Need some help please!
I recently rooted my Xoom using the one click method and wanted to put a new kernel on but in order to do that I need ADB to work which it doesn't seem to be
I've installed the motorola drivers and my computer can see my Xoom and I can do stuff to it. But when I open a command window and enter and ADB shell, when I type 'adb devices' nothing comes up! and I can't do anything! eventhough the adb will only work when the thing is plugged in!
I've re-installed the drivers and SDK and adb stuff many times and still nothing. Also tried a few things I found on other boards but again nothing. This is reallly starting to get my nerves, please help!
In device manager what does it show? I have:
Android Phone
Android ADB Interface
its just "ADB Devices" not ADB Shell Devices
in device manager my one comes under
portable devices
MZ604
higher up there is also
ADB interface
MOT composite ADB interface
and yeah I type adb shell then adb devices and nothing comes up

Well as you can see your device manager and mine say two different things. Mine works. Again its just "ADB devices" I do not type adb shell then devices that works for me yours doesn't seem to. So you might want to try changing to what I have posted and see if it works for you like it works on mine.
right! now I see! and it works lol Thanks alot!!!
don't know why I had to go into adb shell first, anyway one more question for you if you wouldn't mind
I want to put the recovery thing on there so where do I put the recovery.img to push it onto the xoom?
thanks again!
I put it directly in the SDK/Tools folder in other words the same folder as adb.exe
okay cool, thanks again! you're a life saver!!!

Hi everyone, just trying to get ADB working with the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, anyone want to point me in the right direction? I have android SDK but when I launch adb a command line pops up for a second and closes before I can do anything, and where can I find the ADB drivers? If you could help, that would be great, thanks!
If your using windows. Click start type in cmd hit enter
Open the directory where adb is. You can type adb start-server then press enter
Make sure you have debugging turned on in your phones settings.
So that's how you launch it! thanks, can I run it by just opening it with command line?
saying daemon started, but not doing anything, but my phone is running CWM at the moment, should I try again after?
If its running then abd is running. What are you trying to do with adb theres a ton of dfferent commands
Yea the command is going through but nothing is happening

Hi,
please help me! I hope it is not a brick.
I wanted to make full wipe. I made factory reset in recovery and then wiped sdcard.. Now I cannot boot ROM because there is no one and I have nothing on my SD. So I even cannot copy rom or backup back to phone.
Is there any way out? (
EDIT: I think I can push files (e.g. backup) through adb, right? I installed adb for dummies but when I want to execute SDKmanager.exe. it only opens black window and immediately closes it. I cannot continue

Access your commands through a terminal window, like start > run > cmd to get into the prompt.
and from there work your way to your directory where you have placed it, and execute the command from that directory directly.
..
Thanks!
In the end I used adb to push backup in recovery...
All this I did because I wanted wipe my device - today I woke up and got a call and found out that my earphone stopped working I am afraid that it is due to condensation and next oxidation... I did not do anything wrong but when you come from cold winter weather into a warm flat it can happen Now I need to send it and hope the warranty will pass..
Anyway, I was looking for complete unroot process and found several advices. I am not clever from them. Is it enough to flash stock ROM? Recovery will be removed as well??

Ok. I have everything done but the relocking. Could you tell me how shall I do this? I tried to write "adb reboot bootloader" and then " fastboot oem lock" but both case the command line responded something like that it is not internal command etc. (I dont have it in English) Cannot lock it

1.Switch off your phone
2.Connect your phone to your PC throught the USB cable
3.Switch on phone into fastboot
4.Provided that you have the driver for windows for the phone installed open Start/run/cmd (from your PC)
5.From the Android-SDK/platform-tools run the following "fastboot oem lock".
like :
C:\Android-sdk\platform-tools\fastboot oem lock
this will lock it immediately ...

it works only in "tools" and then it just says "waiting for device" and stucks When I tried "fastboot devices" it says nothing... I tried to reinstall drivers but maybe I have some old version? When I am in Windows copying files etc. it works well.
1. Make sure you open the command prompt IN in the folder with fastboot.exe.
2. Put the phone in fastboot mode.
3. In the command prompt type fastboot devices.
It will now show your serial number. If not its either you are such a noob that you managed to screw that up or the fastboot drivers are not installed. Or both.

OK. I really dont understand what could have been screwed up. Ok. It doesnt show anything. Just nothing. Cen you please send me the link for the drivers which should work? Maybe there is the problem. Fastboot drivers are something else than drivers for adb to be working? Because I dont know whats wrong. Thanks...

If you have i9023 you need to add a line into the sdk for driver. You can search the tutorial threads for it.

try this
just check if you have fastboot and adb on the same folder, when I've rooted mine's got this issue, if cmd report "the command is an external one" simply means there is no such program in the folder you are in
copy both adb and fastboot in tools and platform-tools too, so you can run the command in both folder
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android-sdk> cd tools (then run adb or fastboot)
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android_sdk> cd platform-tools (thr run adb or fastboot)
1. Find out exactly what phone model you have if you don't know already.
2. Do the same for your computers os . Including 32 or 64 bit.
3. Combine that info and search the forum or just Google search. How to install fastboot drivers for phone model in step 1 with the os in step 2.

