ultimate question is can I root the TF101 without using the usb connector? I suspect not, but will defer to the expert developers.
I have tried with settings in various selections like MTP "yes" or "no", Developer USB "yes" or "no" or both on or off at the same time. I have loaded and unloaded Windows Asus Sync and USB drivers many times.
The strange thing is if I am attached to the keyboard, I can see any USB thumb drives attached to the keyboard including my USB serial adapter. I would think USB would not work if the cable does not work. Also if anyone has a link to instructions for loading ADB on Linux Mint 13 64bit, I would appreciate the link.
Thank you in advance.
beware of usb cable
Hi,I personnally own a TF101 sb50.
I had some trouble with usb. Tha cable was ok for charging but didn t register correctly under an usb connection ( it showed up and got kicked out in windows didn t register in lsusb on linux)
If you check the diagram for the cable, it s well endowed there 's resistance inside the cable, and multiple connection.
Depending on your version it doesn t use the same pin, even if it's the same cable.
You can buy a cable on ebay for around 10 euro in europe ( i did it s ok) or buy it cheaper from china(no idea about quality).
to sum it up even if your cable work with another TF, it doesn t mean your cable is not faulty ( i have bounce a nano osci on the faulty cable , and it showed no apparent flaw.) and buying a new one was the solution for me.
good luck for rooting (sb50 :: no need to adb)
The ADB thru WiFi solution worked perfectly for me thankfully, and I am one of the many others who have been having major trouble getting Windows and Linux to recognize the Intercept.
Not sure if this is a duplicate post somewhere, but here's my version using Linux:
1. Go to the Play Store and download the 'ADB over Wifi Widget' app.
2. After installed on your device, the app should be on your home screen. Tap it once to toggle on. You should see an IP address and a port #.
Note the IP address, as this is the address of your device.
3. Open a terminal in Linux.
4. CD to the folder that contains your ADB files. (example: cd /androidsdk/platform-tools)
5. Enter the following code:
chmod 755 ./adb
./adb connect <enter IP address here without brackets of course>
6. You should now be connected to your phone.
Hope this helps...

ok when you say that the tf101 doesnt connect in either your windows or linux machine, what do you mean exactly? you mean it doesnt show up as a mass storage device or an MTP device? and have you downloaded and installed the android-sdk in linux? and when you connect the tf101 to your linux machine, do yo uhave usb debugging enabled in the developer settings menu, and are you using the "./adb devices" command in the linux terminal from your /android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory?
also you should be able to flash a custom recovery which will enable you to flash custom rom without using the usb cable. theres a couple files that you need to put on your tf101 in the /sdcard/ directory first.
one is the recovery blob and if you want to keep the stock rom and kernel but just root it then youll need the superuser zip i have included both of them at the bottom.
for starters you need to install a terminal emulator app on the tf101 from the play store.
then once you have the recovery blob on your device in /sdcard/ you can continue. (remember /sdcard/ is the internal memory not the micro sd card)
start the terminal emulator on the tf101 and enter these commands.
mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
exit
(open another terminal window on the tf101 and enter these commands)
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
exit
(now reboot the tf101 when it boots into android start the terminal emulator app again then enter these comands)
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
exit
(now you should have a team rogue recovery flashed to your tf101)
reboot your tf101.
now you can hold the vol -down button while you power on the tf101 you will see a message at the top of the screen that says soomething like "Checking for RCK" when you see that press the vol- up button right away, this should boot you into the team rogue recovery where you can flash custom roms or just flash your superuser.zip to get root.
hopefully this makes sense and hopefully it works for you.
remember you have to extract the recoveryblob from the zip folder before you move it to the /sdcard/ on your asus. the superuser.zip can remain zipped though.
I had the same problem:
windows will not notice my transformer (rooted).
( usb debugging is on, android 4.0.3 with Android Revolution HD 3.5.1.)
i know in the past it works.
adb list ( of devices) ist empty also. Same Problem with the two cables i have.
can you give me a help what i can do?
Sorry for my poor english
kind regards

if you are accessing internet you cannot access adb at same time you need to disconnect internet tethering to access device from adb
situation remains same
Well the situation is absolutely the same even after diabling tethering

Adb devices show blank after Twrp wipe

I am actually following the steps from the pwnieexpress guide to build my own pwn phone, in an attempt to build my own pwn phone. With no malicious intent, I'm trying to build up my pentest skills on the go.
I'm currently on Windows 7 using the android sdk. Fastboot devices manage to return my device but on step 13, my adb devices shows blank in the list of devices.
When I plugged in my wiped out nexus 5, device manager shows the Google nexus adb driver, but I cannot seem to get the adb devices to show my device.
I tried restarting the adb server and reconnecting my device to multiple USB ports but doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas? I've yet to try on a different machine, but could it be a problem with the ports?
Looking forward for any help available.
Don't slam me for asking the obvious, but do you have USB debugging ticked on in the os settings? You may have to go through an update of the android composite adb interface drivers via device manager. Just choose to browse computer, pick from a list, then run the update on each item listed. This doesn't install anything new but does seem to reset drivers. Beyond that, can't help.

Fixed. Seem to be a problem with the usb drives on my home PC, it failed to detect the device during adb devices. Weird, as fastboot seemed to work out well.
I basically installed the drivers in another machine and adb devices and adb push .. /sdcard/ worked just fine.
Thanks!
