Android SDK - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im trying to install android sdk from this link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
and im on step #17
everything before that worked fine and my command prompt recognized my device so i know its recognizable.
Any step 16 and 17 ask
16. Open the Device Manager.
Right-click on My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista/7).
Click on Manage.
Click on Device Manager on the left.
17. You will probably see Unknown Device with ADB listed under it with a yellow exclamation mark
i do no see my phone listed on their. Any idea's?

I believe I had similar problem around that steps (Windows 7 PC unable to recognize ADB) and ended up modifying some of the instructions on my own.
I installed PDANet and it worked then. Make sure your phone is in Recovery mode and USB Debugging enabled.

[Q] GHT Maestro ADB USB Driver

Am trying to root GHT Maestro
ADB cannot find the device with the ADB devices command. However, I can mount the SD Card for file transfer and can use WonderShare MobileGo to manage the phone!
Here is the hardware profile screenshot

I believe it is because the SDK can't find the correct ADB USB driver!
Installed software environment
a. Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64
b. Android SDK;
c. Java SDK;
d. Java Run Time;
I successfully ROOTed and installed Android 4.0 ICS on Amazon Kindle Fire through BurritoRoot3 last night but this one has no reference on the web for the correct USB driver information for ADB!
Can someone help me ROOTing this phone please? Thanks in advance.
Finally found it, was so easy! Can't believe this.
Just grab the GHT Phone Suite from the official site, install it and yes... ADB now finds the phone connected
Note: I preserved the drivers installed by GHT Phone Suite, later uninstalled the GHT Phone Suite, updated drivers for the phone with the preserved drivers from GHT and ADB failed again to find the phone! Looks like you need to have the GHT Phone Suite installed for the ADB to work with this phone.

[Q]Can't Unlock Bootloader (error...help!)

I have the phone rooted (I used "Root Check Basic" and it says that I have root access). Whenever I use the tool from "[TOOL] OneClick SuperCID for Unlocking Bootloader", it gives me the following error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can provide you with any other information necessary. I searched prior to creating this thread, but I was unable to come up with anything to help me. Please help me out
I just tried to run the tool without the phone plugged in and I got the same error.
I've installed the driver and the computer detects that the phone is plugged in when I plug it in, so there isn't an issue there I don't think.
Make sure you have debugging turned on under settings > developer options > usb debugging.

Debugging is definitely turned on.
hmm that's kind of weird - anyway check to make sure you can adb shell to your device from windows.
Make sure if you've got htc sync installed it's not open or running.
1. connect the phone to your pc - make sure it's in charge only mode
2. cd to the spoof-cid directory
3. type adb shell
4. you should get something like in the attachment and if you type ls it will give you a directory listing like dir in dos.
If you're still having problems maybe you don't have the correct drivers.

[GUIDE] Setup ADB and Fastboot on Windows; Newbie special

It took me more than a month to get my ADB working, specifically because of the lack of official drivers for my device. As I figured that out, I wrote a guide to set up adb and fastboot. One reason for which I write a lot of guides is that I forget things a lot

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The guide is really tailor made for noobs. I wrote everything as I was trying to get it working. So, you won't find any step that I skipped.
Download Java SDK and Android SDK on your Windows PC.
Go to the location where you installed Android SDK on your PC and right click on SDK Manger.exe and select Run as Administrator.
On your android device, enable USB Debugging. For Android 2.3 and below, go to Settings > Applications >Development. For Android 4.0 and 4.1, go to Settings > Developer Options. For Android 4.2 and above, you will have to unlock Developer Options by going to Settings > About Phone/Tablet and then tapping on build number 7 times.
Either install drivers for your device using Pdanet or use this ehow guide to install drivers from your device manufacturer.
Download Fastboot binary and extract it anywhere.
Enter the folder in which you extracted the fastboot thingy. While pressing shift, right click in an empty space and select "Open a Command Window here".
In the command window that will open, pass any command you wish. To check that your device is connected successfully, give the command "adb devices", if the list of devices attached isn't blank, all is well and you are good to go. Unfortunately, if it i blank, relook at the drivers step.

[SOLVED] Problem with fastboot/recovery with TF300TG

There is some similiar threads about this, but I still haven't found solution to my problem. I also tried to post this same problem on general: (TF300TG)For All Your Jelly Bean discussions-problems, but I thought if this was better on troubleshooting.
I got problem with recovery/fastboot on tf300tg..
Background: I haven't root my tf300tg, I got 4.2.1 (10.6.2.11) and I have unlocked bootloader from Asus support and installed APX drivers to windows 7 which works with tf300tg. (even when it's not so needed?) Also I got USB debugging on.
Problem: When I press (Vol Down + Start) to get in bootloader and try to start RCK it gives me error ("Virhe" means error in finnish).

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Second Problem: If I can't use recovery I could try to use fastboot. I downloaded ADB and tried to follow instructions but there is one problem with this. I can use fastboot only when my tf300tg is on normal mode. So I can't use fastboot in recovery or in bootloader mode. I'm not sure if I should use fastboot in normal mode (don't know if it's safe?) to install TWRP 2.6.0 (for tf300tg)
Normal mode:
APX mode/Bootloader mode:
EDIT: After 5 hours of finding, I found that reason was ADB version. Fixing this problem was download: minimal adb and fastboot program to windows.

Xiaomi Mi Box S Bricked

Hello,
I have a Xiaomi Mi Box S and when i was trying to download the newest update but the image got stuck at 60%, so i decided to unplug the power and got into the recovery menu to wipe the data and cache. In the middle of the process, i got a message saying that he couldn't mount several partitions. I unplugged the cable, once again, and since then the box bricked.
The only response i get from the box is a red light in the back of the box from the audio input. I can also connect it to the pc but i don't know what to do.
If you have any suggestion i would really appreciate.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply,
I followed the instructions and when i do adb devices it doesn't find any devices. The problem is that i can't boot into notinhg, not even the recovery menu to use adb.
Btw when i plugged it into the pc i get this.
Don't know if it helps or not.
If
Code:
adb devices
doesn't list any then my guess is that "USB debugging" didn't get enabled in Android Settings -> Developer options