Thank you all. I decided to unroot it and relock it using Odin software which was great and quick. So I am done.... Adb has a lot of problems with drivers, commands, paths. This way was much easier

well, it isn't that hard since everything you really need on your computer ist fastboot and a way to push a file to an sdcard (fat formatted)...
Just go here, download and install the android sdk from there. Make sure the commands adb and fastboot are in your path. (test by issuing adb devices, shold return a list of attached android devices with usb debugging turned on)
After that, just follow these instructions. I am not sure if you need to run fastboot as root, but you'll see
Cheers for the info just by any chance do you know the commands still learning Linux

thought you ditched windows ages ago?
anyhow... don't have linux set up atm, so this will from memory and might contain some errors... Also, never tried mint, I always stuck to debian or debian-derivates...
anyhow, lets try this:
first, use your package management-system to install a jre (java runtime environment.
If that is set up, install the android sdk:
Code:
$ cd ~
$ wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r17-linux.tgz
$ sudo su
[enter your su-password]
# cd /usr/local
# tar xfzv ~[yourusername]/android-sdk_r17-linux.tgz
# ./android-sdk-linux/tools/android
a window should open up and list some files available for download. Just select "Android SDK Platform-tools" and hit "Install 1 package...".
once that's finished (might take a while), close the Android SDK Manager and you should get back to your shell.
Code:
# ln -s /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb /usr/local/bin/adb
# ln -s /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/fastboot /usr/local/bin/fastboot
# exit
$ rm android-sdk_r17-linux.tgz
now, connect your xoom to your computer and enable usb debugging in the settings of your xoom. If you issue adb devices, you should get something like
Code:
List of devices attached
043c12343456476547 device
if you receive something like bash: adb: command not found, something went wrong somewhere. Try the same using sudo: sudo adb devices if that doesn't fix it please write another post.
Also, if you encounter an error after entering any of the comments above, please do not continue until you resolved that error. (For example ask for a solution here)
And, since you are still learning to use linux: whenever instructions contain a $ or # at the beginning of a line, DO NOT ENTER THESE. They are just there to tell you to issue that command as normal user ($) or superuser (#)
/EDIT: btw: there may be an easier way to do this if you just want to use adb/fastboot this once: you could try to simply download the adb and fastboot- binaries and put these into the folder with your recovery.img-file. Might work, not sure about that, though. Also, since I don't have linux installed on my machine atm, I can't provide you with a link to these binaries.
cheers for all your help will give this a go "Dont want to back to windows
Android SDK manger log
Error Stopping ADB server failed (code-1)
Connected the xoom and did adb devices and it listed the xoom with no errors in the terminal Thank you again ? Were do i go from here now
glad to read it's working
just follow the instructions in this thread That will help you to install a custom recovery and root your xoom. It will not, however, install a custom rom. To do that, you'd also need to download a custom rom (usually comes in a flashable .zip-file), place that on an acutal sd-card which you're gonna put into your xoom, and install that file from within the custom recovery. Just make sure you grab a rom that works with your xoom (for example, you shouldn't put a us-4g-rom onto a wifi-only-xoom and vice versa)
have i done something wrong
god-WE174AA-ABU-s5306uk god # adb reboot bootloader
god-WE174AA-ABU-s5306uk god # fastboot oem unlock

The problem i seem to be having is when the xoom is on i type <adb reboot bootloader> The xoom reboots to the fastboot screen after that no commands work and when i do ADB devices in the terminal the device list is empty ?

have you done the # ln -s /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/fastboot /usr/local/bin/fastboot? The error you're getting seems to suggest that it can't find the fastboot application? What happens if you type /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/fastboot oem unlock?

that is expected. adb is only available while android is booted up, fastboot is the protocol to use while in bootloader mode. As indicated before, I suspect that your computer can't find the fastboot application (on the computer).

The recovery image needs to be on your pc. It doesn't matter where on your pc as long as you can access it and know where it is.
Fastboot works by sending the image over the usb cable. Once you start flashing roms, those will need to be on your sd card within the xoom.
all i can say is thank you for all the information every 1 is giving me my head is mashed lol so if i put recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img on the desktop what would the terminal code be

Sounds to me like you are running the commands as root. You likely have also downloaded the recovery image as a normal user. This means the '~' shortcut for the home directory is pointing you to someplace where the file is not.
Try using "fastboot flash /home/Your username/Desktop/recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img"
I have put the file on the desktop ? is that what u mean

It doesn't come unlocked, but you can unlock it. That's why are a lot of us are on this phone. I had an S5 ordered, but decided against it, when I saw there wasn't any progress being made on it. I cancelled my order, bought my M8, and haven't looked back. Give me an unlocked bootloader, or give me death.
You can S-OFF (which unlocks bootloader) & root it immediately after getting it.
I came from a locked Galaxy S4 and have to say this phone is snappier than an iPhone & as unlockable as a door thats compatible with all keys ;D. Love love loveeee this phone and highly recommend it! Go for it!
I unlocked mine the moment I got home with it, no OTA update required as some people have said to do before unlocking it & as far as I've seen no ones had an actual "Oh no! They made it impossible to unlock like Sammysung!" moment.
Ive tried a for the last two days to root my htc m8..but i can not get it to work...tried htc unclock tried setting up adb...but the first gives me an mid error and the second does not recognize my phone...i did install the newest update before i tried to s-off....any help would be great...

What that guy above me said, if you using Windows make sure you right click+shift in the platform tools directly then see if it shows up with adb devices, if not check your drivers.

HTCDEV unlock doesn't work for the Verizon variant. To s-off just follow this step by step guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708628
PRO TIPS: Let's say that your adb and fastboot files are located in C:\Program Files\Android. Add this directory to your system path by pressing the Windows key and typing "environment". After a few letters you'll see an option called "Edit the System Environment Variables". Click on this option. The system properties windows will open to the Advanced tab. Click the Environment Variables button. In the System Variables field you'll see a variable called Path. Click on it and choose edit. In the variable value field you'll see a list of paths separated by semi colons. We want to add the path of your adb and fastboot files to the system Path variable so that adb and fastboot commands can be executed anywhere. For the example location I used above you would add the following to the end of the list:
;C:\Program Files\Android
To test, open a command prompt and type "adb". This should launch adb with no parameters. Now you can use adb and fastboot commands anywhere. When you download the firewater script file, you can just leave it in the Downloads directory. If you use Chrome you could click the arrow next to the file and choose "show in folder". Then shift+right click an empty portion of the Downloads directory window and choose "open command window here" (you can also shift+right click on folders icons to accomplish this). Should be easy to s-off now.
NOTES:
*Once adb is setup issue the command "adb devices" to ensure your phone is recognized. The first time you will get a popup on your phone asking if you want to allow the PC adb access. Make sure you check "always allow".
*Before you issue the "su" command wait about 30 seconds to allow WeakSauce to root the phone after reboot. If you get an error saying "su not found" it's because WeakSauce has not yet rooted the phone. Wait 10 seconds and try again.
*When you issue the "su" command wake your phone's display and look for a SuperSu request. Allow it obviously.
*It's possible that the process may fail. If it does just try again. If it keeps failing try a different USB 2.0 port. Also make sure you're using the best USB cable that you have. The one that came with the phone should work.

Try 'adb kill-server' then issue 'adb start-server' then try 'adb devices'. If that doesn't work, try a different USB port. If still no joy try a different USB cable. If that doesn't work try restarting the Mac, restarting the phone, spinning around in an office chair three times, and blowing into a Nintendo cartridge. If that doesn't work I don't know what else to suggest besides trying it on a different computer or maybe in Windows. I've never had an issue with ADB so if somebody else has any ideas for Frausbite77 please chime in.
Edit: I googled this Mac ADB guide. I don't know if it really matters, but it says to have ADB/fastboot in the /usr/bin directory. Check it out. There's a script file and when run it installs the Android SDK tools to the appropriate folder. Also check the comments. Somebody else has probably had the same problem as you:

Edit 2: After reading a user's comment that the script was broken I looked at the script and it was, in fact, broken. I fixed it. Follow the guide but use this zip instead:

Edit 2: After reading a user's comment that the script was broken I looked at the script and it was, in fact, broken. I fixed it. Follow the guide but use this zip instead:

Ok, well so I never got adb to show my device on line....but when i typed ./adb reboot, the device actually responds to the commands...taking a risk i went ahead and pushed the firewater files and the process worked. I was able to unlock my device and install twrp...so i figured out that for and to work i have to type in ./ before i type in any commands...i don't if i messed something up along the way or what...but in the end i have gotten i was able to root and get s off....maybe i got lucky lol...thanks so much for the help!!

That's the proper command line for using Adb on a Mac. It won't work without using ./ before the command.

My bad. I should have mentioned that to execute a file in a Unix-like operating system you need to enter the full or relative path if it's not in your $Path environment variable. That's why you needed to add a './' before the command. The './' indicates that the file is in the current directory. That's probably why that guide recommended putting adb and fastboot in /usr/bin. If you want to fix it so that adb and fastboot commands can be run from anywhere open a terminal, change to the directory where adb and fastboot are located, and issue the following commands:
sudo mv adb /usr/bin
sudo mv fastboot /usr/bin
That will move adb and fastboot into /usr/bin which is in your $Path so you can issue the commands anywhere without using './'. I'm glad you got your M8 s-offed and recovery installed. If you're looking into custom ROMs, I can personally recommend ViperOne as a great stock option and LiquidSmooth as an AOSP option. Try em' out. Now that you have recovery you can just restore a backup if you don't like your current ROM.

You'll love it. A couple thing to note though. For some reason the 1.6 download doesn't actually contain the 1.6 OTA so you'll want to go to 'About phone' and update to 1.6. Also I believe that ViperOne defaults to power saver mode. You can change this by using the toggle in the notification drawer. If you want to add power saver and extreme power saver to the settings menu follow this guide:
